Which is of course about two-thirds of the age of the average GEM member. :giggle: It also provides Good Motoringwhich simply must be the dullest motoring magazine in the history of publication. Note lots of ads for Stannah Stairlifts and haemorrhoid ointment. :mrgreen: More seriously, though...

Where do you arrange the point of contact with the vehicle? Presumably you place a wooden board on top of the said bricks to make contact with the car bodywork at (I am guessing here) the sides of the car?

Well I was not meaning to be chippy, exactly, but just feel slightly eccentric that I possess such an 'obscure' item. In anycase, my tyres seldom require any boost as the pressures seem to remain pretty constant. I suppose if most folk have access to several vehicles then the auto-inflater makes...

Sorry if I am missing something here, guys, but am I to believe that I am the only person in the world that still uses a manual footpump?

Except that he is referring to 50 cars at the dealers with the same problems. 50? At a single dealer? That is not simply a failure of the dealer - this must surely result in a manufacturer's recall & repair and for Kia to have done otherwise would appear to just be sweeping the issue under the...

Probably best to avoid Kia motors if this is anything to go by.

Could maybe whip out the sparkplug and give a good clean...perhaps even replace altogether.

I am sort of guessing that you are not on George Monbiot's Christmas card list? :giggle:

Presumably the lube is a synthetic type, though cannot see any confirmation of this on the image? Also, does the Yaris Cross have an Atkinson type engine? Thanks.

This is a rather interesting comparison of diesel off-roaders v an couple of converted Tesla powered Defenders[/url], after a day's mud-plugging in Wales. It is not entirely clear (to me) as to what charge remains in the EV's battery* but it appears remarkable that with this sort of vehicle you...

But do they not self-destruct after 60,000 miles?

Got a local bus timetable?

A bit harsh, Avocet. The BX shape came from the pencil of one Marcello Gandini and he hasn't half designed some cool stuff over the years. My only experience of the model was a mate's GTI version which he had for a few years. Pretty decent performance but I think it was eventually taken by the...

Presumably seduced by the contents of the sump being everlasting. :eek:

Whatever, that’s a decent explanation and your method sounds entirely plausible,. In contrast, though, whilst I try to do most maintenance jobs on my motor, wheel-bearings I would tend to leave to the garage. I always feel that the torque loads required here might shake the car of its axle...

Very interesting. This is the sort of thing I print off and nail to my garage wall for future reference. That said, is it not rather a profound pain in the gonads to continually bugger around with metre long bars and various weights etc? Also some of those torque wrenches do look rather smart...

Thanks, gents...very useful. Will order one of the above. (y)

I think the idea is that if you required to use the hatch space to carry a disposable load some distance when you have dumped the load you have the option of retaining some privacy of the hatch contents. Of course, this presupposes that it may be inconvenient to store the parcel-shelf elsewhere...
