car problems and progress

Yesterday I went to get the car checked out: after the latest maintenance it was always stalling. It turns out that there are two sensors on the clutch: one to give the amount of depression and one that indicates that the clutch is fully depressed. This one was stuck, so the clutch would never disengage and the engine would stall.

So a quick pull to get it unstuck and now I can use my clutch-by-wire again :-).

In other news: conservatives might be slightly annoyed that Belgium today voted that after the right to 'marriage' holebi (Homo, lesbian and bisexuals) couples now also have the right to adopt children. Together with the right to euthanasia I think this turns Belgium into some hell-on-earth for them :-).
