Leakeyvale Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 ... Why do cars go on the blink when garages are closed for Christmas > Tell me about it. AA man tested my battery (and the car too for a power drain) and told me the battery had failed. It was taking a partial charge and then dropping it, New battery on a bank holiday? Fortunately for me he had a suitable replacement in his van so I was mobile again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 tell me about it Bill... I've got one van not charging now and another one in 'limp mode' on the EMS :'( Oh not so good Mark but I am happy now since I have just had a call from Audi saying my car is ready. It was a replacement Exhaust valve regulator or something like that that they replaced and is covered by warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ferguson Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 How strange.... I've just arrived back from my mates garage... he kindly opened it up for me to plug in his fault finder thingy.... result... two fault codes... crankshaft sensor and EGR valve sensor... Not changed either as yet... reset system and we'll run up to test Glad you are up and running again Bill... I think these EGR sensors take a bit of a pounding by all accounts.... perhaps a part that will always be more prone to failure for that very reason \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 take it back to vauxhall sue sounds like the regulator in the alternator make them put a new one on and battery your car isn't that old It was definitely the battery - he checked everything else. I shall be going to the dealer though as the battery is covered under warranty. I have the bill and the test result printouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our promo posters go up this Sunday for them along with Mother's Day gifts too, i'm glad i've spent the last couple of days on a de-cluttering mission!

LET'S HEAR THE MACHINES........ Yes I know what you mean I did find a clip of a leyland 2100 on full song mowing and foraging without music on you tube. she sounded real sweet until the guy plugged the forager solid then it wasn't so clever. I like to listen to the tractor pullers as well It brings back many memories of pulls back in the U.K. If you want to hear something real sweet search Zetor race and find the clip of the 12045 type tractor pulling the loaded trailer in the up hill race .

Leakeyvale Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I have lost a complete folder of holiday photographs and am devastated. I may have deleted them but when I do not know as they are not in any of my backups so must have gone missing in 2005/6. Makes me feel quite sad :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 Sue, I feel for you. I absolutely love my photographs from my travels, I cannot imagine losing just one of them let alone an entirety. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the pictures of Stu - he hated having his photo taken and I got quite a few nice ones on that holiday. My only consolation is that I sent hard copies to friends who came with us on that trip. I just hope they still have them! Ce la Vie!

robbo Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Sue if you still have your old computer then you can remove the hard drive and buy a device to connect it to your new one, I did that and saved all my old photos to a folder on the new one. However, I now back up all my photos to a CD on a regular basis just in case the new one suffers a catastrophe ;) \ \ \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used the old drives... ...for BACKUPS! Oh dearie me I haven't checked those! Only the CD's Can't do that now must go to the recycling centre and dispose of two dead printers and sundry other electrical bits. NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION.

Only problem would be if it had written over the top of them more than 10 times..good old DOS, never actually deletes anything True, but it is the very devil - I once deleted the contents of my C drive but realised what I had done and spent about 8 hours getting it back, replacing "?" with the appropriate letter for every single file. Still not sure which computer though, I think I have had 2 desktops and a new laptop in the interim. No use crying over spilt milk or lost files - it is my own fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
