Borg & Beck were the crap drop-links I had ( brand owned by First Line ) Failed in seven months with only about 5 000 miles.

That was exactly my experience last year with First Line drop-links. Out of curiosity, do they refund you quickly/easily, or give you the run-around ?

Potholes ? My experience of French roads is that they are generally very good outside towns: inside towns depends on the local council and, sometimes, they can be poor. Grenoble springs to mind, but they have a very high-profile "Green" mayor and council, so that may be a tactic rather than...

When I was involved in supplying to manufacturers - Ford, VW etc -it was not permitted to put your company brand/name on the part: suppliers were allocated codes to use. It was also part of the standard contractual terms that you were not allowed to publicly identify your customer , which...

Do you buy your used oil off E-bay ?

Please give details of length of track, number of bumps and average height so that this repair can be noted for future use :giggle:

Pointing out the fallacies I see in your argument. What's the spark-plug comment about - or just an abstruse reference to an ICE ?

and the hugely powerful - and very busy - European Commission thought it was important enough to devote YEARS - researching and legislating to eliminate as many of these as possible

Since you have several comments, watch the video to get the whole story.

"In the above video it takes about 7 hours to cover 145 miles. ( Ipswich to Mansfield )" In a BP garage it was 30 minutes and in a Tesco supermarket three hours> Starting out with 20-30 miles IIRC.

As far as the first two are concerned, you are reverting to mains only ?

I watched the above yesterday and was surprised that so many charging points are out of operation: I thought that was an early phenomenon and this problem would have been fixed now. The charge rate of the charging points is very important ( and putting in fast-chargers everywhere would be...

" Do they ? Do you have any proof ? Personally I would have thought they repelled moisture. I do agree that most moisture absorbtion is likely to occur on cold start-up ( gut-feel, no back-up ). I find it less likely that oil - static in the crank-case - absorbs moisture .

It reads as if this is a public i.e. governmental responsibility/ tax-payer cost. I am not entirely on-board with that unless the costs are amortised in the charging rates.

Down to what level ? Phones - or perhaps only phones with generic rather than genuine batteries ?

I think that has to be the best method: no chance of ECU/system damage.

Just happened across these two short videos where oil is submitted at 5k,7.5k and 10k intervals to compare results. - 6mins 40 - 4 mins 30 One comment from the lab that may be of interest to people, is that they say time has no effect on the oil, only usage.

No I haven't, but believe that for me it would simply be a loud noise that would startle me, but not so that I would hit the floor as if it were a drive-by !:giggle:

Do you live in downtown L.A. ........................or Manchester ?
