Re: Your fleet running reports

I bought a genuine VAG one recently Have one of those in the E-Tron. Pulled it out for the first time a month or so back, switched it on - ran fine. Moved to next tyre - switched it on - nothing. Not sure if it tripped out or died. Back to trusty manual "floor pump" (which seems to be las...

Re: Domestic Plumbing Total Lack of Pressure

...I found putting a thumb firmly over the outlet of the sink mixer tap and turning both hot and cold on full would cause it to shift and be fine for a long while.
