I spotted it as I posted it. It was done on an iPad and I hate typing on those, though I don't think it was an auto correct, I just pressed too many 'A's.

I left it in because I figured it'd look good in this very thread...

And the "pearlers" ?

Too many 'A's?... OooooooKay!

Typed on my iPad.

Yes it was supposed to say 'gangsta'.

That isn't a real word so the iPad didn't want to do it, my attempts to correct it went awry and given what I was saying and the reference to this thread I just left it.

Well, there you of it.

It should've been obvious that was a piss take of a post a few back in that thread.

It is now!

You just feel stupid because you got caught out not being thorough enough.

You won't get sympathy here im afraid just get over with it.

Ok, I probably need a parrot here I guess. What about it?
This is what I was referring to:

If there's a different spelling then I hold my hands up to a whoosh because I've spelt it like that all my life....

Looks like they're making things up!
From the Oxford dictionary:-

Definition of purler in English:

purler
Pronunciation: /ˈpəːlə/
NOUN

British informal
A headlong fall:
the horse went a purler at the last fence
More example sentences
Origin

Mid 19th century: from dialect purl 'upset, overturn'.

Oh well. I can honestly say I have never seen it spelt that way. I've only ever seen pearler. Even the iPad doesn't like purler, it tries to change it to lurker.

Although, that description you posted doesn't really describe the meaning in the context I used it.

I bet if I had actually used purler it would still have ended up in this thread, so I probably can't win here. Next time I'll use 'corker' instead....

There are a depressing number of people (too many to quote) in the "Porsche 718 Boxster's biggest failing" thread in General Gassing banging on about "heal and toeing"

The other day when probing with my meter i got a volts reading of 12 going into the old relay and 10 coming out, to the indicators, strange i thought but i assumed it was an anomoly.

Then today, when i removed the insulation tape on loom i came accross an 800 ohms resistor crudely soldered in series with the cable running to my indicators.

Is this wrong? It should be wired in parrallel to increase the current, shouldnt it?

Please confirm/ deny my knowledge as its bugging me that im wrong.

Anyway i desoldered it out and stuck my new relay in and all works well so im a happy chappy!

Cheers
Ben
