Also if you are having trouble with your terrestial tv signal try here for a laugh http://www.megalithia.com/elect/terrain.html Mine is shown below which explains why I am on Satelitte. It is slight better to the other local transmitter but twice the distance

The standard NTL-Telewest and any other previous cable company installation is usually pretty dreadful, you get the odd exception. Most cable are buried just a few inches, just enough so the customer doen't see them. They then typically get the old spade through them when you dig the garden, edging the lawn is almost a cert to cut them. Green flexible pipe ! about 50 / 50 whether you get this or not. The installers are usually a sub-contractor using local labour. Sacking the sub-contract company usually ends up with another contractor using the same local labour eg the same guys. The network is very iffy and extremely insecure especially for the telephone service. Just thought I would let you know.

Its just a panel van with windows in and some extra seats. Prefer my old gal ( no not the wife )

The higher rate of tax is if you use the company van privately other than going to and from work If you just use it for going to and from work then the

There you go knackered alternator

It wasn't the relay causing the battery to go flat it was the bodeged temporary repair job that I did that caused it to go flat. p.s. I still think your alternator is knackered Have you found a battery that will hold a charge over a few days yet ?

Yep so was I. Is this transferrable ?

They seen you coming with that heavy duty battery..... How long did that last then ?

You know it makes sense !

As a White Intelligent Male Person that's very brave of you

1 Sunderland person is a makem 2 Sunderland persons are makems 3 Sunderland persons are an average home crowd ;) There are sevral spelling variants to the word makem ( mackem, maccam etc ). Much as there are several spelling version to the word City used to describe Sunderland

The current Home Secretary ?.........I think the guy had a point Wouldn't want that tosser in my community either.

As an ardent Newcastle supporter let me reassure you that you will not be the first against the wall when the revolution comes...hope that makes you feel better. Now if you can just take your place in the queue for the firing squad behind the Sunderland fans............

Is the warranty transferrable.......thought it only was under a private sale Shoot me down in flames ( again ) if I'm talking carp.

And your Galaxy's an Auto too...... You lazy sod !

Davey1825...does your neighbour own a fuel can and a bit of plastic pipe !

Considerations when buying a Gal... Does it have a log book.....if no walk away No Engine Spray Shield underneath....walk away Oily handmarks inside engine.....walk away Does the seller appear to be a Gypo......walk away If Diesel and the engine sounds like mine....walk away If petrol and the engine sounds like mine....run away quickly Does mileage appear very low for age.....walk away 4X4 if no driveshaft to rear axle....walk away Doesn't start...get your multimeter out....or possibly walk away Hope this helps

The box I keep my tool in is a private matter not for discussion on this forum.

Yep that is a big problem Just for reference mine had a problem ( relay 109, later changed and sorted ). However the temporary fix was to connect a direct feed to the fuel cut-off relay ( which was fred on ignition by relay 109, or would have been if it wasn't faulty ). This direct feed if left connected for a day was sufficient to totally drain a fully charged battery. I would not have thought that the little current required by the cut-off relay would have been sufficient to do this, however it was ( an in-line switch cured the problem, as long as I remembered to turn it off on a night ). OK back to the problem 0.2A for 24 Hrs = 4.8A per day = 9.6A per weekend This is not going to drain your battery down too much. Unless of course it is not charging sufficiently in the first place. The symptoms would point to sudden failure of the charging system. The scenario is. Everything ok Suddenly flat battery. Something has broken ( assuming no coincidal work taken place eg something new added very previously to failure ). Battery replaced with new one......no difference. No additional sudden drain found on battery ( 200mA is negligible ) Almost certain then that charging system at fault.......! Can't see any other likely outcome

It is suspiciously similar !

BIGRUPE01.......that's not MO4 wearing a cat suit in your avatar is it ? I am sure I have seen that same dance before :rolleyes:

Yors reserve team I think ( after seeing the result of the Liverpool game ) Nice draw for the semi-final of the carling cup.

I am assuming of course that you do not have a leaky fuel tank. Also that you done the mileage at a sensible speed, above 20mph and below 80mph.

I am still finding difficulty seeing the problem here. The battery drops 0.2V overnight ! This is normal and not a problem ! Does the battery continue to drop its voltage...if not don't worry Does the battery still start the car easily....if so don't worry Other than the battery voltage dropping overnight what are the other issues ?

Petitions are a waste of time, I prefer the letter bomb approach. pass the semtex ( from the left hand-side ).
