Was reverse, push away from you as far as possible, double clutch and down?

Pull stick out of dashboard towards you with a twist to the right for first, twist left for second, third was twist to central and pull again for third and fourth with a twist?
Reverse haven`t a clue
Wasn`t the dashboard that was a Renault 5, gearshift was a 4ft long stick coming out of the floor near the bulkhead?

See Leclerc was told to back off Vettel so same old story there I`m afraid. Noted Coulthard said towards the end of the ch4 programme that he turned down a drive with Ferrari because the contract said he would be a clear No.2 driver.

Sadly, Channel 4 only have one live race this year. That, at least, is the Silverstone GP. I would have much preferred the Monaco though even though there is little or no overtaking. I like that street course.
Heard talk of the London street circuit race being looked at again. Can`t see it ever happening myself.

I've just got back from Brundall for the weekend and wanted to take the boat out yesterday but thought better of it like other members it was gusting pretty strong across the river!
It finally died down around 5pm after the hailstones came down that is.

If not, meet you in a sports bar Polly
I much prefer C4 coverage.
You two got room for a skinny one to join you in this bar?

'My' plumber is out of sorts lately So I may be needing someone that I can recommend to my clients but he MUST be reliable. Is he local to Donny?

That`s funny because jon has been off work for a few weeks after putting his back out, your man isn`t called jon by any chance?
I`ll have to ask exactly where he lives tbh.

The prv is the safety valve so water passing through it tells you you have a problem and did you recharge the pressure vessel when the system was cold?
If you continue to have problems I know of a plumber who lists his location as "Gods own county"

Erm, you said pressure loss and leaking water from pipe outside earlier so I fail to see what you fixed.

Agree Williams are a sorry state at the moment but with the recent departure of Paddy Lowe there are now no technical directors within the team where there should be three of them which says a lot.
Go to the BBC sport web page and look at what an areo design guy has to say, if he is right then Ferrari are going to struggle this year. I for one would like 2019 to be the one where Bottas is repaid for help Lewis so much last year as I fear he will be looking for a new drive next year.

No doubt the world has become a noisier place now Andrew! Now and then I like to "unplug" and enjoy the silence.

A combi does away with tanks in lofts. Spend a little time on St. Google researching your Baxi tonight as it may save you time tomorrow. Downside of pressurised systems is that only trained people are allowed to work on them and sorry but that is the law.

Thanks people, reading this I don`t feel as old as I did earlier

Thanks you lot.
Our Baxi combi Boiler is progressively going on the blink
That's you lot tempting fate is that
It went t1ts up over the Christmas period, fault code said low gas pressure - No it wasn't. After some research it was one of two sensors, I removed them both cleaned them up and all has been fine since - Till recently. I now find myself having to pop up our loft every morning and once again early evening to bring the falling pressure back up. Either the expansion tank has failed or it's a non-return valve playing up. I suspect it's the expansion tank. I will fault find this coming Saturday then get the relevant part ordered.
I could do without this I can tell you

Check the prv isn`t letting bye, if it`s been activated recently sometimes they don`t reseat properly. Plastic bag tied over the pipe will show up a leak.

Same with any pumped system, you can`t get out more than you put in so agree it is down to pre install pressure & flow tests from which the boiler is choosen to suit.

Thankfully I read a few old posts on different threads before posting anything or else I might of fallen into that mindset.

Must be the coffee & bacon rolls that you give him everytime lol. I`m good, prompt and reliable to customers however I do add a % mark up on parts if I supply them, this is because any part supplied by me comes with my guarantee and the quality being what it is nowadays I have to factor in return visits and you can`t expect the customer to pay twice can you?
