What bemused you today?

[bones615]

Luckily the ECU/MAF is repairable (not by Mercedes I hasten to add, who will only sell you a new one)

Be very wary of cheap airflow meters, replaced mine recently and was given 2 options £50 or £100. The guy in the shop told me to buy the cheap one only if i was selling in the next fortnight! I read up on the net and he was being honest. The car (diesel) was extremely slow & sluggish, pulled the plug off the MAF and it came back to life proving this was the problem, It was sluggish all the time though not intermittent.

Ah the joy of Mercedes - you can't just change the MAF on mine, you have to change the ECU with it, as it is built in and inaccessible without it being fully dismantled. I'm not buying a MAF, but having the original unit rebuilt.

The same warning you have given applies to oxygen sensors too

The Met office confirmed that February was the second dullest on record.

...and the forecast for the next 5 days in this neck of the woods shows no glimmer of sun either! What's going on? Yet we have bluebells flowering in the garden!
I think it's the coalition that's to blame!

[krennon]

And we've got daffs round where we are...sure the forecast this morning though said there would be a chance of sun showing through later....at least for the South of London/Surrey/Hants...shall wait and see though, will only take a slight wind change and we won't get anything at all.

Watch this film.

Thanks for Oldboy, wonderful.
In those days it would seem to be that the business to be in was Hats, nobody in the whole sequence was without a hat that I could spot!

[krennon]

It was superb, love the way everything just mingled together and although there were a couple of close calls nobody got hit..amazingly....
Is that what it was really like back then OB & Abers?...

It's cloudy, with sunny breaks and very windy here. It's on the freeze mark and forecast to get colder throughout the day with a drop to -8 by afternoon. I can't expect to seen flowers for another 2 months.

Pretty much so, although if I remember correctly there were a good few penny-fathings on the street! I always got the little wheel at the back caught in the tram tracks. No bikes of any description in this film.

          Apart from the one 17 seconds in, overtaking the tram, no lights, no helmet!
          I think it's safe to say Alan, with observation like that, you would'nt last 5 seconds on a bike on todays roads!
          Lovely bit of film, organised chaos and no road rage.

Quite right Graham, I hung up my clips ages ago, and I couldn't wear a bunch of bananas on my head for love nor money!

          I know what you mean about the helmet thing.
          Iv'e been cycling to work for 15 years now and never had an accident (Seen hundreds ). A couple of weeks ago I got the feeling that my luck could'nt hold out much longer and I now wear a helmet.
          It's a bit like when we were told we had to wear seat belts by law. I would'nt think of riding without a helmet now, just as I would'nt drive without a seat belt.
