Bigjeeze

I thought I was the only furr ball in my bed!

Not sure Nick - As they are working fine I haven't touched them! They are both plastic rather than metal.

Are they any cheaper though Steve?

Check the switch again - and also check the bulbs - take them out and re insert them as it may be mild corrosion in the fittings.

A couple go for a meal at a Chinese restaurant and order the

If you have some friends who can help why not go to pne of those storage companies that let you store stuff for a fixed fee - Then if you hire a van you can move it yourself - It should drop th eprice down to a few hundreds.

My Mk1 has done 139K - original MAF - No problems My MK2 has done 118K - again original MAF no issues - There doesn't seem to be a stadard life for these things - they seem to vary a lot.

Sam and John were out cutting wood, when John accidentally cut his arm off. Sam, who was trained in first aid, remained calm and wrapped the arm in a plastic bag and then took it and John to a surgeon. The surgeon said, "You're in luck! I'm an expert at reattaching limbs! Come back in four hours." So Sam came back in four hours and the surgeon said, "I got done faster than I expected. John is down at the local pub." Sam went to the pub and was amazed to see John throwing darts. "Wow" thought Sam," that surgeon does excellent work" A few weeks later, Sam and John were out again, and John accidentally cut his leg off. Sam put the leg in a plastic bag and took it, and John, back to the same surgeon. The surgeon said, "Legs are a little tougher, but I'll see what I can do - come back in six hours." Sam returned in six hours and the surgeon said, "I finished early - John's down at the soccer field." Sam went to the soccer field and there was John, kicking goals. "Wow" thought Sam "That surgeon is amazing" A few weeks later, John had a terrible accident and cut his head off. Sam put the head in a plastic bag and took it and the rest of John to the surgeon. The surgeon said, "Gee, heads are really tough. Come back in twelve hours." So Sam returned in twelve hours and the surgeon said, "I'm sorry, John died." Sam said, "I understand - I know you tried your best. You are a very skilled surgeon but I'm sure heads are very difficult." The surgeon said, "Oh, no! It wasn't that, he suffocated in that plastic bag!"

I don't have one on my 97 TDI which I have had since new - I do have one on my 2001 TDI - Maybe it's just not fitted to all models or model years.

Er If I remember my history correctly - James was the Son of Darnley and Mary Queen of Scots - Darnley was an Englishman - but as for the rest - you're absolutely right!!

As Tim Spam says - A receiver dryer is the best part of

If and when you do release the gas to the atmosphere be careful that there are no policemen around at the time - it is a criminal offence and punishable with a max.

Whilst I agree this is the correct thing to do - What happens every time a car AC system leaks? There are literally millions of the things out there and probably at least 10 % are leaking or emptied out!! Whilst we shouldn't knowingly add to the problem I don't think it is as critical as some would have you believe - after all that's why we now have the R134 as it no longer contains any CFC's.

I think Seatkid is right - Don't forget you are on a contended service - usually up to 50-1 - all you need is some ratbag on Bitlord or similar and they hog the bandwidth from everyone. Another thing to remember is that not all of the sites you visit will have sufficient bandwidth for multiple connections - the problem with the internet is that there is no standard - So an ISP may have Gb's of bandwidth but the site you look at may only have dial up ISDN or whatever . In some countries they have no Broadband - So the site you are looking at is dependant on location and the quality of the network in between.

Wayyheyyyy!

Check the centre engine stabiliser (under the car to the centre it goes from the Sump to the chassis - sometimes the bolt works loose then breaks - then the engine flaps about - If it is that you might be in time to sort it.

A soldier came to a fork in the road and saw a nun standing there. Out of breath he asked, "Please Sister, may I hide under your skirts for a few minutes. I'll explain why later." The nun agreed. Just a moment later, two Military Police came running along and asked, "Sister, have you seen a soldier running by here??" The nun replied, "He went that way." After the MPs disappeared, the soldier crawled out from under her skirt and said, "I can't thank you enough Sister, you see I don't want to go to Iraq." The nun said, "I can fully understand your fear." The soldier added, "I hope you don't think me rude or impertinent, but you have a great pair of legs!" The nun replied, "If you had looked a little higher, you would have seen a great pair of balls... I don't want to go to Iraq either."

