  • Renault clio 04 manual sunroof leak (of course it does!) But none of the usual tricks have worked. 2 garages also failed.me!?

    So I have the typical clio sunroof leak. It wasn t my choice of car and will never have a su roof again.

    Have taken the glass out, earned out drainage pipes, silicone it shut and around where the plastic meets the roof but it still leaks! 2 garages have told me "there s no where for the water to be getting In" and consider that good enough.

    The problem is it still leaks! I can hear water sloshing when driving , can see a wet patch, usually passenger side above the front of the window ans behind the sun shade/visor and occasionally on the drovers side too, same place. It is yet to reach the middle but 2 years ago it started dripping through the interior light while I was on a long drive.

    Any ideas? It s got the point where I don t want to drive any more because I m worried the water is going to affect the electrics as the garages told me (while offering no solution !) And if I wake up in the night because it s raining g hard I struggle to go back to sleep because it s my first thought! I can t afford to get a new car especially since this one is going to be worth practically nothing. I want to wait until I can afford a low milage used car so I don t end up with another money drain!

    Thanks for any help.

  • Renault clio 2004 automatic engine cuts out occasionally/intermittently when stopping. Radio and lights stay on.?

    Twice in a week now the engine just stops. The first time I was about to pull away from work and the engine just cut out. Lights and radio stayed on. Turned it off and on again and it was fine.

    today it cut.out in the middle of a roundabout as I stopped (a van pulled out on me). Turned it off and wouldn't start. Tried several times, engine would rev when In neutral but as soon as put into drive it cut out again. Some guys jumped out of a truck to push and it got going and was fine Al the way to work.

    I'm a bit scared to drive home later incase It does it again!

    Any ideas?

  • I can t find a bra that fits me. Please help!?

    So, I ve lost about 4 stone in the past 5 months (due to illness not hard work or crazy diets!).

    I was wearing a 38 dd.

    I m currently wea ring 38d but the cups are bug and loose. 36 d and the cups too small. 36dd cups too small. 38 d cups way too big!

    I don t know what to do! I ve tried plunge, tshirt bras and balcony bras. My balcony bra is the best fit.

    My measurements are 32" underbrush /rib cage

    40.5 inch around my bust (wearing baggy cup bra)

    I ve gone from a 16 to a size 12.

    My boobs are not firm and perky and seem far apart. They sit low so I have my collar bones, then flat chest then my breasts. They pour over the top of a tight push up and sag in anything less supportive.

    Please help me!

  • How much tax / NI should I be paying? I currently pay none!?

    I have a 0 hour contract.

    Tax code 1000l

    I work different hours each week so pay is always different.

    I get a payslip each month.

    I have only paid tax once when I earnt over £1000 in one month (working 6or 7days a week)

    Since then I have not earnt more than £900 in a month and have not paid any more tax or NI.

    I work on a seasonal basis (10 months per year ) so dont earn £10000 a year. Should I be paying tax and NI?

    Also, last month they missed a weeks wages. So this month I will earn £850 ish plus an additional! £200 from last month. Last months pay check was for £555 so I haven t earnt more than £1000 in 1 month, will I still be taxed (it seems I pay tax when I earn over £1000 in 1 month). It doesn t seem fair that I lose money because of my employers payroll mistake!

    The onsite staff have been no help and I can t contact payroll directly.

    Please help. I am very stressed over this at the moment. I dont want to get a huge tax bill in April but I also dont want to have paid tax that I dont owe!

    Thank you for any help!

  • Doctor refuses to help me deal with period pain.?

    I'm 21

    Since I was 14 I have been having bad period pain.

    When I was at school and college it was bad but because it was just sitting all day I could keep on top of it, or take the day off!

    Nnow I'm working I am finding it really hard. I take paracetamol and ibuprofen as well as using heat patches (hot water bottles) on my abdomen and lower back as well as using ibuprofen gel. But still I'm in pain. I have a pretty high pain thresh hold but period pain is unbareable for 4 or 5 days a month. I would say that the painkillers take it from a 9 (hard to move and usually throw up at night) to about a 6 or 7. I work in housekeeping so very physical job and I can't afford to take time off.

    I avoid caffeine, alcohol, sugar and salt very strictly leading up to and during my period. Exercise daily, take hot baths and showers but nothing has helped.

