He has wellies, and maybe already has Dubarry's. If not then that is the way to go.

Help is at hand.

It was cylinder 3.

@Lady Elanore You can take the Loon out of Forfar but not Forfar out of the Loon. He needs boots for going to the dancing.

@Aspman Enjoy. I will be doffing my cap and giving the traditional wave.

I used them just because they helped with hitting pot holes, or as i thought and think, saves me replacing as many wrecked tyres. The sidewalls of various All Season & Winter tyres are pretty prone to damage / bulges IME. That is from me or people driving my cars hitting them and various things like ironworks on roads, or hiiting the 'Ramp' / Steel cover or cut tar at roadworks on an edge. Maxxis AP2 which is reinforced and still got an egg. Not always my wrecked tyres were 'Driver error'.

Not a comparison on costs annually of a EV vs ICE vehicle. What i know is that for me doing journeys of any length in Scotland i am paying nothing to charge the EV as using free charging places, but for every 150 miles travelled if journeys are meaning charging will be required on route i now allow an extra hour minimum per 150 miles travelled. That means if in a hurry to get someplace as in no time to waste sitting getting energy in to the car, so over say 180 miles i will not go in my EV and just pay for the petrol or diesel. The other thing is i will not drive a EV if there is adverse weather such as heavy rain and flood risks or snow & snow gates shutting so the chance of routes closing like the A83, A93, A939 or B974 meaning long diversions and the chance of convenient rapid chargers not being available even if paying for them. As it is Mobile Phone and radio reception is not reliable Scotland Wide let alone the EV Charging, and getting chargers to start. You might well need to call a 'Call Handler' to get chargers started. https://www.zap-map.com/tools/journey-cost-calculator

Waiting in anticipation of the news on what the new addition to @Aspman's fleet is.

Basically if Skoda's top of the range Superb that might be used as a Taxi or Airport Transport and carry 5 people and luggage can not go at the UK NSL or a bit quicker on a road with bends and humps without the suspension bottoming out there is something very wrong. If it can not drive well at 60 mph or more with just a driver then basically it is crap. It really really does very fast at 60 mph. It gets to 60 mph really really quick. All has all the gear and the suspension options required & all you need to do is steer. (Lots of engines on offer if economy wanted, Briskoda member note...)

The XL are the reinforced sidewalls which might be a good idea where you do your driving. The V are higher speed rated than the H so maybe a good idea if you drive in Continental Europe on lovely dry roads quickly. The out of stock is just that, and @Carlston will be able to explain the rest and tell you why you should buy new smaller wheels and fit narrower tyres to get tyres cheaper.

This is the head wear of choice these days for Hardcore offroaders / Toyota drivers

@the_worrier maybe @Itsrelfy does not get notifications even if you use their name, and they have not signed in since the 5th.

Just a quickie as the discussion can be had i one of the dozen fuel threads on the Forum. Winter Spec Diesel & Petrol is now being delivered to Fuel Stations in Scotland and will be until the end March 2021 The Haulage industry, fleet buyers, Taxis etc know what their fuel usage is as do people that buy their fuel and watch consumption. So think of last weeks weather where you drive and next weeks when you are using Winter Spec Diesel or Petrol in Scotland and Winter has not set in and a big drop in temperatures and maybe you are using the same tyres, ? Has your fuel consumption increased with the winter fuel or not, is it worse by any significant amount? I think not. Those that think that additives are added to stop waxing means that the fuel you buy then produces less energy (it is diluted) and you pay tax and duty to get the same volume of liquid but are getting less miles / km from that are badly mistaking. Some might find that if the weather last week and next week are the same and the Winter Spec fuel is now in your tank the economy improves. http://vitalequipment.co.uk/collections/carless-hiperflo

No. 1 Heated steering wheel light on the wheel not lighting, and not sure yet if the wheel is actually heating correctly. (Not surprised really as it was far too hot when working...) Possible No. 2. Noticed the 'Range' seems to be staying on 111 miles as max when charging even to 98% the last few days. Need to see next time i go for a few miles drive. It has been pretty much showing 150, 180, 190 miles up to now from anything like 90-98% charge. So the 2nd Frosty morning of driving it and there was the need for de-icer, and the use of heated seat and steering wheel. (Not that cold that the interior heat would have cleared the screen in a few minutes.) Car heated quickly inside and heated seat and steering wheel worked. Did a few miles of toasty driving, stopped to charge car to full before going on a long run later and now no Heated Steering wheel 'Light on' Car showing 111 miles again as the range.

Great Vid but. Where is the fuel tank, how big is the fuel tank, where is the fuel filler. To run the engine to run the generator how many miles to the litre (MPG) do you get to actually drive from say London to Scotland.

Grant Shapps MP has seemingly approved these starting from the Autumn this year. Actually a Green Flash where a Country Identifier or EU marker would be. http://news.motors.co.uk/news/green-number-plates-to-be-introduced-for-electric-cars

This Zoe Brake Fluid change surprised me cost wise.

Part 1.

Maybe a competitor to the new Skoda Enyaq. The range with the Opel / Vauxhall might not match the Skoda.
