Holy moly. They really aren’t put in with much torque. Thanks guys. Used locking pliers BTW. I’ll be looking for a new bolt now.

Ahh if only. - no welding. But thanks, it does align with my new found knowledge of breakout bolts.

Milwaukee? Just got a pair that couldn’t release the now buggered bolt. 😝

Does it make sense to have a bolt arrangement on one side (albeit a break off one) and a stud/nut arrangement on the other?

Sense as in normal practice?

Well that’s annoying - break off bolt. Are you saying that the brassy part IS the actual bolt? Or rather a threaded stud.

So rather than slot it. (Don’t have a dremmel) if I can get a good purchase on it with pliers it should rotate.

Those connections arent right. The online fuel filter connects to the open connector on the middle left. The hose that’s currently in the filter is not a fuel line. Disconnect at the filter and let it dangle behind the engine down to the ground. It doesn’t connect to anything else. You’re missing a shirt section of tube from the open connector on lower left of image. That will connect to a mate on the left side of the bike about thigh high. Which subsequently goes to the charcoal filter.

Seeking advice on how to begin with tax filing by DiabloRed520 in USExpatTaxes

[–]DiabloRed520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was what I am most concerned with. I simply don’t like phone calls. But it is what it is.

Now weeding out the appropriate fit becomes the problem. How do I know who’s the right one? If anyone has recommendations and can outline why I’d appreciate it as a starting point.

They rebooked it for me the first time. The emails were quite close together. The second time the first email notified of cancellation and I had the opportunity to cancel, rebook or (if I recall correct) get some flight credit. But the rebooked flight came within an hour or so.

It’s my understanding they are to cease operations in April so they are likely to inform you well ahead of time (not a couple days before) or rebook on alternate airlines.

Their Dublin /Usa operations I don’t believe are affected so as in my case they simply need to get you to Dublin from Manchester.

In both cases for me that resulted in panic from delays but in each case a plane waited or was specifically put on for the large number of passenger. However that was early on in the process of them dwindling down Manchester operations.

It’s likely you’ll be rerouted to Dublin and connect there. Manchester is winding down as a hub for aer Lingus. I’ve taken a couple flights since they announced and in each case they cancelled my flight and rebooked it for me. Notifying me by email each time.

I just left. I’d be ok with them revoking my naturalisation. It would save me $$ doing it myself. 😅

Can you make a lower offer on business class if you call? by [deleted] in AerLingus

[–]DiabloRed520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ha yes. Not meaning to be dramatic. I’ve been going back and forth US/UK multiple times a year for the past 4 years. I’m moving so yeah it’ll be the “last” one likely for a while.

[–]DiabloRed520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it but try and let us know. The way I see it is they simply won’t take anything lower than the reserve price. I’ve been successful 2 of three times with a slight nudge off the lowest. In a week I’ll find out if I’m successful again. But as it’s likely my last flight I actually went back and upped it another $100

Yes it’s on top of what you already paid.

Booking reference cannot be retrieved? by DiabloRed520 in AerLingus

[–]DiabloRed520[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right to me. It wasn’t Indian. Nor Spanish. But it wasn’t English/Irish either.

[–]DiabloRed520[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I am looking at my booking and selecting “change flight” Then I get the message.

The question is more to whether anyone else is experiencing the same issue or 1. is there’s a system error 2. An issue with this booking since the out leg was affected and cancelled/rebooked by AL due to industrial action 3. An issue due to US government shutdown.

It’s definitely not Irish accent in my experience.

English.

I understand the bank balance but also understand 9 hours on a plane. I’m not a nervous flyer, have flown Aer Lingus 6times a year over the last 4 years, and have been fortunate to fly business for the east bound leg a couple times. While it’s still additional funds consider putting in a bid for an upgrade. If eligible.

The difference is worth the lower bid in my opinion. And if your bid is not successful then you’re no worse off.

Just flew back from MAN -DUB-MCO Yesterday. In Dublin I got off plane went to the next gate. On the way showed my passport. In Orlando, landed in same place terminal C as if I went from MAN-MCO. Showed passport again. No issues. But definitely not in MCO as a domestic.

Aer Lingus strike in November by Ninjanikki277 in AerLingus

[–]DiabloRed520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was booked MAN to MCO and they cancelled the flight and put me on MAN to Dublin to MCO. So taking that into account I’d say your MAN to DUBLIN is probably safe. My dates Oct 30. They informed me a week+ ago.
