Surprised at the level of anger at the 20mph limit. Just shows that they live in a different world from the rest of us .....

BBC News - Mark Drakeford defends 20mph law before stepping down

It's NOT the 10th till Sunday  :)
unless you mean another PREVIOUS month or year   >:D
Those were the good ol' days, when you'd get it MOT'd only so you could buy the tax from the PO....

It was only when I tried to tax it (on the 1st March) that I realised it had ran out  :-[

Taxed & tested.
The MOT cert now has This vehicle has an outstanding recall ..... contact MB to arrange a free repair across the print off.  ??? I know it has ..... MB want to install their ''upgraded'' software on it  ::)
Vauxhall wanted to 'update' the software on my astra. They wrote to me, but it hasn't appeared on MOT certificates or the online MOT check.
MB want to update the software as a recall due to the emissions debacle

There are quite few Lancashire, and Yorkshire towns that would be much better if they didn't exist at all.

Omega General Help / Re: Timing belt kit question
« on: 02 March 2024, 19:42:38 »
Of course it can, as plenty of people do.


But it's much simpler to do than the V6 and the tools for doing it correctly are so cheap, it's hard to understand why you'd even consider doing it without.

'Ticker' at a local garage was adamant that he could do a V6 timing belt without a locking kit ..... he used a pair of mole/vice grips on each pair of cam sprockets!  ::)
Fortunately he never did my cam belt!  ;D

Have you tried genuine ones?

This garage is probably a lot cheaper if you're looking for something to blow up?  >:D

Imagine spending £90K on a second hand Range Rover only for your neighbour to pull up in his £150K one and look down his nose at yours  ;D

It'll never happen ..... it took me long enough to get my head around spending £26k on my ML ...... my first house (in 1988) was the same price ... so £90k would be a none starter!  ;D ;D

.....

He decided to ignore all his own warnings about towing and towed me home 1/2 mile rather than call in a pick up truck. We went very slowly but I hope my trans is OK.  ....

it's ok to tow an auto 1/2 mile  :y
Upto a certain speed.

In theory you can tow start an auto but you need to have your wits about you.

unlikely to be very fast if it's only for 1/2 a mile  ::)
