My usual computer is out of action so I'm using a spare, which is rather short of images, including my original avatar.

This ones much better though. Not as good as your Moby one, but better nonetheless.

He's also a vegetarian and animal rights activist. Feck that mate!

Although he's also a fecking awesome musician. Not sure I'd sacrifice meat for musical recognition though. (Did I just say that out loud? )

Listen,we've all said some daft things to women.Two of my most ridiculous moments were (1) convincing a girl in new york at new years that my celebrity father wanted me to stay out of the limelight on new years eve in scotland as he was a major celebrity.My assumed father was that little known actor sean connery. (2)also in new york (apologies to the women of america) i told a girl that i was a dolphin trainer at edinburgh zoo (i nicked that from a mate) as she had told me she was a contributer to the WWF.(not the wrestling!)In both cases it led to what i believe was a nice night for all involved,but that could always have been their turn to tell fibs back!

I have only one fib like that to share.
I was on holiday in Salou at the age of 16. The "Rally De Salou" was on, and I happened to be wearing a "Seat Sport" polo shirt. Me and my mate convinced some Swedish girls that we were competing.
The rest is history.
A really, really good history.

OK, back on-topic....
I went out for a quick spin to warm the engine up before I got to work on the ECU reset. The speedo is still intermittently failing.
I'm assuming I should just get under there and try drying the connector thing out, yes?

I would - but if you've fried the converter you may need a new one or you will get continual CELs

Happy New Year!

Thanks for that info.

I stayed out last night and it was pouring down on the drive home. Not only that, the speedo has stopped working completely again. Plus the power steering no longer works, EPS light on etc.

Help.
