More Ethanol in fuel from 2011.

by uncle bob, 21-09-2019, 09:22 AM

More doom and gloom for the motorist, 5% ethanol has been In unleaded for some time now but from 2012 that will be going upto 10%, this is not good news for some engines.
Please read...http://www.acea.be/news/news_detail/vehi..._standard/

I was concerned for my IS300, it seems the only Lexus models affected are below.
Lexus:
E10 petrol is cleared for use in all Lexus European petrol models made from January 1998, excluding:
 IS250 2.5 L V6 with engine 4GR-FSE made between August 2005 and September 2007.
 GS300 3.0 L V6 with engine 3GR-FSE made between January 2005 and September 2007.
 LS460 4.6 L V8 with engine 1UR-FSE made between August 2006 and September 2007.

The option is for us to use super unleaded only as that will onlt have 5% ethanol.

van "broken" into 2nd time

by mr2tubbyben, 21-09-2019, 07:07 AM

I have a van, which i have to park at a close up my road, due to parking being such a nightmare, unfortunately i have a problem with my central locking so have to leave it unlocked, and haven't got round to sorting it.
Last week my stereo was nicked, and this morning i got to it and the f**kers had been in there again, funny thing is it's so full of rubbish (i take all tools out of it every day) that it was just paper everywhere, nothing worth taking.I also know it's my fault for tempting the scum with open doors,
But this isn't the point, i've been brought up with the attitude that you don't touch what isn't yours without the owners permission. I get cheesed off when someone simply leans on my car!
So my options are:

1. move the van to a different location (i don't have the money at the minute to get the locks sorted)
2.stake it out over the next few nights, with a hammer in hand, and when they return, put these scum in such a state that they physically won't be able to enter a car ever again.
3.forget about it and just leave it there, after all there is nothing worth taking, and the van is definately not worth stealing considering it has a slow(ish) puncture that goes completely flat over night.lol.

Hey!

Found a broken spring(rear) when changing tyres today and need it to be replaced, but i don't know the lowering of my car.

Thanks and sorry...

I just saved my neighbour £2440 !

by BOOSST, 20-09-2019, 03:07 PM

My neighbour has an Alfa GTV, 52 plate.

She recently went on holiday and thought while she was away she would have her car MOT'd. So, if it required any work, she could have it all sorted and come back to the car ready to roll.

The garage she used, failed it on a few minor items and said she needed several bushes, seals etc replaced underneath on the suspension primarily. One particular part sadly had to have an entire section replaced because Alfa only sold it that way
They quoted her £2495 all in..hock:

THANKFULLY..she declined and said return the car home and she would sort it upon her return.

Today, I took her car for another MOT at a garage i know.. it cost £55 and passed with a couple of adviseries.....

This just goes to show how some garages are activily trying to litterally ROB some people :cursing:
I'm seriously considering going there and asking them to explain the failed MOT and quote, but I know I will end up decking some idiot out of sheer anger :thumbdown:
