I have computer with Windows 10. Back in the day I could plug my memory card in to the computer and options would come up as to where the pics were to go. Then when clicked on an option the pics would open and I could send them to "My Pictures". Now when I plug in my card nothing happens apart...

Back in 2015 I posted re rebuilding my air con system. Still going strong with still good pressure. I forgot to post a problem I found at that time. Where the pies join there is an o ring which makes the seal. The joint is held together with a bolt which forces two flat surfaces of each joint...

I hear stories of car insurance premiums going down but today "Hastings" renewal for my Golf has increased from £350 to £353. I've never made a claim. What is the flavour of the situation?

Started to hear a mechanical clatter from front of engine a few years ago. Now much worse in cold weather. Started engine today to investigate and it sounded like the noise was coming fro the AC pump or inside timing cover. I noticed that there was play in the loose run of the ac belt. Jerky...

I see new car sales are very down. eg VW have closed 2 factories. What the hell is going on? Are people frightened of buying ICE cars and are they put off by the complexity and cost of repairing those ICE available? I see Ford and Toyota Landcruisers in USA are in big trouble with unreliable...

"Iconic" Auctioneers have just auctioned, today, a restored 70 VX for hammer £19,000 at NEC. Buyers commission at 12.5 % on top. LOT 115 and plenty of pictures there.

I notice the air bag ECU has capacitors. I guess other ECUs have capacitors. How long will they last?

Fed up with getting covered with coolant every time I drain it so fitted a drain tap in the bottom hose. I had some thick walled brass tube in stock so cut it to length and then swaged the ends, drilled a hole to take a tap I had. Quick oxy acetylene and silver solder to make a sound job. Just a...

Ordered an ECU from Gary for my air bag light fault yesterday and it came today. Plugged it in, cleared code and dreaded light went out.

Russian 1. "We lost more land today" Russian 2. "Oblast".

Any clues. Ruining my holiday.

I have located a hose on the RHS of the engine low down at the front and going in to the block. I cannot see how the hose is attached to the block. I assume some sort of metal tube similar to the LHS heater pipe take off. Cannot see it in any parts diagram. Any help appreciated.

Any views on these? BLUE RADIATOR/HEATER HOSE FOR Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80 Turbo 4.2L 1990-1997 | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

This is what happened to me when I did not disconnect/flush the heater matrixes on changing fluids. Fortunately its just in the expansion tank for some weird reason. Its crumbly plastic stuff. I wondered why I had flat main hoses in the mornings. It had blocked the contraction valve in the rad...

What temperature does the water run at in the block, being the hottest part of the system ? I am wondering if, in UK, we need a pressurised system for Sunday driving, or perhaps could fit a rad cap with a lower opening pressure? This would take pressure off 30 year old hoses. I've been toying...

I fitted "OAT" antifreeze from Halfords years ago. Due for a change but when I look online Halfords warn me this type may not be suitable for my engine ? I can't see what they recommend for my engine. Thoughts welcome.

Been paranoid after ByronJ lost his cooling water (and engine). I've been thinking of what happens in the cooling system and how to fix a low pressure warning light. When the water is subject to heat from the engine it expands and reaches a pressure equal to the pressure spring in the rad cap...

Last month the Russian army was second best in the world. This month it is second best in Russia.

Putin wrote the air accident report a week before it happened.

Chasing cruise control intermittent fault. Have removed, stripped, cleaned, refitted and adjusted pedal switches. All perfect there but CC still works intermittently. Anybody know where the CC control box is please?

Can anybody recommend a pressure washer that will last for 50 hours use. I.E. 5 hours constant use for 10 times.

Does the quality of the picture depend on the age of the player? I have a 30 year old player and am thinking of buying a new player to improve the picture quality. Thanks.

With Talk Talk email at the moment. The older half of my inbox has disappeared today. In fact my inbox only goes back 3 months. There were old emails in inbox going back to 2019 which I wanted. My sent emails go right back to the beginning in June 2019 when I first had this computer. I guess...

Not like the old days when people had a proper education and respect for others. I have been with Sky since 1993. In a telephone query to them I changed my package. I then got an email with a lot of mistakes in it. I wrote to Sky head office and received a phone call re my letter (I hate that)...

Another one missing.

Anybody know of a front dash cam with rear running wirelessly (without cable).

