diplomacy, not war, is the way to conduct foreign policy

To a point.  There comes a time when diplomacy either fails, or gets nowhere.

If we were all leftie wets 85 years ago, we'd all be either Ayran or dead.

At least the trains on Chiltern oppsing Railways might have run on time! 

Not with their current staff, who all would have been shot/gassed/whatever.   I'm not necessarily saying that would be a bad thing, mind.....

You got further than I did trying to track that intermittently P006A code on hers.

I checked intake pipework to turbo, and pipework to/from intercooler, no obvious leaks anywhere.  No telltale signs of cracked manifold either, not that they are prone to cracking on this engine.

I believe he was attacked while carrying out his cleaning duties in one of the prisons workshops so many items would have been available,  it will save us the taxpayers a few quid now he's gone.

If they'd got him 20 years ago just think how much that could have saved 

Had a couple of little goes, but got stuck in today

So, EGR cooler out, EGR out, Ducting and throttle body out, fuel filter housing out, and inlet manifold out.
Hateful job, every bolt out of site, around a corner, new flexible extensions required.

All pretty gunged up, and a coolant weep, and inlet manifold leak spotted.

Next to clean everything up and try and put it back together.

New inlet manifold here and ready, new fuel filter housing on order.

All in all, prob the biggest job I've ever tackled.

Luckily I've the project corsa, which turned out to not be much of a project to use as a daily driver so have the time to do this.

The most embarrassing thing I've ever seen on TV has got to be Lammy & Badenoch talking about the present situation in the Middle East , educated idiots at their best God help us all if we ever have to depend on either of them.

Diamond estate had auto levelling like omega,Cdx etc was manual.

"War is the continuation of politics by other means"    or
"War is diplomacy by other means" is a simplified version of works by Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz (1780-1831).

Although I personally prefer Thomas Hobbes(1588-1679) view, as expressed in his work Leviathan (1651) that without a strong government to maintain order, mans natural desire is to always gravitate towards "Warre"; "Warre as a state of nature" - a perpetual, inherent condition of uncertainty and distrust existing whenever there is no common power to keep men in awe. "Warre of every man against every man".

So, in short, God help us all!!

It has just been announced that the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales has been directed to make ready for sailing from Portsmouth in about five days.

So here we go, Sir Keir is warming up!

I hope that HMS Dragon will leave escorting the carrier, with perhaps other RN units, as is true practice in regards to capital ship sailings. Maybe French support warships will join them.

I imagine he rarely gets past 'luke warm'......be it the boardroom, or the bedroom.
