Re: and today i have mostly been...

Oh yes. I'm trying to take a camera on my nightly forages (cat location & collection) but of course the only time I got a clear view I didn't have it on me. Dark brown/black with a white bib, it was relaxing on top of the wood and didn't seem to bothered by me shining a torch at it. I went for my ca...

Re: and today i have mostly been...

Oh! I saw they were making a comeback in Scotland but I didn't know about the grey squirrel thing. It says here https://www.britishredsquirrel.org/grey-squirrels/pine-martin/ they coexist with red squirrels and seem to suggest it's because they've evolved together. However the greys didn't and are c...

Re: and today i have mostly been...

It's the same family, that's a european pine marten. They're omnivores but I think it's playing rather than eating the rhubarb (without custard? :shock: ) I often see one or two when I'm collecting cats at night, I can see their eyes in the torch beam peering at me and I don't realise they're not ca...

Re: Semi mux to full mix conversion

Nope. None of it affected the powertrain. inculcate :shock: You have to keep telling the car it has them over and over and eventually it'll believe you :supafrisk: Umm, I'm guessing these weren't options on a semi-mux if your exec doesn't have them, so it would probably be next to impossible to indo...

Re: Semi mux to full mix conversion

Remove radiator cap, install full-mux car, replace radiator cap :supafrisk: There would be so much to replace you'd be better off getting a donor car, putting your interior in that and binning yours. I hear auto door locks are great for wearing locks out, they go one at a time so you won't know unti...

Re: Rear brakes upgrades?

The standard calipers are fitted all the way to the V6, I don't think anyone's messed with them really, they're good at rusting the disk so they're probably underused by most people. Obviously we've never got into what else will fit, the need just hasn't arisen. Yep, the handbrakes are crap. If they...

Re: and today i have mostly been...

You're probably more relaxed now, it's like you've been carrying a heavy load for years but now you've chucked it the relief is mind blowing. Good attitude too, someone once said to me don't keep looking back and kicking yourself, you did your best with what seemed right at the time. I tend to avoid...

I'm hoping for something stress-free really. Yes, great to hear from you Welters :cheesy: Sorry about the oh my cron. I didn't know that about back pain, I hope it passes soon.

Re: How to retrieve PIN?

Ah, I see. Umm, it's probably best to have more than 1 key :shock: But then you'll have to sod about with the transponder chip :roll:
