And the troll is revealed :)
Davew, I'd better point out now that ;) is a smiley that means "Wink". ie the post is not to be taken too seriously, or literally. Just in case I use it again.
HAHAHAHAHAHAAH yes. nice one. I can see the clear link :)
The 64-year-old computer scientist will unveil a series of standards in Berlin today over fears of increasing online threats such as electoral interference by foreign powers, hate speech, invasion of privacy and disinformation.
Relax, it's only the internet.
Well, it's got to happen one way or another. IMO being first just means we're ready first, and possibly more prepared to mitigate the issues that will occur if/when others lag behind. We're not going to be as badly affected as some South Sea Islanders, but we might end up with London being flooded out. Possibly a good thing ;)
Why not swap the driver pack (or just the whole valve block/compressor if you like) from the coiled car into one of your running cars before going any further. It should give you some peace of mind that the most complex bit is working.
ouch! Don't they make any changes for LPG?
Best of luck with the sale, sorry I can't help out - I'm still fighting hard to keep the one I have!
Do they differ from the standard ones? If they're standard, Island4x4 will sell you a full set (Britpart) for very little: https://www.island-4x4.co.uk/spring-fitting-full-isl003-p-5234.html
If they're different for Arnott bags, I guess you'll have to ask Arnott. We don't seem to have as many Arnott users over here, possibly due to the shipping costs and poor warranty support for overseas customers.
That's not just a tune up! You must be running rich as hell....
-3 here this morning, strangely the P38 was appropriated by SWMBO due to heated seats and windcreen!
Pure unadulterated p38 filth, you mean?
It's a factor, I'm sure but my jeep is on 235/75r15 and rides much stiffer than the Duchess on 255/55r18. If I had a criticism of the P38 setup it would be that the roll bars are way too soft but that could be a compromise due to the variable ride height.
I suspect the first emergency stop would be very frightening indeed.
Bobcat. A mate of mine has a D90 body on a shortened RR classic chassis. Fun thing 😀
The mountain symbol is the current marking for winter capable tyres and supersedes the M+S mark (often still used).
In some countries the mountain symbol is required on all cars in the winter (notably Germany). But M+s will suffice until a certain changeover date. If you're looking to drive on the continent, the rules vary by country quite widely despite the EU.
Point is, even the mountain symbol covers a range of tyres. My AT Grabbers have both markings despite being more of an all season, all terrain tyre. The AT2 were also marked with both symbols and were very good in the snow but its hard to compare all seasons and full winter tyres between a Jeep and a BMW. I'd think the Michelin Alpin are a better snow tyre but I wouldn't run them year round.
The p38 was perfectly happy on Grabber AT in snow a couple of years ago lthough it wasn't a fierce winter.
Winter tyres are magic. As I've said before, I was able to drive a 325i Touring 1990 through a very snowy winter (2011 IIRC) using Michelin Alpins. Some days I was driving in inches of snow on top of ice and yes, I had to be careful but it worked just fine.
One day we stopped to give a woman a lift who was just sobbing by the side of the road. She had enough on a hilly road and couldn't face sliding down any more hills out of control. The little BMW just drove straight up and down to work where we gave her a coffee and she waited until the black ice burnt off.
Some days mine was the only 2wd car I saw, let alone RWD.
Also, 4wd lets you accelerate on snow but it does nothing for braking. All season tyres are good but full winter tyres are amazing.
convert it to LPG and you'll be even! :)
Diesel gennies in the outback for EVs? lol, that's priceless.
As for the election, well who knows? The Tories are ahead in the polls but they were last time too and it didn't turn out as predicted. The Brexit party have just said they won't fight in Tory held seats, which should prevent the Leave vote being split in those constituencies but doesn't really help in the marginals where the difference will be made either way. Remain are doing something similar, but seeing as the SNP basically have Scotland anyway, and the Lib Dems are the classic third place party we don't know what difference that will make.
All to play for, as they say.
