    Don't Buy One Of These

    BMW advised that it's because they spend a lot of time idling, apparently they leave the engines running when at crime scenes with the blues on. Then as soon as they've finished that job they hoon it to the next crisis. BMW couldn't find a fix because it is due to the packaging of the car...

    Wipers on Mitsubishi Space Star

    Does very much sound like worn linkages. Won't be a 5 minute job and finding replacement might be tricky. If you do find replacements could always strip them down and any loose bits repair one way or another by inserting machined sleeves or such like.

    FACOM tools

    I'm not sure your statement is true but likely just your opinion. Stahwille and hazet are OE for many manufacturers (mostly German) most notably MTU, mercedes, BMW and VW group to name a few, they are designed and mostly made in Germany. They certainly are not mid range, but they cater to very...

    FACOM tools

    Britool, facom, Stanley, Mac tools, black and decker, DeWalt (maybe some others ) are all owned by Stanley tools. Facom are the elite tools brand, stupendously expensive and not stocked at a great deal of places Mac tools are sold to garages on a snap on esque van. And are equivalent to snap...

    Sturgeon red faced... Using trans people for political gain..

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-64288757.amp I agree with this decision, the system would be open to abuse, and 16 year olds shouldn't be able to make such a life changing decision. Lastly women's rights shouldn't be pushed aside in favour of trans.

    Not always, most likely not in MOT test conditions where it is run and rev'd with no load

    Oil Light Randomly Illuminating On FR-V

    Sometimes a thicker oil can be a permanent fix, however need to keep the oil spec otherwise the dpf will bugger up. Try the sensor first see what happens

    Oil Light Randomly Illuminating On FR-V

    not always tbh, not necessarily to a noticeable amount. and a small amount of oil burn wouldn't always show up on mot emissions (this is true as there are many cars that burn 1 ltr of oil every 1000 miles which most if not all manufacturers advise is acceptable oil consumption, audi/vw group...

    Oil Light Randomly Illuminating On FR-V

    It's odd to be sat around for 2 years. Can only tell by the vin number on a parts system. Honda should be able to confirm for you. It might not have a dpf, which would indicate the injectors over fuelling. Sometimes if it really bad you will see the oil level on the dipstick increase if it's...

    Oil Light Randomly Illuminating On FR-V

    Just looked at an old post of yours and see it's a 2009 frv, I see that dpf's are listed for it. So this is another avenue to look down, when a dpf requires a regen one way to do so is to over fuel so unburnt fuel finds itself in the exhaust, this gets trapped in the dpf and causes it to heat...

    Oil Light Randomly Illuminating On FR-V

    What year is it? Oil lights connected to ECUs is believe it or not a relatively new thing. Usually there a sensor on their own not connected to anything else. Does this vehicle have a dpf? When diesels get long in the tooth the injectors do play up, but they hide it well. In an ideal world...

    Oi, you, get back to work!

    This aswell, over the years we've had people who have been offered full time positions for them to then turn it down because their benefits would get stopped, and they had a better work life balance because the benefits topped up their wages. Their words were why would I work twice the hours for...

    Oi, you, get back to work!

    i was born mid eighties, my grafting years were early 00's, the issue appears to be those from around 2006. i still regularly work long hours, it's noticeable against those that don't in the business.

    Oi, you, get back to work!

    as i said, from the previous 4 apprentices that have walked through our workshop doors the work ethic is definitely not their, certainly not in engineering, may be different in other trades.

    Oi, you, get back to work!

    When I was younger I worked my balls off, often doing as much overtime as possible more often than not I'd volunteer to do shifts no one else wanted and work 7 days. I done it because it paid for the things I wanted it also put me in good stead with the bosses meaning when I needed a favour I...

    lol maybe the old see things different to the youth.. I think it is time for H & M to now be quiet regarding the past. I watched the ITV interview yesterday, and i couldn't help but think the whole process seems eerily similar to what Dianna done. anyway the guy doing the interview asked why...
