Thanks all for the messages (even the sarcasm from Wes! ), just home now after spending 6 hours in hospital... Extended throughout the afternoon due to them thinking I might have damaged my kidneys somehow. Thankfully a CT scan proved negative and although they wanted to keep me in overnight for observation, that wasn't happening!! What I need is a cup of tea and my own bed.6 points

Section 47 of the Road Traffic Act (1988) applies. It is not illegal to have a vehicle without a current MoT parked on a public highway however it is illegal to drive it unless going directly to a pre-booked MoT. Sent from my SM-G930F4 points

What's happening to the car now? I hope they're recovering it and leaving it outside your neighbours for the insurance assessor....3 points

I'm now starting the 10th week of my diet and Tuesday is my weekly measurement and stats day. Last week, I've lost another 0.5% of body fat and gained 0.2% muscle mass, my girth is 12mm less again, I seem to have settled into losing 12mm a week at the moment. This is third week it's been 12mm! If he goes to a toddler group, you could work out some complicated mathematical formulae that contained "Plus" and the answer was in fact "8" and use it to confound all the other parents and staff, with your "maths genius son"3 points

Don't forget to factor in the other option, if you win the Euromillions tonight its then- 0 Days Notice! Fat chance of that though with the new odds so back to 1 weeks notice!3 points

I'd say it was a week's notice, as the three months probationary period isn't up. The month's notice comes into force, only after the three months of probationary has ended, which it clearly hasn't after nine weeks2 points

Not sure if anyone has posted about next years Ford Fair yet but the date has been announced as Sunday 6th August. Looks like ticket prices have gone up a bit £23 for clubs and £33 including camping. Public tickets are £25 Link here http://www.fordfair.co.uk/fordfairhome1 point

Looks like your trackings out a bit as well Seriously though, glad you're OK. As said before, cars can be replaced, bodies can't. Ice can lie on roads for a while after temps have risen above freezing. Patches that don't get the sun etc Even worse if the road hasn't been gritted or if it has the salt hasn't had time, or the traffic, to clear it. Learn by your mistakes and move on. Any driver who tells you they haven't had a self-inflicted brown-trouser moment is lying1 point

Ha, yes that would be good! It isn't even worth going through insurance to be honest, I'll see if a local scrap yard can collect it and perhaps give me £50 or something, like they did with the Fiesta (not the old Ghia, but the newer silver model that I planned on fixing up but never did). I could probably get £300 from the insurance, but then would have to pay £500+ more next year for having a claim, just not worth it.1 point

That website helps a lot! I've managed to find it now. Just gotta get a new sensor from Euros tomorrow and hopefully that will fix it :D Thanks again for your help Sam1 point

The additions to the car look great bud, I am a sucker for carbon bits and when I had my Fiesta I also got some carbon wing mirror caps! In terms of ideas for the engine bay, you could invest in a new screw kit which brightens up those lacking stock screws-sounds a small thing to change but really does make a difference, would probably go with a red set! On top of this you can also invest in an engine bay dress up conduit kit, these are about £12 on ebay and just go over the top of the original wiring in the engine bay and again can have custom colours. I did both mods on my Fiesta project page which is linked on this forum, you could head over and check it out. Made quite a few mods to mine, so you may even gather some more ideas or inspiration!1 point

It should be ok, obviously it cant break up like a DMF. They can still get high spots or scoring depending how bad the clutch has got but you wont know until it's off though. They can be skimmed easy enough rather than replacing if it does need it. Personally I've never changed an SMF when changing a clutch, even at 270k miles.1 point

I have a feeling I've read somewhere on this forum that the relays are soldered into the passenger fuse board on this model and therefore not easily replaceable.1 point

Thanks Peter, still haven't got the injector loom in the post to try as a replacement.1 point

14.1 clearly says it. In a probationary period less than one month no notice. More than one month 1 weeks notice. That is the only bit that affects you. Are you still under probation? yes. Have you worked more than one month? Yes Answer: one week notice. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk1 point

Welcome :-) Sounds like it just needs some Lemsip if it's spluttering a bit. On a more serious note, although I am no mechanic - does it have a DPF? Could be clogged or down to the EGR valve being clogged up? I would be happy for someone with actual mechanical experience to come along and say I'm wrong or offer better advice, but hope the above is a start to helping you sort it :-)1 point

There is also a possibility to get android head unit that has ford fascia. https://www.carjoying.com/new-android-car-radio/quad-core-ford-android-car-radio.html In xda forums people are talking that those new 2GB intel cpu Chinese android units are quite OK (not without their flaws). Good thing would be that something like that looks factory but you have the full android/gps hands free stuff. Switching to oval fascia is easy in case you want the updated look. Here in focus guides section is a guide from local inmate of how to switch from mk2 stereo to mk2,5 stereo. He has needed parts listed there.1 point

@Stoney871 Thank you for the reply, I've only pressed it till the chime, ill give it a longer hold in the morning, really hoping it will do the trick. if not it looks like I'm going to be looking for an Auto Locksmiths...1 point

Agree with everyone, that's a weeks notice. If Vauxhall garages stipulated all staff had to drive a Vauxhall: every garage would largely devoid of staff apart the odd misguided Corsa owning apprentice. When Brandy and I walk besides the river, alongside the Wimborne Vauxhall dealership, judging by the staff parking area, BMW, Ford and VW are the chosen staff brands.1 point

There never was a yellow light to indicate headlights on this model. The green symbol you see covers both sidelights and headlights in Ford's incredible wisdom. Also the lights on the dash are all LED.1 point

Your right. It is one week notice. Also unless you need their reference or something you can just bounce Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk1 point

Just get it booked in that's all. Even if they do call you have proof that it's booked. Sent from my HTC 10 using Tapatalk1 point

Because I know it will likely need £200-300 of work and didn't have that money on my last pay cheque, thanks to all the bills I have to pay because my mother yet again jeapordised the house-hold finances by leaving her job. So yes, doing it a few weeks ago was the original intention, but selfish people seem to have a habit of being selfish and leaving everybody else to take up the slack.1 point

Looks good! I need to get my Focus cleaned up like that, but never seem to find the time!!1 point

I have been searching online and there is no straight forward answer with lots of assumptions. You can drive a car to an MOT centre with no MOT even drive to get issues fixed if it fails and back to the centre. So do not see why you cannot park it and just have the appointment confirmed.

I thought the emergency assist was purely to enable your location to be transmitted to the emergency services in the event of an accident. I don't think it stores any information. Although I'm probably mistaken😜1 point

Having revised my short list again, and again after "test driving" a few saws at a local tool shop yesterday I went with Makita in the end, but not the LS0815FL I had originally short listed; but it's bigger brother the LS1018L (which has replaced the very popular LS1013) http://www.makitauk.com/products/saws/mitre-saws/slide-compound-mitre-saw/ls1018l-260mm-mitre-saw.html. It was only £65 more than LS0815FL But had a much better build quality feel about it, obviously a greater capacity with a 260mm blade and is double mitre saw. Which makes life easier1 point

As they get older the presents get smaller but far more expensive. Then there's the other costs like helping them with the first car and in my daughters case I still pay for her vocal lessons (she's a singer). This year she wanted a load of recording gear so she could record her own music videos. That's everything from a Studio Mike to a quality camera. I hope it starts to pay back one day soon.1 point
