Round here the Audi drivers seem to have stolen the crown from the BMW drivers when it comes to non functioning indicators

She reputedly worth five or six million quid.  :-X

You'd think that Britain's corrupt media would be asking questions about how she's accrued her wealth and can afford to buy a £800,000 flat in Hove?  ???

Of course not. She's not a Tory.  ::)



How does a woman reputedly worth all that cash still manage to look like a a council estate skanky slag ?

She doesnt have to manage it. It comes naturally.  :)

You can't buy class.  :-X




Ask Lord Opti!  :P  ;D  ;D  ;D

L461 P460e.....for probably about 9 - 10 months (the diesel, which was excellent, had hit 24,000 miles so well over due a change!)

Free of charge?

Life can be a real bitch at times.... ;) :D

No, its a preferential lease scheme so paid for after tax (no BIK hit)

Changed it, now need to see what the PHEV is capable of from a range perspective (it did 63 miles on electric today and then 6 on petrol)

General Car Chat / Re: Cam belt query.
« on: 20 August 2025, 15:32:35 »
I had a cambelt go on a 1974 Capri 1600. It didn't take the engine with it.

On a 1600 Capri that would be considered unfortunate

TPMS is a legislated feature for post 2014 cars.

Most work on 433Mhz and do not use a Bluetooth solution (its far to power hungry), in fact BT has only really become available since BT LE arrived with automotive grade ICs (which is pretty recently, we are just looking into it)

The JLR receiver has multiple antennas so can detect the direction and position of the sensors

General Car Chat / Re: Why use a torx bolt
« on: 15 August 2025, 12:38:30 »
From my experience, Torx is used as it is a more reliable fixing capable of taking a higher torque load.

The size and type is often standardised over a specific assembly step also, so sometimes you get an oversized fixing because it is also used on other parts (so you only need a singe torque gun and bit for that assembly step)

A lot of the tech is driven by the safety standards that you need to meet, speed limiter function is a great example.

Autonomous braking etc gets points on the NCAP assessments so gets added as well (unless you fancy a zero star Renault Zoe or one star Dacia Spring).

I rarely use the adaptive cruise as a lot of my travel is on motorways and dual carriageways and its just crap as you effectively become an equal to the idiot in front who can't keep a constant speed. It gets used occasionally in traffic but that is pretty much it.

I do turn most of the assists off at key on (legislated features have to default back to on at each key cycle) which thankfully is easy after I had a two press steering wheel button short cut implemented

Mine goes like shit off a shovel, especially in Sport and Sport + modes. It's like having 3 different cars in one.  :)
I'm guessing all things are relative.  330d has never struck me as what I'll call quick, though generally quick enough :y

As you say, its relative.  I've gone from a clapped out 178bhp Ford Mundano to a BMW 530d with an estimated 300bhp that goes like the clappers!  :)

Sadly you will soon get used to it, I am currently on 300bhp with 650Nm and it feels average now, the next one is 460bhp and 660Nm and I am sure that will feel normal after 6 months  ;D
