 .... and they're all so much bigger. I saw a P6 TC on my way home from work this evening .... they used to be considered a big car in their day .... it didn't look very big anymore.

But  - What a PITA getting the battery retaining bold in. Couldn't have designed it any worse if they had tried. .....

must be a merc thing then. My ML's main battery is under the driver's seat & the carpet will need cutting .... not sure if the seat will have to come out (it did on my R Class) & the aux battery is in the boot area which means the spare wheel well has to come out to get to it.

Looks like yesterday I hit the wrong button on a well known online retailer.  I thought I was getting a pair of DJI Mini 2 batteries, but a paddling pool turned up.  Upon checking my orders, that's what I clicked.

Bugger.

ooops!!!!!!!  ::) ;D ;D

Why the hell do manufacturers put puny engines into bigger and bigger cars? Ford stick a 1 litre engine in a Mundano for gods sake.  ::)

Isn't that the Ecoboom?  :y

But to make up for that, our 20+ year old doorbell failed.  .....

We've been in our house for 31 years and our battery door bell was already in there. It's still in there working ....


 but there again nobody calls  ;D

With the screen, scuttle and dash out, that panel can theoretically be replaced, it's bonded into a channel in the firewall.

sigh ...... bulkhead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The two terms aren't mutually exclusive.

Obviously that's wrong too presumably... ::)
Are we talking cars or planes?
I'm away & don't have enough interweb to read it.
You can always find what you want to find if you look hard enough. What's the past tense of dive? Here in Blighty it's DIVED but if you Google it, it'll say you can also use DOVE .... It's not correct as far as I'm concerned but the Web says is OK  ::)

Fools and Horses van was a Regal although for some reason people think it's a Robin. ???

General Car Chat / Re: Insurance renewal .
« on: 26 March 2024, 07:59:17 »
There are certain insurance companies that are refusing to insure anyone over 70 now. Or quoting such a ridiculously high price that they know won't be accepted.

My Dad is 87 next, rand LV today for a quote & they have refused to insure him. Not sure who he's insured with at the moment, but they've quoted him £1720 for his Chrysler Grande Voyager!  :o :o

The very young and the very old are always given a kicking when it comes to insurance.

indeed  :(

some of the youngsters at work pay some pretty eye watering premiums .... they must be getting paid too much!  ;D
