This opening of the Commonwealth Games is boring ! :angry:

People just wandering in as if they are lost and I think they are the competitors ! :angry:

I’m looking forward to the games but switched off the ceremony.
 
I can’t get Molly to eat :sad: She hasn’t eaten since Monday. Took her to the vet yesterday and they thought she felt constipated so gave her fluids and a enema but I’ve still no joy getting her to eat. I still have some pate type consistency food in the cupboard. I’m even thinking about mushing some up with warm water and syringing it just to get something into her.

Buggery... :sad:

Try something like mashed up pilchards in tomato sauce or tuna in spring water. Something that pongs a bit. And those lick-e-lix type things that @Illaveago suggests, although mine think they're the work of beelzebub...

Is there an idle control valve? One of those sticking can give similar problems . Revving up stopped at traffic lights , accelerating when trying to slow down going into bends and roundabouts and stalling .

I genuinely don't know. A mechanic was looking at it on Tuesday and the diagnostic readings said cam sensor which is why it was replaced and he cleared the engine management light but it has now come back on again. Maybe it just needs the fault cleared again but I have a suspicion there's more to it than that. I'll try and get it plugged in again on Saturday if I can.

I had idle problems with the 205 once but it was easy to remove the idle control valve and clean it all would be fine but the Skoda injection system is a few generations on and it is not so easy to see how it all works.

It's funny the way that I was always perfectly happy to work on the Peugeot as required and nothing was too much trouble but with the Fabia, I just find it bland and boring and struggle to take an interest.

What year and model is it ? I was wondering if there are similar symptoms on the net for them ?

Just had a quick look . There was one unit which looks similar to my friend's Vauxhall Combo van . On that one it is pretty simple to replace .

'07 Fabia II 1.2 HTP. The symptoms certainly could be a cam sensor as it fits the symptoms but it could also be a lot of other things.

It can wait until the weekend. I have tomorrow off work and I am going :bicycle:

I don't need it on a day to day basis anyway so it's not the end of the world.

Ooooh, yes!

And imagine if you could then wear it on your wrist all day as well, if it were small enough... :smile:
