    Check Auto Gearbox

    1. "Check auto gearbox". Anyone had this appear on the dash. Started the car, midday on Thursday, and there was a slight delay from pressing start, to it actually turning over. Then it showed "check auto gearbox" on the trip display. Turned the car off and on again, and it all seems fine. Got it...

    Christmas Dinner 2017

    Hoping to make this year's one. Depending on dates and location obviously. :-)

    Driving on the 'right' side of the road.

    Managed not to do it in France, but drove along the supermarket car park the day after I got back to the UK, on the right hand side of the road. Until I saw someone coming towards me!

    POTM - July 2017

    Well, after consulting the "Rules of POTM", and after much deliberation, I've decided to go with a picture that my wife took. This was taken while we were on our mini "Tour De France" in the Clio. It's also got the added bonus of a French 197 in the shot too! IMG_7888E by Lewis Flintham, on Flickr

    POTM - July 2017

    I'm not sure how everyone else is getting on with this one, but I'm torn (again!) between two pics. I'll hopefully be able to decide soon and get one uploaded.

    Screech when reversing

    This is likely to be a long shot, but has anyone else had this? When reversing, normally in to a space, or parallel parking, I sometimes get a loud Screech, squeal, creak kind of noise from somewhere under the bonnet. Now, this is probably going to be a pain to diagnose, as it's intermittent...

    POTM - Your other ideas - Just for fun

    Thanks Chris. There's a few bits of dust on there. You don't really notice them when you're in the car. It's when I'm scrutinising my "close up" pics lol. I even re-took the "steering wheel rs" one, cos I saw some dust, and there's still some. Needed a little brush to clean it I think.

    POTM - Your other ideas - Just for fun

    Lol. Thanks, nice of you to say so. Nahh though lol, I love to see everyone else's ideas too :-) I just find it hard to pick which one is best. I thought the one that I went for was colourful, so it would hopefully stand out. I love the potm of the month comps. Great excuse to get the camera...

    POTM - Your other ideas - Just for fun

    I'm not sure if you lot are the same as me, but each month that I enter, I'm never sure which one to post! Just wanted to share my other ideas for the "Close-Up" theme for June's POTM. What were everyone else's "possibilities"? Thanks. Some I like more than others. The...

    Wheel bolts

    Not sure where to get some from, but make sure you buy "branded" ones (like it looks like you're planning on doing), as someone lost a wheel on track at CSOC Weekender due to cheapo bolts.

    Updating your R-link

    It's weird, my traffic subscription still works, and it's a '14 plate.

    Updating your R-link

    It works fine when you do the first update, as you have a "new" install of the toolbox. But, after that, you need to re-install it to get it to update. You use the r-link store to find out if you're up to date, then a "new" install of the toolbox, to update it. It's so stupid, the r-link...

    Updating your R-link

    After having to reset the factory settings on my r-link, I had to update it again to the current software. The way it works is ridiculous. You have to log on to the r-link store and check for updates. If you just put your card in, the r-link toolbox will tell you that your card is up to date...

    Wrist watch check...

    It's funny that this thread has appeared, I've just this week put new batteries in two of my old watches. Bought some new straps for them earlier this month while I was away. They've been up in the loft for the past 12 years, so I thought I'd get them out. They're nothing fancy, just two...

    POTM - JUNE 2017

    Finally managed to get a photo sorted again for POTM. I'm disappointed I missed the last two months. Here's my effort for this one then:
