More flurries here. Don't know what the temp was today but it was difficult to keep the hands working. Headlight level switch had stopped working on a Astra H. After replacing the missing fuse one burst into life. Thinking it was a duff motor I plugged in the good headlight into the not working side and still nothing. Hands were getting cold now as the bumper has to come off to get the lights out. Turns out somewhere in the loom 2 wires were open circuit so I chased the wires from the good to bad side and alls well. Hands bloody freezing by then.

Chinessium, you have been warned. Must be able to get a reliable make to fit. Having said that you might as well carry a pocket full at that price.

Has he flounced? I'll miss his humour. Insurance want an extra £80 this year. Wankers.

Bloody cold out there. Got a phone call yesterday from my bike insurance checking up on detail for the renewal. I told them I now have a garage to keep the bikes in, they now want a dated picture of it.

fuck sake!

Did some work with one of these last year. It had been bastardised with some sort of home made chassis/body kit with 2 front wheels. They'd tried to seal the poor welding on the tank with a kit but the stuff either never set properly or reacted with our new fuel and clogged up everything. Took a couple of fuel pumps and clean out attempts but got it running well in the end. Have fun.

ops.

That's a fair point. Cocoa beans have gone up in price so I'm not sure what it is I've been liking off my hobnobs.

How do you stay awake just sitting there.

Get six back quick

Have you been feeding her ice cream

When you say fluid change does that mean you'll be washing it again. Looks good , enjoy.

Cars normally raise the idle a little when the regen is happening, can't comment on a show blower. I'd bet that engine is fitted to other vehicles, could be worth finding out for info.

I'd watch just to see what all the fuss is about.

Well it won't be drawing air on the pressure side

I've never seen a blocked DPF upset the idle either. Thought you could remove to rule it out. Not tried the clear fuel pipes yet?

I just done a pack of Oreos

It'll spring some warning lights n fault codes but should run. Did the mechanic try a forced regen?

yeap

Take it off and run it, you'll soon know.

Can't see it from your pics but on a car you'd remove a pressure pipe or temp sensor which will be after the turbo at the front of the DPF.

May not have liked the content though.

I'll stick with my fried chicken, gravy n veg thanks.
