Today I replaced my front road wheel and tyre due to hitting a 'terracotta' piece of Kerb that the council recently installed but forgot to illuninate or paint. It was raining and dark , I moved towards the centre of the street just in case a deliveroo driver suddenly appeared on my left asthey do around here and BANG, big explosion as the tyre let go. I made sure I hadn't hit a person on a scooter coming from the right. as they do around here, put the Rangey into off road mode and drove the remaining mile home.
Sue the council
I tried complaining once because a council decided to trial a new, less in your face signage system. Parking restrictions were taken down and replaced with one easily obscured. That was my fault. ApparentlySue the council
Always check if the council signage is compliant with the relevant bits of the Traffic Signs and Road Markings legislation. They often screw up. Incomplete or lacking terminal plates on yellows but still being enforced is common.
Believe Marty stayed in New Zealand as that was where the work was for him
I actually won when the council nicked me for parking on grass the grass verge at my mates house as we had done for years after they put up a hidden sign to say "No Parking". The sign was too far away from where we were parking and it was obscured.

The glowplug light being on does not mean that the glowplugs are getting power, the relay could be dodgy.The old girl didn't start as quickly as usual a few days ok and only fired on a couple or 3 cylinders before the rest chimed in 5 seconds later. Lots of smoke then ran as normal. Today I got the missis to crank whilst I observed the clear line to the fip, no bubbles but no firing either, eventually got it going but it was close, suspect glowplugs, the light on the dash is working so can I assume the plugs are getting power? I'm on my own for the next 2 days so difficult ,but not impossibe, to check with a dmm to confirm. Whilst under the bonnet, noticed header tank was almost empty, it was fine last time I looked, 4 or 5 days ago. Couldn't see any obvious leaks so with a heavy heart I felt the drivers side carpet...soggy
Only did the O rings last year so probably the matrix fecking fecker..
Pleased you were lucky with getting the headlight out, on mine the nuts were so rusted on that the plastic holding the bolt broke.
That's in the engine ecu box isn't it? Not with the car at the mo.
Yes, the relay is in the ECU box behind the battery.
I got myself a dc clamp after a recommendation to get one from a member off here, forget who, when I first got her just over 2 years ago. Used it for the first time around a month ago to check current draw on the heated front screen as I had 12v at the screen but it didn't work, turns out the clamp on is faulty and out of warranty feckin fecker.
(cherry) some time I guess.OK, didn't know where it was. I will have a look when I escape the asylum

I'm a dab hand at whipping off the tat to get at the glow plugs so a dmm will suffice to check for voltage there but I'll look at voltage in/out the relay first cos that's easy to get at. I'm more pizzed at the matrix issue, dash out! Got to pop my
Wish it had done it when the weather was warmer cos I'll have to do it on the drive.
Going to go audi I think @TITCH SANDERS has just done it.
