I'll make my decisions on the facts I research on a daily basis as part of my job, a tiny bit of which I've posted on here. That's significantly more than can be said for what you've posted. You can follow what the corporations tell you and continue do their dirty work for them. The hypocrisy...

No idea what that means and I'm going to assume it's not worth my time finding out. I guess applying irrelevant childish labels to stuff you don't like is more important than education or evidence based reasoning. Some people are just content repeating what they hear and being corporate shills...

I don't need to use google to find scientific papers, I do environmental impact assessments for work. I write the papers. I use UK government, international government, metrological, university, and other independent databases for my research. Most importantly, all data is independently peer...

if it was the fuel filter related, I imagine you'd lose power when you floor it and eventually go into limp mode. Don't think it would cause shaking though. I would take a guess at worn engine mounts or a damaged/buckled driveline. Probably best to take it to a mechanic, I doubt it'll be an...

First off, your numbers are wrong. The research estimates it's around to 3-4%, whether or not you choose to believe it's science or misinformation is up to you. Secondly, the ecosystem is about balance and CO2 emissions are cumulative. 3-4%, not much by itself but as any stock investor will tell...

If you don't mind how the rust spots look you can just use clear nail polish for a quick and dirty "fix". Just apply it over the rust spot and a few mm of the surrounding area and job done. Probably better to buy some cheap stuff than use the wifey's though! Seals the rust spot from water and...

Looks good, I think a some small chipping is unavoidable no matter the method. Generally not that noticeable once it's been grouted. I would have thought stones would cause further chipping or scratches to porcelain, especially if it's a traffic area, although I've only used porcelain wall...

Good advice, I just cut a line in with a multi tool and diamond grit blade (sprayed the tile first) then broke off the strip with tile nippers. Bit of faff but wasn't difficult. I had a nook that was 2 and maybe a quarter tiles wide and the back is a different tile to the sides. The 15mm rip...

The point is that the strategies are implemented to appear green and environmentally friendly for re-election, not actually to benefit people. They make it so you cannot drive into the city but cut public transport services at the same time. In Glasgow, if you stay anywhere other than the posh...

Pretty is being used as an adverb to indicate a quantity (e.g. pretty sure we've met before), not as a verb to describe the look of something (e.g. that's a pretty colour). It's also policies like clean air zones. Stop people driving into the city but also cut public transport services and...

I bought a cheap score and snap cutter from Lidl for £15 the other week. I was looking at electric tile cutters but I had plenty spare tiles and the tiling job small, so I figured the saving was worth a shot. Considering the price, I set my expectations accordingly. Worst case, I'd damage a tile...

Brexit killing all cheap imports and cost of living/excessive inflation will take out the budget chains first. Although paperchase and house of fraser were more gross mismanagement than anything else. Won't be long before we're all fighting for turnips in the dark while the trillionaire tory...

I've been working on getting a wood burner installed in my old Victorian tenement fireplace and it's mostly complete. Unfortunately the tiles I've bought arrived completely smashed twice so I've had to get the stove installed before finishing the tiling. The walls of my fire recess are not the...

What is it you think a glow plug does that it doesn't have a bearing on fuel consumption? It's a common misunderstanding of how glow plugs work to think they're for starting an engine only. They're used to regulate combustion chamber temperature when the engine is cold, such as but not limited...

The DPF and EGR share the same warning light in VAG cars iirc. A single faulty glow plug won't really do much noticable to the car, might effect efficiency a little. Two faulty plugs and you'll likely have difficulty starting in colder weather and higher fuel consumption. Took my car 3 months...

a table saw is a similar concept to a electric tile saw so I imagine it would work if the diamond blade fits and is cut slow, but don't take my word for it. A bigger concern is the copious amounts of crystalline silica dust the table saw would kick up cutting porcelain slabs, which is very bad...

Glow plugs are wear parts like spark plugs and need replaced over time, albeit less often than spark plugs. A simple OBD scanner will tell you the code and which plug is giving the fault, however it's better to change all the glow plugs as when one goes, the others won't be far behind (assuming...

turns out the stove won't stick out as far as I thought it might, so I've went for the cement board option to save me the trouble. Plus I wasn't overly keen on using tile adhesive as render. Felt a bit cowboy/cheap If I use mechanical fixings, I take it I'll need metal wall plugs? Also, is...

I'm planning on tiling the left and right sides of my fireplace and I'm needing tips on how to finish the edge neatly. The fire recess is not right angled, it's an acute trapezoid (thanks google!). Someone recommended that I build out one of the side walls so the two side walls have matching...

ah, toppstiles data sheet also had it A1 fire rated. Missed the part where it said it was for floors. Thanks
