General / CAGE QUESTION (BRAKES)
« on: 15 March 2013, 04:18:38 pm »
my citroen c4 passed the mot with an advisor that the rear brakes are slightly corroded. i was thinking about putting new discs on,(i have done loads on other cars) but have heard that i have to "wind" the pistons back into the calipers? can i not just push them back in with my trusty pushing in tool? i have seen the winding in tools on ebay (left and right)? and a thing that looks like a chinese puzzle, a alloy block with nipples sticking out in various places :b do i really need to wind them in? :car

« on: 22 November 2012, 08:59:18 am »
well we won our court battle for unfair dismissal and are due back in court on the 22nd of january  :woot does anybody know if we have to pay tax on our compensation? we have no idea how much we will get but it could be as much as a years wage we think (hope) as far as losses go i am about £30 a week down on this gardening leave but on the other hand i am not using £20 a week on fuel so can't complain. will have to find a job in january but i will worry about that later.  ;)

General / any mechanics out there (car)
« on: 03 October 2012, 03:48:48 pm »
i want the oil and filters doing on my citroen C4. anybody who has owned one and contemplated doing it themselves will know what a faff it is. the air filter takes about an hour and the oil cant be dropped till the big shield under the front of the car has been removed. my problem is (sorry mechanics) i dont trust em to do a proper job so want to do it myself. would it be ok to leave the big plastic shield off and drive as normal? i only say that about mechanics because when i have taken cars for service before the oil has not been done. i know this cos it is black as coal and the old manky filter was still in place. cars of the past never had these things fitted,im sure its just to stop you doing stuff yourself

General / redundancy and the law!
« on: 30 July 2012, 10:47:55 am »
sadly been made redundant AGAIN! fifth time in six years :\ . i wont name the company but i used to drive a 44tonne tipper for them and after we all decided to join unite (nobody else in the company is in the union) they decided they didnt need 6 drivers (out of 18) so after 30 days consultation and a weeks notice we were given our marching orders. they insisted we were surplus to requirement because there was not enough work for us. this was a complete lie as we were run off our feet every day. also eight or nine drivers a week from another depot in ireland came across to work with us because we had too much work and they had none. they are still coming over doing the job. also if there is no work why is the warehouse manager and one of the shunters now going out doing my job  :eek . the union argued that the job was not redundant and we would see them in court if they didnt back down hence there is a tribunal some time this month. are they breaking the law? what if any result can we expect from a tribunal? i have signed on the agency but they wont start me yet because its a long term contract and i am off to turkey for a fortnight next week so as it stands i wont have earned anything for a month! (2 weeks here and 2 in turkey) its a good job we all like beanz on toast for tea (smart price ones at that)!

is there any way to calculate how much ppi i will have paid on a loan? i had two loans from nat west in the early 90s totalling £4500. i was young and daft and will probably have agreed to ppi on my loans. the halifax have just sent me a cheque for £1400 so nat west are in for it next

« on: 13 June 2012, 06:09:21 pm »
just got one of these and am sort of happy with it apart from one major niggle. facebook and twitter work fine when i click on them from the app page but when i click on the internet (a blue earth) or google the display goes to about 30% light level and is just about unreadable. everything else works fine but this is getting to the point where i am going to send it back and carry on with my old iphone. the brightness is on max and is crystal clear till i try internet or google. please help :wall :wall :wall :wall

General / wifi help please
« on: 19 April 2012, 06:45:56 pm »
can anybody help me with setting a password on a virgin media wifi thing. weeks ago i thought it was running a bit slow and both mine and the wifes wifi connections on the phones are slow too. i looked today at devices connected to this pooter and found our stuff and JA-KOMPUTER as well. i suspect the poles that live next door but i would rather fix it this way than go round and bludgeon them all to death (i am close to that now) help to save the lives of some bastards that never leave the house and chainsmoke all the live long day! my house smells of fags now as does the other side of them. me bloods boiling :grumble i thought i had set a password when we got it but obviously not  :grumble

General / ppi letter
« on: 07 April 2012, 03:37:31 pm »
although i am a horse of a man i am a bit thick  :b . can anybody give me any ideas on the correct wording to ask a bank/building society if i have had ppi from them in the past. i can't manage to get it looking right and all the templates i can find on tinternet are not what i want. i really just want to say "hey you,did you sell me ppi in the past cos i can't remember and i would like it back please. but better than that. ta very much

General / cage advice (again)
« on: 19 January 2012, 04:44:07 pm »
Its time for a change of car as this bugger of mine is too thirsty and the tax is too high :o I want a good sized saloon or hatchback and have narrowed it down to two. I quite fancy a passat or mondeo (don't laugh) diesel around 57 or 08 reg. I have sat in both last weekend and am stuck on various things. I have heard horror story's about both of these cars concerning turbo's and the dreaded dual mass flywheel. On the other hand i have read about owners with over 150,000 miles and no problems at all. There are plenty out there with not too bad mileage (between 70 and 90k) full service history etc..What do you lot think? The mondeo would be more practical but the passat just felt like a really nice place to be. The wife wants to go looking for a 1.6 focus estate but i am fighting hard to change her mind :kiss . Any good or bad experiences on either of these would be welcome. No more french shyte for me!

General / wifi help please
« on: 24 December 2011, 08:38:51 am »
When i connect to my wifi at home with my iphone it says in the wifi networks "colins wifi" it has since we set it up. for the last two days it has changed to HT-APO it all seems to work fine but i am wondering if it has been hacked or tampered with in some way. There are 4 young polish lads living next door who never leave the house except for a bit of shopping,they stay in all day on laptops and desktops doing god knows what. I know this cos my neighbour on the other side has been round to complain several times and they are all just sitting there on their pooters. (he has a young kid and they play noisy music) am i being paranoid? should i go round and terminate them? or should i just ring virgin and ask them to look into it? if i find out they have hacked into my pooter/wifi it will make the papers cos i will club them like seals. not kidding!
