What ever happened to this forum?

Once upon a time this was a space of activity, long since a sad demise.

All best and good wishes,

I can’t even figure out how to change my email from s defunct address….

Jeremy, I dont think Im missing out at all and from a practical angle they dont work for me as I would need to upgrade my wiring/consumer unit and run a new cable to my garage about 90 ft long. I am just an old dinosaur really.

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) cylinder head washers are typically made from 8740 chromoly steel and are hardened to a Rockwell C scale hardness of approximately 38 to 45. This makes them substantially harder than the cylinder heads or blocks they are used with, which is a critical design feature for proper torquing

Respect your decision Trev but have you thought you may be missing out? You don't have to be a card carrying member of the Green party to enjoy them.

Jeremy, mainly because I don't agree with the green agenda, but I'm anti SUVs too, which virtually everything is now. Apart from the size they look hideous too. I much prefer a low streamlined proper looking car and if you want a load lugger a good estate car. If I was looking for another car now, I wouldn't be looking for anything newer than about 2012 so that I can still work on it myself and I ...

The You Tube episode with the Volvo 480 at about 42 minutes. They're outside the Ace cafe and there's a red Frogeye 496 TTF? Anyone's here?

Leaks and kite flying are hardly unique to this administration, especially in the run up to a Budget. As Guy says, wait until she's standing in front of the Despatch Box nest week and then we'll know.
Not sure why some people (not here) are so upset about a pay per mile road tax on EVs; that's exactly what fuel duty is - the more you drive the more tax you pay. As a tax that doesn't seem unre...

Guy, I tend to agree with you about wait and see till its announced. It something I have said many times and I don't think it's so much testing the waters as some suggest, its more about being able to say it wasnt as bad as suggested.

As far as car tax goes, if it puts people off buying electric that is a good thing in my book. As for taxing EVs, everyone with any sense knew it had to com...

The frenzy is caused by leaks and kites from the gov't, not the media speculation.

Of course the media and everybody else will speculate if the gov't keeps testing potential budgetary policies in advance to see how they'll run.

There was a time when the gov't stayed completely schtum before the budget, to avoid this speculation.

"Time to bring back Budget purdah?"

I really fail to understand the frenzy. Totally media driven with 'pundits' declaring all sorts of intentions just do they have headlines and media sales targets to fill. Augmented no doubt by the intentional government 'leak', a strategy used back in Blair's time. But it is this frenzied speculation that drives market uncertainty.
There's a fixed date for announcing the budget. Just wait unti...
