Re: Your fleet running reports
Oh yeah and the rear wash doesn't work on the 135i, and apparently checking the motors is a wheel off, inner arch out, entire wing off job. Think I'll live with a mucky rear screen for now :lol: I assume you've tried just cleaning the jets? :P I'm not getting a response from the motor when trying t...

Re: Harry’s Garage
I thought I was misremembering so searched the original article https://www.ezpowersteering.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/octane2.pdf The retrofit electric steering system just sat on the rack and if turned off was meant to be no different to not having the system. But you could turn it on at low sp...

Re: The ebay thread
To be fair at least it's only a wrap. That's no more than a days job to pull off, remove the pimp tints, remove wheels, paint callipers silver and stick some OEM wheels on. Then again you might pull off the wrap and find a mess underneath... By the way, have Autotrader removed the feature that compa...

Re: Royal Family
This is all getting a bit much and taking up too much tabloid space. I reckon they’ll intoxicate her driver and send her down towards the Hindhead tunnel in a supercharged XJL with the rear airbags deactivated because the car had her child seats in the day before. There will be an unfortunate diesel...

Motorway bridge photography wankers
Had a right old scare today, I may have been travelling at pace on the M20 when at the last moment I caught a glance of a person in high vis with a laser like device pointing directly at me. Too late to do anything. Such was my paranoia, already thinking about what the fuck I’m going to say in court...

Re: Damn London tourists and nasties.
London at the weekends/peak tourist season is shit. But I guess every massive city is the same in that regard.

Figured out why the X5 boot wasn’t operating smoothly, https://i.ibb.co/pWKRC5d/IMG-9990.jpg Right hand boot strut had snapped in half and only held together with the telescopic sheath. Surprised it’s lasted this long as the actual frame of it is made from a brittle crap plastic. As for the cheap Al...

Yeah I didn’t wanna post it as it came across badly but my first thought was the judge probably bottled it and didn’t want to be that guy who made a family homeless.

Re: Your fleet running reports
I think they’re almost worthless at least near here. People offer to take them away for free where they presumably get paid a better rate than £1 at the metal recycling place.
One day there will be a massive lead shortage and I’ll be sitting on grey gold.

Re: Randomness
Car mass production is mind blowing
Also there’s people actually checking the paint and panel gaps right at the end, and they’re still so bad

Re: For the FTAO of Sim racing folk
The Forza games are crap on a wheel, in particular the Horizon series, they’re set up for controller. GT7 is better but I never liked how most the cars feel. If you want to stick with a console to see if you like it there’s still some good games although I don’t know how the force feedback translate...

Re: Confessions of a younger driver.....
Apparently on a Tesla if you hold down P on the gear stalk for 3 seconds it will apply the emergency brake regardless of what speed you’re doing. I have not tried it. Then again if you’re in an actual emergency with no brakes, waiting 3 seconds before the handbrake actually applies is probably alrea...
