It's not the fact that they have gone up. It's how quickly increases are passed on. When the price goes down, it's often long drawn out slow decrease. The price goes up, it's passed on very quickly. I mean, I didn't expect anything less, and it's not a surprise, the title was being ironic...

Anyone else notice that on the mere whisper of an issue internationally, the fuel stations have wasted no time in reacting to "market conditions". Even though it takes months for those same prices to come down when there are no issues with the markets. My local has gone from 1.34 to 1.42 on...

Wonder if the weight will reveal anything about the quality of the battery. It seems that the cheaper batteries may have much less robust innards. More susceptible to damage to vibration, thinner lead plates, less cycles and so on. Just trying to work out how much of an impact that has in...

Would you just go for the far cheaper powerline rather than the more expensive (and assumed better quality) Yuasa? One thing I think people also overlook with the AGM lead acid, is that the weight of those batteries do provide a nice low centre of gravity counterweight against someone sitting...

Actually, there is no issue in that regard as far as I understand. A lot of the mobility scooter lithium batteries are the safer Li-Po type. But I still do not think the benefits work out.

Deciding on some new AGM Lead acid batteries for a mobility scooter. I'm going for 2x36Ah (approx) lead acid type. I looked in to the lithium option...but I'm not convinced of the benefit (unless someone can convince me otherwise). I using the sizing options on the tanya website, these are...

This should work, I found the analysis saved in the wayback archive. https://web.archive.org/web/20240819085644/https://ato24.de/en/blog/comparison-0w-30-engine-oils/ It's an interesting analysis. The total oil was the orange bar.

I have the same engine as the OP. These modern diesels really do require oil that is to manufacturer spec and the correct weight. That is the first key thing. My garage, which is a Citroen garage, switched to Millers oil (of the correct spec/weight) once the warrantee period ran out. In the...

Funnily enough, I thought of this thread when I came across a terrible....what turned out to be....mini roundabout, a few days ago. It was a new area to me, so that did not help. But, leading up to the actual roundabout, there were no signs at all regarding it on approach, and when you...

Thanks for the replies! On the initial inspection and clean, I actually found a hole/crack which is probably the suspect. It's on the section where the felt rises to meet the flashing. Which probably corresponds to why it has being oddly intermittent. I have a small can of highly fibrous roof...

So the liquid and the membrane solution as per that video?

I have a flat roof on a attached outhouse. It is about 2.5m x 2.5m. So not a large area. It is a felt roof, in ok condition. Has had some patch repairs in the past. However in some type of rain (I guess certain directional rain) I seem to get a drip from somewhere. I don't want a whole roof...

Ahh, interesting! Thanks for the test. Maybe it's just movement of the steering wheel then.

I remember reading it somewhere when I went through a phase of being bothered about it not working. If it is the case, I imagine that it pertains to a certain degree of lock rather than just being slightly off centre. I would assume, and this is only just a guess, that it's just a safety...

Steering wheel has to be straight.

It's a minefield of marketing and things that you can deep dive into to the point of them being meaningless for the everyday person. Interesting if you like that thing, but overkill in terms of practical information. The key thing is you get the oil that 1) meets the correct weight, 1a) meets...

Correct oil is vital for a lot of modern diesels. Not the just the weight but the manufacturer spec. Your manual should say what the manufacturer specifically recommends. I've recently been servicing an old petrol ford Ka myself. Managed to get 5 litres of castrol magnatec for £26. Manual for...

The silhouettes are very similar, this is the cars centre aligned. You will probably find the shape of a lot of cars in the same segment these days is determined by CFD and Cd (Coefficient of Drag) targets. Manufacturers will come up with nearly the same solution/shape to achieve the...

Diesel oil goes pretty much black immediately after a fresh oil change. It's a common issue of people not believing the garage has changed their oil after service, as there is little visual way to tell. As an experiment a mechanic online did oil changes on a diesel until the oil ran...

The erroneous fail was regarding both front suspension strut bushes being excessively worn. They said it was a mix-up/input error from another car.
