    Questions - Diesel engine and transmission / gearbox reliability circa 2014-2019 -BMW - Mercedes - Audi ( on small hatchback or coupe models)

    All depends on how they are looked after - apparently the key to preventing chain stretch is regular (~10k miles) oil changes to reduced oil channels blocking, whilst the F series (2012/13 on) has the replacement chain kit which is more durable (but still susceptible if oil changes aren't done...

    What is the best road tyre for Sports Bike?

    Completely agree. PR6 is awesome and coming off a sports tyre Bridgestone S22 (which I'm a big fan of on road and some track), the level of grip in all weathers is amazing. No compromise in the dry compared to the S22, yet carries on gripping in the wet whilst the S22 used to feel vague. Anyone...

    That's what I've done for years too. The BMW screen wash concentrate is great stuff and lasts for ages when properly diluted.

    ENGINE MISFIRE HELP Vauxhall Corsa 2015 1.4 Petrol

    Aren’t these stick coils? I did one on an 2016 corsa years ago after the coil failed. Retrace the misfire and try to find it to a specific cylinder by checking plugs for signs of fouling and Rich running. You could’ve replaced the coil for the wrong cylinder which won’t solve it.

    Halfords socket set

    I’ve had mine at least ten years and regularly use it across my 4 motorcycles, car and van over the years. There’s barely a week I’m not using something in it, and the majority has been great. I’ve had to replace a few individual bits but overall they’re great. Go for it.

    **New Overclockers UK HQ - Back open for Click & Collect!**

    Wow, showing my age now remembering the original unit in Fenton! Luckily I don't live in the local area anymore as I'd be commuting past the new location on a daily basis, and the need to visit would be too much to bear! Shame you no longer have a shop front, but I assume it was minuscule in...

    Forza Motorsport / 7

    As many others, been waiting years for this one and can't wait with VIP upgrade ordered. Going to be ordering a steering wheel in the near future as I've always wanted one and now in the position to buy one!

    What did you do to your bike today?

    It’s the air recirculation system to burn off unburnt fuel in the exhaust, extra air is injected to cause ignition in the exhaust and reduce emissions. It can usually be turned off by any mapping place, or you can usually remove the system and blank it (but this can throw and engine fault light)

    Airtag alternative?

    Had Tiles, now use AirTags (as an apple user). Tile's had a similar operating framework to AirTags, however I found there's just not enough Tile users such that once your item is out of bluetooth range, you're a lot less likely to find it. Having said that, my Tile sometimes would not be...

    My first drop - Oh the shame :)

    Easily done on a U-turn when starting out, VERY easily done with a pillion. The pillion results in a high CoG which you cannot directly control as they move. I'm always more careful and pre-empting with a pillion, using my foot to stabilise where needed.

    *** Xbox Series X|S - General Discussion Thread ***

    Fantastic news on the expansion cards. I was able to get a 2nd hand Seagate 1TB expansion at a reasonable price, but never liked how pricey and monopolistic they were.

    BMW and M Power Owners

    Don't need a genuine battery - AGM batteries are nothing special nor is 92Ah particularly high. I use a Bosch 95Ah AGM in my 320d, which came from the battery with a 'Banner' battery. You need an AGM battery of the same or higher Ah rating, from any supplier. Fit the new battery and use ISTA...

    Which MoHAA Clan did you play for?

    Such an iconic game, followed closely by the first couple of CoDs. I still play CoD now, but miss the purity of the old stuff before it became mainstream.

    Bikes like a Kawasaki Versys?

    Versys 650 are good albeit a little under powered. However, you've got loads of choice in the adventure-ish segment now, across a wide range of engine sizes to suit you. For alternatives consider, Triumph Tigers Suzuki V-Strom Ducati Multistrada KTM Adventure 890/990/1190/1290 (890/1290 are...

    DVLA - Forgot to Apply for V5C

    The person or business selling you the vehicle should notify the DVLA (by post or online) of a change of ownership, which will transfer the V5C to your name for free - you do not (normally) have to do anything else. You are provided the green slip as a temporary proof that you're the registered...
