[Figaro]

dynamite ?

or get Smiffys special tool on the job if he aint worn it out yet

 

[Dutch 68]

Not taken the wheels off yet. When I discovered the dodgy wheel the priority became finding a replacement. I'll take my wheels off tomorrow. Check the discs , calipers ,pads etc and order up whatever parts I need . I'll get the tyres from my wheels transferred on to the replacement wheels the day after

Looking better and better, I hope your good fortunes continue when you turn your attention to the red light

Yep tried everything that's why i thought I'd ask incase there was some secret method.. I've even said open sesame just incase lol

Have you googled it

 

[funflair]

Having just spent an extremely frustrating 24 hours fitting a replacement door seal on a Candy washing machine I think you will find the magic phrase is.....

Tap very gently with a small hammer 3 times and say very quietly.....

Well it worked for me anyway

Yes I'm sure he did .

No sure how he did it though.

I'm also having trouble getting the fairy lights around the cupboards in bedroom and 2 spots to work .. switches do nothing and I can't find fuses for them anywhere. And I saw the fairy lights working when I first viewed the van

But I'm buggered if I can get them to work now

Assuming you have tried switching them on, (the switch takes half a second or so to register) the manual will tell you where the fuse is possibly hiding in the corner of a cupboard as somewhere.

The bit with the screw through it must be screwed to the recess first then light body clips over it.
Can you get a fine screwdriver or blade between the end cap and the plate?
If there’s enough hidden in the wooden surround you could trim away some of the end cap?

Yeah tried pressing and holding fir ages ...have the Same switches for front ones which work no problem.

I've had all the cupboard bases out , searched everywhere for a fuse but can only find the fuse for the under cupboard light in the bedroom , can't find any others .

Just smiffy has looked too and he can't find them either.

For those concerned about my arms is they’ve been aching a lot lately because of all the getting under vans and climbing scaffolds recently…

And the only fisting I’m going to do is to the dogs for chewing my garden and bench to bits….

But I’m always there to give Tam a hand when he needs one…

Just the one now though!

 

[Flairy]

Tomorrow I’ll get my Flair manual and see if I can find your switches and fuses for the bedroom because it seems to cover the later model to mine .slso the iveco Mercedes Fiat all the models I’ve even got the broucher for all of the,I look tomorrow

It seems you have the book for mine and I have the book for yours as mine seems to be up to 2002 models and mostly fiat based .

 

[Northernraider]

OK I've sorted the doglight ....technically I broke it first but I found out how it comes apart although there's no way you could do that without pulling it out the hole first. The front panel prises off . Of course once you have it off its easy to refit the light then put the front panel back on. But to remove it you need to break it again. But I've fitted the led bulb so shouldn't need to touch it again for a while


The other lights remain a mystery .

As you said in a post earlier this evening you have been very fortunate finding fridge etc down here just when you needed them. But six weeks!!! I had not realised you’d been doing it for 6 weeks. Seems like two - but then you’re not living with me and 4 dogs.

Are they getting their walks? No mention of them only seen them asleep on sofa. Drugged them!

Blu not been nibbling at anything on the Doc. Still no idea why you called it that. I prefer Moby2

Reg number ends in DDL…Doctor Doolittle…

 

[corconx]

It definitely needed more than Doolittle!!

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

I have to lay across both front seats and use a mirror and a torch, just to see it, then blindly fumble about until I reach it.

Ah yes, remember that position with fond memories when in our courting days with Mrs Yoghurtpot
Such fun, especially in a MG Midget.

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

This is why Lenny HB is so quiet , I know his better half was finding the new van a bit cramped but didn’t think a new one would be forthcoming at this speed, see attached View attachment 947504arial drone shot from his new toy

It's Thunderbird 2!

just nipping out for my £6 takeaway hot chocolate from my favourite cofffee shop in Montpellier Cheltenham

How ' flippin' much!!!
Mind you, paid £9.40 on Monday for small fish, chips, large peas and a sausage from the local chip oil so I can't comment .

 

[Captain Yoghurtpot]

But where does one introduce the tool to pry it apart?

Now THATS a leading question! But I wasn't thinking of this particular endeavour but more of my youthful endeavours in the MG Midget.

You didn't give it a rub though did you!

I think Blu is enjoying trashing Smiffy's garden at present.

Still no idea why you called it that. I prefer Moby2

I thought it was also because it had done little for a long time. Poor thing is gonna get a nasty shock to it's system once Tam starts travelling in it ... it'll be dreaming of going back to it's nice safe barn for a few more years.

 

[Mikey RV]

By the time Tam pays Smiffy for all the damage to his garden and all his time Doc will have cost as much as a new one.

 

[Flairy]

I’m just starting to look the manual like the bible!

You lie, even when I was younger it was NO FUN in a MG Midget (are we allowed to call them that these days?) far more luxurious in the back of a Morris Minor Van!
