Mork calling Orson..,

Where is everyone ?

Nice title, fark knows, its like a dusty old street here tonight

Snow must have melted and the pub is giving away booze.

It cant be as them lot dont drink it must be work

T.V.s toss work maybe it mate.

How's your iphone anyway? seeing as they are all elusive pimpernels

sound mate need to have the sim connected tomorrow,Need to keep my old number as its my work number too.Just put 6 days worth of music on.

Good Man, i did the same with mine, i've 200 ish albums on it now and around 30 Apps, so its all good, you'll be amazed how good it is though, the best phone or gadget i've had and i've a few

Are you having a few beers and chilling?

Evening guys. ......Im here
Spent all evening making wiring loom for new alarm / remote start for the Nav.......What a headache, but nearly there. We should have a working system on the truck tomorrow if all goes as planned

So whats been happening, wot did i miss ??

Helloooooo, and good evening, you didn't miss much, check PM's and we need a wright up for the loom

I am not unwrapping all that to list about 100 wires .....
The alarm is complex and would not want anyone without a degree to try it...... Bet Dave would have a stab at it tho ....

You mean you did all that without logging your work oh well, it would have been great to see that on here

Can you imagine Dave at that

I will give a bit of a write up when im done, It should help some people in locating the wires that they would need to fit a similar type of system. Its quite a task as you have to tap into the Bcm, Can bus system and various other fuse boxes / relays in the Nav..... All good fun tho, Just wish it was a bit warmer

to you, its baltic out and you got on with it good man, i like your style

Me, well i've been adding to this again, as you do

I good thanks mate, been chilling for a few days, (hence not being around too much).

Need to get on with my clubs newsletter, but got very little input as yet, but did get a funny story about /then from one of the guys trying to defrost his truck, he started a fire under it, then yes you guess it , FIRE FIRE... and all he had was snow to put it out...

I take it you and the guys are all good

Ha ha, what a loon we are all good buddy, have you not read the mad posts, its been mental

I finally found a supplier for the missing part for my remote start in the USA, got the loom for less than $10 posted... so well happy now, it will get chance to preheat before cranking

Not you although i've seen that pic

The nutter who set his truck on fire

What picture have you seen

A true confession by a friend of mine..


during the cold snap, i was concerned that i had enough or any antifreeze in the water system of my mk. so i tried to start her to run her up and introduce some if needed. but when i turned her over even though the batteries were full,it sounded like the oil was treacle. not to worry, i remembered a story that my ex army college tutor had told me of how when he was serving in norway ,they used to defrost the bedfords prior to starting.
]thats it i thought confidently, ill do the same. no worries she will be purring along in no time.
so i set about filling a shallow tray with some diesel placed it under the sump on the floor and lit it.Brilliant wont be long now .
so i left it for a few minutes to do its job.
then once left i decided that it was probably time and warm enough to start. so i put a board over the flame and they went out,well the ones in the tray did,it was at that time i remembered that they joy of owning a bedford was a pleasure because the many oil leaks stopped the underneath rusting.
now due to my yard being compact i park the truck up against a fence on the nearside so getting to the flames which were roaring up the left side of the engine filling the cab with black putrid smoke was friggin impossible. so there i was standing on the deck behind the crane trying left handed, to throw snow balls through little gaps to where i could see the engine was on fire, was missing every time coz i throw like a 5 year old girl with a sheet over her head, with my left hand.this went on for some time,each throw getting closer snd closer to f**k all............. eventually i got lucky and a shot bounced off the rocker cover and fell on a flexy fuel pipe which was nice and ...burnt, and alight and melted onto the other flames putting them out.sheer relief! i got down and opened the cab door to let the smoke out.YES i was triumphant.against the flames.



So the moral of the story is. when you are given a gem of information by a older experienced mentor .before you follow their example and put that advice to the test,
always always check first that ...................................................................you are not a t*at.

ps. never add thinners to the diesel or the flames get really big and reach the engine.happy new year .
