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.

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

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'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.
