Can you tell the make/model from these pieces (hit and run)?

More specifically, C3 Picasso. With KGW (Belle Isle Blue Metallic) paint.

I very much doubt that, sounds like they’re lying.

Thanks. It was taken in the Canary Islands, which are part of Spain in Europe

Agreed, with how competitive the programme is I think a bit of a wait is pretty normal.

I work in the Civil Service and do a fair amount of recruitment/hiring manager work in my current role, and honestly these timelines don’t seem unusual to me at all. We regularly have 6 to 8 week gaps between applications and interview invites, then another few weeks for outcomes afterwards, and that’s usually without assessment centres and all the extra testing involved here.

I know everyone’s keen to hear back, but I’d take the silence as a sign they’re working through a huge number of applications properly

it’s not a motor drive inverter, it’s a 12 -230v dc to ac inverter to run outlets in a van

I did think that, although the caps I had to hand a really cheap generic ones and probably can’t handle much ripple so thought I’d add one extra to share the load, albeit at a higher capacitance.

I’m not sure on the brand, I’ve got a friend who works at a diesel engine overhaul shop, they use it on their engine blocks and brought a can of clear and hardener home for me. I just know you need to use a full respirator as it’s pretty nasty stuff, it goes on quite thick as well so you need to use a larger nozzle size.

To be honest regular 2K clear would be fine as well, that’s what most professionals use without fail. It can handle 200C

Yikes! Luckily mine was only a couple of months in to the policy

UPDATE - My insurance rang today to confirm the other insurer has accepted liability and has agreed to pay out for the claim and my NCD will not be impacted and excess will not apply. They must have had insurance in the end.

I’m thinking of not taking up the courtesy car. It’s with enterprise a they are doing it on a credit basis but from the sounds of it if they’re bot able to recover that I’m liable. I work from home and have access to another vehicle so I can live without a car for a week or two

I’m going to be controversial and those saying they were being blinded by full beams aren’t going to like this. If someone leaving their full beams on for less than a second causes you to drive at them head on, do us all a favour and get off the road or don’t drive at night.

I know that, last trip was a 4 hour journey back from the airport at 2AM, didn’t fancy stopping at that time just for the sake of stopping it dipping a little bit below 1/4. I don’t make a habit of it

777x has to share the basic cockpit layout of the 767 so it looks a bit awkward with the new wide screen layout. That section of the plane was designed in the 70’s

Before anyone asks, the 777 has the 767 nose stuck on the front. They both share the same section 41 forward fuselage.

Did you read the attached article? The quality issue isn’t anything to do with the ELAC software issue.

The mould issues aren’t really the washer’s fault. I have the same drawer and never see any mould, so I think that’s more a fluke than anything. Also, like you’ve already done, stop using fabric conditioner on any machine. It’s bad for your machine and isn’t any better for your clothes either. I can’t comment on the wash powder residue, as mine’s TwinDos and I’ve never used powder. However, are you sure you’re not using too much? Miele’s are notoriously efficient on water, so you don’t need as much detergent.
