• Branded! Hot iron mark removed - Nokia E63 5 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  Or can you? It should be said at this point that there was no contract out on it. It`s a paid up pay as you go job and free to roam the Prairie, except for it`s network hobbling of the software - which also can`t be updated to the latest version, with all it`s improvements, due to it`s branding.

• Enduring computers 13 Jun 2010 (Forum)
  At times, Mrs O encounters trouble in the form of infected web pages, files and so on - obvious from the computers behaviour. But a reboot, auto revert - and it`s back to it`s normal, fast running, clean, state. So it`s 7 yrs and counting. There`s stacks of software on it now,  so I cloned the disk a while back and keep the original  as a backup, in the loft.

  Fortunate to be in the City - living it`s own little life - it`s entitlement in the greater scheme of things and for it`s wings. Swooping now over the City, the bird with no feet. oilrag

• Ford SportKA SE 1.6 (2004) - Temperature light keeps coming on, but not overhea 24 Mar 2016 (Forum)
  The garage has implied it might be best to take it to Ford to run a diagnostic on it. They're willing to refund the labour for the 2nd visit, as they couldn't be 100% sure if it was going to fix the issue or not. The garage has been really helpful, but this problem is puzzling them.
