  1. Oh dear of course everyone has these problems but its not really a big deal just a PITA.

     

    Its not been my week really although I dont care; after my health scare last month I just laugh it off really.

     

    Went to London on the sleeper train on Thursday night; engine failed at Didcot so got chucked off after 2 hours sleep; all day at M&S headquarters then back on the train so that was pretty much 30 hours non stop. Good job I was up early today! Of course I got to eat several bacon sarnies so that made me feel better.:D

  2. Update

     

    Carpets cut up and outside and dehumids running; looks like 1 floor damaged -- - oooch - so may have top be dug back and re-concreted, charming. No furniture damage - will meen we wont need to springclean the carpets this year:D

  3. Get up this morning to hear a strange hissing noise coming from the lounge and the floor strangely wet in the dining room.

    A radiator valve has blown out pumping hot water straight from the boiler into the floor , all the lower floor is flooded massively.

    Its so bloody annoying I could cry:eek: :cry:

  4. average cars arn't powerful or rwd, which makes it totally the driver,

     

    scenario

     

    2 cars entering a bend one fwd the other rwd, they both sweep round the bend at 40mph, no matter what the condition the rwd isn't just going to spin off the road, why would it?? it only would if the driver provoked it to, ie more throttle, it's all down to the driver, no one else is telling the car what to do.

     

    well exactly!

  5. So its a function of design ie RWD , setup - suspension, tyre type and size and driver input as much as anything then.

    What gives me the willies sometimes are those stories that this happens without warning when the driver does nothing untoward and I just cant see how that is?

     

    :innocent:

  6. :D

    Like most of you Ive read all the stories about losing the back end in TTs

    due to power from tubby 2 . I just wondered if anyone had had the tail end go on an N/A? If not would this confirm the problem is definitely power related?

    sorry if this is a dumbass question.:rolleyes:

    Incidentally mine has not done it so far - touch lots of wood.

  7. Gordon must be running out of cash - today there were at least 8! yes 8 patrol cars along the A30 into Penzance. In fact 3 of my workers got done for speeding on the way to work at 4pm.
