    Hahaha, mutant eye stalks.
    It's like when the Guadia stopped me the other week. "Do you know you have a brake light out?" "No Officer, because when i drive the car i do it from the front, mostly"

      But it was starting the van when it wouldn't flash an indicator right?

      • Yeah, that's what bothers me

        Need a new battery anyway, as the existing now won't hold a charge within one day, so ordered a 100ah 900cca bugger

          Make sure you've not got a current drain or the new battery will be ruined in a very short time

                  I remember when you used to ride bikes not watch them, we were much younger then.

                  Have fun!

                  • How was the isle of men?

                    When your indicators didn't work - did the hazards work?

                      I am guessing hard and fast?

                        • I spent a couple of evenings working on the sausage mobile.

                          Long story short - when you fit a diesel pump and slide the pulley on, dont push the woodruff key out of the shaft. Took me ages to find it and then I only found it by accident as the key was loose, rattling around behind the pulley. When I tried to loosen the three bolts to shift the timing, the key was stopping me getting on one bolt, only when I got my head in there with a torch did I spot it.

                          No - I didn't fit the pump originally, but I was called to diagnose why it wouldn't start or run.

                          The original fitter also didn't lock the pump up to re-time it, just put it back in what he thought was the same position on the belt - so at first inspection the pulley was about 15 degrees out, I reset it, but it still wouldn't start, but I managed to get it running on easy start, but it was still obvoiusly mis-timed. The pulley being randomly timed on the pump shaft obviously didn't help here.
