Under the section ' Why do some people let the hate monster in'.......they talk blatantly of 'white-male entitlement' being the problem. :-\

You can openly say that white people are the problem, apparently. :-X
That sounds, er, racist.

Yup. They'd make a lovely table feature :D

The NCDC/ CID in my Omega is now at the point where most of the functions dont work most of the time.
I decided I would refit the original NCDC / GID, so retrieved the box from the shelf in the man cave that I stored it away in about 6 years ago.
Opened the box to find the headunit in there but no screen.
I have no clue whatsoever as to why the screen isnt in there.  ??? :'( ::) :'(
You could always retro fit a GID and an aftermarket head unit...

Is it just me or does the description of main group of inflicted people not, by definition, include Muslim men of a certain age ???

There's an environmental argument against such low speeds as vehicles simply aren't designed to travel so slowly... Not to mention the fact that localised pollution is increased by virtue of traffic build up.

Lundun being a case in point as localised pollution increases in direct proportion to each drop in traffic speed/flow.

For it's faults, Helfrods does allow you to see what you're looking at in person. ;)

Failed on both fronts lower arm ball joints, headlight adjustment and NS brake light..

Can you replace the ball joints, or is it time for new arms?
Unfortunately not, they're pressed in blind.

Unfortunately, the strut attached to them and is secured by grub screws which are prone to seizing.in place.

Booked in for next Friday.

Any unit with Bluetooth will get the job done.

If the car doesn't have Bose then it's a pretty straightforward exercise. Just go to Halfords and buy the first thing you like the look of and possibly an adapter cable :y

Got a puncture and failed it's MoT.

Puncture caused by summat I picked up moving over for a fire engine, hole too big to repair so replacement on order.

Failed on both fronts lower arm ball joints, headlight adjustment and NS brake light.

Headlights adjusted by tester, and brake light turned out to be tester error... he confused the single fog light for a brake light. Son only the arms to address.

Fair play to the marketing bods for upselling that, but surely an EV doesn't really require actual brakes given the regenerative braking power...

And presumably if you knock it into neutral it would simply roll to a stop ::)

What is listed there is what I fitted to mine.

If you want shocks, Sachs are the factory fit and cheaper than Bilstien and fit better in my experience, springs I can recommend Kilen HD.

Yes shocks and springs will take you to £800 territory but the rewards are in how the car drives.

Update: having cleaned and lubricated the throttle body and thinking this had solved the problem, it came back again. I put a new throttle body on and immediately had a smooth tick over from cold and it would seem much better fuel consumption. I even saw 36 mpg as an average from Surbiton to Rushden and back, well pleased with that.
:-X

Did you clean the cam cover and breathers from the sump to the TB  :-\
