Well I'm actually in Old Windsor near Runnymede. I say Windsor as people have generally heard of the place (or should of anyway!).
Runnymede was where Magna Carta was signed by King John, in 1215... :wink:

Re: What/where for new discs?

I replaced my rear discs last week (and shoes/pads) - whole lot cost £55.00 (free p+p) from Ebay. Job done.

Re: (another) ABS Fault

I have my MOT booked for Friday morning, and was wondering, since I cannot sort out my abs problem if I were to take the ABS bulb out of the dash, would I get a pass?

Re: What Is Your Favourite Drink

I gave up going out on the lash every week when my first child was born. I drank at home but then when I hit 30 the bloody hangovers seemed to get worse with less drink, each year. So now, I rarely drink.

Re: A couple of questions....

The button could be cruise on/off - not sure what year your car is so I don't know which dash layout to look at.

Re: Fuel Prices are a Joke

fuel prices are a bleeding joke, when i passed my test in 2008 the prices had just made themselves all lovely, at 80p a litre for petrol i didnt even care about the amount of fuel my fiat used, now though its bleeding expensive, the peugeot is thankfully more economical than my previous cars but it...

A couple of questions....

Please feel free to move this topic to wherever it's most appropriate, but... What is the button for (near the immob. keypad) that looks like a volume thing? and, upon changing the reverse lights today, I noticed in the boot is a kind of key lock - any ideas what it is? My Pug key doesn't fit it...

Re: Odd noise from rear brakes?

Hold on, this is on the rear so it's part of the hub :shock: I thought they were all one bit but obviously not. There's a guy on ebay sells the reluctor rings but changing it will need you have the hub off, which will or will not damage* the bearings in it :( * depending who you ask - Haynes says y...
