Re: Garage power cable

I had some similar work done last year. When the electrician came round to do the quote and it was agreed he left me two reels of cable and a couple of weeks for me to run it through to the shed and garage. He just connected up to the consumer units at each end and charged for the cable saving a few...

Re: Vauxhall Zafira won't run after oil change

Don't these modern ECU managed cars need a good blast on the open road to get the computer and sensors etc. all set back up? Although I thought that was after a power reset.

Yes, along with the use of "you know" many times during interviews. Either I already or know or I would like you to get on with what you are saying so that we both know. :roll: Also, what about the use of "look" to start an answer to a question? I'm not looking, I'm listening, ge...

There is a "Report Item" link to the right of the Description and Postage & Payments tabs.

Re: Garages

Sorry but if you can get the car in then you don't have enough junk/spares. The "crab like shuffle" should be a good early warning system. :D
