Thanks for the replies! On the initial inspection and clean, I actually found a hole/crack which is probably the suspect. It's on the section where the felt rises to meet the flashing. Which probably corresponds to why it has being oddly intermittent. I have a small can of highly fibrous roof...

So the liquid and the membrane solution as per that video?

I have a flat roof on a attached outhouse. It is about 2.5m x 2.5m. So not a large area. It is a felt roof, in ok condition. Has had some patch repairs in the past. However in some type of rain (I guess certain directional rain) I seem to get a drip from somewhere. I don't want a whole roof...

Ahh, interesting! Thanks for the test. Maybe it's just movement of the steering wheel then.

I remember reading it somewhere when I went through a phase of being bothered about it not working. If it is the case, I imagine that it pertains to a certain degree of lock rather than just being slightly off centre. I would assume, and this is only just a guess, that it's just a safety...

Steering wheel has to be straight.

It's a minefield of marketing and things that you can deep dive into to the point of them being meaningless for the everyday person. Interesting if you like that thing, but overkill in terms of practical information. The key thing is you get the oil that 1) meets the correct weight, 1a) meets...

Correct oil is vital for a lot of modern diesels. Not the just the weight but the manufacturer spec. Your manual should say what the manufacturer specifically recommends. I've recently been servicing an old petrol ford Ka myself. Managed to get 5 litres of castrol magnatec for £26. Manual for...

The silhouettes are very similar, this is the cars centre aligned. You will probably find the shape of a lot of cars in the same segment these days is determined by CFD and Cd (Coefficient of Drag) targets. Manufacturers will come up with nearly the same solution/shape to achieve the...

Diesel oil goes pretty much black immediately after a fresh oil change. It's a common issue of people not believing the garage has changed their oil after service, as there is little visual way to tell. As an experiment a mechanic online did oil changes on a diesel until the oil ran...

The erroneous fail was regarding both front suspension strut bushes being excessively worn. They said it was a mix-up/input error from another car.

As per the title, The garage say they made some kind of mix-up and the initial MOT report had failure report. After telling me about the initial fail, I received a stressed call saying they made an error and would have to run the MOT again, which it passed fine. But, annoyingly, the original...

Just reviving this thread a bit, as I was planning to replace the rocker cover gasket as mentioned on page 2, but...I never got round to it. Now the weather is improving, I may give it a go. In the mean time, I found this rather nice video. My only questions are actually related to what I...

This is true, but it was a while ago, so I can't actually remember how long I stayed in the left lane before moving to the middle expecting the merge (which never came). The left lane may have actually been been X'd. I can't quite remember.

All I see on that second image is some odd diversion warning about Space Invaders

8 years later and the second relay may have failed......still have that spare!

Ahh, you are talking about the merge in turn lanes that are part of existing road infrastructure. Yes, these can be nasty little traps and people do abuse them at excessive speed. I take the approach that, if someone wants to do that, just let them, I just ensure there is a gap so it's as safe...

If the "misuse" is aggressively speeding, then sure...it's not a great thing to do. Dangerous and stupid. But they are not actually misusing the open lane, that is on everyone else for not using it in the first place.

Last year I encountered a ghost queue on the motorway. It was actually the most bizarre thing I have experienced while driving. The overhead gantry indicated all lanes except the outside lane was closing in a few miles. As per usual, everyone was already queuing in that lane. The tail back...

it's like a chicken and the egg
