  How Many People Could Invent A Different Same-Forum Persona?

  by Englishman in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  occasionally, we get people joining the forum who already have an account here.

  actually, one somewhat entertaining brit has had dozens of accounts opened and then closed in the last few months.

  now i'm not referring to the old days when you might have found, for example, simon and simon 1 in the members list.

  Are You A Deisel Mechanic? Problem With My Motor, HELP

  by Celtic in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i drive a peugeot 405 gt turbo deisel estate, fitted with the 1769cc engine on a k plate (early 90's).. just now i noticed on the way home that from the bottom of the engine, oil was absolutely pissing out the thing, i managed to get the car the few miles home, topping up often with fresh oil.

  are there any deisel mechanics amongst us who might be able to tell me what the problem is, would it be the oil seal or perhaps the sump which is knackered?.

  if you are not familiar with these engines or have knowledge of deisel engined cars, could i ask politely, that you do not respond to this thread, cheers.. many thanks in advance.. .

  Cheers guys for your help. I ought to have mentioned that the trouble must have started when I whalloped the bottom of the car driving up a farm track this around lunchtime, the shock near enough also tearing the exhaust off,. During this 'whalloping' I didn't half hear a bad scraping sound from underneath the engine, so I'm pretty sure from this cause, it is the sump that has gone. I just found out too that my former taxi mechanic is still in business, so will be giving him the car tomorrow to look at.

  Ruddy cars.

  how many of you gave up a college scholarship to appear "spiritual"?

  jt's thread about "homegrown lawyers" and the wtbs willingly sending certain ones to college started me thinking about that question.

  i know i for one, relinquished that scholarship to show how "spiritual" i was at 18. .

  I so wished in life that I had the opportunity of further education like many others no doubt here. This 'legal right of mine being taken away from me is most definately STILL impacting on my life today, I feel deceived, and unable now to reach the expectations of what might have been mine, for this reason alone I am very very very highly annoyed with the WT.

  Although having by many accounts an extremely good mind on my shoulders, I was forced like many others to take on subservient roles the thinking being that if I were to partake in further studies, this was drawing attention to myself and not serving the borganisation to the full.

  My nan, (Grandmother) mother of my father died whilst I was in my final year of exams at school. For this reason I left school with absolutely no qualifications at all, much to my financial distress to this day and fulfillment of my personal dreams. To this day I have not one paper qualification to my name having pretty much always been self employed in much lower paid industries.

  I did apply to college 2 years ago or so to study 3 courses concurrently. Garden Design, Permaculture and Environmental Conservation. Alas, after only 2 months on the courses, my funding failed to materialise and as a result of this, I was forced off the course as I could not afford it personally from my own finances back then. This double whammy has left a bitter taste in my mouth.

  These days, considering that a university degree will set you back after 3 years to the tune of somewhere in the region of £22,000 I am loathe to fully taking this course of action on, since I always like to keep ahead of any debts whatsoever and pay, if I need anything, cash outright for anything I need.

  Though to be honest, the risk is probaly still worth it. I think if I were to apply again, I would go for Business Studies or some form of Entrepreneurship degree as offered by Professor Roger Mumby Croft on his course at Oxfords Brookes University where some time ago I was offered a placement.

  I don't know what to do and need soon to talk to someone about all of this.

  Celtic of the wanting to get it going, moving along class.
