Actually i was at Elsternwick Audi looking/drooling over the R8 with my son, and telling him about how Mr P1 will/should have one soon. Not 5 minutes later Mr P1 rang.... cut forward a few hours later, and my son (and his dad :) ) has his first ride in a Massa QP. :thumbsup:

I know all about things nor going to plan…..

Tuesday I went out to a customers site for a Preventative maintenance on a machine. Easy enough. Took very little time to complete, until I powered it back up again. Critical disk read error. Spoke with the customer and arranged to fit a new drive on Wednesday. No problems, left home @ 7am, got there about 10am. Damn traffic and road works. This just so happened to be the day of the bad winds, etc.

Got home around 4pm and got a call from another site in Heidelberg saying that their instrument had a drive failure also. So I went back to work, battled through peak hour traffic with rain, wind and drivers who have forgotten to drive, to fix the instrument. Disk replaced and all appeared to be well. Until I got home at 9pm. Phone rang again, the same customer, saying that the heaters were not coming up to temperature. The damn state files were currupt. So Out I went again and fixed this problem.

I finally got home again at around 12am, and was looking forward to sleep. But guess what…… I couldn't sleep.

Apple make servers? I lol'd at that one.

As for you guys that keep banging on about "IT Nerds", don't hate us because we are smarter and earn more money. Next time you sit down to post a reply on this site just remember, if it wasn't for us you'd still be sending chain letters and hiring your porn from Blockbuster you dirty haters :P

Oh, I remember the days.. Eagerly waiting beside the letter box, hoping that the postman would bring me the latest bunch of letters from "The Wasteland".

haha. I like that one. Hence why i've never purchased an iMac. Always the Mac Towers. I have both platforms at home, use them both for different things.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
