You welcome to come round for a brew if ever you in the area. We live in a nice scenic are,was nice till I lowered the tone though.

Lol, same here mate. Plenty of good views round here too and the people are friendly enough too on the whole. I've worked in Matlock many moons ago and visited a couple of times I think? IIRC the sunroof will be somewhere round the Doncaster area but probably wrong.

Always up for meeting up either like minded oddities. Hell I've met Paul the plumber ( thoroughly sound bloke,highly recommend a pint on a camp site) and hooli. (Bald guy,looks like his head is on upside down, famous for throwing his phone down an alps mountain pass,crashing into barriers on the right hand side of road on left handers and sucking off gibbons.)

Dodgy Tom/CLINT is local as is Catsinthewelder, even Nibblet passes by on occasion, do you do trades? Plumbers are even harder to find round here, West Mids Safari park is 15 mins away so we're OK for monkeys

Me and the good lady went to West Midlands in the berlingo van i had. Monkey sat on roofrack refusing to budge.

New batteries arrived for both keys but success is only partial. One key only lights the led very dimly, even when using the phone to view it, I'm not sure if there's a dry joint on one connection? I've got an old ZX plipper so may try to unsolder and swap the LED's?
One of the buttons was stuck too but some of that magic switch cleaner and some poking with a blade got it sorted and the battery contacts look much better.

The other does trigger the central locking on the car but somethings not right as it immediately locks itself, typical old pug games. I'll have to try lubricating all the locks thoroughly and see if that sorts it. I also need a replacement rubber lion for the other key.

It’s true, they do have everything on eBay!

I also put the V50 to work again earlier. My mate let me down and I had 3 fucking logs left Everyone's booked with this cold snap so had to go and get some myself from a new contact. 40 quid gone but I won't be cold tonight

It's got 3 months ticket left on it. Really not sure what to value it at when the others ready with the issues it's got.
