Believe me..I said something quite a bit stronger than that! :eek:

Addendum: Called Autoglass for glass replacement(through insurance hotline) at 11AM, finally came to fit my new glass at 20:30 hrs....Am I p*ssed now or what?

Hi folks. Moving out of family home today, lots on my mind when I close the boot of my car and walk inside. Remembered something I needed from the car when the awful realisation sank in ...id locked my ONLY set of keys in the car boot. Mad panic...lots of <Disgusting> expletives at the top...

Nice one Satch, thanks for reply earlier. You were right. Mobil 1 5W40 fully synthetic MB229.3 Mobil 1 0W40 MB229.5 I also rang MB customer care UK and all they would recommend was MB229.1 Spec (10W40?) Think i'll give the Halfords oil a try, currently £19.99 for 5L. ;)

OK, now I'm confused, The same grade Mobil 1 is listed under MB229.3 and MB229.5 (where they recommend the use of a fleece filter.) I've spoken to local dealerships (MB Of Warrington and Road range Liverpool, they use Shell Helix and Castrol SLX) so they couldnt (or wouldnt) shed any...

Not happened yet, But my most life changing event will happen at end of month...my wife and I will be seperating (Hopefully a temporary one)...you just cant win....sure she'll want me back after missing the Merc for a week or two though!

Hi folks, Its been a while since I was here, just to keep you all posted. My C240 Azurite Blue 98 S Esprit is still going strong, notice someone sold theirs for a much more economical model (Bet he misses the V6 when pulling that caravan uphill in his smart car(t) !) Had my door sorted by...

Hi Andrew I no longer live in Runcorn but my mum & dad still do, I moved to Warrington 15 yrs ago, but still drive in every day. I only moved onto the site in 1987 so chances are I wouldnt know your dad. The green things you refer to are distillation columns, the ones nearest the...

I'll only really want one, I'd feel a bit of a fraud putting one on my Fiat!. PS NOT SILVER, Not on my Dark Blue NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :cool:

I know how you feel, Castner Kellner/ Rocksavage works is no longer owned by ICI and the feeling around the place is of doom and gloom, I think it is across the whole of the chemical industry nowadays I only came off the tools 3 yrs ago and I like to keep my hand in doing a commissioning role...

Right, now that I've mastered my webpage upload thingy, heres some overdue pics of my merc. Its' a 98 S Reg C240 Esprit. No Extras to mention, I fitted a Blaupunkt CDC-A08 Autochanger in the boot when I bought it, to match the Blaupunkt Dublin fitted originally. Its' done 40k I'm a Merc...

I too am biased towards your field. I'm a time served Instrument Artificer with ICI. I still work @ Castner Kellner in Runcorn, but I have no experience in PLC programming (only using ladder diagrams on Mitsubishi PLCs in college) Oh, and I'm not on the tools any more, I'm a project manager...

See if this works This is my desktop. It is depicting a view of a canyon in the marinaris trench on Mars using data obtained by the Mars Express spacecraft. I Didnt do it myself I hasten to add! ...Its from the BBC webpage

OS/2 WARP, now I'm no expert but my Dad, who's more of an expert than me said that OS fairly flew, made Windoze look pretty septuagenarian. Is this true or is he just BS'ing me to make him look cooler than he is!

Tried to attach a JPEG of mine (92KB) but damned server says i'm 71.2KB over my limit. Anyaways: Celeron 733 overclocked (ever so slightly) to 850MHZ 512MB PC133 SDRAM 40GB Seagate Barracuda ATA100 HDD 20GB Maxtor Diamondmax ATA66 HDD (For Games) Gainward Geforce FX5200 256MB SDRAM AGP...