    I told my doctor as I wanted to go on the pill and see if it helps. She told me period pain is normal and as I dont have other symptoms of something being wrong with my reproductive organs she will not prescribe the pill (unfortunately I had already told her I am not sexuallynactive) I asked if there was any other reason why I shouldn't take the pill and she said that period pain is not so severe that it warrants any more than over the counter treatments!

    It is severely reducing mynqualoity of life. I am miserable!e in pain for 1/4 of the year!

    Any help / advice would be great!

    Thanks.

  • Ive been in love with the same guy for 5 years...?

    We started out as friends maybe 7 or 8 years ago. I developed stronger feelings for him..

    I cant not see him because He means so much to me. I would do anything for him.

    Ive never told him but I think he knows. we can just look at each other and know what the other is thinking, even if we go a while apart. I dont know how he feels about me. I think he has feelings for me, the way he looks at me makes my heart skip a beat.

    I know its silly! I couldn't ever act on these feelings in case I lost him. And also because I care about him too much! I think he deserves better than I could ever give him.

    Although I am happy to have him in my life it does hurt sometimes to know I love him but wont ever be with him.

    There have been other guys over the time but I don't know how I can ever make it work with someone else while I feel this way. He is one of very few people oin my life who has never hurt me yet it hurts me the most.

    I dont really know what im asking. I just need to get it off my chest. any advice for me or anyone who has been in a similar situation that has come out the other side is gratefully welcomed!

  • why are parents under the age of 16 not prosecuted?

    I'm talking about cases where both parents are under 16 specifically so as not to bring into question of consent rape etc.

    In the UK it is illegal to have sex when you are under 16 yet still there are many parents under this age.

    For example if 2 15 year old have sex, the girl gets pregnant and gives birth while 15 why are they not both in trouble at all? In fact in most cades they are helped rather than being prosecuted for breaking the law. Any other crime would be punished.

    I would like to know if there is an actual reason why one is allowed to break this law and get away without any punishment?

    I'm also interested in opinions.

    I personally dont think anyone should be able to have a child they are incapable of caring for (whether it be because they are young / irresponsible, financially unable, mentally unable to provide the care and support, physically unable etc) because it is a huge drain on an already over stretched financially burdened world.

    Thank you for any help! I'm not looking to get into an argument / debate. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

  • I want to read the punisher comics, where to start?

    I would like to read them but where to start? Obviously the beginning, except I'm having trouble finding it!

    When I started reading the walking dead I bought volumes and That's what I would like to do this time, are they available? After looking online I have not been able to find the original series in volumes only punisher:warzone.

    When I've been into comic book store in the past and asked for advice the people always made me feel stupid and insinuated that I was just jumping on the bandwagon by getting into comics later and that it was just because of all of the super hero movies and success of twd TV show!

  • breast growth after weight loss.?

    I lost about a stone and a held and as expected my breasts got smaller. Only by a little, and I went from a 38dd to a 36 d.

    I am still over weight but now fit comfortably into a 14/16 UK and am continuing to eat healthily (most of the time) and exercise. I'm feeling pretty good!

    Anyway, a few days ago my breasts started to get really sore, at first it just meant I couldn't lie on my front but it got to the point where they ached ewhen just walking! I had to wear a T-shirt bra and sports bra so they didn't move to be comfortable!

    I thought it was because my period was due (yay!) As I have had tender breasts before but then I woke up yesterday and my breasts felt bigger, my bra cups didn't fit right and they just seemed fuller, rounder and more pert. Everything else is normal, no more pain, no unusual lumps or anything.

    I'm 20 years old.

    Were my breasts just growing again, causing the pain and I just haven't fully developed yet as I have heard breasts can keep growing into your 20s. My breasts feel normal, so I'm sure everything is fine. I just want to know if this is a common thing. I lost the weight over 3 months so not quickly and I did it through diet and exercise. The only supplement I take is aMulti vitamin with iron.

    thanks for any help.

  • I want to start running / jogging..?

    I want to start running / jogging in a bid to get fit.

    I gave up football a few years ago due to injuries but I have been thinking about taking it up again. I need to get fit before. I don't have the money for a Gym membership!

    The only problems are that

    1) I gave up football because I ave had multiple knee injuries, the last leaving me on crutched for 10 weeks. I was told over and over when i was young (10-12) to stop playing because of them and didnt listen. I know running will be bad for my knees! I live in the countryside and theres a nice dirt / mud track where i could run (I figure it will be less hard than pavements). I dont want to make my knees worse!

