No. Hands were filthy and it was so hot I was working in my pants and left the phone inside. There were signs of shiny metal particles as eell but again, no sign of damage anywhere other than the catastrophic scoring of seal and piston.

I went for a drive, to the petrol station, mind you the car hasn't moved for over 2 weeks, it was so good to drive again. The petrol price had gone down as well, to £1.75, so filled up with a massive £35, I like to keep it topped up for my next drive.

£1.75 ??!
What devilish concoction is this ? We’re still at £1.86

Still 166.9 here for E10

Seriously ?
There’s a refinery about 30 miles away and the ppl hasn’t dropped below £1.86.

should request ‘Scottish Weighting’ when I next ask for a raise

You'd better not read my post titled petrol prices

All part of the plan to force us on to electric vehicles

Trouble is if everyone changed to electric cars and plugged them in all at the same time, the grid would go into meltdown.

Politicians have not yet grasped that fact.

Except of course, not only won’t that happen, but if it did it would be a good thing. Ev’s are effectively mobile batteries. with more volatile and intermittent power from renewables what we need is millions of batteries about the size of an ev battery plugged in and ready to be charged and partially discharged when needed. They are not the problem, they are part of the solution. (I’m not being political here, i drive 2 RR’s and an EV and nothing will make me give up the RR’s!)

I drove a 1L Fiesta with permanent battery (hydrid) drive. Very odd as the torque is instant and constant all the way up the revs. Really nippy little thing and 51mpg. If I was looking for a little hatchback I would seriously consider one.
