General / Missing Filler cap (diesel)
« on: 04 July 2012, 08:19:09 am »
Passed a articulated truck on the way in and noticed his filler cap was missing (replaced with plastic bag and cable tie)

Some twat is always spilling huge quantities of diesel on this particular road, so

Is there a way to report it? Is it worth doing?

FZS600 Fazer / Would the temperature warning light still work if ...
« on: 13 June 2012, 01:31:35 pm »
... you had no coolant left?

I had a carb heater hose come off the other week and I didn't notice at first. By the time I did things were a little hot, but there was no light.

I know on a lot of cars the thermometer is fitted in the thermostat housing or the block and with no coolant it doesn't read much.

General / Covering letter - need help - out of ideas
« on: 16 April 2012, 09:28:43 pm »
A mate of mine is trying for a driving job but we need a covering letter. I've started but the old insperational juices have dried up...

so far we have:
Quote
I am a mature profession driver who has worked in a wide variety of driving situations during my career - from high speed ambulance driving to transporting spinal injury patients in as gentle a mannor as possible.

I have a relaxed and friendly mannor and I am able to stay calm in high stress enviroments.

Any other ideas?

General / Open Source (free) web page design
« on: 07 February 2012, 04:52:36 pm »
Any suggestions?

Want something the other half can use to design a simple web page for our home server (forms, tables etc) that creates code I can hook up to the database without too much hacking (I remember the days with frontpage producing reams reams of incomprehensible crud for even a simple hello world page, so hopefully nothing like that)

Does anyone have audio book one as read by Dougless Adams?

I used to have it but someone pinched it. I've got book one read by stephen fry but it's not the same.

General / Forum page - broken
« on: 27 December 2011, 07:35:49 pm »
Whos buggered up the forum page?
Loads of html and formatting errors on both FF4 and IE9 - text overlapping, misalignment and classic white text on a freaking white background.

General / Nokia phones - fail! Other options?
« on: 27 December 2011, 06:53:57 pm »
My trusted old Motorola V8 Razr finally packed in and went to Silicon heaven (where all the little calculators go). So go me a Nokia C3-00 for xmas - seemed quite good but is sadly lacking, mostly simple features, but things I use often (multiple alarms, countdown timer, can't change display timeout, cannot switch off the damn snooze function etc). No wonder Nokia sales and revenue are in free fall.

So, does anyone have any suggestions? I don't want a touch screen (been borrowing a dreadfull HTC wildfire) - I like the qwerty keyboard bit but don't need the whole email/facebook/msn/app/web browser thing. Well at least at the mo I've no need to check my email whilst riding to work or taking a dump.

Also don't wanna spend a small fortune on it. lol

FZS600 Fazer / K&N oil
« on: 04 December 2011, 10:06:51 am »
Just seen the thread about K&N filters - reminded me that I've got one in the garage, but it needs cleaning and re-oiling.

K&N want a zillion quid for the kit so not keen on buying it. Cleaning is easy - washing up liquid and warm water (even says so in the K&N instructions). But why about re-oiling. Any alternatives to their oil?

General / Foc-u fount of all knowledge - Question about fire grates
« on: 29 October 2011, 05:16:38 pm »
Got a little solid fuel stove in the front room. Nice little thing - two settings: meltdown and inferno.

Anyhow, during one of the episodes when is went supernova, the grate that the fuel sits on seems to have a got a touch hotter that perhaps it should and has literally sagged.

I'm not sure if this is cast or wrought iron nor if it can be hit wiv a big hammer until back in shape again.

Anyone know?

Worried that it may shatter/snap if it's the wrong type of iron.

I could put a picture of the problem, but it's currently incandescent so I'll have to wait till it's cool enough to be touched by mere mortals again.
