Bigjeeze

Which is what? Measureup.com or whaleorawilly.com or minesbiggerthanyours.com or todgersrus.com You seem to be be singularly well informed mum!!! That's probably another one - singularlywellinformedmum.com Or should that be .cum? :D

I feel sorry for the Italians - I know what it's like to lose a tenner!!

It was you looking at the joke that made me re think it SeatKid! You obviously have that effect on People!!

An elderly couple were attending a church service. About half way through she leans over and says to her husband, "I just let out a silent fart what do you think I should do?"He replies, "Put a new battery in your hearing aid."

On reflection - probably not the best joke in the bag.

If I could find one I could trust I would do that - But apart form Kwik Fit the three "specialists" I have tried have all been total con artists. The worst case would have cost me

After undergoing a full medical, a nervous man summons up the courage to ask his doctor: "How long have I got left to live?" "Okay, I'll give it to you straight," the doctor replies. "Ten

It's a stockbroker's first day in prison and on meeting his psychotic-looking cell mate, when he notices how scared the stockbroker looks. "I'm in for a white-collar crime, too." "Oh, really?" says the stockbroker, sighing with relief. "Yes," says the cellmate, "I killed a vicar."

While redecorating a church, three nuns become extremely hot and sweaty in their habits, so Mother Superior says, "Let's take our clothes off, and work naked." The other two nuns disapprove, and ask, "What if someone sees us?" But the Mother Superior says, "Don't worry, no one will see us, we'll just lock the door." So the other nuns agree, strip down and return to work. Suddenly, they hear a knock at the door, and grab their clothes in a panic. Mother Superior runs to the door and calls through, "Who is it?" "Blind man," a man's voice comes back. So she opens the door, and lets in the blind man, who turns to the nuns and says, "Great tits, ladies, now where do you want these blinds?"

A chav walks into a pub, orders a pint and puts some money into the jukebox. As the coin drops, the machine shouts out: "Sod off! I'm not playing that shit!" The bemused chav looks at the bartender and says, "That jukebox is well out of order

Life with a woman is like a pack of cards, you need a heart to love one, you need a diamond to marry one, you need club to beat her, and a spade to bury the bitch!

A penguin takes his car to a mechanic because there is a funny noise coming from under the bonnet. "Leave it with me," says the mechanic. "Come back in 20 minutes." So, off goes the penguin. It's a pretty hot day, and he's a cool weather kind of guy so on spotting an ice cream van he goes and buys himself a 99. Now, penguins aren't very good at eating ice creams

Hi Busboy I'll post some pics of the "cutaway" - it's just that I can't be arsed to take out the headlamp to do the pics!. I actually used a hole saw and took out 1" discs until I could get at it . In the event the pipe was seized on and took a tremendous amount of swearing before it would come off. Re fitting wasn't too bad. I then took it to Kiwk Fits had it gassed but it appears to have leaked again. I will add some dye and see what i can see.

not the invisible ink again BJ ;) :16: Sorry about that Nik - you will no doubt notice that I have edited that post to include some words - it's just that by the time I had finished writing there had been 5 posts! All I was doing was calling Gregers a silly sod for his mileage joke and then world war 3 broke out!! :16: :lol:

I was going to post a response but half the world seems to have beaten me to it!! Perhaps Seatkids enormous (alleged) gonads are what he uses instead of tyres - They may have less rolling resistance! One more thing to throw into the pot Gio - When trying to save as much gas as possible you can use the momentum gained particularly on hills to coast for quite significant distances - again saving fuel. I think Seat Kid has polished his car so much with such a brilliant shine that it slips through the air causing no drag whatsoever.

