Re: Electric vehicles, pros and cons. Have your say.

Maybe they'll realise windows you can see out of are more important than pillars so strong you can pile trucks on roof too. But somehow I doubt they'll ever get that sensible. Even my 10 plate V50 was terrible for that, the blind spot at the A post could literally lose pedestrians and the B post me...

Re: EBay Finds

What a mentalist. That thing was getting a proper move on. Normally when you see that sort of stunt speed like that isn't involved.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

I used to do the odd but of welding when I was younger in an exhaust factory but it's a skill I really want to learn properly. Especially considering I own a Peugeot and a ford. Just buy one and play and practice then! Mines getting on for 30 years old, cost 150 quid and does a good job or spend mo...

Pity I'm not nearer, I'm cheap.

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

125-130bhp is ok without an intercooler. The next step up on remapping is 155bhp but intercooler highly recommended at that as well as a decat but I'm decatting this soon anyway. Easy enough job to do,just fit an inlet manifold and intercooler from an rhz 110 2.0 HDI. They never was fitted in the B...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

This van has near on full service history and I change oil every 3-4k. It's the RHY 90bhp 8v HDI so pre dmf and coded injectors. Doesn't even have an intercooler but that may be getting fitted. Is remapped though so around 130bhp. Not mapped for power,more for mid range torque. I'd think it could s...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

Just to clarify about welding,it's outer sill has a 20p sized spot of rust but still solid on driver side and a bit bigger patch outer sill passenger side. Again it's solid so may be better to treat it before it gets worse. 27836361_10159929920090481_45000977_o.jpg 160k is nothing on a motor if loo...

Re: What did you do today?

Gave the Reno a 10 mile test drive (on private roads obvs) IMG_20240310_154840474.jpgIMG_20240309_171854579.jpg The auto box isn't great. Bit of a struggle on the hills. Hopefully an oil change would help it. Can you just stick it under cover for another 3 years or so? Looks bloody tidy and would m...
