The study of a radiator

[DiyNutJob]

You really are utterly clueless aren't you?! Why did you bother fixing it if the system "re-balances" it to the other three wheels? I think you should have taken it for its MOT like that, so you could have "educated" the tester as to why it shouldn't be a fail...

What guarantee I have they won't do a bum job and pass me? I was suspected of having a broken car after MOT only earlier in the thread.

My fixing it hasn't any bearing on whether it balances itself. Before I realised a non-braking wheel, the car did not exhibit any difference in braking characteristics. Everything was balanced and fine. Being a non-racing driver, even a 2 wheel braking would have worked fine for me. Even having 2 wheel braking, I wouldn't have needed to use them very much - it's mostly about positioning.

Is that how you managed to "position" your car in the back of someone else's?

Yes, that's exactly how I positioned. I did say the guy was good and opened a weeping leak in my radiator. Anyone else in my place would have done far worse. Since I don't watch TV, I didn't know about crash for cash until after the event. Had I knew before hand, nothing would have happened. I saw the guy prepping for the crash well ahead of time but I did not recognize the manoeuvre. The pro crash for casher was trained to make it safe for himself and was taking the steps needed for that by modulating his speed to get the right distance from the approaching junction. He achieved it with perfection.

A search of your posts mentioning TV seems to be in contradiction to that. Just one example seems to say you are used to 'Advanced' TV's.

That's got to be the longest-winded, most conceited way ever, of saying "I drove into the back of someone"...

Your memory is going. The TV was for someone else. I don't even have the patience for films for donkeys years. The straight to the point youtube videos are the only things that could work for me.

Not really. That was saying someone deliberately crashed for cash but got nothing out of it. The guy offered to go to the side street and do a deal. I think he was going to offer me some cash. I refused, because it was a fishy set up from start to finish.

Get a freeview box then. That's what I have……

So what do you do with this Freeview box of you don’t watch TV?

I also have TV. I keep it unplugged. It's for guests.

You put the TV on when you have guests? Then again, I suppose if I were a guest of yours, I’d rather watch TV than converse with you.

Okay...
