Re: Nsf noise

Imagine how much Ford would charge you for one of those ! £4/500.
Even £35 is a 'steal', real value for money.

Re: Bad news at the pump

If you REALLY want to know what future the State has planned for us , read the report on UKFIRES.ORG.
It is THE official State website , so no problem with viruses ,etc.
You might want a stiff drink close at hand , be warned.

Re: Bad news at the pump

Unless you live in an area growing sugar-cane, the whole 'green' ethanol addition is just a scam.
More fuel is used in creating ethanol from barley , by ploughing, sowing,harvesting, refining , delivering, than what you produce at the end.
Lots of nice subsidies though to collect in the process.

Re: Trailing Arm Bushes

NO, NO, NO.
At £43 each they are way over spec.
Ordinary bolts are plenty strong enough to do the job , just look on ebay at ALL the M12 options , there is one there somewhere.

Re: Bad news at the pump

Put simply , ethanol is bad, bad, bad but for the green brigade it is classed as 'renewable'. Having wrecked older engines with E5 , the 'Coup-de-grace' comes with a double dose , E10. That's twice as much water as before . Never mind that it is produced from barley, wheat, etc,, highly subsidised, ...
