For years we stopped ourselves from getting a dog because we were working all day. Everywhere you look suggests it's not fair and totally negligent to leave them. I changed my job last year that allows me to work from home for 3 days a week. Those 3 days I work from home I do not see the dogs...

You're in the UK! Go buy 5 litres of Fuchs Titan GT1 XTL Flex 3 5w40. It carries BMW LL04 approval along with some of the most stringent approvals out there like VW 511 and Porsche C40. You can pick it up as cheap as £30 for 5 litres or £100 for 20 litres. It's my one-size-fits-all oil at the...

This has been a huge issue in the UK too! Would love to adopt a rescue dog, but with two young kids at home we had to opt for a puppy. A puppy which ended up being two puppies because one of the siblings in the litter was missing a paw and nobody wanted him so we ('we' being my Wife) offered...

I believe the 4WD Duster is similarly priced to the top of the range MG ZS. Dacia have increased the warranty to 7 years for new and existing cars... https://www.dacia.co.uk/maintenance/dacia-zen.html If you haven't seen it already, I've been keeping a little bit of a diary going on here for...

I'm currently in the market for a small 50cc quadbike for my 6 year old son. I've found a few that are missing engines or have seized engines and have made enquiries. Once I've found a suitable unit I'd love to install lights and 52mm gauges such as a rev counter, speedometer and a head temp...

Could it be the oxygen sensor providing poor information? Have you tried a good fuel system cleaner to clean any injectors that may be performing poorly and maybe the oxygen sensors too?

I've since done some research on the engines and it does appear that the 1.5DVVT and the 1.0TGDi is from the same 'family' of GM engines. The 1.5DVVT is totally gutless. As the revs build it does start to pick it's dress up and get a shift on but it's never in any great hurry to do so. It's...

Yet in Europe they are probably considered the most reliable out of nearly every single brand! I think I've said it here before, but they must only export the models built on a Friday afternoon to the US. We just get the good ones! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Agreed. I've lost count on the amount of times I've almost bought a Rover 75 V8 or an MG ZT V8 but my Wife has said no! :ROFLMAO: I believe they're built in China. Just like the Dacia Duster is littered with Renault logos, the MG ZS is littered with SAIC Motors logos.

Interesting watch! Shame they don't do the tests with a four wheel drive Duster. The FWD Duster has the suspension from a Renault Capture where as the 4WD Duster has the suspension from a Nissan X-Trail (or Rogue as they're called over in the US). The biggest issue with the MG in the handling...

Not quite sure what the purposes of those bands are for. They are like that on every 1.5DCi engine. Maybe to stop the hose collapsing under compression when the engine moves? Typically that hose would connect to the front mounted intercooler, but on this later 'BlueDCi' it has a block-mounted...

Unless US phones are different, the iPhone 15 Pro sold here in the UK is advertised as having dual sim functionality with a Micro SIM slot and eSIM.

We are having similar issues in this country. We have immigrants that are travelling across Europe through perfectly safe countries to the UK just because we are a soft touch and will house them and give them £1,600 every month in benefits. Meanwhile affordable housing is non existent, our...

Wish we could get M1 that cheap over here! M1 ESP X3 0w40 is about 75 USD (at todays exchange rate) over here for 5 litres.

You sure? I've not long got an iPhone 15 (and I hate it, but that's another story) and it's got a sim tray?
