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

Recently I looked at one of these as a potential replacement for our Citigo, when we need to replace it, whose normal longest journey is about 60 miles to Norwich and back. That'll do about 360 or so miles on a full tank, so Oxford and back if we go and see our youngest. Given that the Up! starts f...

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

And a far shorter range. It's reported range is 136 miles which we know it'll never see as none of the manufacturers seem to be able to tell the truth, maybe a 100 miles if it's cold, maybe less? The saloon is quite capable of 50mpg on a run if you go steady and it's got a 70 litre tank. So yes, yo...

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

I just saw the vid on the new * Dacia they are releasing here for the first time. A step in the right direction, they've managed to get it to weigh about a tonne. The low power version is 45bhp!

That's half what my shitty 30 year old Pug has and virtually the same weight. Talk about progress :lol:

Re: Sics Consolidated Faded Moderns Thread - 2003 E320 & 2006 Golf Mk5 GTI

A bit of luck having that pulley and removal tool! I like the scrawl on the box too so you have some idea of what it is inside, always a good nudge of memory when you are looking for stuff or moving it around from time to time. I tried getting the pulley off the alternator I bought the other month a...

Re: Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

Is that a safe thing to do? I'm wary of alloy repairs generally. I've just had a google of this and none of the places near me give a price so I'll have to phone around tomorrow I suppose I've got one to do on my car at some point as it keeps randomly going down. I'll be going to the Blacksmiths, h...

Re: Found pics

The Hillman was called the Paikan in Iran. A 1970s newspaper article stated that the new Hillman “Pickup/Ute” is now powered by an Iranian built engine and a variety of new models are on offer to the Iranian market.
