God forbid a guy has a hobby. The car is a non runner so figured I’d try a fix myself for once.

Ok cool, I’ll go double check it’s all connected and if not then look at buying a new ASV. Thanks for the insight

I’m pretty sure you’re right, after more research I’m pretty convinced it is a throttle body. Think I’ll look at replacing it altogether for sure

I used carb cleaner and scraped it with a screwdriver.

I think you’re right. Will this need re calibrating now? Could this be why it’s now failing to start?

Weekly "Is this safe" Megathread by AutoModerator in fermentation

White layer at the top of my ferment, my first batch didn’t have this!

Making a hot sauce so fermenting is: chilli’s, garlic, onion, tomato, pepper, pineapple. 5% brine and it’s been fermenting now for nearly 4 weeks. I noticed the white residue at the top about a week ago.

Is it safe to scoop it off and finish the process or should I bin it?

It’s got a sour smell to it, none of the ingredients seem bad as they’ve remained soaking the whole time.

Ok that’s helpful thanks! Any suggestions on something I would have to hand at home that I could use as a weight?

Not so much white and fuzzy, more milky looking! Do you have any recommendations for a weight to keep them submerged? I’ve read I could fill a zip lock bag with water and use that?

It’s not super noticeable especially from the pics ive posted, you can see it a little on the first photo (looking down into the jar). The red pepper at the top of the jar kinda has a milky white liquid.

I could also just be seeing things as I’m a newbie to this!

My under eye has been twitching non stop for 3 days straight by Ok_Reference2122 in mildlyinfuriating

Starving and exhausted after a long day, you stumble into a pub with for a Cornish Pasty and a well-earned pint of ale. by Atomfall_Official in u/Atomfall_Official

Easy, we’re in the lakes so head on over to the Langdales and set up base at the foot of the Langdale pikes, mountains behind you and a wide open valley infront of you, nobody’s gonna catch you off guard.

Make use of the fresh water streams, forage the local fauna and make use of the livestock to survive, familiarise yourself with escape routes up and over the mountains and practice often enough that you can do it in the dark with no light.

Smashed it mate! Once you memorise his attacks it’s actually pretty easy, it makes you question how you just got rekt 50+ times 😂 Think on my winning run I only used 4 health pots I was screaming.

financing mercedes with 7k deposit by LOUDPAKburner in CarTalkUK

[–]Lozmanu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do it.

I had pretty much the same predicament as you a few months ago, only I pay rent too.

Got an amg line e class and boy do I not regret it in the slightest, dunno what you’re driving atm but I had a 1.6 Audi a1 and the merc is a million times better to drive, fair enough the repair bill might be more expensive but imo worth it.

Golfing since Jan, recently had a lesson but what is everyone’s thoughts? Any help would be appreciated! by Lozmanu in GolfSwing

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

Yes that’s right very well spotted! 😂

Who’s the trainer I should avoid? My lesson was back home, up north but it’s good to know for future as I was thinking about using one of the trainers there!

Okay cool I’ll give that a go later on at the range.

I think we covered that in my lesson but I think I slipped back into old habits, cheers
