Random Irritations

[Whereditgo]

Might come to that but it's the wrong direction for work which makes it awkward. In addition, looking on Mazda forums, people don't seem overly confident in their response to engine management warning lights. That hasn't encouraged me. It's plan c though

What engine is it? The reason I ask is I had a Mazda with the 2.0 Diesel engine and there is an inherent design fault with this engine. The inlet manifold 'cokes up' and causes the engine management warning light to come on and the car to suffer loss of power, it's a fairly major job to de-coke. Mine went twice, the second time it took out the turbo!

Finding that organising tennis doubles matches is just as difficult as organising golf pairs matches. Why do people enter? What can't they make some sacrifices to get matches played?!

2.0d, as yours. I'll add your suggestion to the ones I've seen on a mazda forum. I'll gently lob them at the garage and see if any of them stick as possibilities.

Thank you.

Covid is still out there. My cousin was in hospital for an unrelated condition. Due to be discharged last Friday but caught Covid whilst in there, and died yesterday…

So sorry for your loss. The same thing happened to my FIL last April. He never caught covid during the pandemic. But last year after contracting it he passed away after two weeks.

My word, driving on blue lights could be an experience. Some of the reactions from drivers were unbelievable.

Fully agree. However I do get annoyed with ambulances drive with the sirens on and don't overtake

No issue bluelights but find it very distracting when they are saying working on someone at the back but keep the sirens on without overtaking a soul

 

[PJ87]

Maybe they had a very sick person on board and was taking it easy?

Which as I said is fine. However if they are blasting the sirens out. Without needing to overtake people it's just causing distraction from the road ahead.

By all means blue lights on. As I stated above.

According to Mrs Imurg...if an Ambulance has its siren going its unlikely there's anyone in the back...it's blooming loud and potentially distressing..

If you’re referring to ambulances on motorways, then they probably aren’t quick enough to overtake traffic travelling at motorway speeds.

The reverse is actually true - because of the way sirens are configured they’re actually nowhere near as loud in a 3 9’s vehicle as you would expect.

Na not motorways that's understandable, on the a406 in London prime example. 30, 40 and 50 mph stretches

Like I said I can understand the bluelights but the sirens when not actively overtaking anyone just I personally find it distracting as I'm always trying to get out of the way and let them past but when you move over and they keep there for another 3 miles it's just a little disconcerting

I've got a Mazda 3 with an engine warning light on. A mechanic told me it's rubbish. Nowt wrong with engine, ignore it. It only comes on in cold weather, so that's 8 months of the year. When it comes to MOT time I drive around warm the engine, then go to test place. Use a gadget to knock it off and car passes. Simples

It might be that they are obliged to use them when on an emergency run, not to make progress through traffic, but to protect themselves from litigation if they are involved in a collision. I stress that’s just me speculating, but there are often reasons for the actions of the 3 9’s services which aren’t obvious.

Sorry, Mudball, but tonight I'm only reading in English.
Haven't a bloody clue what your post means.
