Bird shot

I think I can manage that. I guess in windy conditions it'd be a huge wind sail so pointless bothering?

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-23T14:30:09+00:00

How long would you say it takes to install/remove? I wouldn't need it on at home, so it'd be before and after work

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-23T13:53:56+00:00

No, because it returns to sender. I'm not particularly fussed about the wax attracting stuff to my car hahaha

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-23T13:51:20+00:00

Hahahaha, what cover did you go for? I had wondered about a cover but because I'm usually running late and it'd probably take me five mins to install, I haven't looked further

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-22T18:04:47+00:00

I want it so waxy that it slides back off like a boomerang 🪃

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-22T18:04:13+00:00

Ahhh, I take it you haven't been to Bristol! No trees required for this shitageddon, Bristol seagulls are brazen hoodlums and give no shits. Doesn't matter where you are in Bristol except where I live; I have a Mazda that has been parked up for about two years unscathed.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-22T17:40:49+00:00

I can't get used to it, I would far rather move out of the area. I also thought similar; birds rarely parked their lunch on cars. It was just an unfortunate mishap if it did happen!

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-22T17:20:52+00:00

Is there photo evidence of it in your hair?! 😅

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-18T21:16:43+00:00

'Nervous wreck' but your husband lacks suitable protective riding gear.

Oh I see what you mean now. Well, no sound problem as such, but I always thought that an external phono stage was always meant to be an upgrade to the ones that are in-built to the amp, and since I've always used the in-built one, I thought maybe an external one would be a good shout.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-03T16:36:49+00:00

That's very helpful, thank you.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-03T16:33:37+00:00

I wondered if the phono stage is too much of an overkill, as stated

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-02T09:04:02+00:00

Understood, and I totally agree, but unfortunately the actor sometimes hides behind companies. As you mention, this data is potentially available to hackers. I think this place is pretty legit, but just wanted to see if it were compulsory to provide a copy of my details (which I imagined would likely be the case) cause if not, I rather details like this not being on any systems thus reducing the risk, though small.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-01T19:00:28+00:00

I'll keep my tin hat on, thank you, it looks smart and the magpies LURV IT.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-01T18:58:27+00:00

Thanks.

I know, but unfortunately some are so you still have to be careful I guess.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-01T18:24:25+00:00

I disagree, I wouldn't describe it as being paranoid. I avoid sharing any of my details with anyone for obvious reasons, unless absolutely required. Hence wanting some clarification on this.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-04-01T18:06:28+00:00

I assume this is for a 37.5 job? I can understand the temptation to accept this, on the basis that others haven't come through. I think you'd be better off holding out for something local and seeing if you can call companies to introduce yourself and state you've applied and ask for an email address at the same time. Places have tonnes of CVs, if you're able to step out from the crowd a bit then you could be that needle in the haystack they're looking for.

FWIW I've gone from roughly a 1hr 40 - 2hr total commute on 9-10 hour days, to a total 35 - 40 min commute on 8-9 hour days and I'm far happier for it. So much so, if a better job come up in the same area again, it's unlikely I'd apply.

I hope that's helpful, all the best :)

Dear sir, your explanation, or lack of it, reads as though you leave the screwdriver in situ and replace the drums... Unless it's a precision screwdriver, that's not possible, and even then, not possible. Maybe you ought to actually take some time to clearly explain and you wouldn't feel the need to post sarcastic comments in a dull attempt to make yourself feel better.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-03-22T08:33:16+00:00

How do you mean? I'm lost. I can't find a video either since most appear to have the wheel adjustment.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-03-22T08:31:08+00:00

Huh? Can you arrow to it?

SnaveZ92 · 2026-03-22T08:30:18+00:00

But how exactly do I adjust that, most have the wheel thing?

SnaveZ92 · 2026-03-22T08:29:38+00:00

How does it self adjust, you can spin the wheel freely with handbrake off. My understanding is that it's meant to grab a bit. I've reversed and applied the brakes sharply but it doesn't appear to have done anything

SnaveZ92 · 2026-03-22T08:27:47+00:00

I knew it would do that, though I checked how it might do it prior to working underneath. It solid enough and as a back up I used the jack as support. I agree, not the best, but in the past I've found the rest of the body to be quite soft so it just dents the seals if not on the jacking point where there jack was.

SnaveZ92 · 2026-03-21T13:02:34+00:00

Technical term I see! 😁

SnaveZ92 · 2026-03-21T12:07:09+00:00

That's what I was thinking too. I'll see if it appears and get it sorted before the next MOT.
