SEAT Arosa Puns

Hello! I found a Seat arosa 1.0 2000 at about 600£. The car has about 110k miles and it's well maintained. My question is, would you buy the aforementioned car with this mileage if you were a new driver with a low budget? Thanks

The oil warning light & buzzer occasionally comes on on my SEAT (VW lupo/polo based) just after starting the engine.

The level is bang on and it doesn't burn any oil. The engine had a full service including oil and filters just before I bought it a couple of thousand miles ago.

It seems to happen more frequently if the car is parked on a slope for a few hours, or on flatter ground for a long period of time. Turning it off and on again kills the warning and I generally don't see it more than once per episode.

Short of pulling the sump off, is there anything I can do to find out what's causing this?

Hi,

My cam belt snapped so I'm going trying to take the head off to see if its worth fitting a second hand one.

I've got to the point where I'm ready to undo the head bolts but don't know what sort of bit I need. Here's a photo of one of the head bolts; http://imgur.com/q0RIN2y

Also, instead of removing the right hand engine mount completely can I just undo the bolt in the head and slide the head forwards and out? Will there be dowels etc holding it in line with the block?

I'm a motorcycle mechanic by trade so know about engines but I'm a bit lost on cars. I can't see any marks to help with timing except for on a the scrap head. How do I know when the crank is at TDC, if the can is where it needs to be and whether they are both on the same stroke?

Thanks in advance.

I am just wondering does anyone know if a Seat Arosa is classified as an import in Ireland.

Hi, i've had my first car since march, and when i got it the first time (it's a 2001 seat arosa) i drove all the way home with it and stalled right when i got home, on a hill, and the car kept going back even tho i was trying to press the brakes, turns out the brakes get VERY hard when the car is stopped, i thought it was a normal thing with older cars but apparently not ? what could i do for that to stop, i'm giving this car to my mom to get myself a new one soon and i'd rather she doesn't have this issue.

A previous post on this sub didn't really get a clear answer and googling isn't getting a solid answer either

As far as my research has taken me it isnt road legal to swap any halogen exterior bulb with an LED due to the housing not having a suitable beam pattern. Also bulbs need to have the 'E' mark too

However, would changing the side indicators like this and number plate lights like this be road legal since it involves the entire housing being swapped (and so long as it complies with the relevant standards)?

Is the beam pattern stuff even relevant to the number plate lighting since it has to be bright enough and facing downwards anyway?

I did try calling my insurance and the person wasn't too sure themselves since the policy doesn't touch on indicator/number plate lights

Thanks

• Disclaimer: I have never set foot on the actual Glacier Express trains, but I have read up on it, done all of the route on regional transport multiple times, and spent weeks on end in some of the areas.

--- The Glacier Express (GE) itself ---

• The GE is a pretty standard entry on the top lists of scenic trains, a must do in most guide books, and probably the first train that most tourists would/could name in Switzerland.

• It is run by a private company, not by the Swiss federal train service (SBB), and what they do best is advertising. Like Jungfraujoch it is long, slow, expensive, and full of tourists who are convinced it is a ‘must do’ when there are many cheaper and easier options to get a similar experience. It certainly has many people convinced it is an essential experience. I have seen people go a bit crazy with planning trips around it: one couple I met spent 3 days in Switzerland, the whole time was given over to sitting on trains doing the GE or getting to/from the end points. So far I have never met a Swiss person who said it was a must do or even recommended it.

• It is an express train in the old fashioned sense of the word: meaning you don’t have to change. The average speed is about 36km/h (22mph), hence their tagline that is ‘the slowest express train in the world’. It would actually be an hour faster to go on a massive diversion up through the Flatland via Zürich on 4+ other trains instead.

• The glacier part of the name comes from the fact it used to pass the Rhone Glacier, but that stopped in 1982 when the Furka base tunnel opened allowing year round travel on the route (and even if it had stayed on the same line the glacier has retreated out of sight from the trainline now anyway). Now you can still see a few bits of various glaciers far above you along the route, but really it is about the worst way to see a glacier when visiting Switzerland (not least as you pass so close but out of sight of the mighty Aletsch glacier). If you want to see a glacier than you can take a cable car or mountain train up to various peaks with fantastic views instead (e.g. Gornergrat in Zermatt, Diavolezza on the Bernina line, or Eggishorn above Fiesch).

• The ticket is covered with a train pass like the Swiss Pass, but with a seat reservation required (with a fairly hef

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

The doctor says it terminal.

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

From a strictly solotravel point of view most of my time on this route has been solo. A few of the linked reports are from tours where I wasn't alone, but even in those cases the experience and what I did wouldn't have been very different to if I was solo.
