Re: Today’s want
It's a Merc "thing" innit, putting everything on one stalk. I hate it too. The Vito was the same and didn't even have the excuse of needing the other side for the shifter.

Re: Today’s want
Or from a Range Rover Sport. It’s at least slightly more generic looking, not blatantly BMW.

Re: Your fleet running reports
what else have you been "fixing"...? I think the standard reply to that kind of question is “your mum” ? :D It didn’t cross my mind they would be stretch bolts, I think I’ve only ever encountered those on cylinder heads. From googling they seem to be M10x30. I’ve got plenty of ordinary M1...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Possible progress on the Bentley. A very nice chap contacted me through eBay to say the knocking noise is likely to be the bolts securing the top mounts. They’re stretch bolts and if you re-use them (which I have, several times now :oops: ) they bottom out and appear to be tight, but aren’t actually...

Re: Your fleet running reports
How have you managed that :lol: My highest in the last 300 journeys (you can download this data from the app as an excel :ugeek: ) is 35.5 but then again I usually start or finish in congested city traffic. I think the 911 is capable of very similar fuel economy. Do you know if the pre-facelift V8 ...

Re: Your fleet running reports
This is what I’m dealing with. Someone claiming to be be very interested. I did a start up video for them. They have evidently gone over the video with a magnifying glass and said they’ll only offer £5k because it’s rusty here on the top of the door. f91bf20b-f9d3-430f-a980-55697e166c5f.jpeg FRO :ro...

Re: Your fleet running reports
Is a biscuit tin more practical than a faraday cage bag thingydoodah? Do you want to keep your keys safe whilst enjoying a wee chocolate hob nob when you head out in the car? It was cheaper ! Would a bag be better ? Genuine question. If the bag’s advantage is portability, surely it’s only useful if...

Re: Uber Black: Ar$e reviews of back seats
Hmm. TBH I’ve not spent much time sitting in the back of the Bentley. It’s a bit reckless when I’m driving :lol: First impressions of the RR vs what I recall of the Bentley is pretty similar comfort although the Bentley has a lot more legroom. You’d need a LWB Range Rover to match it. General ride o...

Re: Your fleet running reports
I was wondering if a metal biscuit tin works as a Faraday cage so I tried it. It seems it does.
Key near car, you touch the door handle, the car unlocks.
Key in tin, even right up against the door handle, touch it, nothing.

Re: The Wine Thread
Back in student days, one occasion after a big night, and probably still drunk, I decided to have beer on my cornflakes. Not nice. I do not recommend it.

Re: The Wine Thread
I like the type from the Co-op that comes in a 3 litre box. https://www.coop.co.uk/products/co-op-fairtrade-white-blend-box-3-ltr A lovely South African chardonnay too, very nice. The web page says 30L which certainly should see you through to the weekend. I think I tried that and didn’t like it - ...
