Wear a beany that covers your ears, it cuts the wind noise and makes them bearable.

Thanks, I generally have some form of head covering, mainly to protect the top of my head from the weather and banging into things.

Broke my car the other day, well, it went wrong anyway. This morning I removed the DME (ECU) and sent it off to get fixed. Once he gets it, he will confirm whether it is that or not, but getting the mofset thingys is apparently worth doing anyway? Just hope it is that and nothing else. Funny thing is I don't use my car much, but I've really needed it since it broke!

Cleaned the bike, again... Going to MOT it tomorrow so may as well make sure it is clean after its major service on Friday.

Walked two of the dogs for 9 miles, older dog is now dozing on the sofa, I have blisters and the 18 month old is now tearing round the house winding up our 3rd dog and doesn’t appear to be at all tired.

That's a fun course because there isn't really any theory, just stuff to memorise like buoys, rules of the road, colregs, etc.v8-powered wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 2:42 pm Booked for me and the missus to take our RYA competent crew course.

If you're the sort of bloke that has his own boat big enough to do that, and the resources to get a body and a wood chipper onboard without anyone asking any questions, then you don't do your own dirty work

I did some meetings, went for a run for lunch, swam in the pool for ten mins to cool off, showered and carried on with work.

I broke my 330i several times and fixed it with a cable off ebay and some hooky software. The biggest problem I was was with the hydro pump, but I bodged that to get the lights off and sold the car.

Yep, I'm OK with the more techy stuff however my missus, despite being an accomplished sailor, has the attention span of a goldfish.Potter wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 12:22 pmThat's a fun course because there isn't really any theory, just stuff to memorise like buoys, rules of the road, colregs, etc.v8-powered wrote: ↑Mon Mar 22, 2021 2:42 pm Booked for me and the missus to take our RYA competent crew course.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Apparently very common and everyone said MOFSET or fried DME, normally due to water ingress. Fortunately everywhere is dry as a bone, so hopefully new MOFSETs will cure it? I like teh car, but don't love it and will probably out it in the summer anyway.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 12:50 pmWhats the error code?Taipan wrote: ↑Tue Mar 23, 2021 10:50 am Broke my car the other day, well, it went wrong anyway.

BMW models with MSD80 DME software may set the fault codes 30BA or 30BB. These fault codes set when fuel injectors on bank 1 or bank 2 develop circuit faults or an injector MOSFET driver fails.

I ordered a couple of strap pins for my Da's watch,when I received the jiffy bag I thought it was empty. Packaging overkill!

Re: What have you done today thread?
Now this got me thinking about packaging.
My wife's Superdrug order turned up today. Various shampoos and potions, in three small boxes. Seemed a bit silly when they'd all fit in one box, then I thought....
What if the carriers like more/smaller boxes than larger ones, because it allows them to make more efficent use of the van load area?
Or maybe Superdrug have run out of middle sized boxes.

There's a global cardboard shortage at the moment - everyone buying off the web and no imports getting through. A lot of our packaging comes from China apparently!

Had me AZ jab. I have to say, the whole operation was as slick as you like with no hold ups, no waiting and no fannying around at all. In and out in c. 5 mins.
