What's Boiling Your Pi$$ Today?

That really stinks!

Are they also outside the 14 day period? If so might be worth finding out how much legal assistance will cost vs the increase in your insurance over the next 5 years?
Just gone through all 3 NIPS and 2 are for doing 36 in a 30 that’s 1 mph over usually allowed tolerance of 10% plus 2 :rolleyes: and one for doing 39….

Looking around the web for barroom lawyer advice it looks like first step is to complete the NIP and return them, then go to court and challenge the passage of time invalidating the NIP(y)

So the cockamamy plan I have hatched this morning is to send one NIP back today and the other two Monday week in the hope I will get a driver training course instead of points for the first one and presumably points for the other two

If that doesn’t work then I’ll look at speaking to a lawyer

6 points has to be better than 9 for insurance and any other minor transgression with my right foot/wrist over the next 3 years:unsure:

Well that's fucked it...
Lost a days wages..
Duckmobile is overheating rapidly in a very short space of time..
So it's possibly an airlock but I doubt it or a blockage in the cooling system which is plausible as a while back I banged some radweld in it as it was going through a lot of coolant...Or it's a dodgey thermostat or water pump..
I think removing the water pump is meant to be a bastard of a job on one of these and if it's a blockage how the fuck do you remove a blockage from the coolant system..it's not like you can just poke it with a stick ...🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤯🥸🦆

I'd get half hour free legal advice from a solicitor...your entitled to it...A lot of solicitors don't like wasting their time with it but they are legally obliged to give you it..you have to sign a paper though to say you recieved it...
I was speaking to a legal bod yesterday evening about it and they said that something is wrong there...🦆

I'm a bit led by my experience with big six bmws but I'm afraid that sounds like it could be a head gasket.

Well no coolant is coming back through the return pipes so that's why I'm thinking blockage stuck thermostat or water pump fucked...
What makes you think head gasket @chas 🦆

I see those wankers from 'JustStopOil' and Extinction Rebellion are in the news again. Can we not just fill their tunnels in with the useless fuckers still inside them? We don't need these idle rich kids causing more problems to the oil and gas supply at the moment. Personally I'd lock them up for the good of the country at least until the Ukraine situation is resolved.

C'mon then @BAD LUCK DUCK give us a laugh.
What did the RAC guy say about the bonnet ornament?
You know what he was brilliant...
Thought the Duck was great and cracked up when it quacked...
Turns out he's into bikes and got an old Honda night hawk in boxes that he is gonna do up with his little boy as a project bike..used to have a gsx 750 I think he said and we got on famously..Shook my hand and told me what a great bloke I was and that in all his years of towing folks he'd never got on so well with a customer...
Motorbike people are the best people...👍👍👍🦆

@BAD LUCK DUCK You used radweld.... I'm guessing your rad is choked. Mate of mine bunged radweld in a V8 range rover as a get you home fix. It didn't get them home. Set solid in the middle of the rad and the engine roasted.

AS already mentioned, drain it out and flush with clean water, then check for flow. What comes out should be quite telling.

And, sorry its let you down 😒
I put the radweld in ages back..
How long back was it @DD67
So I don't know mate..it's been fine and all of a sudden over night it's gone pear...🦆

I do that when interacting with the criminally insane as well. It confuses them & buys me time to look for an escape route 😉

Out of curiosity...
Whilst he was telling you all of that. Did he also happen to drop into the conversation that he's currently single? 🧐
