I’d assume you’re also not using the 500 terminals for £10 and a £15 crimping tool off Amazon though…

Sounds like it’s ideal for a Netflix documentary

Off topic but I read you shouldn’t solder car wiring harnesses and it isn’t allowed as an OEM repair as it makes the wire stiff and susceptible to breaking. You should crimp one off instead.


I have read this many times too, but I’m not sure how much of an issue it is. The only broken wires I’ve ...

Aren’t they only using 10% of their current datacentre / ai potential at the moment anyway? Or something like that from a vid I saw a while back. Yet they keep banging on about space data centres being necessary for future expansion.

As time goes on the whole thing doesn’t feel any less scammy ...

Just keep an eye out for damage, on most cars getting the doorcard off a door you can’t open is a bit of a challenge!

I watched a random road video on how dangerous American roads were, made sense with their grid layouts and multiple lanes crossing multiple lanes, but also how pedestrian unfriendly most layouts are.

Add to that the lack of legislation which means things like the cybertrucks exist and big trucks ...

So, because Max crashed twice in a week, which he / the team / speculators are putting down to reattachment issues with their flip over rear wing, there are serious talks about banning them for everyone.

Seems a bit of an overreaction to me? Hadjar hasn’t had an incident, neither Ferrari have had ...

Bad input to the ECU seems the most easily fixable possibility.


True, and I didn't actually think of that, I approached it from the other direction and was thinking about ECU output in case the ECU was firing spurious signals. I totally disconnected the ECU and the pump kept running. I could ...

The boy has just passed his test. Was dreading the upgrade in insurance from provisional to full licence.

They only want £180 extra for the next three months, £50 of that was the fee for making an adjustment.

Hopefully at renewal it won’t be too horrendous with a years ncb on it.

Did a little reading, whipped out the jets on my carbs and found they were 115s. The twin carb alfasuds come with 130 or 135s.

As the engine is standard other than the carbs stuck on top I decided to go with 130s. A whole £12 for a set of genuine Weber ones - for my £130 a pair Chinese copy carbs ...

It doesn’t have catalysts, but I don’t really enjoy driving the ‘sud if it’s over 25c. You can get ok airflow into the cabin as long as you’re moving, but lack of insulation means lots heat soak through the bulkhead and floor, plus lots of clear glass for its size and thin pillars mean it’s a bit ...

We also have a hosepipe ban for the first time in as long as I can remember. Quite surprised as we seemed to have about 8 months of almost constant rain before it warmed up a bit.

I’ve bought a better powered pressure washer I can feed from a bucket to air rinsing down the cars.

Surely it’s about ...

Bedroom down to a rather pleasant 22c this morning, and as it’s a bit overcast didn’t start rocketing at 5am when the sun starts coming in.

You can feel the inside of the external walls on the back of the house are still noticably warmer than the air temperature, and can tell the difference when ...

Managed to get our bedroom down to 25° last night and for the first time in months slept right through to my alarm.

Definitely a nicer heat than the last heatwave, with a bit of a breeze too at times.

If I’d known he was coming past I would have given a wanker wave

Apparently the new one was seen over Suffolk about 4h ago

Was that airforce 1 which just flew over?

Makes me want to buy a house there so I can vote binface

I think mine was about £30

I’ve got sucked into the spiral of adding shiny bits which make other bits look grotty so you end up tidying more bits up :lol:

New coolant tank. I believe it’s from a later 33 as there was a bracket on the underside I had to snip off, and the shape is very slightly different, the strengthening ...

Stick will be fine, probably better than mig tbh. Doesn’t have to be pretty!

Try and get in a position where you can get as much of the way round in a single bead as possible, just so it’s all hot and all cools at a similar time.
