Hi Grant

Although you should never let the facts ever get in the way of a good Story, that Shower Gel was Pre-GF and only used by me.

Gone are the days of the 10 minute Shower even resorting to using Washing up liquid sometimes, as nowadays Bath Time is a much more complicated affair.

Where the only liquids allowed must be:

(A) Expensive and (B) Contain Exotic Perfumes, that have been extracted from Plants and Trees that I have never heard of.

But it doesn't end there, Oh No!, as no Bath Time would be complete with out a couple of dozen 'Tea Lights' carefully placed around the edge of the Tub.

'No I don't know why either!'

Not sure if its to keep me out, or stop me getting out when I get in.

As for the 'Mincer' which I broke, when trying to use the suction base as a mount for a Camera, 'Thanks for bringing that up!'

In the end it cost me plenty, when I had to replace it with one of those Bullet Juice Extractor 'Thingys'

Where working late into the Night the GF has been perfecting various drinks and Smoothies that could make you want to throw up, just by looking at them.

 

OB, before ypu make yourself look like an idiot in the shop buying parts

It is called Dexron (without the t) and not 111 but III aka Roman 3. It is only the specification code from GM. GM used the name 'Dexron', Ford 'Mercon', ZF uses 'Lifeguard'.

As such, Dexron III is technically ALWAYS a mineral oil based fluid. Synthetic will maybe fullfill and even go beyond the specifications, but won't necessarily be a proper Dexron III.

Everytime I saw that combination, my eyes really started to hurt and this has been itching for a long time but don't get me wrong mate, please

 

Agreed,

We have it easier here now.

Dex 3 is the common labeling.

Multi Vehicle Transmission Fluid is also a very common labeling, and almost always on Full Synthetic containers.

DOUBLE POSTED, AS "IT" AND I HAVE A LUV HATE RELATIONSHIP, USUALLY THE LATTER.

#1424 below is the one to read.

 

We get it easy down here.

"Dex 3" is the labeling norm, and yes it is always Mineral.

"Multi Vehicle Transmission fluid" is also very common, and is always Full Synthetic.

I have been using the Full Synthetic in everything for a very long time. Makes it easier for the brain cells. Same as Dot4, in everything.

No more trying to remember?, remember what??, forgot already, not important then.

 

Hi Daim

Put your eyes back in their Sockets, I've corrected my Spelling mistake (I think?) but now I'm even more confused than I was before.

If Dexron III is a mineral Oil and I want to use Synthetic, do I just ask for Dexron III Synthetic or has it got a totally different name?

One of the reasons being that I'll be ordering 'Click and Collect' and if you accidentally order the wrong stuff, its complicated for them to change it over.

 

Basically just type into Google 'aynthetic ATF Dexron III'. The Dexron III is only a spec, like 20w50 is the spec of the oil used for the V12

Google will then spit out some synthetic automatic transmission fluids with the approval of Dexron III spec.

As said, Dexron III is in it's original form purely mineral oil based. Modern synthetic versions are available.

 

Thanks Daim

Got it now

Cheers!

 

Heh OB. I use this to fill up my PS Fluid Tank. It kinda crumples out like an accordion and can snake around the pipes.

 

Hi Bro

I've got one of those funnels but I found that my Pump Action Shower gel bottle is better for doing that job.

As you can keep it in the wing piece of the boot, just in case you need an emergency top up.

 

Fair call. Just don't give the GF the funnel to use for the bathroom as a replacement for the bottle you "commandeered" though ha ha ha

 

Hi Paul (ptjs)

Of course you are right but '50 Shades' my Grey XJS although not my favorite one of the two (that are running) is a little bit Special.

Only one previous owner and a FMDSH to die for!

Spent all her life in a heated garage, never seen rain, I could go on but you get the idea!

Keeping her outside would be a Sacrilege and I never normally drive them during the Winter, with so much salt on the roads.

The Tools I've got are only worth a pittance compared to the Cars, so it would probably be better to find somewhere to keep the Tools until Spring.

 

Hi Bro

Much more than my life is worth to go interfering with her stuff (again!)

 

UNDER the bed, safe and warm.

 

tried one of those.... it has been rejected for a much more compact and efficient model that I keep in a bucket in the trunk... the bottom of the bucket lined with paper towels... ( I keep two of them in fact) to absorb
drips. not nice stuff that PS-fluid for you carpet or metal.

 

Does that include my Power Hacksaw and a Floor Standing Pillar Drill?

 

Yeah that is a good point. The bloody thing does drip. I have to curl it upwards and put a rag on it in my boot. My poor old boot actually needs a carpet clean

 

Absolutely - how else are you going to prevent them from rusting in winter..............

 

Hi Jonathan

Sounds as if you could have a bit of a Power Steering leak to contend with, as a funnel and a bucket does seem a bit extreme!
