If it was just a single payment then yes, but it was many many payments........most of which were to Cohen with associated invoices.............now if he had kept on side with Cohen  :y

I have never been so disinterested in an election, so much so I am actively avoiding news and reports on it!

No confidence in any of them, Roland Rat is a muppet and I would not trust Starmer to sweep my drive.

If the rotation is stopping and then restarting during cranking then it points to either a physical lockup, or an electrical starter issue.

So checking grounds and positive connections is a good start, could also be a burnt segment on the starter comm (although less likely as you expect it to have slightly bigger issues like failure to turn over at all if the brushes are on the problem segment at start).

Mechanically, is it using any coolant ?

Dare I say I prefer the originals, more subtle

My Atco Admiral wouldn't start at the weekend as well, had to resort to the pull cord as the battery was flat, I need to dig out some fresh Li-ion cells and make a new one

We get a visible Aurora in the Uk and I am stuck in India >:(

Thankfully I have seen it a few times in Norway some years ago but still, what's the chances!

The early Chrysler engine is utter junk and drinks fuel so much, when a friend replaced his with a v8 Cayenne, he noticed no change in fuel bills.

Best avoided, the later French engine is better

not enough pressure in the cooling system to push into the oil TBH 15psi water and oil should be 50 + psi

When running yes, but when the engine is stopped, the oil pressure drops to zero pretty quickly and the coolant pressure remains for quite a while, so you do get some 'push back'  :y :y

Check the seal where the wiring loom connects to the rear lights, pop the lights out for a better look

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.


*Except when they get to 30mph villages, when they speed up.

And that's just the old farts on the mobility scooters, forgot to ask, did you find the retirement property you were looking for?

Coil packs are one of those items that I have found are better to buy decent quality, the cheaper stuff either generates less energy and/or doesn't last as well

TRW are owned by ZF, who also own Sachs Boge, so they could well be the same shocks as the Sachs

It took weeks for all the soot stains to disappear from my hands after that!

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.

Yet, some motorways have displayed the Matrix boards to reduce the speed limit to 60mph to 'improve air quality' (supposedly)...the M1 near Sheffield being one  ???
That's just ended because......work this one out.....air quality has improved. Now, has it improved because of the speed reduction, in which case why increase it again? Or is it just magic?
Or was it because all the traffic took a different route because that one was too slow? >:D
It was 60mph instead of 70 between two junctions on the M1 at Tinsley.

Or was it because there are less of the pre Euro 4 emissions vehicles about now rather than the speed.........(including lorries)
