Just wanted to give an update as we approach the end of our three year lease. We have an Ohme Home Pro which does the lion's share of our charging at home cheap as chips. For trips away, we have accounts with Instavolt and Tesla which both give discounts on the posted price. And yes, many...

TBF, it isn't, when you look on the "tax check" site. It only shows up if you look at the "MOT history" site.

Maybe not to do with your particular layout, but I have helped parents in law with the kitchen in their new bungalow. Ordered them lots of pull out baskets so they don't have to grovel at the back of the cupboards for stuff. Also, they want pull down baskets for wall units, so no reaching up...

I remember having a leak in the back box and taking it, funnily enough, to Mangoletsi, (who were just Alfa dealers in 85/ 6) for a new back box. You wouldn't believe how much better it drove with the new one on! Fast forward to 2023 and (completely coincidentally) that's where we got our new EV...

Maybe it changed, like my Alfa, after you sold it?

DVLA says 1972, but then it also thought it was orange, unless it had a colour change. My Alfa had a colour change. Obviously green when new... It's really quite odd because when my Grandfather bought the car, he sent me a die cast model of an Alfasud and I painted it purple! Little did I know...

Cool! Ti, isn't it?

Ah, my heart aches! The DS was way ahead of its time in 1955, as was the 'sud when it was unveiled in '71. Amazing vehicles, both. That's another one to add to my hangar! That R reg Alfa is not in the flush of youth...

Oddly, mine didn't have a rust issue. It had its quirks, like the inboard front discs, while servicing them, the Haynes manual says clockwise with the Allen key (or whatever way it was), but on one side it's one way and on the other it was the other way round. There was idiot me trying to loosen...

Yeah, even with prancing horses under the bonnet, I still preferred the Alfa.

Loved that car but was never in a position to get one. It was my favourite out of the Type Four cars: Alfa 164, Lancia Thema, Saab 9000, Fiat Croma. 85-86 I had a 'sud that had pedals heavily offset towards the centre of the car. It took some getting used to. As did the close spacing of the...

Which Alfa have you got?

I believe some EV tyres start life with less tread than others, 6mm. No suspension issues, it's a 3 year lease car with maintenance that has 4 months to run.

I'd use up the ply, I think. The measurements aren't critical under a carpet are they? If it's a milli out?

Talking of speeding, I read this just yesterday and was gobsmacked. Liberty Mitchell jailed for causing crash that killed two people - BBC News https://share.google/e0Cy23LRSyuQ98cJh

We used to shuffle tyres around. The tyre company our lease company uses won't do it. Our rears wore down to 2mm just a bit over 21K. The fronts are still fine at 27K. You may have guessed it's RWD. The factory fit tyres were EV ones.

Wow. The guy just doesn't have an off switch.

:ROFLMAO:

I've had 1970s pvc cable like that. And I have seen grey plastic cable from older houses looking a bit like pvc but not, labelled Ashathene. It used Polythene and was a precursor to pvc.
