Gaz

Hello and welcome JESJRA Well it's certainly possible. I seem to recall @ApertureS fitting one (amongst a phenomenal amount of other goodies) in this somewhat epic thread: Out of interest, I was looking for a Superb earlier this year, and was quite surprised at how many didn't have reversing cameras. Gaz PS: Our search facility works quite well:

Next to the Cathedral at Ypres: Gaz

Is anyone else having trouble? I can access my email online and via my phone no problem at all, but mail on my MacBook Pro seems to have given up. I routinely get this message, but then it randomly works okay with no rhyme nor reason: I've gone through everything I can find online and nothing seems to work. Having deleted and reinstated this mailbox (it seems to be only Hotmail that's affected) for the third time, I now get the following message: And now can't get to my email at all via Mac mail 🙄 Any ideas or suggestions gratefully received. Ta Gaz

Does this thread help? Gaz

Little bit o'love goes a long way 👍 G

Will the 23 plate have a longer warranty? The 21 plate has presumably lost more to depreciation. Goodies, or warranty? Do you need heated seats very often in Melbourne?

Does the pinned thread at the top of this section ‘The Mk3 Octavia TDI water pump thread’ answer any of the concerns you raise? Gaz

The cruel irony is that the £39.99 one from a scrapper: Is also from a flash red, '65 plate Polo, just like Mrs Gaz's. What's the betting it was from the same f'kin' pot of paint and would have faded to be a near f'kin' perfect match for Mrs Gaz's? 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 Gaz

Looks a bit like a classic roman sculpture of a bearded man with some groovy sunglasses on: ....wearing a curious space helmet. Don't mind me - too much chocolate G

Epilogue 😐 An Accident Repair Centre came out today and replaced the fuel filler flap assembly in pre-painted flash red. It took him ten minutes. He allegedly tried to polish out the minor paint chips. And said if we're not satisfied to call the office and they'll arrange paintwork. As we all know, fresh flash red is never going to match nine year old flash red. I can see the disparity - it's not awful, but it's there. I've said that if Mrs Gaz is not happy, she should call the ARC and tell them so. I am now in the dog house for not telling Mrs Gaz to not make an insurance claim, even though I did not know she was making one until it was already happening, and my understanding was I'd be getting some 'All Plastics' adhesive to glue the old flap back on with as a first step. Doodle do be doo 🙄 Gaz

1) Stick with what you already have 2) Avoid anything diamond faced. They may look pretty, but keeping them nice for any length of time is nigh on impossible, and they soon fade with stone chips, brake dust and lacquer peel/damage. Gaz

There's a previous discussion, where Pete confirmed it should be a 20A fuse: Gaz

I win, I win, Yaaayyyyy!!! 😁 My life is that exciting I'm gonna celebrate my contrariness with a well deserved cuppa tea Glad you got it sorted 👍 Gaz

Portland Bill Lighthouse?

I'm gonna say it's in there, stuck open, just to be contrary 😁 One of us is gonna be right! G

+1 👍 Micks one's obviously more photogenic. Mine comes through somewhat akin to the Millennium Falcon making the jump to light speed 🙄 We only had one sunflower this year, the rest were eaten by slugs and snails. It's just made it above our 6' garden wall, so can watch the Sun go down: Gaz

Possibly the button to turn off the internal alarm sensors.

Twilight, looking over towards the end of the South Downs: I quite like this photo, even though I appreciate its quality isn't all that. The Sun had just gone, the Moon just up, lovely pinky orange hues over the Downs and the sky's blue was splendid. A case of the camera not quite being able to capture what the eye could behold I'm afraid. Gaz

Hello and welcome MG89 We like Sidmouth - always enjoy a visit to the donkey sanctuary 😎👍 Gaz

This is Mrs Gaz's first insurance claim in 40 years of driving. She's not long off the phone to her insurer as, wait for it..... wait for it...... their online claims system isn't working 🙄 I'm sure she'll get her excess back. Our preferred repairer isn't on her insurers list. If we wanted to use our preferred repairer, we'd have to pay £200 for the privilege. I've given up. I've offered to glue it back on and use touch-up paint. I've offered to buy a £40 unit (same colour) from a scrapper and fit it, so we'd only have a small area of paint to sort out. But it's going through insurance. C'est la vie. Gaz

That is an option of course, as why should she/we be financially disadvantaged. Mrs Gaz was going to get quotes and then go discuss it with him, but seems to have changed her mind. That's a very likely outcome (It'll also thwart her goal of getting my Golf for herself once and for all). G

Mrs Gaz's car had its fuel filler cap knocked off by another car while filling up at a fuel station. There's some minor paintwork damage as well. Our preferred repairer has indicated it'll cost £500 to £600 to repair. We haven't got an exact quote as they charge £35 to quote. Mrs Gaz is planning to do it through her car insurance. Mrs Gaz is on my insurance for both the V70 and Golf, so would I be right in thinking her incident, in her car, is going to affect my renewal premiums? If so, would I be better off simply paying for the repairs and not having an insurance claim made? Ta for any advice. Gaz

Looks a cracker 😎 I don’t see boring. I see hell yeah, my kinda car Gaz

Are we going to be introduced? 😁

I'd imagine the 140k you mention is based on a dry belt remaining dry, in normal conditions, and not unduly affected by other factors, such as a dousing in oil. Your belt has been contaminated. Like @seriesdriver I'd be having it changed if it were me. Not worth the risk IMO. Gaz
