Bigjeeze

I am considering replacing all the joints and bushes etc on the front of my MK2 - It's just hit 150K and whilst it still seems to sail through the mot I think I would like to tighten up a few bits. I have bought new Track rod ends and new bottom swivels joints, new arb bushes etc. But in looking at the wishbone bushes I am wondering if anyone has pressed out the old and pressed in new. I have a set of new rear bushes - but before I strip it all down I want to know if there are particular hazards or problems. I had this on the MK1 and just bought new wishbones but I think that this time ill do it properly. I don't have a press but do have a rather large vice ( :lol: ) Any suggestions? BJ

Apparently the American Medical Association has weighed in on the proposed universal health care plan. The Allergists voted to scratch it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, and the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve. The Obstetricians felt they were all laboring under a misconception. Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled; "Over my dead body!" while the Pediatricians said, 'Oh, Grow up!" The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing. The Internists thought it was a bitter pill to swallow, and the Plastic Surgeons said, "This puts a whole new face on the matter." The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. The Anesthesiologists thought the wild idea was a gas, and the Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no. In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the assholes in Washington!

I have been using Brittania Rescue and so far found them good - But I haven't renewed this year as my Bank offer recovery using the RAC as a benefit of the account that I have. They also provide travel insurance - a combined saving of over

Bloke goes into a pub, and the barmaid asks what he wants. "I want to bury my face in your cleavage and lick the sweat from between your t*ts" he says. "You dirty bastard!" shouts the barmaid, "get out before I get my husband." The bloke apologizes and promises not to repeat his gaffe. The Barmaid accepts this and asks him again what he wants. "I want to pull your pants down, spread yoghurt between the cheeks of you

Hi there, I also had this problem. I took it in to my usual garage and they also said it needed a new wiper. Very expense, however, they were able to help me by drilling through and securing the joint. The wiper does nor wipe all the way into the corner as it did (which can be annoying), but it is all perfectly well. Hope this helps Sounds to me like you have the dreaded seizing spindles syndrome - do a search on the forum theres tons on it. I just had to re do mine again for the third time!

Mum Why not get a second hand head?

I have an adaptor I bought at Halfords it cost around

Cheap & quick way to test - Just change the brake light bulbs - it might be that simple. You could also check the earthing to the lights is OK.

Bought an exchange starter from GSF

Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, 'Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a Mass for the poor crea ture?' Father Patrick replied, 'I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the creature.' Muldoon said, 'I'll go right away Father. Do ya think

Well removed the starter - tried applying current - nothing. Took the end plate off and two of the four brushes had disintegrated - so I think I'll buy a new one :D The cars done 142K and the starter has never been off so it's not bad really. Who would you reccomend - GSF?

If you receive an email claiming to be from the Department of Health telling you not to eat tinned pork because of swine flu.............. Ignore it. It's just spam!

Nice pic of you Kev

Paul What brand is the tyre you have?

Tried 12v direct to the starter - no good. I'll take it out and see what then - The main problem is it is raining and the grounds wet!

Well despite hammers and standby surgeons it still isn't going. ;) I'll remove the starter tomorrow evening and see where I go from there. Any advice will be gratefully received!!

Well Three large hammers later - nothing (it's not an Auto) Where should I start looking - I put a direct current from the battery to the solenoid - nothing - not even a click - Does that mean the solenoid is knackered? I am out all day tomorrow and My Missus now has no car - I need help!!!

Dear all My 1997 Tdi won't start. It is not even cranking - I have checked all the cables battery etc but to no avail. Ignition lights etc all come on Glow plug lights up and goes out etc - All Gauges work If I turn on lights heated screens etc it has no effect either way . Is there a relay or Fuse anywhere in the loop I need to check? Any suggestions? Cheers BJ

Somebody upset us lately then? The bulk of all Social benefits are spent north of Watford ( Not the gap) so maybe you need to retarget your weapons!!

Dear Mr BROWN Please find below my suggestion for fixing BRITAIN's economy. Instead of giving billions of pounds to banks that will squander the Money on lavish parties and unearned bonuses, use the following plan. You can call it the Patriotic Retirement Plan: There are about 10 million people over 50 in the work force. Pay them

If you don't laugh out loud after you read this you are in a coma! This is even funnier when you realize it's real! Next time you have a bad day at work think of this guy. Bob is a commercial saturation diver for Global Divers in Louisiana He performs underwater repairs on offshore drilling rigs. Below is an E-mail he sent to his sister. She then sent it to radio station 103 .5 on FM dial in Indiana, who was sponsoring a worst job experience contest. Needless to say, she won. Read his letter below. ~Hi Sue, Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week I had a bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately at work, so I thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize it's not so bad after all. Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore you with a few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the bottom of the sea. I wear a suit to the office. It's a wet suit. This time of year the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: We have a diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of equipment sucks the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature. It then pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped to the air hose. Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several times with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start working, is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wet suit. This floods my whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi. Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started to itch. So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within a few seconds my ass started to burn. I pulled the hose out from my back, but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened. The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it into my suit. Now, since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish couldn't stick to it, however, the crack of my arse was not as fortunate. When I scratched what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish into the crack of my arse. I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator. His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along with five other divers, were all laughing hysterically. Needless to say, I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make three agonizing in-water decompression stops totalling thirty-five minutes before I could reach the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression. When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing but my brass helmet. As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter running down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it on my butt as soon as I got in the chamber. The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't sh#t for two days because my arse was swollen shut. So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how much worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your arse. Now repeat to yourself, 'I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.' Whenever you have a bad day, ask yourself, is this a jellyfish bad day?

I think that one is nearly as old as me!!!

It's a wheel sensor gone faulty - or its the clock spring thing under the steering wheel. I would check the wheel sensors first.

If it is the sensor then you will need to repair replace it as without it the ABS will not work - that in the event of an accident could prejudice any claim. It does sound like the sensor -
