    Smartphone rescue.

    Yup salt water can cause real problems. Demineralised or fresh water is often ok (demin is what's they use for cleaning circuits in manufacturing after all the nasty stuff was banned). but if it's anothing other than those it's really easy to identify liquid damage on circuit boards.

    DAS BOOT tonight!

    Great movie For those interested the book was written by the reporter on board (also a water clour painter) and was a compilation of his experiences on/in U boats and goes into quite a bit of technical detail, an interesting read.

    Jumping out of a Plane...

    Your canopy will be over head about a second after you leave the plane, then you'll be doing your checks to make sure it's a good one.

    Jumping out of a Plane...

    Where about are you jumping, sounds like Netheravon? I've done a few jumps, well just over 1100 over the last 10 years. What you'll be doing is a static line jump, just follow all the instructions and you'll be fine. Nick

    W202 Exhaust

    That might have caused the confusion, it's the original exhaust that was on the car when I got it at 2 years old and I have no reason to this that it's not the original (14 years isn't bad). Cheers for the help. Nick

    W202 Exhaust

    Anybody got any ideas on getting a decent price exhaust for a 1996 w202 2.0L. Tried a local place and they said the middle section would be about £150 but they cannot find the rear box (my registration says it should have 1 mounting brackets, but the existing rear box has 2 (two tail pipes))...
