Micra airbag warning light

On our way to Brackley today the airbag warning light came on in the car

"If you have the airbag light, it will show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it:

1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.
Nothing happens here.....just turn it on, look for the slow flash and continue

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again."

And it worked, first time!

Yes, we all think you're a tosser, reading a broadsheet on a crowded train.

Needs to have a zip coin section, an area for notes at the back and a flap over card area, preferably with a window to put my driving license in.

Ink refill

Just refilled the black ink cartridge on my HP 3050 printer (it's a 301 cartridge) and it was pretty easy and seems to be working fine.
The kit was £4.50 from tesco and has 90ml of black ink, I used about 7ml to refill but it was pretty dry so maybe could have got 15ml in if I tried again.
Better than £11 for a new cartridge!

Whoops

Jackie: you never said I looked nice today.

Me: why would I?

Doh!
