    Philip
    Given that the pushrod is moving normally, it does sound like either a bent fork or a badly worn pivot bush but you wouldn't expect either to happen suddenly. Pivot bolt loose or half out maybe? Worth looking through hole in top of bell housing or getting a picture on mobile or with endoscope if you have one? I havent one and am in southern Spain on road trip right now so can't help I'...

    Yep those too Dave. And I'll bet a lot of those, non voters last time, are considering a vote for Reform too.

    Meanwhile I see Trump's upset the EU again. 50% tarrif starting June 1st.

    Good job Starmer's deal with Trump got us 10% 🙄

    Grey,

    Cedric?

    That's a very neat solution for a hidden USB port.

    Anam,
    I have one of Alan’s roller release bearings, so thankfully I can rule out the bearing itself.

    Alan,
    I’ve not heard of this symptom before?
    With the pedal fully depressed, I can see pretty good extension on the slave pushrod - which holds its position. Under these circumstances, how could the gear then be engaged so I can drive off?
    The symptoms remained the s...

    “ Those same people who dumped the Tories to vote Labour last year on the general election.”

    Don’t you mean the people that didn’t vote at all, thereby handing Labour victory by default?

  • anamnesis23 May 2025

    One of Angela Rayner's brilliant ideas, is to strip middle-class families of child benefit payments. Those same people who dumped the Tories to vote Labour last year on the general election.

    Perhaps she thinks 'the workers' will flock to Labour under her, in a class war ...

    Arie. 👍 🤣🤣.

    Guy, it matters not how the Mail presents the story. They aren't the only ones to report it as a bad deal. --- Add, unnecessary too.

    https://www.taxpayersalliance.com/the_absurd_cost_of_the_chagos_deal

    But that isn't the point.

    The point is that everything Labour does or doesn't do now, leads to more support for Reform.

    Supposed reversal of w...

    I had this same problem a couple of years ago and did almost all the suggested checks but couldn't solve it. Finally, I considered the influence of the air intake and removed the original filter—problem solved! Since then, I've been using individual filters and have abandoned the original. I'm suggesting this in case it helps. By the way, if anyone knows why this might be, I'd appreciate an expl...

    The ÂŁ3.4bn is calculated using the standard accepted accounting formula for future commitments to take account of inflation. Given it's a 100 year deal it makes no senses to not take account of this effect over such a long period of time. Daily Mail, as usual, seeking to make a devisive horror headline just to sell their rag.

  • A de Best23 May 2025
