Signals should be off months ago, at least that's my impression.

No idea, I haven't looked at my bill for years. So, the silly monkeys take whatever they want. My strategy is different to yours. I reduce consumption where I can: no tumble dying all year round, accumulate more clothes for washing, etc.

My submitted reading a couple weeks ago still has a changing night counter. There shouldn't be any next time.

If it's confirmed to work, why not? I didn't have any at the time. Since I was forcing it, I suffered tunnel vision and kept going. I already resigned to the possibility of paying £20 odd for a new china one. But, everything is clearer on hindsight.

Here's one for mottie. He laughed at me for saving 50p on valve stems. For a few pennies more, I fixed the rain sensor enabling the auto wiper to work again. I did make a dog's dinner of it, with air bubbles and fractured lens plate. But luck would have it that the bubbles and the fractures...

I have 2 china gauges that agree and a 20 year old michelin gauge that's 0.15 bar higher. My money is on the china gauges being correct. Temperature might have an effect, but the effect would apply to all wheels at each reading interval. Reg2 was inflated using the mich under burning sun and...

I don't string out things, but I am extremely thorough when dealing with issues that affect my convenience and economic wellbeing. So, here's the data I based my assessment on, to save people making wild guesses. I expect reg2 to race to the top of the leader board of air losers. 2026-07-21...

The play wheel acts as a control for measurements. It was the earliest to be done and it held the highest pressure at the end. The shop jobs are leakers.

OK, in a 2 week time test, all the wheels have lost some pressure. The best performer is the play wheel. The worst performer is the regular wheel number 2 that had confirmed bead leaks. A reinspection was made on the regular wheel number 1, and no obvious leak was seen on the beads before I ran...

If you know so much about balancing and have access to the best balancing machines out there, why are you the one having vibration problems and not me? I stick to the speed limit of 50 or 70mph, and I get no vibrations whatsoever. I go slightly out of town for shopping in order to get free...

Which post # did you explain anything on? Mottie only explains he's here to not tell me anything.

I reckon what you experienced was a psychological phenomenon. If you so want to believe something, you start seeing/feeling it. I have never experienced any vibration issues regardless of where I got the tyres done. Or, the vibration was so slight that my keen senses were never triggered. Tyre...

Since I don't exercise, putting wet clothes on rack is same as getting a free entry to the gym.

This should be the final spend on the project. This will be used on the play wheel for practicing non-metal-metal contact between pry bars and rim face + edge. If this succeeds, DIY tyre change will be possible. I am not concerned about paint damages on the non-visible part of the rim - these...

My indoor 0 kW rack dryer completed drying for a machine load in 24 hours. I suspect this kind of drying will be made illegal one day because it causes climate to change by releasing moisture into the environment.

Where does someone need to drive to and at what speed would someone benefit from this dynamic balancing?

Alternative to bubble balancing.

Which engineering principle tells you to add weight to the face side of the rim even though that side is already heavier? Cars under my care are appropriately maintained using the right parts, unlike yours that was overheating with the wrong radiator.

I changed my mind. I would put weights only on the inside because the wheel is always unbalanced and fall on its face because more weight on that side.

Why would you put weights on inside and outside when you can just put them in the middle? Sounds like you just want to manufacture problems. I have used small shops with no sophisticated equipment. Their balancing had been fine. If there were issues, I would have noticed. As you know I am at one...
