  1. I seem to remember posters here saying that when the hissing sound emanates from the glovebox the evaoporator is shot. I would go for the refill/test so that you know one way or the other what is wrong.
  2. If they have completely changed the whole thing it should be fine - I would question whether they have actually done that.
  3. Sounds like the T piece is a vacuum connector and as such could be very important to the smooth running of the engine. MAF is normally anywhere between
  4. I think that you need to consider a couple of factors here - The first is VAT, the second purchase tax and of course the last being the general fall in the value of cars due to the current situation. Add to that the fact that Ford have never been good on residual values and you come up with your problem. I would not buy a new car at all - always one with small mileages on as this reduces significantly the amount of taxes paid as this forms the biggest part of the depreciation
  5. SOunds like the clutch is slipping to me as well. Put the brake on put it in top gear then let the clutch out and see if it stalls - Not the most scientific method but usually effective.
  6. Fit whatever suits your budget - Chances are the insurance company will pay for the funerals anyway.
  7. Only 25 years? I have 36 years experience driving all types of vehicles - but I am not going to risk my life and those of my passengers to save
  8. I just changed my clutch at 140K - to be fair the rivets sheared through the material it wasn't worn out - That said I think that's a good innings. My MK1 has the original clutch at 140K although that one stopped doing motorway miles @ 80K. Just the luck of the draw really. If you are sure that the car hasn't had a clutch then I think it might be worth replacing purely on a precautionary basis.
  9. I think you need to re bleed the brakes again - If that doesn't help then check out the brake servo - If the brake pedal is hard when the engine isn't running the hydraulics must be OK - You might still have air in the system particularly in the ABS system pump.
  10. Last night my wife and I were sitting in the lounge and I said to her, 'I never want to live in a vegetative state, dependent on some machine and fluids from a bottle to keep me alive. That would be no quality of life at all, If that ever happens, just pull the plug.' So she got up, unplugged the computer, and threw out my wine. She's such a bitch
  11. SOCIAL SECURITY SEX Two men were talking. 'So, how's your sex life?' 'Oh, nothing special. I'm having Social Security sex.' 'Social Security sex?' 'Yeah, you know; I get a little each month, but not enough to live on!' LOUD SEX A wife went in to see a therapist and said, 'I've got a big problem, doctor. Every time we're in bed and my husband climaxes, he lets out this ear splitting yell.' 'My dear,' the shrink said, 'that's completely natural. I don't see what the problem is.' 'The problem is,' she complained, 'it wakes me up!' QUIET SEX Tired of a listless sex life, the man came right out and asked his wife during a recent lovemaking session, 'How come you never tell me when you have an orgasm?' She glanced at him casually and replied, 'You're never home!' CONFOUNDED SEX A man was in a terrible accident, and his 'manhood' was mangled and torn from his body. His doctor assured him that modern medicine could give him back his manhood, but that his insurance wouldn't cover the surgery since it was considered cosmetic. The doctor said the cost would be $3,500 for 'small, $6,500 for 'medium, $14,000 for 'large.' The man was sure he would want a medium or large, but the doctor urged him to talk it over with his wife before he made any decision. The man called his wife on the phone and explained their options. The doctor came back into the room, and found the man looking dejected. 'Well, what have the two of you decided?' asked the doctor. The man answered, 'She'd rather remodel the kitchen.' WEDDING ANNIVERSARY SEX A husband and his wife had a bitter quarrel on the day of their 40th wedding anniversary. The husband yells, 'When you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads: 'Here Lies My Wife-Cold As Ever'.' 'Yeah,' she replies, 'when you die, I'm getting you a headstone that reads: Here Lies My Husband - Stiff At Last.'' WOMEN'S HUMOROUS SEX My husband came home with a tube of K Y jelly and said, 'This will make you happy tonight.' He was right. When he went out of the bedroom, I squirted it all over the doorknobs. He couldn't get back in.
  12. Three women friends, one in a casual relationship, one engaged to be married and one a long-time wife, met for drinks after work. They decided to spice up their love lives and surprise their men by engaging in some S&M role playing. The following week they met up again to compare notes. The single girl said, I went to my boyfriend's office wearing a long coat. When everyone had left, I slipped out of it and all I had on was a leather bodice, black stockings and stilettos. We made passionate love on his desk right then and there!' The engaged woman said, 'When my fianc

  14. WOMAN'S POEM Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray for a man, who's not a creep, One who's handsome, smart and strong. One who loves to listen long, One who thinks before he speaks, One who'll call, not wait for weeks. I pray he's gainfully employed, When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed. Pulls out my chair and opens my door, Massages my back and begs to do more. Oh! Send me a man who'll make love to my mind, Knows what to answer to 'how big is my behind?' I pray that this man will love me to no end, And always be my very best friend. MAN'S POEM I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs who owns an off licence and a golf course. This doesn't rhyme and I don't give a shit.
