Cheers. Spinal stenosis and been in pain for years so fingers crossed this is the start of the end.
I do find her mother a pain in the arse and told her when she is next up i am buggering off in the bus, so good chance i will be heading to TS for two nights with the dogs. Ill let you know.
ps...up your way in the next week or so, You know where to find me if you fancy a run out and a laugh at my Noddy van.
Sorry mate i would love to escape for a couple of days but wife goes in for spinal surgery on Tuesday. For up to eight weeks after, i am Chef, chamber maid, cleaner, pot washer, dog walker and bread winner.

Looks like it's going up by £15 per year for those of us with pre-2001 vans. Was £20 the year before
Yeah i thought it was around that. Some bloke on our facebook group was rattling on about a huge hike but its looking like new cars are getting shafted for more. Talk of the free tax band now being 20 quid. Our car is a 20 quid one so that will probably go up also. 22 quid, dont know how we will cope
Think my Tax on the Bus is 360 ish paying by DD. I can easily pass that down to my hourly rate and between the average customer per day i need to charge just under 20p per hour Car tax is only £20 just now and work van the customer pays for that in my costing anyway. Dont know if there is another Tax hike this April but as yet i am sitting pretty.
Sure as hell we are getting priced off the road what i dont think has been thought through as when/if net zero comes i think so will mass unemployment. The Back bone of the UK wont be running around on pushbikes or unfit for purpose electric vans.
In my Maxus the issue is Condensation in the airbag ECU. Is your ECU not in the floor between the seats. May be sitting in a puddle.
This is what I ordered

one comment I saw on the software
Works! (Be sure to disable viral protection at installation time and add program path to exceptions. For this, the keygen file should be unpacked into a catalaogue with the exception applied.
I think I'll use my offline lappy, My offline PC I use for CNC runs win7/64 and I often test bed iffy progs form dubious sources on it and none of it has caused problems.
That's not to say one should not use proper precautions of course, I wouldn't run it on a PC or lappy I used
for online banking etc
Cheers Reg. Got an old laptop under the bed i would use. Win 11 64 bit.
I never do internet banking on the computer. Probably could now but i was into to many sites for free music/film etc over the years so always thought "Best not
Disc supplied with my HIM / Teradyne knock-off was full of malware you wouldn't want to install.
Best would be run it offline on a spare laptop or sandbox it.
I got this for my Convoy
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/F-Super-Diag … SwUrlbWK7V
That came with a disk with the free version of Forscan and a few other nasty bits of shite. Forscan basic is free anyway so just grabbed a copy from the web site.
this what I ordered
Got a link to that?
Got an LDV Maxus with the Italian VM engine, LDV convoy with a Mk6 Transit engine and a Citroen DS3. If that could read all three i would a happy Chappy. Having said that i dont mind if it will not work on the Transit as i could use an old laptop and have Forscan and this installed.
When i was on the fiat forum i seem to remember they were saying only one tool would cover the Peugeot/Fiat/Citroen vans. Things may have moved on but i am sure JohnDragonMan is still admin so may be able to confirm.

I missed porn spam
That actually sounds like some perv food fetish
It's a Bongo/Freda btw, please don't ban me.
I have two LDV,s and not be banned so you have hope
About 6 for me I think.
Probably 8 then. Soon be January 2025 making it 9 or am i reading it wrong
I just noticed i have been here for almost 9 years Think Vaz2121 beats me by a few month. Apart from Tiree as he has been here since the beginning if time and well old, who has beat 9 years????
I had one of them jobs. Drive shafts, disks and pads. Was doing well as i got the wheels off no bother Disk number one welded itself to the hub so had to use some light force to move it. Ended up using an angle grinder and chisel to get the mid section of the hub. After that every nut and bolt fought me. I would not be surprised is that is the original disks from 2011
DIY mate. On my third conversion and i have changed the internals around a few times to sort out first trip snagging. I have no electrical skills yet managed to put in 240v hook up, consumer box and plug sockets. Fit solar panels, controller, leisure batteries and split charger. Wire in the full 12v system and gas n water plumbing. Plenty you tube videos and how to guides out there
As requested, the old bike in my old van
They tyres were dead flat which made it a sod to get up the ramp
so today I used my home made powerpack to run the pump to inflate them.
Tomorrow a mate's going to come around to help me get it out.
Its a heavy bugger and the big fairing didn't help, we just got it in diagonally despite the partition and
by removing the rear light lens
The numberplate was already broken
OK its a different bike but i just want to sing Purple Rain when i see that I did have a CX500 back in the early 90's. Dono what the chain was for as it was push rods but it chewed itself through the engine casing making the bike dead. Probably should have done something sooner about the rattle but i did enjoy my time with the bike.

Cant afford the Buckie
Only ever had a sip and that was enough. Vile stuff that only a Glaswegian could appreciate
Anyone with an old bike especially will have seen plenty of oxidised electrical connectors
Some I know folk insist on using dielectric grease to keep the weather out
but Vaseline or grease is just as good
you just need something non conductive or reactive to act as a water/oxygen barrier
Funny you should mention Vaseline as i was just talking to the wife about that tonight. I work outdoors and suffer cracked lips a lot. Its the only thing that works but the small pocket tins are not the same stuff that is in the jar/tub. Wife says why dont you just take a tub to work. Nooooooo wayyyyyyy, i said. Why???? What if i got ran over and died. Folk will forever think WTF did he carry Vaseline around with him for?? Anyway its great stuff for the connectors that work. Been packing it into bike connectors for years, Also car/van door rubbers. Run some round the matting edge to prevent winter door freezing shut as well as sticking some in the locks.

I bought my first tin on contact cleaner for a few electrical issues the other month. Why have i never bought this stuff before???? Got WD40's brand and its blood amazing stuff. Does what it says on the tin and also good for cleaning the thick oil oil and grease off the skin.
If you don't hear the lift pump when you turn the ignition to ON ...
The lift pump in the fuel tank hangs from the top of the tank.
The connecting cables come out the top of the tank and into a waterproof connector - you should be able to locate this coming out the top of the fuel tank without removing anything.
Both the male and female terminals on this connector can get corroded.
Try disconnecting the two ends and use sandpaper or similar to clean the pins and something like a tiny screwdriver to scrape away any corrosion in the sockets.
Good luck!
Who's the new guy
Your return also goes to a thin plastic pipe on the filter housing lid. That also cracks, brakes easy however just as air is getting in that does not mean fuel has to dribble out. I may be talking keek and its another issue but worth a check. You got a prime bulb you can pump??? If so try pumping that before you turn the key to build up pressure. I moved on to another brand/van but it is also can suffer with air intake. If i read the OBD reader the codes come back with low fuel pressure. Folk on our facebook page have been recommended to get a new pump by garages when all along its just been air getting in.
Has that got the oval fuel filter housing like the 1.9D?? The aftermarket seals on top are renowned for being shit and letting in air. Also your return pipes, are any wet? The internal rubber can crack where it connects to the injectors and also let in air. To much air will prevent it from starting.
