If you can spell "economy" it brings up all sorts of stuff using search :lol: Looks like a flat battery is favourite, so see what happens after a charge.

What happened was I was lazy and used your spelling (text is a bit small from 10 feet away so I didn't spot it) and wondered why the only result I got was your post :oops:

spelling dosent matter does it,

im a dyslexic %$&? so icarnt help it,


oh and have you seen this, :arrowd: :P


I cdnoult blveiee taht i cluod aulacity uesdnatnrd waht i was rdgnieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervisy, it deosn’t mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.

The reset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lterter by istelf, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig eh? And I awlyas tohghut slpeling was imporantt…! And for thsoe of you wtih mroe tmie tahn ohrets, you wlli ntocie taht not olny are msot of the wrosd a mses but smoe of tehm are cpmlpoetley msiseplt awslel…!

**************************************************************** ***********************

I couldn’t believe that I could actually understand what I was reading. The phenominal power of the human mind, according to research at Cambridge University, it doesn’t matter what order the letters in a word are, the only important thing is that the first and last letter be in the right place.

The rest can be a total mess and you can still read it without a problem. This is because the human mind does not read every letter by itself, but the word as a whole. Amazing, eh? And I always thought spelling was important! And for those of you with more time on your hands than others, you will notice that not only are most of the words a mess but some of them are completely misspelt as well!

I have actually. I couldn't figure ohrets out without reading the translation.

I don't really mind, so long as people at least try. What I do find hard is paragraphs written in txt spk containing no punctuation whatsoever. That really gets on my ttis.

I can relate to that - I've no trouble spelling, but I've got numeric dyslexia, just copy a series of numbers and sometimes swap a few of them around, (as waue noticed when I made him 9 years younger). :oops:

First noticed it at school, around 1696

Anyways, did you get it started?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
