Stoney871 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Looking more like I may have somehow cooked the motherboard slots somehow. Swapped primary slots back to the original 2x4gb modules and left 2x8gb modules in secondary slots but the system is still only showing 16gb useable. System seems stable though, just a pain installing drivers and software again. Gonna take forever. :( 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Why not trade in your current steam powered model . . . & purchase a modern one more befitting of your status & considerable wealth Clive . . . :P 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMX Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I've mislaid my camera's mini USB cable just as I need to transfer some photos :( Why not trade in your current steam powered model . . . & purchase a modern one more befitting of your status & considerable wealth Clive . . . :P If Clive's relatively new rig is steam powered: that makes most of my 9 PCs - neolithic :P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incontro Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Things I don't like (in fact HATE): When your insurer refuses to cover you on such a trivial modification - changing sidelight bulbs to LED. How ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incontro Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 Called them back, and argued my case. Seems there was some misunderstanding - I told them that the bulbs are fully road legal, and do not exceed the original manufacturer power specification (5W). They said as long as these two conditions are met, it should be fine. Win. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanW Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 O/S dipped beam bulb blown I have a spare somewhere in the boot...except a. The spare isn't a Nightbreaker b.

Along wipers failing, or in one of my most memorable wiper fail incidens, the nearside wiper flying off it's arm, on the M40, in freezing fog, at 1am, on Sunday. :o The nearest 24 hour service station, at the time and era (1990) being Chievely! Improvising with sock cabled tied over the arm; mainly to protect the windscreen from scratching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A large tea of chicken and broccoli stew with herb dumplings, a few local bottled ales, and forgetting to turn the heating off, was the recipe for falling asleep in the armchair.

Improvising with sock cabled tied over the arm; mainly to protect the windscreen from scratching. Good thinking! Our Fiesta had a couple of "bye bye wiper" instances where it just flew off. Fortunately at low speed meaning we could turn the wipers off and retrieve the blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
