The tyre business was sold to Cooper Tire some time back.

Yes, they did deliver Avons.

That's interesting. I may have a look at a few more sites to see if that crops up.

Presumably by checking any possible suppliers for stock. Unsure what you mean. They were certainly unused. I didn't notice until changing them after the winter as I said above, so my first contact was with BC. I was in England when I bought them and they were delivered to a garage ( not...

Hi All Just asking if you have ever dealt with this company and what your experiences were ? I did this winter and things were not great. A short resumé of my experiences. 1) Ordered some unusual winter tyres - Nokian brand - computer said in stock and I ordered 2) Next day someone calls me...

I had exactly the same experience with a tyre fitted at KwikFit and for some reason I didn't make the instinctive jump to link the two: maybe there was other work done at the same time, but not by them I hasten to add. When I returned it, they tried to charge me for a couple of hundred miles...

Take care - they break easily ( especially when using your favoured tools :) )

My experience with o.e. or major-branded batteries is they last 7 - 10 years, so to that extent the minimum guarantee period is irrelevant I have no experience of other non-branded makes, but would tend to think they will not be so long-lived because : 1) unlike some products /brands (Nike...

PET ( Polyethylene terephthalate) Just rolls off the tongue, eh ?

Yes- you should change your name to footpump_masochist ( unless, of course, you saw without using the motor which would be really hard-core :giggle:)

Cat apart, what about all the other components in the system (valves, oil, exhaust ) that are going to be affected by very short spurts of combustion and the engine never really getting above ambient temperature ?

Well, my comment may have been pointed, but did you feel disrespected ?

Well that was a storm in the proverbial teacup . Sonic 70, do you go around complaining that not all the goods in Poundshops are not all one pound ?

Either they believe that this somehow binds you tightly to their system ...or... they are these dopey nerds for whom the "app" is the Holy Grail and getting people to download it, is more important than actually selling them power at a profit

Don't have such a thing in Germany.

At the moment nothing. It isn't going to be this score stopping the engine starting and I greatly doubt it will have any effect when it does run. Do what Mottie said about carb and fuel.

A German has driven 1 700 000 km in eight years in his Tesla Model S P85 but says his next e-car won't be a Tesla. He has had 13 motors replaced ( under eight-year warranty ) but says that nothing has been changed on the motors - no improvements - and there has never been any communication...

Also used to be called "muck-metal". Used for high-volume components ( therefore suitable for injection-moulding )that take no load.

Really ? I thought all cells were "welded" into one big lump, which would make that impossible.

Might be wort buying a cheap boroscope to have a look at the piston crowns to see if any impact damage. That would confirm/eliminate the greatest possible problem.
