  1. Worked for a Mitsubishi dealer mid 2000s , Mitsubishi used o supply Police & the wombles ( Highways ) with hugely discounted base model cars such as Shoguns etc , reckoned it was good advertising for them , i remember we had a police Shogun recovered to us with a seized engine well out of warranty . Mitsi supplied & fitted an engine Foc approx £10k s worth .
  2. Ok so my understanding is Evs are to cut down on use of fossil fuels , the batteries are constructed of lithium mainly mined in South America & South Africa causing massive deforestation by huge machinery ( usually diesel powered ) . The many components are shipped around the world to construct the vehicle i am led to believe that an Ev will have covered around 24k miles in construction . The majority of our electric comes from fossil fuel powered stations , no one wants nuclear plus solar wind etc are still relatively small producers . there is not the infrastructure to cope with E

  7. DVSA have been trying to raise MOT testing from 1 year to 2 years before this , the IMI and other motoring organisations want it left at 1 year which makes sense .As regards the 6 month extension you have to keep your car legal and fully roadworthy

The Knob head who owns the local caravan site ( he s on the local council ) hasn t shut it !!! , They few shops we have the ve emptied .

  15. Electric cars ?? , many of the parts that go inot manufacturing them come from different places all over the world and have to be shipped to an assembly point . creating an already massive carbon travel foot print before the cars hit the road . Where does electric come from ?? mainly fossil fuelled power stations . So we all buy an electric car land home from work at 6 pm put the tea on plug the car in , huge surge , the national grid trips out . Think ill keep me diesel pickup .
  16. Shot 22lr for last thirty odd years or so , used correctly quiet cheap accurate capable round , owned .17 Hmr for a while noisy , expensive rounds , mixed feelings on accuracy , sold it when i had a misfire and a round became stuck in the barrel ( google HMR misfires ) . i was not overly impressed with the HMR prefer .22 . Rather than Hmr i would pick .22 Hornet . I am sure many will disagree with me , but those are my thoughts .

    New layout

    Prefer the old one , dont like this
  18. A few points to be wary of , fuel pump issues apparently parts for them are expensive to come by now , poor service history / lack of oil changes can lead to timing chain stretch , manual gearbox dual mass flywheels can give grief , 4wd system transfer box switches are a common problem , brake and fuel lines can corrode on older vehicles , check rear springs for breaking, check for over heating head gasket issues , just a few areas to be wary of ( i have many years experience of these vehicles )
  19. Engine oil leaking in to wiring looms and entering ECU , Water leaks , Air suspension issues , Corrosion , Pas boxes to name few
  20. There is a difference , quad / bike oil has correct additives for wet pack clutches , motor oil has wrong additives . Correct oil has got to be cheaper than replacing a clutch pack .I think Morris oils do a correct oil at a sensible price .
  21. Series Land cruiser best 4x4 by far .
  22. Ran a mk 5 Hilux for near 8 yrs bombproof truck , no issues held its value . Swapped it 5 months ago looked at a Dmax thought it was a bit cheaply finished ended up buying another Hilux , far better finished but you pay for it .
