  1. Thanks Ian, I have looked for a factory set button and there is nothing on the sides, back and underneath. I would be a lot more relaxed if there was. Rgds Richard
  2. We have a HP printer which has become blocked. There is no paper or anything else in the printer to cause a problem in the new house. The cartridges will not move and I am sure that it is a simple problem but the HP virtual assistant was no help. It has worked at home for many years with no issues. It is HP ENVY 5532. ( CN4A7363ZH ) and has only had home use daily for many years. It is not working in the new house and the ink cartridges will not move. There is a short message on the screen " Improper Shutdown use the on button to turn off the printer " If anyone has any advic
  3. I am looking for some technical advice on my VW headlamps. There are no obvious cracks but there is condensation inside. I have an MoT soon and need a repair. I have looked on Ebay and there are second hand used headlamps for about £35.00 and a new pair for £235.00. If I buy the used ones how will I know if they have the same damp issue ? My wife has a proper new Passat but mine was passed on by my son when he upgraded. Is there any repair which I could do at home ? There must be silicon sealers available. If anyone has any advice I would be very pleased. Thanks Richard & B
  4. Hi, We have moved house to a small village near Lewes, Sussex After many years of checking the TR forum most days I have today, just managed to use the laptop. I was pleased to read the posts. We have a new Internet supplier. Open reach helped with the main 'phone line and we are finally on the internet after a few weeks. The garage is full of packing boxes so it is hard to find everything. It will be all cleared up by Easter. Richard & B
  5. I am at the original address while cleaning up during the day. There is no internet at the new address yet and no TV. So while I am here I can still read the forum and check the world on the laptop. It does feel disconnected. The shredder is still here so I will try to use it tomorrow. The dog is short on his evening meal but understands and is very patient. It will soon be over and we can settle in to the new house ?? Richard & B
  6. I am moving from Laughton East Sussex to Rodmell near Lewes Sussex. It is not far but we are using this opportunity to clear out old papers, files, bank statements and some old Passports many years old. Some of this means a small bonfire in the garden. How will the next generation manage with no paper copies of bank statements. Tomorrow will be easier when we are half way clear ?? Richard & B
  7. Thanks for helping to make the forum such a useful place the supply of answers to many problems. Best wishes from Richard & B
  8. Thanks. These instructions are very clear on how to make repairs with Stormsure. The TR forum has many experts who often give me new advice. I will look forward to a dry couple of days so that I can leave the wellington boot unused and hope for a good repair. Well done Trev
  9. I have two boxes of Traction and they will have to find a new owner. I will take them to the local tip if no one is interested. There is also a collection of The Goodwood Group newsletter 1991 - 2001. We are moving house and there will be more than one trip to the tip in the next few days. Please let me know what I should do. Thabjs Richard & B
  10. I have a Stormsure boot repair kit. There are a number of items and no clear instructions on how to start Small black sandpaper Tube of Flexible Repair Adhesive Two 3" self adhesive Tuff Tape patches Small pack of white single use fabric A wooden small stick But no clear instructions on the box or inside If anyone can help please send me a link to clear instructions Thanks Richard & B
  11. Out in my garage I have a raised hinge bonnet with no signs of general new rust. The paint has been stripped off and there are no accidental dents or bumps. Except the RHS has some old rust holes and the rear RHS corner is missing altogether about 9"' X 9" I am happy to let the new owner collect the bonnet from Sussex free of charge and I have two original petrol tanks which must be sold. One has the outlet on the LHS and the other has an outlet in the middle They have been sand blasted , and painted in black spray paint. How much are they worth?? Please let me know Richa
  12. I have a letter from M&S BANK asking for my bank account details so that they can make a refund of £65 which is the balance on my M&S Chargecard. There is a number 0345 ''' '''' but there is no sender address on the letter. If I do not reply it will go to charity. I am not willing to give my private bank details to a third party. Has anyone else had a letter from M & S banking team ?? Thanks for any advice Richard & B
  13. I am clearing out my garage and have some parts for sale.Tomorrow I will put the front apron on eBay. This was made by Moss and was on my car for about two years. I see that Moss are charging nearly £2,750.00 for new ones. There is no damage and the inside has ben rustproofed with a chemical product What price would create some interest ? Please send me some advice Thanks Richard & B
  14. About two months ago I lost my TR keys. Last week I was clearing up a pile of leaves in the garden about 24 inches high. Amazingly the keys were in with the leaves. There is a blue key fob and a RAC key , in case of a breakdown before mobile phones. These keys have been with me for many years and I feel that they have a margin of luck attached. The car is starting well and in my imagination the keys help. But the regulator and carb overhaul and new petrol pump are the main suspects. But the lucky keys help Richard & B
  15. Thanks for the feedback on the parts for my 1958 TR3A I have two fuel tanks and a Moss front panel. All in good order. Stoneleigh is a good option but I need to clear the garage in four weeks. So It looks like eBay. I will try in the next couple of days. Thanks Richard & B
