    Christ man, you really project a full-on image of a C19 version of a bile-spitting, knuckle-dragging, burn-the-unbelievers version of Mark Drakeford. As for the 20 mph speed limit you mentioned a while back, it clearly wasn't appropriate if the boyos government thought it apprpriate to lower it...

    Puncture repairs

    If that is total tread depth - and not just usable- then on a cost per mm tread, the new tyre ( inc fitting ) is both better value monetarily ( inc fitting ) and you have the advantage of running on a newer, less puncture-prone tyre.

    Yes, that has the same ring of truth as Starmer's frequent assertion that he's working-class as his father was a tool-maker, thereby smoothing over the fact that he was a tool-maker who owned and ran a factory emplying tool-makers.

    The last sentence deserves grounded argument and not simply an assertion. Clearly COVID had a massive impact: national debt as a percentage of GDP rose by 10% and the state will therefore be paying billions more in interest payments. You can then add to that the billions ( up to £ 10 Bn ? ) that...

    No, no. They have announced their INTENT to introduce it .......................in 18 months. The 500e is built in the Mirafiori plant in Turin, and a job-guarantee contract runs out in December. Stellantis also has disastrous sales figures with Jeep, Dodge and Ram in the USA down to very poor...

    Gosh - never heard of that. I guess it will be multo expensive unless your deal includes servicing costs.

    Unsure how you are going to manage that. This info isn't published and manufacturers usually ( always ) insist suppliers remove any identifying marks except those required by purchaser for QA purposes.

    When the dealer says "part exchange to clear"

    Just a "come-on" like the nonsensical "first-to-see will buy ". No effect on legal rights.

    What do you recommend , John ? I agree that these 15 000/20 000 manufacturer intervals are ridiculous, but would you drop to 5 000*/ 1 year as some internet sites ( Scotty Kilmer ) say are what's needed ? He doesn't directly state it, but think that's for town -driving, as he also often comments...

    Ford KA - could anybody please list EVERYTHING I'd need to change brake pads?

    Always remember my anger when I was changing brake-discs for the first time ( some long years ago ) and found that I neeeded a hex-key in a socket to continue, and Haynes just spoke about "undo fastenings " Really ****ed off as it was about 16:00 on a Saturday afternoon in October and Halfords (...

    Is it safe to drive?

    I have had this happen to me several times with my Vectra and whilst several of the clips along the bonnet-line have broken , there remain several unbroken which I have pushed back into position. You can use self-tapping screws ( maybe with large washers ) in most places. Following the first...

    Vehicles reporting data back to base

    Possibly, but I'm sure it would be completely illegal as you would have modified all the protocols incorporated into the homologation, as well, of course, as having to find ways to duplicate the control;s of the ECU and other computer modules. Probaly more work than just a few quiet winter nights.

    Vehicles reporting data back to base

    I would guess that they are very much at the forefront. BMW has had a reputation for decades for being very geeky and wishing to push ahead with electronics.

    Squeaking from front right tire

    Good example of when distinguishing between "brake" and "break" correctly, does make a big difference in meaning.:whistle:

    Tesla magic running low

    I was reading an article in a German magazine last week which reports that Tesla is storing thousands of cars on disused airfields as there is no more space at its Brandenburg Gigafactory. What puzzles me here is that, for lots of years now, car companies in general have claimed to only produce...

    and I would say that he has shown himself, by his many, many outlandish actions , to be a worthless human-being which is obviously unaffected by his astronomical fortune

    But even if his call is answered in a reasonable time, will they deal with him, since he is not the owner of the car ?
