Talking about DOA stuff, I had a call to a solicitor's office on the South Circular, that spread both sides of the junction, where the road goes up to Putney Bridge. The fault was a terrible smell when a Kyocera 3500 was printing. I tested it and couldn't find anything wrong, so I ordered an EHT card whch has a silicon gel covering the components, I thought maybe one of the parts was overheating. I fitted it, still the same I couldn't make it fail. I wasn't the first to see this printer, so support went up there to pick it up and take it to the workshop. Again no smell at all, until they put the other paper. 100gsm Conqueror, that solicitors use for posh purposes. The receptionist went rushing into the loo to vomit. the rear doors and front door were left open for 20 minis with all the staff out in the car park waiting for the smell to disappear. It was RANK ! A phone call with the batch number of the paper was made, and the guy apologised. "Yes, he said, someone was sick in the vat while making that batch !" Lesson learned :)

I used to work for an IT company as a field service engineer. Was called by my MD to attend an priority call by a company who urgently needed their lazer printer issue resolved. As it was quarter end and they needed important docs printed. When i arrived there was one office guy to let me in, he sheepishly showed me to the printer. Within 5mins I could see the problem, an a4 page folded like a fan in the fuser unit. When i unraveled the page, there she was in all her glory, miss June double D with legs akimbo. The guy waited for all the office staff to leave and was printing off some spanky pictures for personal use 😆 That was before smart phones. I would have loved to see his office PC search history

Get the Astra H retailed spend your the time sorting it, the car looked mint particularly the Engine bay, reminded me of my old 58 plate Astra Elite 1.9cdti , which in the 5 years or so was a brilliant car even the same colour only problem I had ever was egr valves , I'm a foundry metrology technician but a dabhand at replacing egr valves. The baffoon who was of his head I always thought when I see someone on spice they look like they think they are a statue just stood dead still. The motor you said not in your normal price bracket bet you have bought the later MK2 , 13 plate onwards Range Rover Sport , hell of a lot of car now for the money but as someone who worked for Landrover if I had the money would I buy 1 no .

Hi Lee. Loving your KZbin vids. I much prefer real down to earth real life KZbin channels. Superb. I had no hesitation in subscribing pretty much after I saw your first vid. I am particularly interested in your new series of looking at specific cars as of you first one the Aygo. I have a couple of questions that I'd welcome advice on. We have two cars and the one I am referring to is our 2012 Ford Fiesta Edge 1.4. i noted the coolant bottles liquid was a bit below minimum and so decided to top it up. When I unscrewed the cap the middle part separated and remained in the bottle. I have looked online and it appears this is not uncommon with Fords. There is a lot of vids online but I'd welcome your thoughts and advice. Would it be safe to use WD40 to spray around the stuck piece and then try and remove it with a couple of screwdrivers? By the way I am not touching it until I've bought a new cap. Also, should I top it up to the MIN or MAX marker? Thank you in anticipation of your reply, Paul.
@carukchannel8 ай бұрын
Personally I would replace the coolant bottle and cap, if your able to get the cap out then great but they do have a habit of cracking the bottles on fords in general so I would always recommend replacement. You can pick them up new on ebay for very little money with a new cap included. when fitting a new bottle you will loose some water naturally, top up with fresh coolant between min and max. start the car with the cap off and allow it to run up to temp and the heaters blowing warm. Once this has been achieved turn the engine off leave for 5 mins with the cap still off, this allows any air to escape and water will also drop slightly. Then top up to just below max and replace the coolant lid.
@Dahliaman18 ай бұрын
@@carukchannel Hi Lee, thank you for such a swift reply. I'll keep a copy of your reply. I did see how the cap and bottle/cap were quite plentiful on eBay. Fortunately we are not totally dependent on the Fiesta in that we also have a 2015 Seat Leon. However, when one of the cars has an issue then I always get it sorted swiftly. I have to say my car knowledge and confidence is quite basic in that I can check and top up the engine oil, and the water bottle. In general would you ay that changing the coolant bottle would be something a non-mechanic could do and without specialist knowledge or tools?
