RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted November 28, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Evening all from Estuary-Land. Ivan, has it got a rear screen demister? The only other thing I can think of is that it is somehow part of the air-con controls. Try looking at what it says in the manual about the a/c and heating controls and see if there is a button or control that is on your dashboard but not mentioned. If you want moss (not of the Kate variety GDB) I have plenty to spare, the front of the house faces due north and it grows in abundance on the front path.

emt_911 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I was once told by a Loadmaster from 47 Sqn that the worst thing about taking paras in the aircraft (C 130) was having to clean the lick marks off the windows after they'd jumped out. I'm pondering on a suitable reply that won't get me banned 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 An easy day with absolutely nothing to remotely challenge me and the mileage is down to 20 miles after yesterdays 400. There might be a slight change of plans for Thursday. I've been asked if I will give an engineer a hand with a job. The up side to this is that I can then return the van at my own convenience and get paid for the day as well. A relaxing evening in front of the idiot box and catching up on a few topics on here. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2017 That's a GS. Mine's a CX. Two different models.If the switch were an optional extra on some CX versions it would seem odd for it not to be originally fitted to one with an air con system. I assume Ivan would have noticed if the rear screen didn't have heating wires! I had an Astra where the mirror heaters were activated from a tiny button on the centre console. On my next Astra I couldn't find the button and only found out they were switched on when the rear screen heater was on. In fact I think thst is now they have worked on every cat I have owned since.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted November 28, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Predictive text changed car to cat. So I changed it before posting.

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted November 28, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 28, 2017 Evening everyone It was a frosty start to the day this morning, as as has been the norm for the last few weeks, I've spent most of it in middle earth. Today I continued working on the engine shed, it's almost completed, I've just got one of the hoods to build and both sets of doors to finish. Then I will give it a second coat of varnish and that's it. This afternoon I retrieved the cases/bags from storage in the roof space above the bathroom, so that Sheila could start her packing, I did mine after she'd finished, as I only take a few minutes, as opposed to Sheila's couple of hours! I mean how much do you need for 2 nights? I darent ask Sheila that question! The bins were put out, ready for tomorrow's collection, once they've been emptied I'll retrieve them and it's off to Harrogate. I think I'll call in at Starbucks Models after we've unpacked our bags, if there's time. Goodnight all 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyram Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Evening all. A quick check in to offer my good wishes and thank those people for their kind words recently.

RMweb Premium BR60103 Posted November 29, 2017 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 29, 2017 When we bought our motorhome, I had to drive it home alone as Dayle was in the car. Halfway down the motorway it started to rain and I had to figure out the windshield wipers without being able to read the manuals. We had the local club, half a dozen guys, over to talk and see trains. Very appreciative of my layout (and my wife's 2 layouts). Spent the day as stationmaster at Windermere. Major chaos -- train #1 was still in the platform when it was supposed to arrive back. Some of the goods trains may have gone out with the wrong identification (I don't understand that part; someone else does.) (don't know why text went like that.) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
