    Euro6 compliance

    Was it not ever thus? Perhaps your statement is increasingly valid when the prevailing administration appears composed of little but liars, opportunists and grifters. Anyway, I thought you were a tory?

    EcoTEC 832: Failure with F62 - dodgy PCB or Gasvalve

    My EcoTEC boiler stopped working yesterday with a F62. I have managed to do a reset and the problem has not resurfaced. Is it wise to stick with this and rely doing a subsequent reset should the issue arise again or should I get the engineer on to this ASAP? Thanks for any help.

    Parts For SpaceStar

    You might find it worthwhile to invest in a basic code reader. I have a Foxwell 301 which relatively basic model though it does allow a code to be reset in most cases. So for instance when your engine light illuminates then plugging in the code reader will yield one or more fault codes providing...

    What is the furthest you have traveled without using a plane on any part of the journey?

    You would want to live there with 4 more years of Trump on the agenda? I was there for about a decade but was happy to leggit when Dubya became pres. That nation has declined immensely since the turn of the century. To be fair, though, the same could be said of the UK.

    EV are they worth it?

    Have you chosen this type of vehicle in order that it is ULEZ exempt or do you just want to invade Poland? :unsure:

    EV are they worth it?

    Blimey, I nearly fell of my Parker Knoll when I saw that DNJ had actually posted a YT vid that demonstrated common sense, rational thinking and some positive recommendations to the Teslarati. Come on DNJ, you can do better than that. I want some vacuous gobshɨte, font of ignorance conveying...

    EV are they worth it?

    That's very interesting. I was vaguely aware of the Chinese funding (is it Geely?) - but the links with the XC90 is news to me. Actually, as favour I drove a neighbour's XC90 to some street parking when he was having his drive resurfaced - he was abroad at the time. It may not be reasonable to...

    Four kids...and another one on the way. A real fillip for the UK's genepool.

    EV are they worth it?

    I am sure the EV industry is quaking in its collective boots each time he posts. To digress slightly, I have taken a a cab into the West End a few times recently. Those EV taxis are pretty impressive. Very comfortable and pretty much absent of any noise. Far superior to those cr@ppy old diesel...

    Can't set Cruse control to 20 MPH, and not sure how accurate speedo is at that speed.

    On a more general point, do the brake lights come on when this happens? In other words are brake lights designed to operate whenever the vehicle brakes, which in the case you describe is part of an automated process, or only when the pedal is pressed?

    What about the one in your pacemaker? Or is yours the type you wind up?

    How do you know what needs doing each year at a service?

    What, your designed characteristics or the manufacturer's?

    How do you know what needs doing each year at a service?

    Then get a lower-viscosity oil - assuming its spec comes recommended by your car's manufacturer.

    Just how safe are EVs?

    I think you make some good points re EVs and their associated fear:fact ratio. The only point that I would take issue with is: For most vehicle users, EV's will be a better environmental choice over the lifetime of the vehicle (I can't remember the average carbon break even point for ICE and EV...

    Thermostatic bath/shower mixer - an experience of these models?

    I would like to obtain one of these deck-mounted mixers below. Does anyone have any advice as to whether there is much difference in quality between them given that they cover quite a range of prices? I guess the more expensive the model the more the internals are made from brass rather than...