Funny I bought one of those Freeveiw boxes with a hard drive from ASDA for

I think Gio, that you should sit back and think this one through. I remarked on your English, not to belittle or insult you but because to me it appears that English is not your first language and that you may either have trouble correctly expressing yourself or that you may misunderstand something. I am suitably chastened for incorrectly quoting you - I did make an error - something to which we are all - including you prone to do and for that I apologise. The point of the debate is as I understand that Seatkid and others believe that their Gals can achieve 50+ mpg on average use - your point is that they are wrong. You also state that mumof4 is wrong to say that individual vehicles will behave differently as the tolerances are so similar , Well have you not taken into account that apart from tyres, tyre pressures, state of tune, Clean Air Filters,tracking , weight - ie of passengers,and perhaps most importantly - driving style or otherwise will all have a large effect on this "Tolerance" ? It doesn't appear that you have. All that is required here is a little tolerance of other peoples ideas and opinions - prove them wrong if you can but don't take it personally or make it personal. Yes, I am a Mod - Not sure what your point is - but it certainly doesn't affect what you or I say. Keep contributing , keep teaching and learning - that is why this site is here .

Mandy lost her husband almost four years ago and still hasn't gotten out of her mourning stage. Her daughter is constantly calling her and urging her to get back into the world. Finally, Mandy says she'd go out, but didn't know anyone. Her daughter immediately replies: "Mum, I have someone for you to meet. Well, it was an immediate hit. They took to one another and after dating for six weeks, he asks her to join him for a weekend in the country. Their first night there, she undresses as he does. There she stood nude except for a pair of black lacy panties, he in his birthday suit. Looking at her he asks: "Why the black panties? She replies: "My breasts you can fondle, my body is yours to explore, but down there I am still in mourning." He knows he's not getting lucky that night... The following night the same scenario. She's standing there with the black panties on, and he is in his birthday suit ... Except that he is wearing a black condom. She looks at him and asks: "What's with this black condom?" He replies: "I want to offer my deepest condolences"

A husband and wife came for counseling after 15 years of marriage. When asked what the problem was, the wife went into a passionate, painful tirade listing every problem they had ever had in the 15 years they had been married. She went on and on and on: neglect, lack of intimacy, emptiness, loneliness, feeling unloved and unlovable, an entire laundry list of un-met needs she had endured over the course of their marriage. Finally, after allowing this to go on for a sufficient length of time, the therapist got up, walked around the desk and, after asking the wife to stand, he embraced and kissed her passionately The woman shut up and quietly sat down as though in a daze. The therapist turned to the husband and said, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?" The husband thought for a moment and replied, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I golf."

The TIS says "use the special tool" Which appears to be a blank and a bench press - Maybe you could buy a socket that will act as a drift - it's usually the problem of finding something as big as the bearing outer that causes the issues - It might be worth paying Halfords a few bob for one. It's always better by far to wallop it in an as even a way as possible. Good luck!

I assume you have removed the inner race? If not try and get that out - then try a cold chisel to split the edge - it should split and crack. Other that that you could try putting it in the oven or on the barbie for a while - it may work. The dremel method might work too.

Gio I think you are rather arrogant - Mumof4 is correct - you don't believe what anyone else says . You complain of posters English yet it seems rather obvious to me that English is not your first language and therefore it may be you who has trouble with comprehension. Perhaps asking people to explain a point better might be in order. You complain of people sticking together - Well what a surprise - most of the characters on this site have been here quite a few years - so you really should expect that. I don't know how you are qualified to make the assertions that you do but whatever those qualifications are they are not relevent or required on this, a site for amateurs. Wind your neck back in and take a lighter view - this site doesn't claim to either be expert or official - read the title. Just post your experience that you wish to share and others will do likewise - and you and we can make up our own minds as to who is or isn't right - but best of all we can use that shared knowledge as we please, certain in the belief that it is posted with the best of intentions. I for one have obtained enormous pleasure and help from this site giving and taking as I see fit - all we ask is that you do the same. BJ

Curiously enough I had a similar experience the other day - I had removed the air filter box to get at an air con pipe and when I put it all together again I had the is starnge hesitancy - When I wnet back over it in my mind I ralised I hadn't put the spring clip back on the Air intake pipe (the one with the MF) properly. Sure enough when I checked that was it - All sorted now.

Do you have access to a large vice perhaps to press it out? Or failing that how about taking it to a local garage if they have a press for a couple of quids.

Well without wishing to start again - 53mpg is easy to obtain - OK for me perhaps it would mean more motorway driving than town - but if I put my mind to it I can do it - so could any Diesel owner.
