    @66Mustang I’m finding it difficult to have a goal for today , though I’d like to know a little more about biocentrism. At the moment I know virtually nothing about it but something intrigued me and that was an article saying how biocentrism may point to the existence of a soul from a scientific viewpoint. That’s kind of thing presses buttons for me so I must investigate a little anyway.

    Forty minutes or so waiting on the line before I got through to a person, actually that’s about normal for me. They have a very annoying tune playing though ?

    What genre @leeCal? I quite like elevator music, but it really grates on me when companies just play one short segment of a pop song over and over!

    It’s a short piece of elevator music played one over, an ear worm I think you’d call it @Tori_Scope

    I’m going to try to fix my car today with the help of a good friend, if that works great, if not ...we’ll i would have enjoyed his company and a chat for a while. It’s only the window washer but it’s tricky, is it blocked or is it broken? It’s also in a weird place necessitating removal of the wheel arch splashboard if it’s broken. And I have a cold so it’s a job not to be sneezed at ha ha.

    @Cher_Scope all done! 
    It was quite a struggle but there were two of us. Modern engine compartments are so tightly packed it makes simple jobs very difficult. Never mind I saved the cost of a garage being involved haha. ?

    Well done @leeCal

    I know how satisfying it is to complete jobs on the car. I also know what you mean about modern engines - changing a headlamp bulb was a real struggle on my last cars as everything was squashed in under the bonnet.

    What turned out to be wrong with it in the end?

    The windscreen washer pump had gone kaput. Some people,have said that using cheap screen washer can ruin themand I had used such stuff lately, so may have been that.
    we took off the wheel arch liner and got at it like that, it’s the only way apart from removing the front bumper, it’s a Renault cio. @66Mustang it took roughly an hour and the part was £20.

    Great, well done :) from a garage I’m guessing you wouldn’t have got much change out of £150?

    @Grinchy Go you!! It sounds like you had a good day and kept that anxiety at bay.  I will go have a peep in the kaleidoscope thread at what you made.  Are you a fan of halloween?

    Does anyone have any goals for today or are we all taking it easy because it's Sunday?  :D
