Who will start the bowel movement thread then?

I will at 7:30am tomorrow morning. [if I can get wifi signal in there of course] Just putting the Eee Pc on to charge now.

Actually, I suspect you overestimate the CUK audience.

Whilst a simple description of sweetcorn passing through unchanged would not impress, a short essay on how the loss of one's molars results in floating mushrooms the morning after eating a meal containing sliced mushrooms, or how although disgusted by German toilets, the temptation to have a shufti at one's deposit is irresistible would fulfill an average CUKer's desire for self-understanding in a quite satisfactory way.

do I report each and every bowel movement? no, why? BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T CARE..

I vote we have a whip round for enough cash to send Wilmslow to Edinburgh so he can be taken into care then forcibly adopted by two gay men.

Do you hate gays THAT much? Surely no-one deserves that......

It's a Focus. It's not designed for long motorway journeys. Should only really be used for dropping the kids off at school and a weekly trip to the supermarket.

Yes - all the time, it would seem.

[realityhack]

Any whining?

The first 3 sound like tracking. Nailed a kerb recently...?

Indeed. What age and mileage is this motor?

Track rod ends wear, and give play in the wheels. This is easily spotted so the garage should pick up on this.

You can track and balance all you like, if the TREs are worn it'll drive like a boat.

The knocking sound coming down the gears is of more concern. Any whining when its cold?

I'm thinking of publishing these posts as a book.

Took the Focus back yet again. They have had the car for two days.

Problems I reported (since the power steering pump was replaced)

1. Uneven front passenger tyre wear
2. Vague feeling on motorway speeds
3. Vibrating steering wheel (not road feel, but, actually vibrating)
4. Dry creaky noise over speed bumps.
5. Occasional knocking noise when changing down gears (sounding like loose tie ends).
