Bloody Elon is a cowboy. The Model 3 brakes always felt a bit shit, but upon changing the front pads I stumbled across why this car may have even worse brakes than average. To give some background the brakes on this car never wore evenly, and during one recall when this was mentioned the service cen...

That's where the term gold standard comes from. Yes, I wasn’t aware that America was in it for as long as 1971 as the UK left it far earlier - just one of those things I thought ended with the depression. However I presume that international gold prices still remained at the level that America set....

Is that yet another recycling waste site on fire?

I know this is going back a long time ago but found it quite mind blowing when I first read it. Gold was pegged to the US dollar until 1971 at roughly $35 per ounce. Madness! Putting whatever savings you had on gold must have been the safest investment and I wonder how many retired very wealthy from...

That still wouldn’t have worked though as you can’t just extend the time. Correct procedure is to duct tape a block of wood of the thickness of a disc and 2 pads, which is again one of those things you pick up with experience.

Pretty irrelevant as I’m an amateur. If I had the right tools for the job, as a professional would - a hub removal tool, I’d have had it off in minutes and none of the following events would have happened.

Looks a piece of piss online for the ZF8. Ok it's a bit inconvenient as there's no drain bolt so you have to undo the whole sump and you need a scan tool to read the oil temp to correctly measure the level which seems to range from £60-130. Now do all that - and removing any required undertrays etc...

There’s always been 3 types for non OEM. Basic paper filter which is usually less than £10. Anti microbial filter which is a bit more, then you have activated charcoal.

There’s also the recirculation filter which seems to be made of corrugated plastic.

Cyclist will be at fault regardless. My mum did the same thing to a cyclist a few years ago but much worse. She didn't look whilst crossing the road at the bottom of a hill and the cyclist crashed into her at quite some speed. She got a few cracked ribs and the cyclist went head first into a curb an...

This happened a few months ago, Carwow bought Autovia who owned Evo, Auto Express and a few other publications I have never heard of.

Wasn't it something like 10 updates? Pretty much a spec B car, makes me wonder if they've blown almost the entire seasons R&D budget already.

Black LaFerrari with the plate 2XX. Gave it a launch off the red light and managed to get hit the limiter in both first and second in a very short distance. Curiously I did check and it seems to be geared to 120kmh in 2nd which is a tiny bit more than the 20 mph speed limit

BMW rocker cover leaks seem to be as consistent as full moons.

Well I said I would never work on the Model 3 after the last shit show but I never listen to myself. So ordered a wheel hub from America, it’s only £60 and the car needed a set of pads. Hey for £60 it’s worth it as Tesla wanted £200 plus VAT to diagnose the noise beyond recommending a new set of tyr...

What about small luxury cars and big sports cars?

Didn’t someone recently go on about a Guila in some special shade of red which was very rare but looked the bollocks? I think I saw one yesterday and I agree. https://i.postimg.cc/6twpgMmx/IMG-0469.avif?dl=1 C8 Vette - I keep forgetting these were sold here in RHD. I’ve always seen them on their own...

Yep driver’s in the fault for that. When I cycle and approach a slow junction which is busy with traffic I will slow down as usually there’s someone who is going to turn in and visibility can be bad for both the driver and the cyclist depending on what car it is or if it’s obstructed by much bigger ...

There’s someone in my flat who has a Continental set up like that complete with 24” chrome Kahn wheels. It looks crap.

Wins race. Drops F bomb on live TV. Legend.
