Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

:o I'm not sure Bede would have intended to say that! :lol:

It's even funnier if you set the language on the left box to Greek instead of Latin, then it reads the original line one character at a time in the voice of the late Mrs Thatcher instead of that rather foxy Latino chick!

Hi Rich, if you have the pins / 4 flat key things to pop the stereo out then I can sort you out with the code. if your stereo is one of the rectangular ones (with square corners not round ones) and needs the flat keys DO NOT try pushing screwdrivers / anything else in as all that will happen is you damage the plastic. I paid £1.99 for my set of keys on ebay a while ago.

So you have a soldering iron but not a multi-meter :S

put on your spurs, grab your calking gun and bung some bathroom sealant around all the lights on the roof ;)

Perhaps blanking grommets or pop rivets and penny washers would be a better way to seal the holes. I once worked for a place that had a Bedford CF recovery truck that had two beacons on the roof. They obviously lacked suitable bolts as they had put M6 x 50mm bolts in. It was dangerous enough to "jump" in the cab without thinking, let alone what may have happened in an accident!