Just been watching "car wizard" on U. $50 head gasket took $4000 labour. Back int day I had a self built 2 door Range Rover. I decided to throw the engine fan away and install an electric one activated by switch on dashboard. You guessed. Going to work I came across a stuck artic' trying to get...

I have a friend coming over to take the sump off his 12 valve 80. How much of a job is it with engine sump being 10/10? I shall be advising with no physical input. Thanks

Re the Wimbledon crash, I've just had a look on Google earth at it's location and the lanes around. On seeing the TV pictures something in my waters told me this was caused by computer failure on the LR. Google earth picture seems to confirm this. Pure speculation I know but looking at...

I have installed 2 x EZVIZ C8C WIFI cameras. They have micro SD cards in them supposed to record when someone comes within range of the sensors. The cards can be viewed on mobile phone through the EZVIZ app. Sometimes they do not record when I walk test the system . Sensitivity is OK though as...

Explains LR engine failures and loves Toyota engines.

I had trouble getting my computer to WIFI connect to my router due to rambling nature of our house. Eventually achieved 5 Mbs. I taped a 4 inch long stiff copper wire to each computer aerial and now get up to 40 Mbs. Just a tip if anyone has similar problem.

I am restoring a French clock made in about 1835. Picture of face enclosed. Normally the retailers name/address is on the face and I have a list of all of them but I cannot trace this one. I've tried translating but nothing happens. Is it a phrase? What is "MLE" ? Looks like an abbreviation. Any...

Amazing.

Welcome. I think I speak for most members on here. It's nice to have a new post from somebody with a problem and usually the forum can help, sometimes not. It would be nice to have feedback when a problem is solved especially when we did not know the answer. I can think of a few puzzles where no...

What a wonderful change today. The "local" news turned out to be London news although I live near Birmingham. How considerate to change the menu. Very interesting to see problems on the Underground and a London weather forecast. The other day we had London news taking up half the slot suddenly...

Massive new rocket is taking off for the moon on Monday. It's 100 metres tall. About the same size as Saturn 5 rocket of the 60's which had the same energy as 2.5 million tons of TNT. The computers used had about the same power as a very early mobile phone with low battery. I used to watch these...

Remember that hub cover you sent me? Well I painted it but failed. I put up with a poor finish for some time but bit the bullet yesterday and covered it with paint striper. What a nightmare. Managed to get all the paint off then attempted to respray. Failure again. Found a faulty needle...

I've listed a massive old radio. This model goes for £500-£800. I advertised as "collection only" and "UK bidders only". I'm getting bids from South Korea and China. Anybody had similar experience?

Is there somewhere trusty online that I can check if my email address has been hacked and whether or not my personal data has been breached by a company I deal with? I'm just doing a bit of preventative maintenance if you like. don't want to go straight online, I might get robbed lol.

Poor Ukraine. looks like they have 2 choices:- 1. Be turned to rubble and be ruled by Russia. 2. Surrender with everything intact and be ruled by Russia. I think I would choose 2.

If it was a party it was illegal. If it was work they should not have been using a drug (alcohol). Most people get the sack for drinking at work. Even my GP did. Down with Johnson.

What a prat. Lied to us about leaving EU, lied to us over Dominic Cummins, upset the French over, at least the submarine deal, didn't spot loopholes and lies regarding cladding buildings in flammable material, lied to us about Christmas parties under his own roof and let hundreds of our friends...

We have had fibre into premises installed so there is no copper from here to my exchange and probably to the server too. Great. Then we were forced to have phone over fibre as well. We have 4 house extensions and an overhead 120 metre cable to garage. They supplied a mobile phone to connect to...

This rock was known as "eat more fruit" in 1970 I assume as that was what was written on it at that time. You could clearly see it from the road leading down to the Portway where it looked vertical. Anyway I decided to take a look in my series 1 SWB Landrover. In those days you could get...

What's the rarest sight you'll see at Christmas this year? Turkey boiled in diesel I reckon.

My Dad was workshop foreman and lorry driver for United Dairies back in the 20's. He told me their tyres were not bought but rented from Dunlop. Every tyre had a serial number and Dunlop gave my Dad a ledger which he had to keep up to date including monthly records of mileage, tread depth and...

What a disgraceful way to treat our Italian guests. What comes around goes around. We lost.
