Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[Bibio]

gws Bill.

I know I don't know you in person but I still find it rather upsetting (probably less so than you do tho). Thoughts are with you. If you're going to have an operation, I can't think of a better place to have it than a hospital!

Oi Bill rest up like they've been telling you or we're all gonna come over there and gaffer tape you to the hospital bed till you're properly sorted!

Get well soon mister and keep us posted on progress.

Coolant leak from the car, good job I'm on holiday & don't need the car

I had a funny feeling it was going to happen too, but no prior indication.

Hope its just a hose, not the rad, but I can't see where its coming from until I get it up on the ramp.

This is exactly why I check all my under-bonnet fluid levels weekly. Spotting a drop in the expansion bottle helped me find a leak before the warning lights (hopefully) come on so well worth doing.

Hope the fix is not too expensive.

Well I can't see were its coming from, because like most modern cars, access is very tight, both from the top & under, had it up on the ramps, got some coolant in my eye for my trouble

The size of the drips makes me suspect (& hope) that is a hose that's gone, plus the radiator is quite well protected.

But its a garage job, just for ease of getting the job done.

Cars 12years old now, so hoses would have degraded over time

Sounds more like a water pump bad.

Not my fault this time.
They think it's an infection in my small intestines. Was part of the large intestines I had removed last month.
Hopefully that's all that's wrong but it's a guess because they can't do the normal tests due to complications from all the other problems I've had.
They are putting me back on soft food today as well as some antibiotics. If that doesn't work the only other option will be exploratory surgery but they won't do that until it's life threatening due to the high risk so hoping the current plan works or I might be stuck in the hospital for a while.
Good news is if it does work I should be well in a few days and cleared to ride again! !!
Plus I've lost the weight I was going to try and lose this year so happy with that.

Getting bits of your body removed is a bit extreme though Bill!!

There are easier ways
