Is it just Southern England that's affected so far?

 

BTW I also thought I heard a lady on Sky saying she'd had trouble but her car was Diesel powered.

I had to have my catalytic converter changed at the beginning of the year - I wonder how many other people are wondering if the petrol caused that as well, I know I am.

mm, well I think a lot of people text etc in when their problem probably isnt connected, deisel etc, so it kind of gets in the way of a clear picture of the problem, my problem sounds like others from se of England with the juddering and the same symptoms as blocked jets on putting your foot down!

 

evidently AA say silicone has been found in the petrol of some broken down cars..now I have no idea why an oxygen probe testing your gases in the exhaust should be effected..

It's funny but, I appreciate the lovely sunny days much more this time of year. By summer, it just becomes the norm.

I wonder if the fires in LA are affecting Darius or Natasha

:unsure: ooh what fires.....

Brush fire hits California south

 

Whipping winds are making firefighting difficult

A brush fire fuelled by strong winds and dry vegetation has scorched thousands of acres of land in California, fire officials have said.

At least 500 families were forced to evacuate their homes in the area and some three houses caught fire.

 

The fire broke out in the Anaheim Hills area of California, some 35 miles (56km) south-east of Los Angeles.

 

Police are investigating reports that a stolen car, torched to hide the evidence may have sparked the blaze.

 

"This is a very dangerous fire fight," Orange County fire chief Ed Fleming said.

 

"The terrain is quite rugged, with homes on top of ridges, and the fire picks up speed as it heads up the hill."

 

Red flag alert

 

More than 800 firefighters have been deployed but the high winds, reaching speeds of 35mph (56km/h) were making their task difficult.

 

Helicopters and planes also doused the fire with water and flame retardant from the air.

 

The authorities have put the affected area under a red flag alert.

 

Such fires are a regular occurrence for California residents.

 

Many of them will be spending their evening at the local schools and community centres that have opened their doors to people forced to abandon their homes.

It's further south than where Darius is....but still not good for some

It was when they said some of the homes were on ridges, I thought of 'the pad'

yes, know what you mean.

 

Anaheim is where Disneyland is so well away from them.

The studio is safe then. Thanks, Pam

so did I, it is very apt to burst into flame round there.

In the wrong thread :wacko:
