    Winter/Cold weather tyre - What do people recommend?

    Well those are extreme winter tyres, they are not optimised for dry roads. I thought the tyres on the CSL were practically slick?

    Winter/Cold weather tyre - What do people recommend?

    In terms of saving your life, imagine driving along a major road when a car about to enter fails to stop at the give-way sign because of the conditions. This situation happened to me in Canada a few times (amazingly even in Alberta winter tyres are not mandatory in all places). With winter tyres...

    Winter/Cold weather tyre - What do people recommend?

    Yeah totally chap. In fact I'm going to go and buy a new car tomorrow. I've decided about the following: Winter tyres - definitely not worth it, only snows 2% of the time. Who cares about the fact that not only are they infinitely better in snow, they're also as good if not better than summer...

    Boots, shoes....

    It's just humour. It's why I park boats and drive planes. It's countersignalling and demonstrates higher knowledge.

    Drove into the back of someone

    That's why you need to make a settlement soonish and get a legally viable document stating they accept any payment as a full and final settlement. They seriously NEED to sort this out in the UK insurance industry, and the docs need to wake up and smell the BS when people come into hospital...

    Don't a lot of N54 engines with the twin turbos suffer from fuel pump issues? I thought that was why BMW switched over to the single turbo.

    Do you want a free tyre guage?

    Aye he should be fine checking his tyre pressures once a year! (Do they even check tyre pressures at an MOT?) It does worry me how infrequently a massive majority of drivers pay attention to things like that.

    Who decides what is acceptable?

    I don't understand how on earth the policy can be said to favour the wealthy? I mean - everyone gets the same loan to cover all the fees. Why would coming from a poor family have any effect on your ability to pay it back? If you are capable enough to need to go to university then you will...

    Who decides what is acceptable?

    Today in London people were yelling 'TORY SCUM, TORY SCUM'. Well... I fell if I had been yelling 'LABOUR SCUM, LABOUR SCUM' at a protest I'd have been judged far more harshly. Why is this? Also AFAIK only about 5% of people in Lonon have red hair while 15% are black. So gingers are more of a...

    Cam Belt Question

    My 2004 3.0V6 definitely had a belt. Do you know much Audi dealers charge in the USA to replace a timing belt and water pump? $1800. Yes.

    Cam Belt Question

    Could be? Why would it be different in Europe? I thought chain driven and belt driven engines were fairly different? If any engine could have a chain, why don't all engines use them?

    Educate Me - Why have rotary engines never really taken off?

    They have taken off! Many times! Many planes had rotary engines up until the war :)

    Cam Belt Question

    Exactly - and that's the Audi service schedule! In other words, no mention of changing any timing belts other than at the bottom!
