Looked under when home and o/s/r appears to be missing the wheel cylinder, which would explain the shoes and brake springs in the boot

"You've got to love honest sellers."
Not 100% the seller did it. He's a mate at a garage who fixes things (cheap), £10 to re-gass the air con allegedly.
When we got to the sellers house he was out shopping in it, and turned back up with wife, sister in law and his kiddie (less than 12 months old, and in a proper baby seat). Would you seriously knowingly drive something with that fault ?.

Re: What did you do today?
Got up early this morning and for some reason decided to try and improve the Cowley's appearance for a short while. I've obviously spent too much time watching hot rod uploads on YouTube. Broke out the Boiled Linseed Oil....
Of course, it won't stay shiny for long but I'm not sure I want it to.

Not many of the younger Albanians know who Norman is. At least none of those I spoke to when I toured there in 2018.Eddie Honda wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 6:06 pmWACIST!NorfolkNWeigh wrote: ↑Fri Sep 10, 2021 5:35 pm Think I’ll ask where they’re from before I give em my address, WCPGW?
just ask if they are Norman Wisdom fans.
They are more likely to know who Romesh Ranganathan is, since he appeared on a few chat shows there. He is a bit of a cult figure there. That's "cult".

Used to be, but the lazy sod running the thread hasn't been bothering lately.

Re: What did you do today?
Fitted a new Electronic Load Detector to the fusebox in my CRV. The fault light went out straight away. Stayed out so I was thinking that's that done and dusted. Is it bollocks. Went to collect Mrs Tetley from a girls night out and the poxy light came on again. Alternator messing about then. Thing is, it doesn't make a blind bit of difference to the car. The lights are no brighter as you'd expect from over charging, no problems at all really.
Anyone got a decent CRV alternator for sale?
