The MG 4 and 5 EV and Maxus vans - Game changing cars & vans from SAIC
I was wondering if the forum's only for helping others fix cars, why people bother with the Health Hub or any of the other sub fora? There's forums for fixing cars, forums for photography, forums for having a laugh or sharing sorrow etc etc. You don't have to talk about things other than cars if you don't want to. There's something for everyone on Briskoda. Probably why it's so popular and long may it continue to be so

Windows 11
Interesting email from Windows Insider this morning; It seems you can run some Android apps on Win 11. You'll need to go to Microsoft Store and search for Amazon Appstore. I believe in there you can find some Android apps. I'm not currently running Windows 11 so can't say which apps are available.

Photography Thread
Yeah, match days you got the score before the radio 😂 Parking was a nightmare on their road. Police used to put yellow cones out but some weren't deterred. There'd usually be a few stern looking women who lived there with their arms crossed stood outside 😂

Photography Thread
A long time since I've been there, early 80s I guess. My uncle used to windsurf on there. Gran and grandad used to live on Railway Road right next to Old Trafford so we'd often go there. Their house backed onto Old Trafford separated by the railway (is there still a platform outside the ground?) I loved it as a kid watching the Deltic Class 55s and the Class 8 shunters going up and down into the yard there. Probably more so than the lake walks 😂

Rear seat pull catch broken
Mine were OK as well but my car had a fair few Briskoda stickers on it and one of the staff was more than aware of this site 😂

Rear seat pull catch broken
Having removed the seat covers from the front seats of a MkI Fabia to recover the heating elements, I hope the rear covers aren't as much of an absolute pig of a job. I was going to swap the elements into Polo seats but never got round to it.

Bye Bye RaRo
Jimney's are great little winter cars. They use them here for winter service with a little plough on the front and sand dispenser on the back. Ideal for clearing footpaths and drives. Lada Niva also popular for the same reason.

Was it another Goose that didn't watch the canopy? Good that it landed safely.

There's a whole thread on here (in the classics section I think) from a chap who EV'd a Favorit.

Is anyone familiar with this hub-based gearchange mechanism?
@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.

Headlamp restore fix guide foggy patchy Mot advise or fail repair
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.

Bonnet spare wheel modification
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.

Bonnet spare wheel modification
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.

Drop-in 6-speed manual gearbox replacement for a 5-speed 1.2 [Fabia MkII]?
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.

Can you ever fall in love with an EV the same way that people 'traditionally' have loved their petrol and diesel cars?
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

Yeah, Ryan pretty standard. Both my MkI Fabias had delamination. Seen it on other cars as well.

Your rear screen seems to be delaminating, Ryan.
