Have you ever heard the old saying: "practice makes perfect"? ;)

Make sure you electrically insulate them from any mild steel they could come into contact with!

That is truly amazing! (And heartening). All we need now, is for someone in China to tool up for the dashboard mouldings, carpets, seats, headlinings, glass...

Nobody's banning petrol. They're banning the sale of new cars that run on it. Ultimately, petrol will ban itself when we run out of oil, but if you're keen enough, and have deep enough pockets, no reason why you can't use synthetic fuel to keep a classic running forever!

Maybe have a look at the passenger carrying version of that vehicle, if there is one, and see if there's a plastic moulded infill piece fitted to the backs of the seats on those? If so, get a pair from a scrapper.

No, I don't like it. There seems to be a lot of confusion between the various systems: Lane Departure Warning - doesn't steer the car, it just beeps and / or vibrates the wheel or seat if you drift out of your lane. Lane Keep Assist - steers you back into your lane if you drift out. NOT the...

Yeah, to be honest, it's never done a track day in its life, and probably isn't going to stat now! :ROFLMAO: One of these days, if I can be fagged, I ought to try another set of pads in it from a different manufacturer, to see if they make any difference, but of course, I'd have to wait for them...

Yes, I did follow all the instructions on bedding them in. It's quite hard to "hammer" rear discs and pads to be honest. It's not a heavy car and the rears have very little work to do. The Reg 90 requirements only came in in 1999 and mine is a 1980s car. Prior to 1972, there's no legal...

I worry about some of the Brembo stuff these days. I think it might have gone a bit downmarket? Doesn't seem as good as it used to.

I've never caught one. I've always managed to miss them... ;)

Okay... ;)

That's grand, thanks.

Morning all, There seem to be quite a few roof coating threads but I'm being offered one called "Renotec". The house is 35 years old, roofed with pretend slates Marley Eternit, I think? They're a fibre reinforced cement type structure. I've been told they only have a life of about 30 years...

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: That's got to be the longest-winded, most conceited way ever, of saying "I drove into the back of someone"...:rolleyes:

Many thanks. Is that a brand or a style of slate?

Hi All, House bult in 1995 with imitation slates. I think they were Marley "Eternit" or "Rivendale"? They are a fibre reinforced cement material, with riven faces and edges to look like real slate and they're shaped like this: We've just had our roof cleaned and they've broken a fair...

Is that how you managed to "position" your car in the back of someone else's? ;)

Maybe not "always", but without doubt, shared platforms (and indeed, complete models) is becoming more common. It costs £billions to develop a decent new car from the ground-up, so unless a manufacturer can be confident or a run of at least a million cars, he's just not going to do it on his...

Mine has an NMC battery. The manufacturer's handbook is likely to have the best information in it. Mine advises 20-80% unless going on a long trip. The thing is, the manufacturer has to honour the 8 year / 100,000 mile warranty no matter how you treat the battery, so the cars have heir own...

You really are utterly clueless aren't you?! :ROFLMAO: Why did you bother fixing it if the system "re-balances" it to the other three wheels? I think you should have taken it for its MOT like that, so you could have "educated" the tester as to why it shouldn't be a fail...:rolleyes...
