    The study of a radiator

    You maybe out to get a grownup to help you read my posts. There you go. I've highlighted the important bit that you missed... :rolleyes: Of course you can...:rolleyes:. I believe you - every word! :ROFLMAO: The only thing you've "felt" recently, was the back of someone else's car when you...

    Tyre Rotation, any point?

    They wouldn't have had a leg to stand on, had there been an accident.

    Leapmotor

    :ROFLMAO: Built by Stellantis in Spain (Vigo)! (And I can assure you, about as Japanese as my Alfa)! Toyota and PSA have been collaborating for many years. It always cracks me up how some people won't touch a Citroen C1 but would pay extra for a Toyota Aygo! They were built at a jointly owned...

    Leapmotor

    Should be 6 hours of cheap electricity per night with Intelligent Octopus Go.

    Leapmotor

    It's a Peugeot Partner with a Toyota badge stuck on it. You won't have to worry about spares availability!

    Leapmotor

    It's standard because it's a legal requirement in the UK.

    The study of a radiator

    That's poor advice. It's essential to use a fluid conforming to the specification prescribed by the manufacturer. You really should know that by now... :rolleyes: Ah... but you see, when you're a proper engineer, rather than just an "armchair engineer", you're not as susceptible to the...

    The study of a radiator

    Oh... is that what they told you too? :ROFLMAO:

    The study of a radiator

    Is this before or after my EV sets itself on fire? :ROFLMAO: And why did you say it was due to "infrequent use" when you meant "inappropriate fluid"? Were you lying, or do you just have cognitive problems?:rolleyes:

    There certainly isn't, Nutjob, there most certainly isn't... ;) :rolleyes:

    The study of a radiator

    :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :rolleyes: Thanks for that sage advice... You remind me of the lad at school when we were all just passing our driving tests. He managed to crash his dad's car into the school wall one day, and then, instead of dying of shame, went strutting around...

    The study of a radiator

    It's DOT 4 brake fluid made by a company called ATE. It's up to you how much of the rest of the manufacturer's hype you want to fall for! If you still have the handbook for the car, it's likely to have recommended lubricants and fluids in it - "Castrol", "Total", "Girling", etc). Might also...

    The study of a radiator

    Are you as meticulous about changing your brake fluid as you are about changing your engine oil?

    Trailer Build

    When I was little and my gran had really bad rheumatism, I offered to make her a Lego walking stick. In retrospect, I'm quite glad she politely declined...

    Trailer Build

    Yes, always a problem. I have an ancient (really!) twin axle dropside trailer with 2 tonne suspension units and tyres on it, but if I filled it with wet sand, level with the top of the sides, I could get it to weigh 6 tonnes! On the other hand, filling it with firewood to the same level, it's...

    Tipo stat housing spout

    I think all the plastic ones break, sooner or later. Might be a pig in a poke?

    Trailer Build

    The IVA requirement is an interesting one. It is absolutely correct that if you want to build a new trailer today, you need to get an IVA test done on it before you can legally put it on the road. The requirements aren't difficult. The Inspection manual is available here...

    Tipo stat housing spout

    I don't know for certain, but my daughter had a Punto once, and it looks remarkably similar. I bought the complete assembly as a replacement made by Wahler for about £30 (which was a few years ago now), when the plastic spout on hers snapped. It came with a brass spout instead of the plastic...

    The study of a radiator

    Does it have a rear load sensing valve in the braking system? (Or a pressure-limiting / reducing valve)? Which way is the braking system split on that car?
