  1. Just buy a parrot blue tooth hands free kit - works well for me!!
  2. I think it's the anti chatter spring for the caliper - Fits between the pads. My copy of the ford TIS disc has died so I can't check!
  3. I've just come out of the shop with a meat and potato pie, large chips, mushy peas & a jumbo sausage. A poor homeless man sat there and said 'I've not eaten for two days' I told him 'I wish I had your f***ing will power' Top tip; if you're camping in the summer and the attractive girl in the next tent tells you that because it's so hot she will be sleeping with her flaps open, it's not necessarily an invitation to casual sex. Wish me luck; I appear in court next Monday. I got fired on my first day as a male masseuse today. Apparently the instruction 'finish off on her face' didn't mean what I thought it did. A fat girl served me food in McDonald's at lunch time. She said 'sorry about the wait..' I said 'don't worry fatty, you're bound to lose it eventually ' Snow in the forecast! The TV weather gal said she was expecting 8 inches tonight. I thought to myself "fat chance with a face like that!" An Irish boy stands crying at the side of the road. A man asks 'What is wrong'?? The boy says 'Me ma is dead' 'Oh bejaysus' the man says 'Do you want me to call Father O'Riley for you'?? the boy replies 'No tanks mister, Sex is the last ting on my moind at the moment'. I have a new pick up line that works every time. It doesn't matter how gorgeous or out of my league a woman might be, this line is a winner & I always end up in bed with them. Here's how it goes 'Excuse me love, could I ask your opinion? Does this damp cloth smell like chloroform to you?' Japanese scientists have now created a camera with such an immense shutter speed that it is now possible to take a photograph of a woman with her mouth closed. I hate all this terrorist business. I used to love the days when you could look at an unattended bag on a train or bus and think to yourself 'I'm having that' I had a Trivia competition shot to pieces until the last question which I got wrong. The question was "Where do women have the curliest hair"?? The answer I should have given was "Fiji"
  4. No English dictionary has been able to explain the difference between the two words COMPLETE and FINISHED, in a way that's easy to understand. Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE & FINISHEDI beg to differ because, there is: .... When you marry the right woman, you are "COMPLETE". And when you marry the wrong one, you are "FINISHED"! And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are.. "COMPLETELY FINISHED
  5. Have a look on E Bay - you can get repair kits for about
  6. The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again and it won again. The local paper read: "PASTOR'S ASS OUT FRONT" The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day, the local paper headline read: "BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR'S ASS" This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey. The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: "NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN" The bishop fainted. He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for
  7. The Army found they had too many officers and NCOs and decided to offer an early retirement bonus. They promised any officer who volunteered for retirement a bonus of
  8. au contraire mon ami - I won't boast as I don't want to upset you - the forum love god!
  9. Of course they have!!! http://www.fordgalax...on%20pipe&st=15 Have a look at this post - Assuming you have a diesel and the pipes are routed the same then this is by far easier than taking the front of the car off - However, if you do have a half decent Air Con guy then you may decide to let him do it. The cost of a new pipe is approx £170 so if I were you I would look at some recent posts where someone has posted details of a repairer of Air Con pipes.
  10. Is this a MK1 or MK2? Cheers BJ
  11. Check the MAF for the restricted speed.
  12. I would suggest this is becasue they are offering pattern parts - and more likely a solid flywheel instead of the DMF already fitted. Check GSF their prices are usually pretty keen.BJ
  13. The best option is to take it to another dealer and ask them what they think it wrong - without telling them what the first guy said!. It's always worth getting a second opinion. I am not exactly sure what he means by the MFU - It could be a number of things causing the problems - However, I would suggest you check that your brake lights are working correctly - ( it may sound daft!) - If you have a broken bulb change it, or if they aren't working at all it may well be the brake light switch ( around
  14. The WRONG Pick Up Lines 1) Did you fart, cause you blew me away. 2) Are your parents retarded, 'cause you sure are special. 3) My Love for you is like diarrohea ... I can't hold it in. 4) Do you have a library card, 'cause I'd like to sign you out. 5) Is there a mirror in your pants? Because I can see myself in them. 6) If you and I were Squirrels, I'd store my nuts in your hole. 7) You might not be the best looking girl here, but beauty is only a light switch away. 8) Man - Fat Penguin ! Woman - WHAT? Man - I just wanted to say something that would break the ice. 9) I may not be Fred Flintstone, but I bet I can make your bed-rock. 10) I can't find my puppy, can you help me find him? I think he went into this cheap motel room. 11) Your eyes are as blue as window cleaner. 12) If you're going to regret this in the morning, we can sleep until the afternoon. and.... the best for last! 13) Your face reminds me of a spanner, every time I think of it my nuts tighten up
