Geometry on-line ? At home geometry ? Umm calendar, umm ummm snow on the web-site

Can we try and guess?

Rather than saying "this is strangling my fat neck" she says "stop it" - how stupid ....................... :lol

He shouldn't be driving if he's that stupid

I'd put it on eBay with some funny comments Maybe it was for Dinky toys or RC cars

I wonder if it only a UK problem, and if the identical wheel is fitted to UK and non-UK cars. It's a bit like Lexus wheels only corroding in the UK but that is easily explained by what we use to clean them, if we protect them and what is put on our roads

No doubt you have seen this Tony: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2009/1...loy_wheels.html It's interesting after pressure they no longer sell the 19 inch wheels until it's been investigated. It's not potholes but either tyre or wheel. Presumably runflats have hard side walls hence your idea of the tyres?

Why couldn't they have put a new soundproof fence in first before they start the work?

I'm still using it, had to look back in the post and check for "WIM Blue" at the bottom though. No problems here

Yes, you don't want your balls to float

Doesn't look like they have changed it in over 20 years A little plastic tube on the end will help it go in further

Let us know how it goes, you should get a good test the next couple of days

It's lucky your customers don't have that attitude

I'm sure I have got a similar one in the garage I used to use years ago

They should be alright as a guide. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...tegoryId_229902 At the price you would be a fool not to. Try it in water then in neat antifreeze to guage how accurate it is.

Are Michelin Energy Savers the same? Only I noticed my son's Citroen C2 is fitted with them and it has 3 treads and a slit as the fourth tread - just sounds similar to above. See here a similar one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1-X-MICHELIN-ENERGY-...=item5ad276e881

Not work safe - with sound

One tip for looking for ignition problems is to start the car in a darkened garage ( black out any window and shut door partially briefly ) with the bonnet open then look for spark jumps obviously don't put your hands in without turning the lights on or using a torch. I've used this in the distant past to diagnose a leaking HT cable. Another is to pull off the HT leads one at a time with an insulted pair of pliers ( or specific tool ) and ensure the engine note drops on each cylinder, if it doesn't you have found where to look. Also look at each plug in turn after a run and make sure they are all the same colour. I used to do my own mechanics when I had early 60's Fords and BMC cars when I was a young and it was all I could afford. I've still got the "colourtune", "timing light", point setting tool and spark checking device somewhere !!

Surely there are two problems here? One is the idling and the suggestions of carburation or ignition are first things to get checked, do you know a garage with old fashioned ttuning machines that would identify the problem. The second problem is the compression and a difference like that in my opinion needs investigating. Again that is something the old fashion ( Crypton / Krpton ? ) type tune up machines should identify the problem fairly easily. It's not as simple as the modern one plug and look at the computer there are lots of cables to connect but in the end it runs through a cycle and gives a reliable diagnostic.

So the marshalls didn't red flag it

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die ....................... We had joy we had fun We had seasons in the sun

As well as the twisting is it a mistake because it goes up and not straight down, so could trap air?

Here is a deal and a half if you haven't sorted out what you are getting: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/...yId_165727#dtab

As long as it's moving I don't mind, I'll listen out for traffic on the radio and if it's busy diert to J1 of M40 - thanks.

What's it like between the M40 and Chorleywood about 10:30 in the morning on a weekday? Only I am coming down to visit my mum on her b'day this week.