    2)I have Asthma. I was always told I might grow out of it. I was diagnosed at 2 and I'm now 20 and its just as bad as ever. I know many people dont let it hold them back but I hate feeling constantly ill. Its exercise induced and also gets set off whenever I have a cold / hayfever!

    Im pretty unfit now. Istarted skipping (jump rope) last summer for about 30 mins with breaks to stretch etc and have got pretty good but running just knocks it out of me! I also walk 2-3 miles a day with my dog.

    I dont know if my body will take playing football again but I have been miserable without it in my life for years (May sound stupid but ive come to realise that is the truth!) So I need to give it a shot just t see!

    Any advice for me?

  • I need help with bra sizing and styles please!?

    Ok, I have been wearing a 38dd for a while now, I was in a 38 d but noticed that the cups felt a little small. I got measured in store and was told to wear a 38dd.

    I recently lost a little weight, I thought my boobs seemed a little smaller but my 38d bra (I kept a couple of them incase I had any changes, some were pretty new and im a bit of a hoarder...) was still way too small. either half of my boobs hang out or the underwire is not under my boobs. I also notice that there is little to no support!

    I have been trying to look online for a good bra sizing. One I found said to measure underband size and move it up to the nearest multiple of 2. So my 35 became a 36 underband (I thought I was bigger, but I have lost a little weight so I thought its possible. I then measured my overbust and got 44. It said to take that number, and minus the underband which gave me 8. 8 on their chart went to an h! so my bra size would be a 36h! But I started looking into it because my dd cups seemed to be a little loose!

    I dont know how I can possibly be a 36h!

    have read an article (http://thatbradoesnotfither.com/post/45948053995/t... incase anyones interested) saying that cup size is relative so a 36c is the same cup volume as a 34d. I had never heard this. but even then I should only have been a 36dd or e.

    The only way I can get my boobs to look nice and lifted (they are quite firm but I wouldnt say particularly pert and uplifted even though im only 21!) is to have the straps really tight, otherwise they seem to move out to the sides rather than up and in! even with a push up bra. I dont know what to do, I dont feel like clothes look particularly good and I literally never have a cleavage!

    so does anyone have any advice? Ive been measured instores but I just dont feel like their advice is right as my bra cups feel too loose, they kind of gape at the top rather than being a nice smoothe line!

    If anyone has any advice on sizing or bra styles that are good I would be grateful! I generally avoid balcony bra styles as they never seem to fit!

  • hair style for a 50th birthday party tonight! please help!?

    I'm 21. Its a friends parents party, the kids are allowed some friends too but I do know his parents too.

    Its in the function room oif a restaurant.

    There's no dress code, in was told to "wear what ever you like".

    I've got a dress already, it has a kind if low racer back and I've got a nice tattoo so I was thinking of an updo. I dont really have a fringe any more but I usually leave some of the shorter buts at the front down. My hair is pretty curly so Unusual just leave it kind of mesy / wavy.

    I have a black rose hair clip but I'm worried its too much for a casual party? I'm assuming it will be casual... Im pretty rubbish at formal dressing, I tend to look a bit messy anyway! But it's fine because no know the parents pretty we'll, they know how I dress and told me I would look nice as usual whatever I wear (they're very nice! Haha)

    So if anyone has any ideas on hair ideas. Sorry I rambled on!

  • Couyld I be having a phantom pregnancy?

    I'm not entirely sure that even happens to people!

    But, I'm 20, have had my period for 6 years.

    Last month I had very heavy bleeding but no period pain ( bar a couple of twinges that paracetamol cleared right up) compared to my normal 5 or 6 days of pain that just won't budge!

    Then I've had a little bleeding and a little bloody discharge / brown discharge since (and between my last 2 periods).

    Lately I've been feeling really tired all of the time, but I can't sleep at night.

    I wake up in the morning feeling really sick!

    I've had some breast tenderness and sore nipples too.

    I didn't think too much of it, I've had insomnia before but it has never made me so ridiculously tired all day! And the nausea is weird. I was telling a guy I know about the sleep and sickness ( he kept asking if I was OK and wouldn't accept when I said yes, I try not to just randomly wings to people!) And he said as a joke that I must be pregnant or something. I laughed it off, I'm actually a virgin so there really is no way.

    I know its not really pregnancy symptoms as I haven't missed a period as of yet, but I have to admit, if someone told me my symptoms i would maybe think they were pregnant.

    If anyone has any ideas as to what wrong with me that would be great. I've also Been having some headaches / dizzy spells, feeling really hot but I've also woken up in the night with cold sweats! I'm travelling at the moment so can't just pop to the go (not that I've ever been too the doctors and coke out feeling as if they've helped me at all!)

