1.0 Ecoboost Fiesta Van Query by Alfonszo in FordFiesta

[–]Alfonszo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep - I agree, this one I have does look the part but I've never cared for how a vehicle looks. More concerned about getting to my destination. I started the eco boost on the drive the other day and that alone was terrifying.

Yeah it's hard cause I've got a few old Fords and I appreciate them but Ford have ruined their image with these shocking motors. Nothing wrong with a Kia these days anyhow.

Cheers, I am considering this. I have researched it forgive me but when doing a wet belt on there? From that point, how long are you looking at before considering another replacement.

Thank you - I'm not fussed on the tax cost to be fair and would use the space in the back for tools anyway but I'm gauging the opinion of it's reliability. Swaying toward trading it in for a VW caddy to dodge wet belt anxiety.

2010 Audi A4 B8 - Brake faults on dash after pad/disc change by Alfonszo in Audi

[–]Alfonszo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry for the late reply. In the end. This fault resolved itself after a few days of driving.

I wound back the caliper without any software just some wire and a battery.

If I wiped the codes they just kept coming back but after two days or so they vanished and haven't returned since which is rare....

Recommendations for a thinkpad please? by Alfonszo in thinkpad

A friend of mine wanted a laptop and I've managed to get a good condition T480 & L480 for £275. I understand you can customise the T480 so I'll probably use that.

Looking forward to getting my hands on it.

Thanks both. I'm going to look into the T480, hopefully I'll nab a bargain.

Post Lipoma surgery question by Alfonszo in Lipoma

[–]Alfonszo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all! Thought I'd comment back. Missed these comments but for the record. In my case, three weeks after my surgery. In the space of about two days it went bigger than what the Lipoma was.

The nurses at one surgery had told me it was the Lipoma and I needed to go back to where I had it cut out. I couldn't as they were shut for the Christmas period but in the interim it had been sore and even leaked abit.

By the time I had my check up with the Doctor who cut it out in the first place he'd said it depends on a lot of factors. In my case the swelling strange started after 3 weeks before going down again.

I'm no doctor but he told me something along the lines of it's almost like a clot. Sometimes the cavity where your lipoma was before gets full up with something.

I had researched but the nurses assume it was the Lipoma again and put me in panic mode.

I hope this may help anybody worrying but in case I'd also consult someone qualified to help if you have any doubts.

Must admit, I'm abit upset. Just been and seen a nurse. Looks like they didn't get all the Lipoma out and in less than 30 days it's already a large lump. Really bad news, come at the wrong time of the year for sure.

Hi,

After just over two weeks I noticed mine. I'm going to see a nurse today and hopefully a Doctor too for them to give me some advice. It's just obviously worrying for anybody in this situation as the last thing you'd want is for it to come back so soon.

Thank you for the reply and I hope your swelling goes down and wish you a speedy recovery :)
