It is an acer travelmate 2420.Notebook. If its a Phoenix bios try the usual backdoor passwords in no particular order PHOENIX phoenix CMOS BIOS Also if your hard disc is dodgy and you have to get a new one and reinstall windows then keep your old hard disc and buy a cheap usb external dard disk case ( 2.5" version ) and install your old hard disk. You may still be able to get some of your old data from it.

What was the model of the laptop ?

mmm may be normal wear and tear but you know how these people think! a replacement HD will set you back between

Looks like someones screwed mo4's laptop to your roof

There was some company who did modifications on gals to allow wheelchair access he used to sell the redundant seats ( brand new mostly ) on ebay I think.

Guys a note on Fuel economy ! Remember in the winter your lights are on more, your heater blower is on more, your front and rear heated windscreens and mirror heaters and possibly heated seats are on more. The power for all this comes from the engine and therefore consumes extra fuel to do this. Also it is cold and therefore you may be running in a lower gear more often to warm the engine up quicker. And more importantly your basic driving habits change and this has an even greater impact on fuel economy. All these are going to impact on economy more than the booster heater. p.s. slightly of topic, Automatics tend to get better fuel economy than Manuals. Yes this is true as drivers of automatics tend to drive more sedately than manual drivers ( with the odd exception, you know who you are ! )

the link 'search' at the top right is a good start :D or if that is missing then bottom left change the skin selector and the link top right should appear, alternatively you could do what most do and re-post it again anyway :D :D by one lousy minute James ;) Thanks Nik, I never noticed the skin selector thingy had been changed. Changed it back and all is now fine. Cepheus, thanks for the tip about the full stop. If the search engine was working properly you would have seen who posted this tip originally. James I dont see the Invision power board logo, because someone ( A*M*N) had changed my skin. Thanks guys

Ive heard a RUBBER BAND

What happened to the search engine ? How do I search for previous posts to avoid posting the same topic again and again and again ? This has probably been posted before ! but for obvious reasons................

The blue velour interior really clashes with the grey headliner The front seat needs adjusting it is too far forward Nice Flip down screen installation though !

ford= shallow river crossing I have never seen a shallow river crossing ? Seen a Zebra crossing and a pelican crossing !

Problems with the fuel cut-off valve would indicate a faulty ignition relay. Relay 109 probably black might be grey, see if the relay is getting hot. If the car doesn't fire try giving the relay a tap whilst turning the engine over. Ignore any reference to glow plugs these are not a problem.

actually Ford were in charge of the design concept, construction of the production plant, logistics and production of the vehicles, VW was principally responsible for vehicle development What did SEAT do, make the tea ?

I suppose I should have read the instructions !

A really daft question. How do you know the coolant temp was 90 degrees ?

Nope it was the wifey :lol:

One of the better ones then. Apologies for the delay ( had to make the dog a cuppa and take the wife for a walk ). Something like that always get them mixed up.
