  1. If you've not moved it since that pic, you can reset the trip and get three sixes on that as well.
  2. Grant Shapps being run over by a driverless car 🤷‍♀️ Oh, sorry. You said the 'worst that could happen'.
  3. There's a whole thread on here (in the classics section I think) from a chap who EV'd a Favorit.
  4. @Breezy_Pete I only saw this post by chance. I wish I'd seen it earlier (I had to join this forum to reply, couldn't work out why I couldn't reply at first). I encountered the same problem a couple of years ago after moving to Germany and getting a bike that had been in storage since 1998. Given the age of the inner tube and tyres (over 22 years) I decided to replace both front and back. All I can say is it was a complete PIT (fing) A. Some swearing involved and some needle nose mole grips to hold a cable and lining up of dots IIRC. I wish I'd made notes now I just notice your gears are external.
  5. In my experience there's several available kits that all promise great results but the best I've found is one by Sonax I think one of the best guides for acrylic headlight restos was done by @devonutopiaif it's still available.
  6. I've no idea what crap as you called it you carry in your boot or for what purpose but wouldn't an easier solution be condensing the crap into boxes such as stacking euroboxes aka euro containers or KLT containers.
  7. You could find yourself failing the MoT on things like body, structure and attachments. There's no law in the UK (unless that's changed) that says you must carry a spare so if it's not on the bonnet when you go then it can't fail on that. Visibility might be an issue on the other hand. I'd just gat a roof rack and some ratchet straps and save myself the grief. As George I think said, there's the insurance aspect as well should you find yourself in an accident with a wheel where it wasn't designed to when the car left the factory.
  8. There used to be a six speed conversion kit for the Mkl 1.9TDi PD100 gearbox - basically you could add an extra cog for a sixth gear. IIRC some 1.4TDi owners swapped the fifth gear cog for a longer ratio cog using a Darkside conversion kit. No idea if something like that is available for the 1.2.
  9. The boot theory. https://moneywise.com/managing-money/budgeting/boots-theory-of-socioeconomic-unfairness#:~:text=A man who could afford,boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
  10. Lee01 replied to Lee01's topic in The Technology Shed
    Could you use your Win 10 licence key for that and was it accepted?
  11. Some people fall in love and marry objects so I suppose anything's possible. Technically she was cheating on a tree having a boyfriend. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/mum-two-who-married-tree-22672425
  12. Yeah, Ryan pretty standard. Both my MkI Fabias had delamination. Seen it on other cars as well.
  13. Your rear screen seems to be delaminating, Ryan.
  14. I'd also have suggested that it was attached to something underneath and asked for pics for clarification but exhaust related would also have been high on the list for me along with brake or fuel line - perhaps where a bodge had been done to fix a broken clip or something. I wouldn't jump straight in with accusations of malintent without knowing more.
  15. Deffo malicious > Might be attached to summat/ malicious > 'Oh yeah'
  16. As you'd imagine , like ****s. German for fox. Damned swear filter 🙄
  17. Suzuki Jimny Mercedes G-Wagen conversion. @roottoot
  18. Might be worth running Cat7 if you can. The pairs are shielded so less loss and 'crosstalk' than Cat6. Plus if faster fibre comes Cat7 can handle 10 gigabit/second over 100m as opposed to Cat6's 1 gigabit/second.
  19. When I worked on sites in the 90s you could start any plant with a Lucas ignition barrel/ key with a bent and flattened nail.
  20. I agree. This has been an ongoing thing for some time and I feel it's about time something was said about it. If anything @lol-lolhas provided some sound and completely legal fiscal advice. Maybe take your grievances up with someone higher up. His openess on here exposing the ludicrous and, in some cases, unjust system should be applauded IMO rather than mocked.
  21. I don't think that would work. I'm not 100% sure but I think the NIP exists so that goods going from NI to the UK aren't smuggled in without customs duties/ tariffs being paid. NI is, in effect, still in the Single Market whereas the UK left all that jolly nice stuff. You might find help here > https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/eu-exit-and-northern-ireland-protocol
  22. I don't follow them so had no idea but thanks
  23. Channel 5 tonight at 7pm there's a doc titled 'Should I Buy an Electric Car?' Might be worth a watch for those interested.
