Just did a few 2 hour stints on 737-800's and found them very loud. I certainly wouldn't want to spend more than a few hours in one. Although Ryanair's seats didn't help, they're like deck chairs.

That's the same filter I used to have on the B47. Rightly or wrongly, It felt far safer to pop the nipple into the required slot and then put the lid on afterwards.

Does the B47 use the same oil filter? When I had my B47 I always used to put the filter in the housing and then the lid on top and never had any issues.

Also worth adding that I had a 2020 BMW 5 Series with a 48v starter generator that could spin the engine up instantly. That was one of the only start/stop systems that was tolerable but I still turned it off in favour of (hopefully) timing chain longevity.

I actually really struggle driving hybrids because the constant switching on and off of the engine really bothers me. Even driving at 70mph+ down the motorway, every time you lift off the throttle the engine shuts straight down, then as soon as you apply power again it fires back up again. I...

We only use CCS on this side of the pond, Teslas included.

I think the older Subaru Justy was a Suzuki Swift but with four wheel drive. I remember looking at them as an option for a different to the norm first car back in 2010. I was a bit sad when I realised they weren't flat fours. I do love the sound of a flat four with a set on unequal length headers!

Nearly all the Toyota Aygo's, Citroen C1's and Peugeot 108's are manuals over here. Great little cars they are too! Had one of my most enjoyable cross country dashes ever in my Wife's old 2015 Citroen C1 back in 2016. Could thrash the living daylights out of it without really worrying about...

I run the cheapest ACEA A3/B4 I can put my hands on in my Sister In Law's Toyota Aygo with the same engine. In fact, I think the last two fills have been with Tesco 15w40 which I picked up for £5/5 litres in a sale a few years back.

I'd order some M1 5w50 X2 from Autodoc and call it a day. It has the same add pack as the much loved M1 0w40 FS, but is a little bit thicker. Usually pick up M1 0w40 or M1 5w50 at 4 litres for less than £40 delivered from Autodoc. You're going to get a lot of suggestions on here for oils we...

I'm in Wales, but it's all the same island with much the same weather. On a 15°c+ day taking it easy I can see upwards of 250 miles. This drops down to ~200miles in the cold weather. However, this is little to do with the HVAC and more to do with the batteries abilities at colder weather...

Little update as I've had the car a two months now. Have a few issues with the car and really need to get it booked into the dealer. I have a front end knock that sounds like an anti-roll bar link, the driveshafts are clicking when you go from drive to reverse or vice versa (a common issue)...

Is it Auto-RX or is it just good synthetic oils and conservative intervals?

Yes, it's these we have. I bought two sets recently. One for my Wife's Volvo and the other for her girlfriends Toyota CHR and they're both jumpy and streaky. I usually use Bosch Aerotwins but happened to pass these in Costco so thought to try them. Strange.

We have Michelin branded wipers here in the UK at our Costco's. Not sure if they're the same items but if they are I can confirm they're terrible.

What type of battery is it? It's likely that type may not need venting.

Worth linking the block heater to an external thermostat so it only kicks in when the external temp drops below a certain threshold? I'd imagine M1 0w40 would be more than man for this and have no issues pumping well into minus figures.

Where in Wales did you visit?

Back in early 2021 we had a bit of snow and I took my Son (who was about 18 months old at the time) up to my in laws at 6am. Their housing estate is at the bottom of a steep hill. I was in my Wife's Mondeo ST220 wearing Dunlop Sportmaxx RT2's and I could not get back up the hill to get out of...

Your website seems to back up what I already thought. I'm looking for a winter tyre that I can put on either side of the car without having to have the tyre remounted in the correct direction. These are generally called Asymmetrical over here. This is kind-of the feeling I'm getting. In which...
