@Graham Butcher Please stop banging on about ice cubes in a glass as being an accurate analogy for melting sea ice. It’s been debunked a hundred times by actual scientists. If you want to find reliable information you just need to look for peer reviewed science papers and journals. Why? Because the peer review process is what weeds out crap studies and shady practices like P-Hacking. Some lad making YouTube videos in his kitchen is probably not getting his content peer reviewed or fact checked before uploading. AntarcticGlaciers.orgWhat is the global volume of land ice and how is it chang...Most (99.5%) of the permanent ice in the world is locked up in ice sheets and glaciers. The Antarctic Ice Sheet is the largest store of frozen freshwater; it would raise sea levels by 58.3 m on ful...Link above shows that nearly 10% of the world’s surface area is covered just by the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. And they are well over 500m thick in parts. So spread that out across the total earths surface in a full melt and basic maths - 50m rise in water level ignoring existing land mass area just putting the depth of ice as water everywhere. I’m not sending you this stuff as a PM, not to join in the public personal attacks that I’ve been asking everyone to stop but because I think it’s important for everyone to see this and realise what I’m trying to get across. The amount of terrible science that gets reported on as fact without proper review or replication of results is infuriating. And pseudoscience lives in the crap experimentation. Here’s a good place to start learning how much junk science is out there - https://www.skepdic.com/ All compiled by actual scientists, experts in the fields who use the scientific method in their work and researchers who examine actual evidence not just hearsay etc to find answers.

Maybe, but… do the cabin lights and door open light on the dash function properly? I’d be checking the wiring through the b pillar bellows into the door for any fraying or cracks. And also the block connectors for water damage.

Oh Lee, not you too… NASA aren’t a reliable source of REAL science information 🤦🏼♂️ 🤣🤣

My post literally explained why that analogy is pointless. And is bunk science used to form a narrative of climate change denial. Here’s a better experiment Put a jam jar lid on a small plate. Pour water onto the plate around the lid, to just below the top of the lid. Put the ice cubes on the lid. Wait for them to melt and then see how that water level is around your jam lid island… That is what happens when the ON LAND glaciers melt. As for “documents that prove the scam” that will NEVER be released because they probably don’t exist… Actual documents and studies exist and are available to read showing that Exxon knew fossil fuel consumption was causing climate change in the 70s and how they could bury the truth and then position themselves to take advantage of (profit from) the changes they were predicting into the future. So, I advise you go and read some actual peer reviewed science papers on the subject and stop posting misinformation or I’ll report the posts for spreading misinformation.

I love when people roll out the “an ice berg melting doesn’t raise sea levels, so the Arctic melting won’t change anything!” argument, because it’s like listening to a flat earther describe why the horizon isn’t real. Loads of technobabble and science words, but doesn’t actually hold water (hah, water humour) when applied to actual science. Yes, It’s true, the Arctic SEA ICE melting isn’t itself a major risk factor for rising sea levels, because it is an ocean. However 2 things - 1) the reduction in the annual surface area of artic sea ice IS indicative of rising average temperatures. I hope why is fairly self explanatory. 2) the glaciers that are melting in, eg, Greenland and the Antarctic are ON land. So when they melt and fall into the ocean that water DOES cause an increase in the oceanic water volume thus DOES cause sea levels to rise. And the volume of water frozen in those glaciers is HUGE, so all of them melting or just sliding into the sea will be a major rise in levels. It’s been asked in several other threads to not post unsupported or just down right wrong information. So here’s another reminder for in here too. If a report or study or experiment has not had its results peer reviewed and accepted as accurate there’s a good chance it’s ****e science or comes with an agenda.

That suggests a dying injector to me.. on cylinder 4. If you can, swap 1 & 4 around, then re scan. If the massive difference also changes cylinder, that’s more vidence that the one currently in 4 is on the way out. It’s pretty common.

Welcome back! I keep saying it… everyone always comes back 🤣

@pab567 if you send the above new member a pm first, they can reply to you with their vin 👌

@yetitwins You’ve got your answer!

This. I wouldn’t go trying to pull the cover off expecting to find a random hole there. That’s the MIB unit for the screen.

Oh my god. This is definitely now the bitchiest busiest thread on here. Guys, Seriously ease up on all the personal slagging and unveiled insults! Colin is big on self regulation but as we know when things get very dirty he and the mods will step in and force a ceasefire.. I only pop in here every few days and in the 4 days since my last advice there’s been 6 more pages of just pure arguments and insults fired back and forth. It’s gonna get locked if ye don’t start breathing more slowly before posting. Here’s a line ———————————————— Now, why not pretend the previous 435 pages of bickering doesn’t exist and start again with some civility? New line and attitudes start here? Or I will report this… ———————————————————

Any photos of the wiring? I know the early citigos has issues with the seal around the rear light clusters letting water through to the boot which pooled in the wheel well. Worth checking that.
-
Check the wiring from the switch for continuity or fraying

Morning! Sounds like you do have quite the Skoda history alright 🤣 And if your parents do still have the Felicia, there’s an entire section of the forum dedicated to the classics 😊 so you can learn and share info on that car too!
-
What do you want to know about the car?

Is it 20 posts? @robinio pop back to the hellos section and say hi to a few fellow members. That’ll help get your count up to unlock the private messaging feature. The requirement is there to help reduce the impact of spammers.

shtory buddy! Welcome to Briskoda 👍🏻

I have a CAYC. It’s a fuel efficient engine but not exactly built for tuning…

@Tech1e was a bit of a resident expert in this system if I recall correctly 🤞🏻

Good morning from Ireland, and welcome to Briskoda! Now you are a member, you will discover that there is a whole lot of other areas of the site you don’t see when not a member, so happy exploring!

Welcome back! We always come back 😂 Can you remember your old username? Admins might be able to help get your old account going again if you want?
