    What will mix with motor oil and water?

    Check out project farms latest video on diesel additives. While I generally disregard a lot of his videos, he does a segment on their ability to emulsify water and might be exactly what you need!

    MG HS

    6000miles in 13 months? Those are rookie numbers Jet! :ROFLMAO: Glad you’re having better luck than we did with our ZS. My Mothers ‘21 MG3 has been pretty much perfect since she’s had it too.

    Small Stick Punctured Sidewall

    Thought some of you might like an update. Still can't work out how a fairly soft stick went in the tyre sideways and come out several inches away in a totally different direction. My Wife has been nagging me to email Toyo as she doesn't think the A/T tyres are fit for purpose but can't...

    How is the 1.5L Dragon EcoBoost long-term reliability?

    I assume it was because it was the very last engine developed in Fords engine plant in my hometown of Bridgend, South Wales. And, if you don't know, our Welsh flag has a huge bloody dragon on it :ROFLMAO:

    Cavity wax spraying?

    Sealey SG18 and a small 50 litre 1.5hp compressor here. Works just fine and never have to play 'catch-up' with the compressor. The SG18 is a fantastic bit of kit and 'aerosols' really well. I often spray in a void and you can see a 'mist' of product flying out of holes in the void 2-3 meters...

    Small Stick Punctured Sidewall

    Appreciate what you guys are saying about plugging it but I'm not going to go down that route. For starters I have no idea how long that stick is, I tried to pull it out and it just crumbled. For all I know there could be another 6" sat inside the tyre. Also, in the UK all tyre plugs have to...

    Small Stick Punctured Sidewall

    TPMS light came on driving home yesterday so dropped by the local fuel station to check all the tyre pressures and found the rear N/S tyre on 15psi. It was dark and I couldn't see much so carried on home. Looked this morning in the light to see a stick hanging out of the sidewall... The tyre...

    Fake Rockoil Carbon in Europe

    Is Rock Oil even reputable? They don't carry any approvals and the only place I've seen it for sale in the UK is the 'Home Bargains' chain of shops.

    Piston soak questions (search was fruitless)

    And take a look at his Yamalube Ring Free video! That stuff is seriously impressive!

    New Dacia Duster

    I often tell people that Dacias are engineered where it matters, MG's are engineered where you look. I saw a quote on Facebook the other day that made me smile, it went something along the lines of "There's first generation Dusters rocking about the UK with 200k+ miles on them acting like...

    New Dacia Duster

    It's why I keep going back to it. I'd love to swap to M1 0w40 ESP X4 but it's over double the cost of the Fuchs for similar approvals.

    New Dacia Duster

    It's been a busy few months since the last OCI. 6,084miles since the last OCI and the car has been to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester, Huddersfield, London, Bristol, Cardiff and Swansea and I'm sure there's more cities I've missed. I keep thinking about chopping it in and getting something a...

    Sears Diehard Platinum AGM

    One sits at a steady voltage when the engine is running and the AGM type drops the voltage once the battery is charged.

    Sears Diehard Platinum AGM

    If the car didn't come with one then the charging system on a non-AGM car will cook AGM batteries in a short period of time.

    Anyone running a diesel heater? Thoughts?

    My advice would be to buy a stand-alone unit, not the 'suitcase'. Install it on the floor or through the wall of the mobile-home using a turret plate. The fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel lines, combustion intake and exhaust will be outside of the mobile home and you'll just have the air intake and...

    Renault D22 1957 : old recommandations VS now.

    A 15w40 meeting A3/B4 is where I'd be going as long as I wasn't operating it regularly below -10°c or so.

    Blocked Tank Breather

    That be it! I can't find an easy way to fire compressed air down there.

    Blocked Tank Breather

    Sorry guys, should have added more information. The filler neck has no flap or valve in it. It's a single pipe from a large filler 'hole' to the tank with a second smaller pipe running parallel that terminates at the top of the filler 'hole'. I'm suspecting the seal has found it's way into...

    Anyone running a diesel heater? Thoughts?

    I have one fitted to my car! https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/new-dacia-duster.362523/page-4#post-6726310 Mine has been very reliable and provides excellent heat for low costs. My 2kw unit uses 70ml per hour on it's lowest setting rising up to 250ml flat out.
