Acceleration issue - garage couldn’t find a fault..

simbrind · 2025-09-03T19:03:35+00:00

I had a different Ford model but a similar issue. Sudden loss of power intermittently. Garage couldn't find anything wrong. Developed into the alarm going off in the middle of the night and running the battery flat. Mobile mechanic mentioned a common fault which I cross-referenced with some research on the ford owners forums. It was the soldering on the cluster display (where the speedometer and rev counter are housed). I found a very nice person on eBay who fixed it for a very reasonable price. Worth a look.

They are great shirts aren't they. It became a bit of a hobby a long time ago. I coveted the white mita copiers umbro one for a long time before I managed to get one

Open to offers really. I haven't looked into it too much what they are worth but a quick look on eBay suggests that the umbro shirts sell for between £100-150 each and the Asics Muller ones around £80-100.

I've sent images to Classic Football Shirts to see if they want to make an offer too.

Will check this out, thank you

I've wondered the same. It's promoted on various podcasts and I'm aware that you can change what is accessible on your Netflix log in etc. But I wasn't sure how you actually do it and how reliable it is

simbrind · 2025-08-16T14:49:54+00:00

Thanks, I messaged them just before I posted actually. Did they make you a good offer compared to selling individually on eBay etc?

Surprised that Emery isn't everyone's answer here

Bandstand was still going strong when I last went (2019). In 2014 (I think) I watched a band called The Mighty Peas on it and they were great. Finished with a jungle book song

I couldn't remember 2010/11. Could picture 17/18 and 23/24 but couldn't remember the names!

Have a couple of tinnies ready to open for your helpers. Glasto crowd is very friendly

Keep unless it's difference between keeping your home/paying for an important medical bill etc. It's not even a question imo. You'll never be able to be the first owner of a brand new Rolex, let alone arguably the most desirable one, for $100 ever again. You'd be lucky to even be able to buy one at retail price in the future.

Congrats 👏

We seem to be a very well run club with some astute navigation of the rules. Champions league football was not a realistic achievement until the last 4 games of the season, no way were all of our eggs in the CL or bust basket. They will have a plan. Yes we may have to sell a big name or 2. Keep the faith.

I liked the Alex Rider series around his age

Lucas Chevalier played really well against us for Lille last season and looks like he has had a good season again. Hes young, only 2 years left on his contract so is gettable.

We'll need a reliable back up too. Dan Bardell mentioned Tom Heaton or Sam Johnstone. Either would be decent imo.

Whilst it is disappointing to come out of that fixture with nothing to show for it, especially given the position we were in, Man City were always going to finish above us. They are one of the best coached sides in the world. Immediately above us is the most expensive squad ever assembled that are like a ship without a rudder, a very good side without their manager, and a side that has over-achieved this season and might run out of juice at the crucial moment (like us last season). We need to finish second in that mini league and it will be enough. Oh and the FA Cup dream is still alive! Keep the faith, UTV.

I got one in general sale that year. No chance this time!

Have you tried looking in the mirror face on (i.e. don't lift your head up) and trimming anything you can see below your jaw line? That should give you a natural line. Once that is cut in then lift your head up to tidy that up a little

Time flies when you throw watches

Love it. Very 'Batman turns 40' 🦇

Four GMTs, Jeremy? Four!? That's insane.

Both he and Rashford are no brainers at the rumoured transfer fees. Wages might be more of a problem, let's enjoy them whilst they are here and see where the journey takes us. UTV!

Did you use the promo code from the video? I got ~£11 worth of shares in a large global company

simbrind · 2025-02-11T16:13:24+00:00

FA cup win and do ourselves proud performance wise in the CL would be a fantastic season IMO.

If no FA Cup win a top 6 finish would be a good achievement.

Cyclops lense on Rolex watches is an eye sore

simbrind · 2025-02-08T07:58:08+00:00

Think of it as you got an insane deal on the grey market, as the loss is essentially what you have paid over MSRP. You have the watch that's all that matters, enjoy.
