Re: changing language

Things often go full circle. There has been a trend for many years to say 'for free'. There is no such thing as 'for free' . Something can be 'free' or 'free of charge', but not 'for free'. However, I saw an advert recently where something was offered as 'free'. The makers of the advert probably tho...

Re: Parking Sensors

Thanks folks.

We were hoping to not have to remove the rear bumper.

I think if it starts to fail every time; we will have to remove the bumper. :-(

Parking Sensors

...on my friend's Fabia are playing up. Sometimes it is OK, but sometimes he gets a continuous tone upon selecting reverse, and the graphic shows the car is too close to something when it is close to nothing. A google search says it is almost certainly a faulty sensor. Youtube shows people 'curing' ...

Re: solar panel

Thanks Phil.
My mate has got a camper van with 3 Leisure batteries connected together. Would one of these solar panels charge them all?

I know nothing about this sort of thing. :-?

solar panel

Is there a solar panel that can be propped in the window of a minor that will charge the battery on a car that is not in regular use?

Thanks.

Re: we have a problem

I am delighted that the technical posts are very busy Keith. For those of us that don't do facebook etc. this forum is vital.

It is just a shame that some off topic posts are met with sarcasm, ridicule and general rudeness, isn't it?

Who says I am back Les? :lol:

Re: we have a problem

I looked in today expecting there to have been a bit of a pile on in the last week. Strangely, there has not. I started this post expecting there to be a bit of interesting discussion. Instead, it conked out, and there have been no new 'off topic' posts. Parts of this forum seem to be dying out; whi...

That's a good one.

Nobody wants to talk about the loony subject, so let's leave it there.

I won't post on here again.

Re: we have a problem

There you are you see..17 posts and counting. Of course it is a serious post Les. I was excited in 1969 to think that there were men walking on the Moon. A lot has happened since then to make me think that it was fake. At the time I remember hippies handing out leaflets stating that the distance was...

Re: we have a problem

This forum is lacking a lot... Really? 'Promoting the preservation and use of the postwar Morris Minor' is the mission statement at the head of this board and, in my experience at least, it achieves those aims admirably. Or am I merely the victim of another conspiracy? I think this is an excellent ...

Not you as well Simon! I don't think the Clangers lived on the moon. (?) Let me expand, and see if anyone sensible wants to comment. Recently, several Countries have failed to land unmanned craft on the Moon; over 50 years after the USA claimed to have landed manned craft successfully more than once...

I used to like Bill and Ben. It comes as a shock to me that they were artificially created. Don't tell me the Woodentops were not real either. :-(