And of course there the time wasted dealing with the rebelious ones ;) more time wasted with kids that have Trouble With Attitude and Timekeeping, perhaps you wer/are one of those? Regards - J I think people are too full of their own importance. If I need to see a Medico - then I will wait - I don't feel that I am made to wait longer than is necessary. Likewise with schools - Yes I do think that there is a serious management issue and that the PC brigade have completely ruined our lives and those of our children but -none of this can or will be changed because no matter how bad we think it is and that "those" people are the ones that need sorting - we are not prepared to be sorted - we don't see we are as much a part of the problem as they are - even if that is by saying or doing nothing - failing to stand up and be counted - we are all complicit. But luckily me and mine are perfect so leave me out. John - I was an A student - never late, never rude, perfectly attentive and a joy to teach. I haven't changed much at all!!!!

Unless your time is so valuable that it can't be wasted just shut up and be grateful that you will be treated - even if it's a bit late. If a Dr or Dentist is running late it's usually because the previous patient or an emergency caused a delay - it's nopt because they want to pi55 you off. Likewise the same for anybody delaing with the public or running a large institution like a school - Most heads of large comps have staff in excess of 70 - or 80 and of course a couple of thousand students - It isn't easy making all that run on time. With schools what's really needed is for parents to support their teachers and for Teachers to go the extra mile - Ban PC - stuff Health & Safety and give all the first aiders a good kicking - bloody self satisfied jumped up know it all prigs!!! Wanna know how to stop a child choking? take your fist out of their throat!! Want to stop them bleeding - don't hit them with sharp objects - use blunt ones then theres only bruising!! A Slap a day keeps the b******s at play!!!! :D

GSF - German Swedish & French - Pattern parts etc OEM - Original Equipment Manufacturer VAG - Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft - It translates as Volkswagen Plc or similar - it means with share or stockholders. But to you and me - VW Audi!!

3 mice in pub having a beer, discussing who's the hardest.. first mouse says "I'm the hardest. I go up to the mousetraps, rip the cheese out and benchpress the bar 30 times, then throw it across the room". Second one says, "You poof ! I get rat poison, crush it into powder and snort it." Third mouse finishes his drink and walks to the door. "Where are you going?" ask the other two. "Home," he says "to shag the cat."

Thats because their cars are worthless and they don't have any insurance either!!!

Well it does sound like you are having fun!!! The first questions to ask are - Was it working when you got it? Is so how did the fault manifest itself? If it slowly lost effectiveness then there must be a leak. It's worth going to someone like Halfords and getting them to re gas it and putting in some dye - then you may be able to find the leak. I don't think that all of the components can be faulty - it has to be one of them. The condenser is favourite (hope it isn't the evaporater) there is a spot where they condensers leak that cannot be see until you take the front grill off - they have a habit fo leaking there. Also it may be a pipe or joint. It's worth a look. You wont get a solid guarantee from anyone unles they change the whole thing - which would be unnecessary and expensive. I have two Gals, one 10 years old and the air con is still working - it had a new receiver dryer 3 years ago and is still working fine. The other has just had a leaking pipe which the garge told me was the condenser - but I have repaired the pipe and re gassed it using the Halfords gas - It isn't perfect but it is working and no longer leaking. I am now taking it to get a vacuum and re gas. Don't give up too easily it's a bugger on these cars but there are a lot that do still work.

John is walking through the park when he approaches a man who is sitting on a park bench he sees he has a young puppy on a lead sitting there licking his balls. John says to the man "I wish I could that!" The man said to John - "Well if you give him a biscuit he'll let you!!"

A man staggered into a hospital with a concussion, multiple bruises, two black eyes, and a five iron wrapped tightly around his throat. Naturally, the Doctor asked him, "What happened to you?" "Well, I was having a quiet round of golf with my wife, when at a difficult hole, we both sliced our golf balls into a field of cattle. We went to look for them and while I was looking around I noticed one of the cows had something white at its rear end." "I walked over, lifted its tail, and sure enough, there was a golf ball with my wife's monogram on it - stuck right in the middle of the cow's fa**y.
