Eh? He's happy you didn't have to pay as much as you (or I) thought, why be sad?

Not in GB. Umm, my symtoms were the car not knowing which way to pull so make sure it is the bearings (rather than siezing ball joint, knackered rack, knackered pump...)

Can't you leave it another 8 days 'til it's a little more appropriate?

Beer. You need you car (I guess you'll be busy now too)

In that case, have a nice salad with some tastey boiled new potatoes, watch a little telly and head off for an early night

Crikey 'o riley, sorry to hear that supa! I'm glad you've got it fixed, hope sorting the steering isn't anything major!
Your tea sounds pretty damned good!

Steamed golden syrup sponge pudding and custard for afters

I see the diet's going well

I can't bluddy get shallots here, looks like I'm going to have to get someone to smuggle some.

you are probably quite correct saying that supa ,i dont suppose
sausage and pig pudding baps are particularly healthy either but yum yum

pig pudding supa , its shaped like a sausage and made from pigs blood

or black pudding.

Black pudding or (less often) blood pudding is a British English term for sausage made by cooking blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.

yes we call it pig pudding here , yum yum

We had them for lunch yesterday, they were fantastic. It's pig killin' time again and it seems like there's so many krvavica (pig blood sausage) about this year people don't know what to do with them

And next it'll be češnjovke (garlic sausage) time, oh yeah!

Squeal piggy!!

Hi Supa
I'm sorry to say this under the circumstances BUT, the main cause of spring failure is without exception the shocker in the strut has gone - strange it has not been picked up by MOT though.

Oh - I'd forgot that 406s have a reputation for the upper bearing failure that causes the spring to wind up and release with a clonk so that's another strong possibility - coil springs are designed for compressive forces not twisting force of that strength. Unless there is a fault most coil springs will last the life of the car.
