    Our kids got one of these Fire stick things, he tells me it's no good for me because I don't have a PC? i don't really miss the TV. But the boxing, cricket and the odd football match.

    To be fair mate I don't give a feck anymore, I'll behave how I'm asked to for the time being, after that... If you get down here dive in, there will always be food and beer.

    What should we believe, Mark?

    I read 'Inside Times' the other week, it's a newspaper written and edited by prisoners, if what was written is true the two prisons on the isle of sheppy are the reason Kent went into tier three. Make of that what you will.

    Ah! It sounds like where I live, the bus comes by on market day. Are you sure you haven't got your waist size and age mixed up?

    Do you get a free bus pass at your age living in France?

    With quality belt, water pump, and tensioner about £600 inc 4 hours labour. The question gets asked on Motorhome, campervan forums more than, "how much is my very valuable Walnut tree worth?" on Arbtalk.

    There speaks the voice of experience, I had a MS on my narrowboat, I cut logs to 10". Roughy.

    Big shed, is that a 'RSJ' under the length of it?

    Freezing fog for the last couple of days, I've drained the yard down for now. I should start a blog about living in a box.
  11. eggsarascal
    Jeez, the answer should have been no then,

    Anyone got any funny jokes?

    If he still needs a locksmith nearly 4 years after the event he's in trouble.

    You could well be right Ken, I've just put the reg in the gov website and it comes back as a 2.4. The MOT definitely says it's a 2.2 though.

    I like that, makes perfect sense now you've said it. I've got access to a mates diagnostics if I need it, a lot of the DB11 readers don't seem to like the MK6/MK7 crossovers for some reason?
  16. eggsarascal
    Yes, we know it's excess fuel/lack of air but why straight after the MOT? We can blank the EGR for around a fiver, that will be the first try. Ratty suggested the DPF but I'm not sure the early MK7's had one, I'll give it a look. I'm still of the mind revving the knackers off it for the emissions test started this, well, I'm hoping so for his sake.
  17. eggsarascal
    Will do.
  18. eggsarascal
    This is definitely a 2.2 and has a chain rather than belt, I spoke with @Ratman earlier he's given me a few things to look at, but us being us we will try blanking the EGR first and see if it stops smoking after an Italian tune-up.

    This was my thought, the truck doesn't go far and my mate is a plodder. Also, due to Covid it got a 6 month extension for the MOT, so not been tested for 18 months. I just thought it would have cleared over a 3-4 mile journey home, but I'm no mechanic.

    A mate of mines got a 56 plate 2.2 Transit tipper, after PASSING its MOT/emissions test he was driving it the 3-4 miles home from the garage when it started smoking, black smoke, a lot of it. Coincidence, or something to do with the emissions test?

    Plasterer says to the boy, "I bet you can't lift that bag of plaster over your head", the boy lifts it over his head and the plasters mate nips in from behind and slashes the bag with a Stanley knife, one boy covered in plaster.
  22. eggsarascal
    Seen some classics on sites over the years, The lads had told the boy that the pull start was knackered on the disc cutter and the only way was to bump start it. The boy was running with the disc on the ground trying to get it to start.
  23. eggsarascal
    Don't say I didn't offer.
  24. eggsarascal
    1: yes. 2: yes. 3: No, (if it all comes out in the wash I'm happy).

    Speak to your accountant before you do anything, that's why you pay them.