  15. If the belt is so worn as to be nearly breaking then it would likely be slipping which would affect the effectiveness of the power steering - So firstly install a new belt, check the fluid level is ok and that there are no obvious leaks. Then check all the steering joints to see if they are seized or broken.
  16. Check the fuel filter isn't full of water. Check the maf and connections - I am assuming it has enough fuel etc?
  17. This will need a better brain than mine - but it sounds like a relay to me - I am not sure if there is one for the booster pump but that would certainly be worth a look.
  18. Thank you all for your kind wishes - I was working! Some of us still have jobs!! Have one on me.
  19. I have a CK3100 and I find it really good. The only issue I have with it is when I use my phone ( HTC720) when dialling my voicemail it always dials so fast the mail system can't pick up the dialed digits. It works fine if I hold the phone in my hand and do it - even via the CK3100. That aside I think it is great.
  20. I didn't know Ryan Air had employed our mumof4 to maintain their aircraft!!
  21. You need to be quicker in the scrum then!!

    What would happen if the battle of Trafalgar was fought today Admiral Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy." Captain Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): "England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious persuasion or disability.' - What gobbledegook is this?" Hardy: "Admiralty policy, I'm afraid, sir. We're an equal Opportunities employer now. We had the devil's own job getting 'England' past the censors, lest it be considered racist." Nelson: "Gadzooks, Hardy. Hand me my pipe and tobacco." Hardy: "Sorry sir. All naval vessels have now been designated smoke-free working environments." Nelson: "In that case, break open the rum ration. Let us splice the mainbrace to steel the men before battle." Hardy: "The rum ration has been abolished, Admiral. Its part of the Government's policy on binge drinking." Nelson: "Good heavens, Hardy. I suppose we'd better get on with it ... full speed ahead." Hardy: "I think you'll find that there's a 4 knot speed limit in this stretch of water." Nelson: "Damn it man! We are on the eve of the greatest sea battle in history. We must advance with all dispatch. Report from the crow's nest please." Hardy: "That won't be possible, sir." Nelson: "What?" Hardy: "Health and Safety have closed the crow's nest, sir. No harness; and they said that rope ladders don't meet regulations. They won't let anyone up there until a proper scaffolding can be erected." Nelson: "Then get me the ship's carpenter without delay." Hardy: "He's busy knocking up a wheelchair access to the foredeck, Admiral." Nelson: "Wheelchair access? I've never heard anything so absurd." Hardy: "Health and safety again, sir. We have to provide a barrier-free environment for the differently abled." Nelson: "Differently abled? I've only one arm and one eye and I refuse even to hear mention of the word. I didn't rise to the rank of admiral by playing the disability card." Hardy: "Actually, sir, you did. The Royal Navy is under represented in the areas of visual impairment and limb deficiency." Nelson: "Whatever next? Give me full sail. The salt spray beckons." Hardy: "A couple of problems there too, sir. Health and safety won't let the crew up the rigging without hard hats. And they don't want anyone breathing in too much salt - haven't you seen the adverts?" Nelson: "I've never heard such infamy. Break out the cannon and tell the men to stand by to engage the enemy." Hardy: "The men are a bit worried about shooting at anyone, Admiral." Nelson: "What? This is mutiny!" Hardy: "It's not that, sir. It's just that they're afraid of being charged with murder if they actually kill anyone. There's a couple of legal-aid lawyers on board, watching everyone like hawks." Nelson: "Then how are we to sink the Frenchies and the Spanish?" Hardy: "Actually, sir, we're not." Nelson: "We're not?" Hardy: "No, sir. The French and the Spanish are our European partners now. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, we shouldn't even be in this stretch of water. We could get hit with a claim for compensation." Nelson: "But you must hate a Frenchman as you hate the devil." Hardy: "I wouldn't let the ship's diversity co-ordinator hear you saying that sir. You'll be up on disciplinary report." Nelson: "You must consider every man an enemy, who speaks ill of your King." Hardy: "Not any more, sir. We must be inclusive in this multicultural age. Now put on your Kevlar vest; it's the rules. It could save your life" Nelson: "Don't tell me - health and safety. Whatever happened to rum, sodomy and the lash?" Hardy: As I explained, sir, rum is off the menu! And there's a ban on corporal punishment." Nelson: "What about sodomy?" Hardy: "I believe that is now legal, sir." Nelson: "In that case... kiss me, Hardy."
