have an electrical problem with my pickup.... was driving yesterday and the car-horn went on and didn't stop. Had to pull over and disconnect it and then pull the fuse. The fuse isn't damaged at all and I went through all of them and they are all fine.
Dealership job or any advice on how to sort it? Right now I'm happy enough driving without....

Has to be something to do with the steering wheel. That is the switch. Check that a coin or something has not got in.
its definitely electrical - when I put the side lights on the honking stopped. when I removed a fuse on the same line there is a crackling if the lights are off.
I'll open up the steering wheel and see can i see anything.

Now that you mention that it may be alarm related. Electrical faults in a car can be a nightmare.

..It was the football equivalent of shopping in Harrods.. In contrast, Liverpool did their summer shopping in Aldi and Lidl .

I would say it was more like sending Mario Balotelli out for supplies. As for Aldi and Lidl you can get some great foreign stuff in there.

Mike Phelan saying utd have lost their identity with the sale of wellbeck

Utd's identity involves being in around the top of the league......

So you are in agreement then that they've lost it...cool

Utd spent the last twenty odd years dominating the league. Presently they are not. So yes they are not the same in that sense. This window's purchases may or may not address the league position but I have a feeling it is going to be some craic to watch.

Tried that to no avail!  May take it to a garage in the morning.

You need to try again. The alloy reacts to the steel hub and sticks. Seen it a thousand times. A few more good solid thumps should sort it., We apply copper grease to prevent this happening.

I would expect Carrick, when fit, to come into the middle of a back three

                   De Gea

        Jones    Carrick     Rojo

Valencia   Hererra  Blind   Di Maria   

                  Rooney
     RVP                     Falcao

No Shaw?

Hell of a transfer window when you look at that! If LVG can find a way for them all to fit in then top 4 is guaranteed..

has any1 had any problems with mini one's? the alarm is going on when i try to start the car, the driver door is locked in and out so you cant use the door. any ideas? only bought 4 months ago and hurst arent standing over it

Go straight to Hursts and tell them you know your rights. They MUST stand over any issues under the sale of goods act. Don't let them wriggle out of it.



they give us 6 months warranty. after 1 month we had to get the steering column replaced & 2 pads and now they are saying if its a wiring issue they aren't standing over it. i cant see it being anything but a wiring issue.

It matters not if it is a wiring issue they MUST stand over it. Mention Trading Standards to them and watch them jump!

Delighted for Donegal. Hope and think they can beat Kerry now. As for Dublin, did they read that papers too much?

I think Carragher's surprise is because United don't need strikers. Not sure about Thommo.

I thought Falcao's wages were 9 million. Might be wrong though.
wages seems to be the wrong word for 9million a year

RVP was not a good long term  buy either. He spends a lot of time injured.

Long term maybe not but the fact that he more or less won Utd a title justified his price alone..

To the "David Moyes was hard done by" brigade - do you think if he was left in place United would have signed Di Maria and (hopefully) Falcao. No harm to Moyes but LVG is different gravy.

It's not going to turn around straight away but I love the intent of these signings.
If you don't qualify for CL next season do you think players like Di Maria,Mata,Rooney Van Persie and Falcao will want to spend another season not in the Champions League.
Serious question BTW not taking piss.

You're in bother when you have to say that. :)
I thought the same thing when I was typing it  ;D

Falco is a year loan so he'll go, Rooney will stay Van Persie nearly past his sell by date  and Mata will stay as the wages would be hard to get elsewhere. Can't see a CL position at all unless they put a run together after xmas, as the team not is doing enough to hang on to the poorer (perceived) teams.

I have read that the Falcao deal can be made permanent. I expect results to get a lot better when all of the players are available. I think they should be able to scrape into the top 4.

Deal done for Falcao! Seems a bit mental :o
Loan deal for one season apparently. Will they be paying £20 million for one year like was reported Liverpool would have to pay a few weeks ago? Crazy money if so.

I presume the £20m you mention included his wages?
