  I go to cake decorating class, another class member was talking about there mother I recognised her mother as a JW. I mention that my mother knew this person and she agreed and completley shut down the conversation. However what was strange was the class occurs on a Tuesday night, from 7-9pm. Her husband was always outside at 9 pm to take her home. However after 3 lessons she was unable to due to a "meeting" implying it was not a "church gathering" but a real meeting. The question is, are they called meetings because (some) people are embarrased to tell the truth and looking stupid, or is a larger issue of the JW not wanting the outside world not to see how time consuming and demanding the cult really is?

  She is unable to attend on tuesday nights now and is going to the Thursday morning class.

  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.. .

  Clean the engine bay with a degreaser and wash/steam off. Run vehicle slowing making sure oil and water topped up. See where oil is coming from, (check temp gauge if shows any sign of getting hot stop). This will show where the leak is and take it to the garage from there. If engine has overheated at all chances are you have a blown head.

  i'll tell you what niggles me and makes me cringe at the same time, its sitting in a boring lecture at work on a managers "away day" and having someone keep using those same tired dick-head phrases that i hate.. eg:.

  "lets think outside the box".

  "lets all network in groups".

  Stoned on and off for a couple of years, helped me cope with it all by blanking it out. Parents just thought I was was quiet and accepting. Short term memory still bad. Need lists for everything.
