General Discussion Area / Re: Nadine Dorries Resigns...
« on: 27 August 2023, 10:46:12 »
Not saying what she's said about Rishi/the government but why then did she stay so long and not resign sooner? Could it be that she was hanging on for a peerage,which she's not got and only then chucked her toys out of the pram?

Took V70 for M.o.T. it failed :'( Fortunately it was only on a broken rear spring so as soon as the new ones arrive [although only one is broken I'm replacing both as it's stupid not to]it'll be a case of getting out and under to fit those.

Got to a set of traffic lights yesterday morning and a petrol station just beyond the lights had 147.8[E10]and 151.8[diesel]on their electronic sign.Stooped at the lights as they were on red,by the time they'd changed to green the petrol station sign had changed to 148.8 and 152.8 respectively

Removed throttle body from the V70 and partly stripped it in the hope of finding a cause for the position sensor code I've been getting.Found what looked to me to be a couple of dodgy contacts so made those better,reassembled and re-installed throttle body all seems good so far.

Foam on mine is removed without issues,although I seem to remember TB saying it makes the car noisier inside[?].However I've never noticed any particular difference in noise levels.

Last weekend I helped change the gearbox[6 speed manual]on a 1.6 turbo Astra GTC which had just short of 80,000 miles on it.the new[second hand]gearbox was from a similar car but with only 30,000 miles on it.

General Car Chat / Records
« on: 05 August 2023, 08:54:13 »
Alan Millyard and Henry Cole have recently set not on but two world records on Millyards Viper V10 engined bike.The bike weighs 1200lbs or 1322lbs[depending on source you're looking at] of which 700lbs is the engine.First record is for fastest bike two up which they set at 183.5mph after a run of 1.25 miles the second record which they set along the way to the first one was for fastest standing mile which they set at 178.6mph.The bike apparently does 0-62 in 2.7secs and the standing mile in 9.5secs[presumably solo]and riding solo Millyard has had it up to 207mph.

Got a code[P0220] for throttle position sensor/pedal sensor on the V70.Just got to figure out how to tell whether it's at the throttle body end or the pedal end.