  15. When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don't know, but you know deserves it. I was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I'd forgotten to make. I found the number and dialled it. A man answered, saying 'Hello.' I politely said, 'This is Chris. Could I please speak with Robyn Carter?' Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear 'Get the right f***ing number!' and the phone was slammed down on me.. I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. When I tracked down Robyn 's correct number to call her, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits. After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled 'You're an asshole!' and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, 'You're an asshole!' It always cheered me up. When Caller ID was introduced, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' calling would have to stop. So, I called his number and said, 'Hi, this is John Smith from the telephone company. I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our Caller ID Program?' He yelled 'NO!' and slammed down the phone. I quickly called him back and said, 'That's because you're an asshole!' and hung up. One day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking Spot. Some guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for. I hit the horn and yelled that I'd been waiting for that spot, but the idiot ignored me. I noticed a 'For Sale ' sign in his back window, so I wrote down his number. A couple of days later, right after calling the first asshole (I had his number on speed dial,) I thought that I'd better call the BMW asshole, too. I said, 'Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?' He said, 'Yes, it is.' I then asked, 'Can you tell me where I can see it?' He said, 'Yes, I live at 34 Oaktree Blvd , in Fairfax . It's a yellow ranch style house and the car's parked right out in front.' I asked, 'What's your name?' He said, 'My name is Don Hansen,' I asked, 'When's a good time to catch you, Don?' He said, 'I'm home every evening after five.' I said, 'Listen, Don, can I tell you something?' He said, 'Yes?' I said, 'Don, you're an asshole!' Then I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call. Then I came up with an idea... I called asshole #1. He said, 'Hello.' I said, 'You're an asshole!' (But I didn't hang up.) He asked, 'Are you still there?' I said, 'Yeah!' He screamed, 'Stop calling me,' I said, 'Make me,' He asked, 'Who are you?' I said, 'My name is Don Hansen.' He said, 'Yeah? Where do you live?' I said, 'Asshole, I live at 34 Oaktree Blvd , in Fairfax , a yellow ranch style home and I have a black Beamer parked in front.' He said, 'I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers.' I said, 'Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole,' and hung up. Then I called Asshole #2. He said, 'Hello?' I said, 'Hello, asshole,' He yelled, 'If I ever find out who you are...' I said, 'You'll what?' He exclaimed, 'I'll kick your ass,' I answered, 'Well, asshole, here's your chance.. I'm coming over right now.' Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I lived at 34 Oaktree Blvd , in Fairfax , and that I was on my way over there to kill my gay lover. Then I called Channel 7 News about the gang war going down in Oaktree Blvd in Fairfax . I quickly got into my car and headed over to Fairfax . I got there just in time to watch two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six cop cars, an overhead news helicopter and surrounded by a news crew. NOW I feel much better. Anger management really does work.
  16. The fans will always run if the air con is on - if not then they should only come on when the temp is over the correct point. Sounds like you have some sort of wiring issue. The fault you describe sounds like MAF failure.
  17. That's just how my MK1 looked when the floor flooded. All I did was scrub it clean with a nail brush under running water - then put it in the oven on a very low setting until it had dried out. When I re installed it all worked fine and in fact still is some 5 years later. Hope you are just as lucky!!
  18. If the new engine is playing up after 9 months and has a 12 month warranty - ask for a new engine again - then take it to someone who knows what they are doing!!!
  19. Good advic e Mirez - ThanksSounds like a plan!. If it maintains the pressure then I will go for a regas etc.Cheers
  20. My Air con has gone wonky again after 4 years. I had the flashing display issue and when I checked the air low pressure side ( using a top up gauge ) it showed no pressure. So therefore the compressor didn't turn. I decided to try and look for the possible leak but couldn't see any - I checked all the usual places, Condenser etc but couldn't see anything amiss. I bought one of those dye and seal cans - put it in but of course not enough pressure to make the compresor start . I then thought that in for a penny in for a pound - so I used my Air compressure toi pout in approx 25 psi - which is average for the operating pressure. Display stopped flashing - fans come on High pressure pipe from compressor gets really hot - but no cooling - not surprising as there is not enough gas in the system . My intention was to get the dye/sealer circulating so that I could see any leaks. So far so good. My issue now is that I want to get the system properly refilled etc - but as I can't find the problem and so far it seems like the pressure is holding - do I waste my money or not?. Any suggestions?
  21. I am not sure about checking the DMF but changing it is just a case of replacing the clutch and dmf at the same time. I did mine a couple of years ago. The DMF cost
  22. I would say yes - Once you have had the Cam belt done you don't want to do it all again to replace the water pump. A water pump costs around the
  23. Yes - this is the funniest E bay ad ever.
  24. The bleed tool for the clutch uses vacuum rather than the traditional pressure type - so in effect it sucks the fluid in rather than blows it - I managed to bodeg one out of my eezibleed and got it working that way - Your best bet is to see if you can borrow or hire one. I think that the TIS hasa good explanation of what is required - you can buy them off Joust off base I think. http://www.justoffbase.co.uk/Tool-Shop/Brake-Bleeding
