Declined a pre-MOT
I'd try a local authority MoT test station or is that not a possibility seeing as you're already a Private Hire?

Pete's Rescue Roomster
@Breezy_Pete SEL possibly. No L&K Roomsters I'm aware of. Not sure if she'd take Octavia seats in the front and back or Fabia ones as they're a bit of an oddity. Maybe even Polo or Golf ones. 🤷

What spec is she, Pete? S, SE etc... Quality of the interior is good I hope.

Coming off winter tyres
I usually swap last weekend in October until the last weekend in March. I'm in North Germany where winters/ all seasons are mandatory but IMO just go by the weather wherever you happent to be. When I lived on the UK south coast I might change back in something like mid or even early March.

How do I screw back a Fabia Mk3 1.0 TSI SE rear brake cylinder - clockwise or anticlockwise?
Pretty certain it should be clockwise if memory serves.

Photography Thread
A couple of zoomed in shots through thin cloud of a Beluga XL from just now. I really should drag myself to Hamburg for a factory tour or even down the Autobahn to their airport site.

Disel in Petrol car!!!
Don't try and start it again!! Diesel in petrol's not as bad as petrol in diesel so you might get lucky here since it was only driven a short way. Not much you can do about it on a Sunday IMO but get it recovered ASAP and explain to the recovery person why and to NOT START IT! Could be looking at a new cat and maybe injectors/ fuel lines etc.

the truth about electric cars
Yes, it must be Democrats attacking Tesla dealerships with zero evidence of that. I mean, it's not as if Elmo's not pi55ed of hundreds of thousands of people from all backgrounds with his DOGE bros firing people left right and centre. Then Vs now... ssstwitter.com_1742485463965.mp4

the truth about electric cars
I only drop in this topic occasionally so I had no idea about the previous page/s. To your last question, no idea but it might give people ideas. Imagine a big mirror. Would one hit the brakes or itself 🤔🤣

Cybertruck!
Cybertruck panels are falling off as they're just glued on and one of Tesla's CEO's is calling for Musk to go as share prices plummet and Musk isn't doing his job :DD https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a63857202/tesla-cybertruck-losing-body-panels-reports/ ssstwitter.com_1741856199935.mp4 ssstwitter.com_1742472182969.mp4

Central Locking for Doors
Try unlocking it with the key whilst simultaneously giving the area a good thump with the side of your fist. Other than that, @Breezy_Pete might know more.

Mrs Gaz has decided she wants a new (to her) car
Can you get a smaller wheel and larger sidewall fitted or would the calipers interfere with the fitment? Or just larger tyres? Just thinking aloud if that might make the Polo a bit more driveable for her.

@Ootohere that red tag is I strongly suspect a 'D' marking - decayed, do not climb so hence the scaffolding. No hoist access either. The two labels at the bottom means it's been inspected at least twice so Openreach will be aware but probably can't do much about it without the land owner granting access for their equipment Ideally that pole will need changing out but looks like difficult access for the poling wagon with it's mechanical augur and pole arm.

@Ootohere can you post a pic of the pole they say they need scaffolding for and any markings on the pole itself if you have time. I'm interested in any markings carved into it, round white tags nailed onto it, a red D marking or a yellow and white A1024 notice. It's strange as an ex BT pole climber they say they need scaffolding to work on it.
