... she shouted from the drive, .... "get out here"...So I trudge out reluctantly, thinking, don't let it be something expensive :roll:

... "What is it" I ask...THERE'S A RED WARNING LIGHT ON AND IT WON'T GO OUT :shock:

.... she bellows . At this point I pray it's not the oil pressure or something chewy..."There, look, that one"............ she says.
"That's the door closed light, have you shut the door since you got in the car?" I enquire. "Er .....no" she simpers. ..... She does and the light goes out. "There, no problem, haven't you noticed that before?" I ask helpfully. "NAH..... THEY'RE JUST RED LIGHTS TO ME" she playfully replies........................... :roll:

Orange engine warning light came on in my on the way home from work last night. Bloke at the garage reckons computer says that it's a fuel line problem, quite likely the lambda sensor so it goes in to cost me money on Saturday. Bloody cars. :evil:

I'll swear these new cars have a chip inserted to fook up just after the manufacturers warrantry expires.

At that stage it's often useful to light a petrol bomb and hurl it through the window.

'That's a light you need to understand, love...........' :evil:

Kev, womens logic, the other week in Amsredam for a laugh, I said "I love you" in Dutch, she smiled, like a shark and asked what it meant, she then said that's nice and made me repeat it continually..... I then overheard her telling the daughter that ..."he says it means I love you, but the buggers probably slagging me off"....... rolfl

All those canals Mr Snowy, the impenetrable silt filled waterways.......the transfer from a double to a single and the resultant cost saving.

What a missed opportunity.... :roll:

but isnt the lamda sensor on the exhaust so i wouldnt have thought it would be that
mind lamda sensors have come down in price depending on the make of car they cost about £30/40 but the labour is a bit more than that

Aye, the one on my last A4 was on the exhaust but it cost me about £300 to get it fixed- this one is at a similar mileage. Dunno if I was overcharged like cos it took the clown in the garage in Oxy Road about 2 or 3 days to find the problem before he started fixing it. Now I go to a specialist place in Diddlesbrough so hopefully they'll be cheaper cos it'll be quicker for them and they might have bulk buy discount on the parts.
