I have the opposite problem, a load of hedges have blown over in all the storms we've been having and need to be cut down and sorted. The one that blew down next to my car was particularly unwelcome

I stuck my head under without it being jacked up and a stream was coming out of the hole at the bottom of the bellhousing. I'll look under it properly when I'm less likely to set the whole car on fire

Not very far, it's pissing gearbox oil out everywhere from what looks like the bell housing. I give up now

Under a grand all in. Cheaper than getting it repaired by a specialist, and nobody wanted to look at it without having the whole car. Transportation was almost the same as the new valve body

Thanks, who knew pulling the gearbox, replacing the internal filter, seals, and a new valve body were all I needed 🤣

This makes life wedged under a car with no room so much easier. No more battling with only being able to activate the ratchet once and taking 10 minutes on one bolt. It's even been tightening them up to the 60nm I was after

They'd have to be offering a hefty pay rise for that fuckery to even be considered

Has it gone that bad? I deleted my account a while ago as I hate the way it behaves like the worst bits of instagram

It just needs to break down for a couple of hours somewhere near midday while producing clouds of smoke.

I love the SVX. Oneday I shall own one in glorious two-tone finish

I'd probably use it more often if it weren't an absolute pig to enter destinations into. If I could get an aftermarket unit that didn't rely on badly fitting adaptors I would. The 86 unit is a more standard size than yours though

I updated the Touch&Go system in my GT86 back in Nov 23 and it's really weird about internet having to go through bluetooth internet sharing which I have to manually enable. I've yet to see if ever notice traffic though. One of the reasons I rarely use it for nav

This is the TF-80sc 6 speed. One failed due to the internal filter clogging so it couldn't build enough oil pressure, the second one broke because during fitting the torque converter slipped and got mates to the engine out of alignment, damaged the oil pump gear that later failed

Considering he's introducing AI users to his platforms he'd probably like it if they were also full of his own likeness, that freaky android

Could be similar to how Ford used to do design mockups with 3 doors on one side and 5 on the other? Having one model two colours easier than making a second one.

They'd have to find a pit of me on there first. Maybe one of my cars will be morphed into a human shape like some kind of cursed Transformer begging to be put out of its misery

As a follow up, the 940 is now working beautifully with new bleed nipples, new pads, seals, pins, springs, and fluid. The old fluid was a disturbing shade of brown and was the initial cause of the problem as it corroded the pistons when the car was sat

Who let Mitsuoka out of Japan?

I gave away a dressing table a few years ago and had endless time wasters including one person who was worried it wouldn't fit in an A4 Avant despite provided measurements. While faffing somebody came and picked it up in a Ford Ka. A4 lady tried to kick off after so I just blocked her. Mentals

It was a shame but I didn't need it considering I already have 2 controllers for just me. I just wanted one as I still have fond memories of the Christmas where I got my PS1 and still love those old games.

Nicely done. I wanted one of them and was on the Sony site at the right time to get one, but due to an issue on their end it failed to check out. For something that was meant to be a nice thing it left a bitter taste in so many mouths.
