    Ukraine Invasion - Please do not post videos showing attacks/similar

    Sounds like you have a reliable source with inside intelligence from the negotiations. :D …I hope, however unlikely, an agreement can be reached. The emerging humanitarian misery is catastrophic for all people - particular impact and immediacy for Russians and Ukrainians.

    Afghanistan - 20 years on

    It’s not about the space though? It’s about the ground operations!

    Afghanistan - 20 years on

    Sadly, it’s not quite a decision between life and death of dogs; but rather a trade of life and death of men, women & children OR dogs. It’s not the space on the plane or the hold that’s the problem, it’s the fact that this isn’t Heathrow airport with orderly queues for processing, but an...

    ** The Official Apple HomePod/HomePod mini thread **

    Can the stereo pair be used as MacBook speakers? I often airplay to a HomePod for podcasts and music, a stereo pair in the office would be nice upgrade

    How To Acquire A Newer Car?

    With a lease typically you can do a 3+, 6+ or 9+ arrangement. I'd say go for a lease, if you've got a good job title and can get a letter saying you've got a car allowance then most lease companies will give you the car at the ['business price'+ the 20% vat] which often saves between 0-20% over...

    How To Acquire A Newer Car?

    Don't forget that the car allowance is taxed/NI so could only actually be roughly £3.1k if you pay 40% tax and £4.2k if you pay 20% and somewhere in between if that £5,300 tips the balance. It all depends on how much you want to dip into your salary to run the car. On £3.1k a year you won't be...

    Feeling a little like a lemon.

    I was sent the wrong part (for a newer car), when I took it out to inspect the number of pin's on the connectors didn't match!

    Feeling a little like a lemon.

    Decided to replace the n/s headlight on my car today, after the top plastic headlight mount snapped on it so it wobbled very slightly on bumpy roads. Woke up this morning, pulled connector out of existing unit and removed screws, transferred bulbs into new unit, fitted the new unit and...

    Proper Break-In?

    I think for a road going engine, just running it pretty normally, not too grandma like (won't stretch the con-rods fully), not too aggressive, nor labouring the engine for long (too much heat build-up) but just heat cycle the engine, up and down a few hills to let it heat and cool as it works...

    Roughly how much will a body shop charge to spray these trim pieces?

    As rough guide I'd look to: Sand the part using 120 grit (depending on the 'texture' you may be able to start with 240, or you may have to go for 80), then using a flat block work through the grits to about 400 and fill any flat spots that might've developed. Clean the panel and spray one/two...

    205 55 16 - what tyre doesn't suck?

    Bridgestone RE002? Got them on my daily runabout in a different size mind. Lot's more feedback through the wheel compared to the kumhos i had fitted before hand. Or maybe Pirelli P7?

    Insurance Query

    Summary: I'm the sole driver on an insurance policy (my only policy as I fancied driving a classic for a year everyday!) and I'm about three weeks from the end of the policy. I'm told by the insurance company that because of the age of my vehicle they will only issue me with a "Claim free...

    Southern drivers in the snow!

    I've been driving the MG in the snow :D no servo's, electronic gizmo's or whatever. Just some skinny tyres, direct rack and pinion steering plus plenty of concentration and it's loads of fun :p

    Old car problems...!! (A series engine woes!)

    Yep as I service it regularly as I use my MG daily. ;) I did check it though. :) Thanks everyone for the responses. I seem to have fixed it with a good clean of the ignition system and a new set of spark plugs. The 3rd cylinder was misfiring and causing it to be lumpy and I think I'm going...

    Old car problems...!! (A series engine woes!)

    This was one of my initial thoughts in the morning but I figured it would be a consistent problem and not so intermittent. That pair were top of my written out list for tomorrow morning alongside a sticking carb. :) True :p LOL! :p I considered a K series engine conversion but I've...

    Old car problems...!! (A series engine woes!)

    Hi, I've been trying to diagnose whats causing my A series engine to run abnormally today. Drove it yesterday and it ran lovely on a long trip, topped up my oil (does drink a bit with 50 years of use :p ). Came to start it up today and needed an usual level of choke and seemed a little rough...
