it'd never work clamping him. he's too lazy to walk to the door never mind pick up the phone, he'd just drive away with the clamp attached. "if i can't see it, its not happening"

Is the kerb lowered by the hatched bit for wheelchair access?
If so I'd point that out to the fat f**k.

Indeed, if he's blocking the access to the lip to enable those in a wheelchair access to the building then I'd be pointing it out to Mr Tubby McFatFcuk.

Toyotafanboi mentioned the inconsiderate parker was a fat bastard IIRC, I'm 16 stone myself.

166man agrees with all my posts deep down

16 stone??? You are nearly twice me!

Are you like eight foot or something oh Adonis?

Admit it, 166man is your sockpuppet

Toyotafanboi

im not sure if irony is the right word for it.

where an extremely fat man will park in a disabled access area, when there are perfectly good empty parking spaces to the left and right of it, to reduce his journey to the door by mere centimeters. it genuinely is a disgrace.

i mean, maybe if he chose to park in a normal space like the rest of us and ****ing walk to the door he might not be so fat. its just incredibly rude.

indeed nobody is perfect, but i think the root cause of this guys "fatness" could be laziness.

12 stone myself myself and the missus are doing operation transformation.

I agree with you to be honest, if the guy doesn't have mobility issues there is absolutely no excuse for it

It's pure ignorance on his part.

And the likes of him will never do Operation Transformation.

no :pac: as in following the diet food plans they offer week on week and trying to keep up with the contestants.

the missus is big into it which is no bad thing for me and i'm kind of enjoying eating right, its not all as bad as it seems that said, if she wasn't doing it, i sure as hell wouldn't be.

It has been exactly one year to the day that the almighty Rammstein graced our shores and played in the O2. It was a day that will remain with me forever as being a highlight of my life. The nostalgia is immense!

Zu der Stein.....prost!!

Aren't they goat raping German band that featured briefly on a matrix soundtrack MM?

MuppetCheck

An Auris doesn't picture well so when trying to sell one you'd imagine you would place it somewhere that would make it look it's best. Not next to something that makes it look even worse.



At least the "jazzy" alloys are shown without a chopper in the background.

Tax won't be a problem - the gf owes me money. Well, it won't be a problem for a year. After that I'll probably sell it on.

Dunno who else availed of the bargain Halfords own brand fully synth oil a while back, but it is keeping two engines running very smoothly here. No ticking, tacking or clatter on start up even on the -4degC mornings. Both engines over 10years old, 90k and 130k miles on them. One was prone to some kinda hydraulic valve related noise on start up but is much better now.

dont know where you are in the country, but i'd say you'd take this for €400 or so, its been advertised a long time. that'd mean taxing it wouldn't hurt so much.

i'd say a day or two with Mr. Auto Glym in hand would turn this into a new car.

Put in a new head unit in the bros Astra g a while back, says to me the other day it's not holding the memory of the radio stations etc so i swapped the red yellow wires around as per usual, all working fine for about 30seconds, it was saving the station I selected no problem, then poof, both the hu display and the cars display went.mscratched my head, thought it was maybe a loose connector as it was popping on and off when I pressed down on one of the connectors. Tightened the connectors with the pliers, nothing. So I said I'd cut the connectors off and rewire it so I'd know the connections were good. Rewired yellow to yellow , red to red, all was working fine. So I swapped them back, nothing again. Now I have it back yellow to yellow etc but still no display. The hu makes a noise when you turn on ignition, same noise it makes when loading a cd but no display on that or the cars display?
Any ideas guys? Never had this problem on other 2astras I've done this on

Anyone for this?

Is it possible that you wired the radios main power line to the switched live connection? Did you confirm with a multimeter that the wires were correct? The switched live is meant to be used as a signal line only so bad things could happen if you tried to power the entire radio from it. Chances are the same signal line could be used for the cars own screen?

The radio making a buzzing noise might be due to it not being able to draw enough current to start up. Have a look on top of the radio too to make sure the radios own loom uses the colours you think it does for the various connections.

Parts for the 156 arrived today on time and safely. A truly excellent service they provide tbh. Everything is an OEM part so happy out. If any of ye are buying or will be buying parts in the future, I'd highly recommend the Alfa Workshop in the UK.

Delighted.
