Quite rightly, the main focus of everyone's thoughts and thanks is for the heroes who work in our amazing NHS. They are all doing an amazing job in these difficult and uncertain times We should all spare a thought for others who are working to keep society ticking over. Bin Collections, Postal Workers, Delivery Drivers, and I'm sure many others. We often see them come around or come to our doors. Lets all thank them when we see them. It will help boost their morale at this difficult time. I went outside and thanked our bin collectors this morning, and have make an effort to thank the postie and delivery drivers when I've seen them. It has cost me nothing hopefully made them feel appreciated

Spare a thought for local charities
chiefengineer replied to chiefengineer's topic in Coronavirus – CoVid-19
Very much so. Running events (when we can) needs people. Not sure if posting a link to a youtube video showing what we do is allowed? There are so many small charities that struggle -
We all know how hard things are for everyone, but we should all spare a thought for local charities in or communities who don't have the resource to get on TV and ask for £x per month to support their work. I speak from experience - the charity I volunteer with in North Yorkshire are going to loose the several thousand pounds this year due to cancelling fundraising events. There are many such charities up and down the country who do amazing work who I worry are being forgotten about in these challenging times. Jeremy

Hi all I have the above vehicle - 67 plate with just under 30K on the clock. Every now and then when the car is cold I'll get an amber message pop up about transmission limited function or a red warning saying service transmission now. I know the oil change is due at the next service, but this has been happening since I had the car (had 6K when I got it). It's been into the dealer (Stoneacre) who cannot find any relevant fault codes to indicate an actual fault. I've asked about any software updates, to be told there are none available. Has anyone come across this? Jeremy

Suspicious Call claiming to be from Openreach
chiefengineer replied to chiefengineer's topic in Telecoms - mobile or fixed
0049 136 40283 is what came up on my phone The caller was definitely not German!! -
Hi Had a possible suspect call on my landline claiming to be from Openreach saying there were errors on my Internet connection. I work in IT and as soon as I mentioned this she hung up. The giveaway was that the call came from a German number: 0049 ***** 238 (will post the full number if admins okay it) Just thought I'd mention it Jeremy

Loss of Freeview Channels - Bilsdale Transmitter
chiefengineer posted a topic in Digital TV Services
Hi 16/10/19. Very poor reception on my TV. Re-tuned, but then found I had very few channels (even BBC1/2 were missing) I called the freeview helpline to find there had been an issue at Bilsdale transmitter, but it was now resolved I ended up unplugging TV from aerial socket, re-tuning, then re-plugging in TV and re-tuning to fix it Thought I'd post this in case anyone has the same issue -
Ford Focus 2.0 TDI Powershift Problems
chiefengineer replied to occamsrazor's topic in General Motoring Issues
I had a similar issue with my 11 plate Mondeo TX. Random electrical issues, hazards would come on, etc The cause was the battery not taking charge and therefore screwing up the electrics. The car was five years old when I had to change the battery. All was fine after that. When the AA came out to test it, they said it should have been pulling 60 amps from the alternator, but it was pulling 10! I'd get the battery checked -
Making a complaint - railway safety
chiefengineer replied to Nystagmite's topic in Public transport (Trains, tubes and buses)
You should probably make a complaint to whichever train company manages the station -
Hi all, Anyone ever done/tried this? We are a small charity based in North Yorkshire and I'm keen to know if anyone has had any success with this? Jeremy

chiefengineer replied to Teddybear154's topic in General Legal Issues
At the very least it is probably breaching licensing conditions -
Out of interest, what if my car is in my garage?

Different Problem & Symptons Linked To Repair
chiefengineer replied to hanc's topic in Garage services
My car was saying low battery on the dash. Turned out the battery was knackered. Was only taking 10A when the alternator was trying to give it 40A -
I would have thought you'd have had to agree to and sign for their terms and conditions? I had to when I last engaged a solicitor.

I had an 03 Tdci and it would sometimes cut out or go into limp mode with a flashing glow plug light. Then if failed to start. Turns out it was the cam chain position sensor that was mis behaving. Got it changed and it was right as rain after that.

There may be rules governing times when deliveries can and can't be made. May be worth checking with the council. Try the planning dept. Jeremy

Security clearance partners debrs
chiefengineer replied to Daisymoocow's topic in General Debt Issues
I got DV many years ago. I had some debts at the time myself, and they ask for your credit report. All they really want to be sure of is whether your debts are lore likely to accept a bribe. As a previous poster said, your partners debts are not likely to be a concern. That was a good few years back. -
Health and safety excuses are at a record high.
chiefengineer replied to Michael Browne's topic in General Consumer Issues
