Please play nicely. No one wants to listen/read a keyboard warriors rants....
It took weeks for all the soot stains to disappear from my hands after that!But it was worth it, as it went like the clappers* afterwards, once I'd freed off the wastegate on the turbo again
Looks like Thursday is old farts driving day out, for effs sake 35 in a 60 on a clear road. Then the road ruiners have filled a layby with gravel to wreck some side roads (same ones they ruined last year by the look of it) and have temp traffic lights so they can load wagons. 20mph and loose gravel signs on the main road so of course the old farts are slowing down even though the side roads have not been tared.Round these parts, it used to be everyone drove 15mph below the speed limit* so when all the limits got lowered to 50mph, everywhere was 35mph, with not too many overtaking opportunities. Now its started to creep to 20mph under the limit, making overtaking potentially easier.
Sounds just like the LTNs in that shithole formally known as Oxford. Even the survey after the initial wide scale trial for 6 months came back as they were causing more issues than they solved, the council decided to keep them, and then extend the scheme further.well ..... that was money well spent on 20mph roads in Welsh Wales ..... apparently now under review

One of the 2? Pilot towns was the town 2 miles from me...
Feedback nearly all bad (exceptions of schools / housing estates etc)
I'd love to know what lessons were learned from the feedback.....I'd suggest none, so why pilot in the first place.
I find them a pain to work on as you have to remove the skuttleAnd there was me thinking you loved working on Zafiras....
Had a Kia K5 for a day...I had some crappy small van yesterday, Vauxhall maybe?, that I had to tolerate a repeated limp mode, and it was giving me a countdown before it would stop starting due to an emission fault.
Meh.
Dont know how you do it. Ive had one puncture in the last 20 years.This one is a trashed wheel, courtesy of Lincolnshire's crap roads.
The Omega engine in the Austin hot rod is doing its own oil change, must remember to get a new sump plug washer------Ah, but its stops the rust
. But it doesn't work on her car with a proper dipstick, so I do use a Pela for that.
Some stations have ATLs (automated test lanes) where the tester can do an MOT on his ownThis is what my MOTer has, just so he can advise something on the MOT, now that I always remove air fresheners.
(vibrate plates/shakers to rock suspension, mirrors to check rear lights etc )
