Yeah, it's 5.5hours all in, most of which is for the gearbox which with the ZF8s is a pain-in-the-arse job that involves getting the box up to temperature after refilling, doing the Magical ZF Dance of Acceptance etc to flush the fluid through all the valves, coolers, etc. The rest of it is pretty ...

I've just had a look on Google and yep, that's a bit of a shit layout. Guidance is actually pretty good these days (since 2020) - it was a bit of a free for all before that, and that is a prime example. There's no markings to clarify priority, the surfacing is a right jumble, and then there's stupid...

I've yet to find a layout that's confusing so I'd be interested to see what that looks like.

There you go. Genuine ZF kit and 10l of either Millers or 7l of Liqui Moly for £185.

That sounds like a lot, all round. 5.5hrs to do a box service? I think I paid about £300 for the ZF service kit a few years back and an hour's labour. What are they doing for the other 4hrs? Or does that include for the cam cover gasket as well?

Looks like a cycle crossing to me

If you look at the cycle lane coming the other way, it looks like it stops where it reaches this crossing - likely just a pedestrian crossing? And I think therefore the cyclist was riding on the pavement, then crossed the road, and the pedestrian didn't expect to get hit by a cyclist at the START o...

Is it even a BMW if it doesn't have an oil leak?

My Audi did a full automatic emergency stop while I was away in Anglesey at the weekend. It was at a traffic light controlled crossroads where there was a car coming towards me slowly, indicating to turn, so I started to edge forward as I was turning right across him. My car must have thought there...

Definitely have them in the NW

Mmmmm, curry

I think we need new pads:

I think we have a dragging pad on the nsr of the Superb I'm guessing that it's probably just the sliders that need re-greasing. Has anyone done this on a VAG model with the electronic parking brake? I don't have VCDS or the like so was just thinking I could take one pin out at a time to re-grease, ...

Given the lack of firearms charges noted against them, I seriously doubt it - firearms offences are an easy win for the CPS given how restrictive ownership/use is here. This was rural Derbyshire, not a needle-strewn estate in east London. I was just going off what's listed in some of legal pages wh...

I'd have thought just having a loaded shotgun pointing at them would be enough for the scrotes to scarper, but maybe the "aggravated" part meant the guy did feel in real danger. Or as @Gavster says, he was at the end of his tether or had other stresses too. Or is it just a natural extensi...

The tone of the whole piece is pretty odd, but I guess they're severely restricted on what info they can include at this stage. I don't get why telling us the dead burglar played on a football team is relevant though. Because it's crucial that we know how many "promising footballers" are ...

I finished watching this last week and absolutely loved it. Beautifully shot and fantastic acting from the Japanese cast - I'm less sure about Cosmo Jarvis. I've actually ordered a book - "Anjin - The Life and TImes of Samurai William Adams" but believe it's on back order at the moment. Te...

That's pretty self explanatory, look at the angle of the car parking spots, it's not easy to reverse in as the angle will be too sharp. In this case you're right. Although I'll often advocate for echelon parking to be reverse-in only. They used to have reverse in echelon bays years ago near Central...

When you somehow get through to someone, in my experience, they're usually very helpful/good (and sometimes give you a direct number). But those fucking speaking menu things are an absolute nightmare. I never speak to a speaking menu. It has to go through to an operator anyway if you don't respond....

I imagine Ferrari and Aston will write him a blank cheque. Can't do that with a cost cap. Unless he suddenly has a desire to start a catering company of course :lol: Top 3 highest paid personnel in the team are not included in the cost cap. Or something silly like that. Really?! I didn't know that....
