morning

Morning all. Nice and sunny with a few clouds. Traumatic walk with the dog this morning. Watching the swallows and not him for a moment and he disappeared over the promenade wall! About an 8 foot drop onto the sand. Appears to be ok but will keep an eye on him for rest of the day. He's 16 years old now so not so agile but still fitter than me. Good luck with the bunnies Gav.

They have a habit of surprising you don't they. One of ours jumped off the harbour wall in Tenby forcing me to climb down a ladder into the water and give her a firemans lift back up the ladder. Ruined my boots and clothes and driving home from Tenby to Builth in the buff made it seem like a long journey....thankfully it was summer

Bloody hell Joe......4 times past its change.....you were very lucky :D :thumbsup:
£800 is expensive if the garage only changed the belt mate....belt cost on its own about £20/30.
Kit form £150/£200.

Labour about 1 to 2 hours....tops.

At least you know your belt is good now.....peace of mind :thumbsup:

Just looked in my records. I had the diesel Meriva for three years. Got it at five years old and had the belt changed in 2012. Cost £370 then at a Vauxhall dealers. Great little motor. I think it was an Isuzu engine that Vauxhall fitted. Just had new MacPherson struts on the back of my wife's Subaru. £400!

The only problem I've ever had with it Dick was a dead battery so all in all it hasn't cost me much in 7 years

Aye, the missus just had a call to say her pal is coming round in 15 minutes so a quick skirmish and all doors shut. Will still need to clear out a spare room for her other mate who's staying over tonight. Shouldn't take long to throw all the crap into another room and shut the door again. :lol:

Hope the boy is alright Dick, one of ours launched herself off a 7 foot(ish) walkway into what she thought would be the sea only for the tide to be out. Straight from snotty heap to a hundred miles an hour bombing towards the sea. She paid for it later though, she damaged herself and was limping home. You sometimes forget that they're dogs.
 
Morning all.

Blue skies and sunshine here this morning :)

Might just take the fishing rod out for an hour or two.....try for a Bass.
Fair bit of weed floating about in the water at the moment....a pain when lure and plug fishing :rolleyes:
Have a few weedless options I can try.

Have a good one all.

Morning folks, Bright sunshine and clear blue sky here. Playing with my other bike today, just checking it over and running the engine up. 1991 yamaha XJ 900, I've decided to give it to my son who has lusted after it for years. He's coming down next week to collect it.
