Glad you got it sorted ,forgot that the alternator had that springy tension type set up rather than being able to just swivell it to remove belt .

All done :)

Yes all of them ,even more so as i have just come back from euro disney :shutit: people who say swings and roundabouts when you complain about a job taking to long etc ,its about time i had a :tsktsk: ing roundabout

thats the dogs danglies,is it realy that powerfull or is it a trick?

shame you aint nearer you could borrow some of mine ,they dont get used much anymore ,having a lexus has made them redundent

yeah it is the abs unit but you will be able to work around that

just take off the dizzy cap and then the air intake pipe from the air box that will free up some room .you must have hands like shovels

are you sure you are looking at the alternator and not the air-con unit .sorry if that sounds a bit silly but the alternator is on the left as you look at the engine bay just under the distribitor and has quite a bit of room around it

only problem i can see is most children make thier friends at school and teaching them at home would alienate them a little unless you do lots of afterschool atcivities clubs etc.

No mine was fine ,all i lost was the radio settings .i believe this resets the ecu? but that will not do any harm

just to add to this two weeks ago i started my car drove 30 miles then stopped for petrol ,when i tried to restart it was dead ,this turned out to be the battery not the alternator and i had no lights on the dash at all beforehand ,so me thinks you are right in thinking alternator.Good price :)

from what i can remember it is quite straight forward ,just undo top bolt and loosen bottom ones and alternator should swivel to allow you to take of belt then take out the ones at bottom completly .undo the two connectors first ,i think one has a bolt connector and the other is a plug .dont forget to disconnect battery before you start,good luck .how much for a new alternator out of curiousity

would have thought this a problem with the dash rather than the actual items that are shown to be at fault ,might clear itself up .if not would think something silly like a relay etc

Thanks for asking it was the nuts ,hotel was a1 got upgraded into some special part of the hotel ,room had a balcony that overlooked the park ,even had your own card for the lift so no one else could access that part of the hotel,then the lift took you straight into the park .as for disney itself cant wait to go back the kids had the time of their lives breakfast with micky etc.aerosmith roller coaster was the highlight for me the acelaration was damm quick . i can not fault it apart from the mini bar in the room £3 for a packet of smarties was a bit steep.french people are very polite and the only oik i see spit in 4 days was british ,why do we stand out like a sore thumb on holiday could it be the tracksuit and the stinky trainers and the big gob going all the time (rant over) .left hotel to come home at 5.30 pm and was back indoors at 8.15 ,them trains are damm fast 180mph so i was told.

yep i agree it is pants .

Leaving Children at Home Alone What the law says There is no law that states the minimum age that a child can be left alone. However, it is an offence to leave a child alone when doing so puts him or her at risk. How do you decide if you can safely leave a child alone? There are many important things to consider before you decide to leave a child alone. These include: The age of the child. The child's level of maturity and understanding. The place where child will be left. How long the child will be left alone, and how often. Whether or not there are any other children in the household. For example, most parents would think it’s OK to leave a sixteen-year-old alone for the evening, but to leave them for a week would be unacceptable. Many young children play outdoors with other children without a parent or carer being present. As they are unsupervised, they are 'alone', but most people would agree that this is an important part of growing up. You are the best judge of your child’s level of maturity and responsibility. A few other points to guide you Never leave a baby or very young child alone at home, whether asleep or awake, even for a few minutes. It doesn’t take long for unsupervised young children or babies to injure themselves. Most children under thirteen should not be left for more than a short period. No child under sixteen should be left overnight. If you do leave a child alone, remember: If possible, leave a telephone number where you can be contacted, and be available to answer it immediately. Talk to your child about keeping safe at home and point out the potential dangers. Tell them not to answer the door to strangers. Give clear instructions about what to do if there’s an emergency. All children left alone should be able to phone the emergency services. Leave a list of trusted people they can contact. Put obvious dangers out of reach of children, e.g. medicines, chemicals, matches, etc... Make sure that the child is happy about the arrangements and confident about being left. Tell the child when you’ll be back, and make sure you’re back on time. Talk to him or her about it afterwards. Choosing a babysitter When deciding to use a babysitter remember to: Follow your instincts - if in doubt don't use them. Ask for at least two references and contact the referees yourself. Choose a babysitter over sixteen years old. Listen to your child. Talk to your child about any issue of babysitting that they are unhappy about. If your child is unhappy about your use of a particular babysitter, find someone else. Only use registered childminders. A list of local registered childminders can be found from your local authority children's information service.

stink

yep pretty sure its 14 to be left at home alone ,not sure on the age limit for babysitting though

claire my mk1 has just had its 70,000 mile service and it was the rear diff oil,gearbox oil and of course the engine oil ,also all the brakes were stripped down and cleaned etc.all that for £220 what a rip off.

i used this polish (nxt) last week and have to say it realy is good .i have tried most polish out there and this beats all the ones i have tried .£15 a bottle is a bit steep though

Me to ,they are a wicked car but then i think audi ,bm and vw all make good cars ,i think anyone who thinks they dont should drive an RS4 or a 3 series M3 evo ,you would soon change your mind they are well built and have the performance to match .

Seen these for sale on ebay a few times ,log on to the american site.the inserts just pop out

i did today , ................................ on the end of my boot

The owner of the car would be the person who bought it .ie the person with his or her name on the reciept,as pete states the name on the log book means nowt apart from being the registered keeper. as for building up your ncb etc when younger ,the lad thats works for me is struggling the insure a 1.2 clio for less than £2500,the cheapest quote has been for £2450 ,and he lives in an ok postcode etc .impossible for someone of that age to pay out that sort of dough.especialy on what i am paying him :D
