Our old staffie killed next door's s cat. Then over the road's cat. ( Who, incidently, accused me of shooting their grandad with an air rifle!) Then two hedge-hogs. And a toad. She chased a poodle, caught it and came trotting back to me and dropped it by my feet. (It didn't die) it got up and attacked me, I was only about ten, so my dad smashed it over the back with a walking stick, which broke into several peices. (It still didn't die) it then, dazed, ran In front o a car. (It died)________________________________________ For we are many.PS£ ID: Monkey369 |

Im just wondering why this is cus I cant see why it would fix the needle problem. Flickering rev needle = low battery worth charging before the big freeze next week |

That what I first thought it was, but the battery is fine and it just seems strange that since replacing the cat, it hasnt flickered at all. |

earthing/connection issue maybe?,..my battery used to do it before it died,... needles would judder for a few secs then return to normal would half turn over then nothing I'd have to disconnect the battery and reconnect after a few secs all would be good for a while,.. try smearing Vaseline/petroleum jelly between the battery clamps and the terminals to increase conductivity  ________________________________________ Proud Member of the ASTOR Owners Club |

Well its fine now, will see how long it lasts. Pug said the battery is fine when I asked them to run a few diagnostics on my car 2 months ago. The needles flickered when it was hotter weather than this too. But alls fine so we will have to see. Car is running really good right now. |

No one on this forum would help me so I paid Pug £700.80 to fix it for me, but whilst I was there I got a rear windscreen wiper which was £18, and also some other bits. Grand total was £1500.80 but I could not afford it so took out a loan for £2k (2.5k with interest) and I have to pay monthly and with my left over money I bought a trench coat, which I now think is the wrong size and i cant return it. |

This is a bit more like the way the forum was when I joined it. I did actually laugh out loud at a couple of the stories on this thread. Brilliant. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I admit, I laughed out loud as soon as Buzz wrote 'I ran over a cat earlier', which shouldnt be funny, but is. |