    Thank you :-)

  • Do you think this guy likes me / is into me?

    I know this is an over asked question but please help me!

    I am 20, just travelled to Australia for 3 months.

    I met this guy through a sports club so will be seeing a lot of him.

    He's very sweet, the first person to actually come up to me to talk to me.

    He always offers me a drink, offered me a lift if I needed one while the person I'm staying with was away which was thoughtful.

    Tonight we had a long chat about generals stuff and I think he was flirty but I'm rubbish at telling, he laughed a lot, lots of eye contact etc.

    At one point someone said my name and he got all anxious and said, I've Ben calling you the wrong name! (Which I hadn't noticed!)" I've been calling you hayley, I was at school with a really hot girl called hayley so that's a good name". I laughed it off but the way he looked at me, and the way other people were looking made me think maybe he was trying to tel me I remind him of her? Was he trying to tell me he thinks I'm hot?

    I'm struggling because I cant tell if he likes me or if its just because he's a really nice guy! So if anyone can make any sense of what I've written and has an opinion I would be very grateful! I have a tendancy to imagine things that aren't and miss things that are! I wont see him for a week now and its on my mind the whole time!

    Also sorry about spelling etc, I'm on a touch screen that WO t let me go back and change anything!

  • How much rent should I pay to live in family home?

    I finished college (6th form) in July but didnt go to uni.

    A month ago I started an apprenticeship so I'm not earning much (£100 for a 40 hour week) and work Mon- Fri 9-5 which is fine for me as I'm still learning and look at is like an alternative to uni rather than a job.

    My question is how much should I offer to pay in rent or helping towards bills etc?

    I haven't been asked for anything as I know my family want me to save up my money so I can move out in the future and be more self sufficient not having to borrow.

    I pay for my own car, phone, any other luxuries I want like clothes, dvd's, music etc.

    Over the summer while I was applying for jobs (and getting rejeced! haha) I helped out aroundthe house with cleaning, cooking, driving my little brother around, walking the dog, gardening etc and I still do some of the cooking at weekends or when my mum is out but not as much as when I was unemployed because I go out at 8:20 and get home at about 5:45 most days when the cooking is underway!

    I have also just paid for next years family holiday with some of my savings becasue we havent been since the start of 2010!

    So how much money should I be giving for the bills etc, I have a 17, nearly 18 year old brother who contributes nothing to the house financially or helping with cleaning or cooking, does no drive and will not learn so everyone does everything fo him!

    I'm unsure whether I should offer a figure per month (between £50 and £100 maybe?) Or offer to pay oe of the bills like electricity, water or the sky bill?

    I can't afford to pay too much or I won't be able to save up anything and I will never move out!

    Thanks for any help, I'm just looking for everyones oinion and experiences to help me figure out what is fair an what would be an insult / look like im taking the piss by offering too little!

  • I had a weird dream, can any one help me figure out what it means please?

    I had a very weird dream last night, it was almost like a film more than a dream at first. I could see my favourite wrestler tied up on a cold stone floor being tirtured. He was covered incuts all down his legs, there was blood everywhere and a surgical mask / head scarf thing on the floor and he was barely moving but wailing in pain. This part was weird enough, and although I knows its not real it has been playing on my mind all day, I dont usually get bothered by weird dreams or horror films but this has kind of got to me.

    After this part I was outside, on my own, riding really small bike on a minature train tracks (Like the kind at a beach or theme park) and there was a rain behind me, like it was chasing me. There was a small child ahead of me and then they got off of their bike and went up to a really tall man (like huge, 15 feet tall) Wearing black robes. The guy fulls out a knife and the child dissapeared into some caves behind them. Then I realised that getting kidnapped by the man was then only way to help the wrestler (from the start. If I wanted to save them I had to get into the tortre place. It was a horrible feeling knowing I could save him but I had to risk being murdered and tortured. Eventually I did go up to the guy who pulled out the knife at which point I woke up.

    I was quite scared when I woke up and imagined hearing someone call my name in a creepy voice. I know none of its true but Im ocnfused by it. Im not worried because I was scared, just why would I imagine this and what does it mean?

    If anyone has any ideas and insight, amatuer or pro I would be very grateful, my dreams book doesnt cover this suprisigly...

    Im a 20 year old girl if that helps.

    Thanks in advance! If you need more detail please ask.
