A tough choice indeed, but i will opt for the Avro Vulcan. Reminds me of the Airshows of the 70s when i was a Boy. The howl from those four Bristol Olympus engines still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. A wonderful aircraft.

10 Litres of MB229.52 and a Mahle 380 OX for the Jeep New Resistor for heater fan and new pollen filter for my Mrs' GM Astra.

Hi. So your ammunition choice for your M-61 was mission dependant? I did not know that. Was ground/surface strafing something you would practice in the F-14?

Hi. Great new video describing the ejection sequence from an F14, and the conditions that led to that ejection. I think some of the issues mentioned are pertinent to threads on other posts. It would be great if @Astro14 could perhaps chip in too. Apologies to those you have watched it, but it is...

I would use T6, but for some reason Shell do not sell it in UK.

Hi. I wonder if there is any difference between the premium diesel sold by the big oil companies and the standard diesel when we have added our miller's or archoil products? Do they just use the same chemicals we add but on an industrial scale?

Hi Fwiw, i always use a Diesel additive for use in my Mercedes OM642. In eight years of ownership i have had no issues with EGR or turbo vanes. I have no DPF. Maybe i would have had no issues had i not used the additive, who knows? The additive i use is as follows. Maybe someone could explain...

Interesting to see that NAPA now offer three oils that are approved by Mercedes. The Mannol looks interesting if it is available in OZ. Very cheap in UK. It also has MB approval. Also the genuine Mercedes branded Oil is very reasonably priced here. Try an Oz dealer and ask for the 'Lube...

1997 Land Rover Freelander. Complete junk. The head gasket was almost a service item. 4x4 system was prone to seize. Always needed something fixing. Was rust prone too.

Hi. My usual choice of filter for my OM642 Diesel engine is the Mahle OX380D. I have noticed that the Bosch filter is much cheaper. Are Bosch filters of equal quality to the Mahle? Also, Napa are pushing their products in the UK. Their oil filter is cheaper than the Bosch. Are Napa filters...

Words to live by ;) . On a serious note, i use Montana Xtreme. Stinks to high heaven, but very effective.

A wonderful aircraft. My old mum was fortunate to get a flight on an Air France Concorde. Paris to RAF Finningley. The Concorde landed at an airshow. When you consider that she was born in 1925, the age of the biplane, yet in her lifetime she was able to travel at Mach 2 over the Bay of Biscay...

Hi. Pickup trucks are a common sight in uk. Smaller than the American ones though. Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara, Mitsubishi L200, Ford Ranger, Isuzu Dmax to name but a few. I think Nissan and Mitsubishi have now pulled out of UK market though. New ones tend to use smaller diesel engines like 2.0...

I hope Exide are ok. Just put an Exide Platinum on my Diesel Jeep. Battery is 'made in Europe' fwiw. I wanted the 100AH and 900 CCA that the Battery offered. It has a 4 year warranty. Time will tell i suppose.

Hi. Maybe someone in the 'know' can answer this. China will have some very sophisticated spy satellites sat over the U.S. What advantage can a Balloon have?

Hi Guys. Thank you all for taking time to help. My Jeep is having some issues, so i had it connected to a scan tool. I noticed the tool was only registering the Battery at 11.9v at the top of the screen. Now the engine seemed to be cranking ok that morning. With engine running the display says...

Hi. What Voltage would you expect to see from a fully charged 12v car battery that is in good condition? Google searches suggests 12.6v. Does 12.6v sound correct? Thank You.

Hi. Ok, so it is chemically feasible. Would the chemicals you list be ok in Diesel engine?

Hi. It is added to the diesel. I do get a puff of black out of the exhaust on full throttle acceleration. I figured it was blowing some of the crap out.

Hi. Came across a product that professes to clean the variable vanes in a diesel turbo. https://www.forteuk.co.uk/product/diesel-turbo-cleaner/ How on earth can a product that is burned in the combustion process possibly clean turbo vanes? Is this just another product that takes money from...
