What's made you grumpy today?

1st proper driving about of the Fiesta :)

Starter has packed up :bang: :mad:

A Fiat wouldn't do that ;)


your right the starter would stick in and catch fire on a fiat ;-)

least on a Fiesta they are at the front of the engine not tucked up at the back like a fiat ((or at least they used to be at the front)) get someone to turn the key and smack it with a hammer at the same time if its sticking and your stranded (y)
 
Annoyed of being taken advantage of (n) and annoyed at myself for not pulling my thumb out and sorting out some up to date professional qualifications for myself and allowing my career to go stagnant.
 
I managed to live in a house with two female housemates, awesome times :slayer:


I would be fine living with female housemates, the issue is my housemates are a couple and another guy...

I enjoy living with them all but it can be a real pain at times

Still housemates (just the couple though)
:mad:

I've given up with them.

If this was just every so often it would be ok, but non stop for 3 weeks... and every now and then before this... grrr

Funny you mentioned fire, in the early days working on Bravos, I'd connected up the engine earth to the starter, which had grease on... Plug in the battery and FLASH! Huge flame!!! Ahhhh :bang:

That same car went on fire twice after that :devil:

Yep they're still on the front :) but no space! :mad: And it was seized in place!!! :mad::mad::mad:

I did have to bump start it when it left me stranded, I hate doing it, my poor catalyst :cry:
 
I've got no get up and go today :( I want to get lots of stuff done but I really just can't be bothered.

Had a weird night of dreams that's left me feeling like I haven't been to sleep and somehow whilst doing nothing physical for the last few days I've pulled my chest muscles which hurts like a biatch. :confused:

needless to say its written the van off it would need a new loom, Fuse/relay box new coolant bottle new brake fluid bottle and headlamp........
 
How did the fire start?

My grump: Housemates again. (the couple - again...)
Talking about me behind my back... if they have an issue with me why not talk to me about it?:confused:
 
How did the fire start?


All i know is that it was an electrical fault probably on the ignition side as the van had just been driven from its parking space to the Fuel tanks to be filled up then turned off and was been filled up with Drev prior to the fire been noticed, Its destroyed the fuse and relay box so cant tell what caused it exactly...

Thats a very informative link (y)

Holy moly! I myself wouldn't call it a write off but looks like an awful mess if one wanted to put right...

I've been looking for my extinguisher for ages :(
 
How old is it?

I got it in 2009, kept it in my old car after the fore mentioned fires :rolleyes: I've misplaced it since then... :(

We had a disaster with my old escort in august, it went up in flames for no reason :eek: used the first extinguisher we grabbed, no time to look. Was from 1996 and it still worked (y)

I know what you mean though, its full effectiveness was gone by that stage...




Now onto my grump. My mam arrives in the door and said its snowing. I look outside and shout "F*CK!!!"

Blizzard:bang::bang::bang::bang:

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I tried talking to them about this a few times. they just walk out, Like i know what the issue is:confused:
