Re: It's Highway Robbery, innit

My issue was no stations within the default 15 miles, so you might have to open the radius out if no rows found on first query. There is actually one mom & pop station inside 15 miles but assume a data issue.

Re: Today’s want

I think we could probably all agree to leave any perceived racism at the door here, given the long history of, what 50, 100 core people? I remember being called out many years back for an equally innocuous remark. Also Chris is a massive tall bellend, so there.

Re: Your fleet running reports

Have it on the X-Trail for the last few years. Works well, just a different technique vs. a ratchet handbrake, in that you have to positively come off the clutch and trust the system, rather than balancing clutch, throttle and handbrake. The next generation of drivers won't ever have to do the ...

Sadly I did wonder about you reading about all the Sky culls.

Not massively enjoying my job but it's a tough market so will keep my head down for now. Just the 11 years until retirement :(

Re: How far would you go to help the Police?

To answer the question - I wouldn't have done any of that!

Only time I came across something similar on the m11, smackhead weaving from lane 1 to 3 and back again to block us overtaking, I just sped up and disappeared.

Bless you for the social responsibility though.

Also watched maybe 3 mins out of the 45. The car influencer knobs at least give us a start middle and end. Give us a dyno, shakedown etc. Next project.

Re: Your fleet running reports

It's just a starter...rock the car back and forth as hard as you can, with it in gear. If the starter is accessible give it a good smack with a soft face hammer (or a hammer with a rag). You might be blowing a load of money for no reason.
