That's me eyes looking like a barn owl for the next few hours Have a good day everyone and take care or get better I always try the reset feature before having it checked out by a garage. If the problem is real the warning light will reocurr, but if it's just a software glitch you can save yourself money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my brain is in a fog just now, but I've tried to process that sentence, and I really hope you only mean a full eye test. Having 'eyeballs reset' sounds just awful. I'm cringing as I'm typing this. I hope all goes well. Avril 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indiana123 Posted April 7, 2022 #33633 Share Posted April 7, 2022 A day or so ago I mentioned that Morrisons had no petrol. Well we were in a different town today and passed Morrisons. They had petrol but the queue was way up the road. Then we popped in the Co-op at Bobbing, for milk, and their petrol station had big notices saying "no fuel". Is this just round here.. I haven't heard or seen it mentioned elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got off the M25 a junction early, hoping to rely on the sat nav. Constantly got "turn around". Luckily there were signs for Staines, and I know where that is, so just followed those signs. Sat nav only stopped telling me to turn round after we started seeing the M3 signs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have fuel problems in parts of Shropshire, Sainsburys seem to have a supply problem as closed more than open. I had it is due to protests at fuel depots.

brian1 Posted April 8, 2022 #33648 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Morning all,good journey home yesterday.We normally get a 60-70 euro cab for the 50 mile journey to the airport,there is now a bus for 4 euro each,how bad's that.Ryanair on time,we don't pay for ANY extras now not even cabin bags.With the RAS I was placed in row 10 in 3 empty seats and my OH in row 5 in 3 empty seats.So guess what after the doors shut I jumped in with her.For about 20 quid each for this leg,well worth it.I couldn't believe our luck when we walked straight to the front at the passport scanners,last November took 90 minutes.Home indoors by 7.30.Good old English ruby takeaway tonight,cheers,Brian. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
