Tilt

Yes though, (to Colin) good idea to incorporate different sports, topics and especially general health and tips....

I think you need to be upping your peak heart rate shy for a good cardio workout..... Ideally upwards of at least 85 bpm. Should be roughly 50% of your max. 68 bpm max for 30 minutes at average around 14 mph workout is pretty low. Calorie burn is about average for 2 hours exercise by my reckoning, so good.

That's a lot of cars, Phil. ........................ ( there's always one....... I'll get my coat, Lol).

Good show again with Tiff and Paul, with bits from Olly and Sid.......... I especially liked the Mclaren Longtail sales pitch regarding the options list........ one of the options is to have f-all in it, Lol. And that includes the door cards. Worlds greatest cars was not so great this week imo, but Hot Hatch lovers would have loved it...... Looking forward to next weeks programme. Followed by Motor Pickers......

Looking forward to 'The Hoff' tonight then............. Should be ok if slightly cringy.

Paul Woodman......

Could it be 'Modern Wheels or Classic Steals.......... it's on tv at lunchtime weekdays.

Not keen on them overhanging the sides like that ^^^. I chopped my Thule ones down so they have minimal overhang. Look a lot better now though I hardly use them now to be fair.

And another one this Friday (the 13th) on Blaze at 9pm. Supercars of the 80's.......................... hour and a half with The Hoff of course, who else, Lol.

@FunkystanleyLooks like yours are missing some serious rubber on the outer jaw....... I have Thule, cannot remember foot pack number but probably same as gav mentioned. Rings a bell.

This Thursday............... On The Road ITV4 8pm, and....... Worlds Greatest Cars on Quest at 9pm. Possibly been on elsewhere before though.

I guess you ride Burntstump a fair bit???

Why tell the Op to do something that they have said they do not want to do and they have given their reasons. why they don't want to??? Just curious why someone would do this.

@ablgoose Have you tried pressing the ok 'button'???? See what happens. (I'm assuming it is touchscreen). Or tried contacting the previous owner, or asked the selling garage?

'Everyone out the car'.......................... I didn't know Politicians had anything to do with designing Skoda cars. How stupid do the designers and manufacturers think their buyers are???? Well, I guess they think we are stupid as they think we believe Skoda are 'Simply Clever', Lol.

...... Sorry, shouldn't laugh........ Probably just a loose wire somewhere, earth wire or the like..... (time for someone to laugh at me now, Lol). Have you checked the battery terminals and connections are clean and tight. I'm sure you have already.

@BristolPete Yes, maybe just try a new bulb also. Easy and cheap enough. I get what you say about them both stopping working but would be the first step IMO. Keeping spare bulbs is very sensible anyway.

@sealover1 Do you have only one key fob??? If you have two then try the other one to see if that works. If trying a non fob key then this is correct as these do not contain an immobiliser chip. Car will start iirc, but soon cut out. We have to assume this is a new issue with a key fob that you have been using for a while, yes????????

I did that on my valve George. I let the tyre down first and pushed the valve in to try and squeeze sealant in, and then reinflated it. Didn't work, Lol. In the end the garage only charged me a few quid to remove, clean and re-fit..... Local very small indy place tho.

My valve leak was an alloy wheel. Quite common I believe.

Ask the fitter to pay special attention, ideally find the leak first so you can explain, or ask them to find the leak before they remove the tyre from the wheel, so that the same leak doesn't arise. A newly fitted tyre will probably rectify the problem though. I asked the fitter to make sure the valve seat on mine was cleaned thoroughly before fitting new tyre.

My slow leak was definitely from the valve seat. As you say, poorly finished, although mine are old also, but never had a valve leak before....... Fairly easy to find a leak though.

Topic started in Octavia mk 4, but is this the intended purchase car??? I Agree with eRoot as not having the weight of the car resting on the pawl when parked on a slope. But then I would take other measures if I had a manual also if parking on a 'significant slope, just to be sure.

No offence was intended. Your response is patronising but I accept how you feel about my response and I will not take offence to it. Let us leave it there. Glad you sorted it.
