But on a motorway there aren't pedestrians generally! So I reckon 70mph is OK. Does seem inconsistent though where some built up areas are 20mph while others are 30mph.

What is this cash cow nonsense.
Ample warning is given of cameras.
A speed limit sign is posted, A camera sign is posted. Often they paint the speed limit on the road. Then there is a big yellow box and lines upon the road. What more notice do you want. On top of that most speedos show over your actual speed.
On a motorway the gantries show the speed and if a camera is there.
No one pr...

"As Badenoch says, she's clearing out the rubbish."

She would, wouldn't she.

She only 'sacked' Jenrich after she found out he was leaving. Who else has she cleared out?

I'm sure you could reduce the number of fatalities on a motorway by reducing the speed limit to 30mph.

Where do you stop?

Nah.
I wouldn't be so unkind but some commentators describe Reform as the toilet for toxic Tories.
As Badenoch says, she's clearing out the rubbish.
In the meantime, Farage might want to watch his back.

I agree it's hard to maintain 20mph unless you have a modern with a speed limiter.

A main reason given is that a pedestrian has a 90% chance of survival in a 20mph collision but only 50% at 30mph. It's difficult to argue with those odds from a safety point of view I guess.

Surely the most challenging aspect of driving at the moment is the 20 mph limit. It is so unatural and very difficult to adhere to. I set the cruise control in our daily driver car but Spridgets don't have this facility. I live in Bearsden outside Glasgow and every road is now restircted to 20 mph even sections of dual carriageway. The big problem is a 10% discretion at 20 is only 22 but on the mo...

Fortunately, I have a spare gearbox in the shed.

Measured from the centre of the gear lever when in neutral.

Nor normally needed, although I suppose if it is blocked heat expansion could force oil past seals.

You can see the OD switch with the small removable panel removed as in the 1st attached and the 2nd shows where the breather is in relation to that switch which may help, this hole was cut to enable replacement of the switch but I've done them without that. Removing the gearbox cross-membe...

I need to replace the breather on my 4 Synchro/LH overdrive gearbox, the one that screws into the top of the gear change remote housing. As it is totally inaccessible from under the car I am planning to make a small hatch way in the left hand side of the tunnel. If someone has a similar gearbox/overdrive setup out of their car at the moment I would really appreciate knowing the straight line th...
