    Midnight also had this theory about washer fluid. He wouldn't spray it unless the car was going under a certain speed as he though it would flow better the more stable the water was in the tank!

    ShadowHearth - W = fiddling with one's private parts, S = bowel movement :D

    Corkie - you talk about being breadwinners because you get up early, those of us who are off today and tomorrow have done enough work throughout the week to justify these days off :P

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEMMY!!!

    removal keys are some price in halfords, around €15 for most sets. insanity for what they are... worth a fiver tops imo. or in most cases you can use a few micro screwdrivers or allen keys or a coathanger to do the job for free.

    Oh, but you dont realise how mean I am with money. I tried the allen keys, coat hanger, screwdrivers, pens, pencils and I even cut a carrot up to the shape to try that. Nothing worked.

    or if its anything like the blaupunkt in a mk1 punto, if you have small-ish hand you can literally get down into the fotwell, stick your hand up behind the stereo and give it a good push out :pac:

    This works but doesn't it also make the metal frame come out with the CD player? Doesn't matter in the slightest though, once it's out it can easily be put back in again.

    Some poor driving in GP2 today, some silly moves that were never going to work.

    You have to wonder some times, how do these lads come to be top class F1 drivers?
    I know they're on a learning curve but my god.

    And also, anyone know of any good/cheap/value for money small diagnostic readers?
