  • J Bond25 April 2026

    The blow plug on the side of my vertical flow radiator started to leek and then part of the plug blew out.
    Is it possible to replace the plug assuming I can remove the part that is still in the side of the radiator, also assuming this part is still available?
    Regards.

    Update. The TRW master cylinder has been on for a month without and problems with either clutch or brakes
    Thanks for all the comments and advice.

    Colin, I read a news article recently where the data for contactless transactions made at a filling station using pay at the pump system was being picked up by a different company down the road. The garage wasn't getting the payment and when customers checked their credit card accounts they were clocking up payments to some other unlikely business.

    I have been cautious about adopting bank...

    Willy, I assumed that I must have been given someone else's ticket the first time it happened. This time the guy at the till handed me the tickets straight off the machine, so definitely intended for me.

    It's difficult to understand how it printed tickets dated in February, at least that was so glaringly wrong it made me look more closely.

    There is a similar limit for contactless...

    There is a very sound argument for such ultra rapid chargers. As the number of EVs needing a charge increases then the demand for an available charger becomes the critical factor. Its ok waiting 22 minutes whilst your own car charges but you certainly dont want to be waiting in a queue whist the 3 ahead of you each take 20 minutes!

  • anamnesis25 April 2026

    I agree Guy. But it's a sales spec' that'll win customers, since the Chinese are beginning to dominate the ev scene.

    You don't mind 22 min's but many are always in a 'hurry'.

    Definitely no harm, Paul - I must remember to disconnect electronic/solid state items first.
    Apropos magnetic field in the ammeter, I know that as you move a magnet across the face (on the bench), the needle moves first one way, then the other - suggesting a stored field of some sort. That's why I thought it might be possible to reverse its field. As I say, above my pay grade!

  • Paul Barrow25 April 2026

    Ammeters arent polorized to the best of my knowledge (which isn't much). All it does is read current or lack thereof. It wont harm anything to flash Positive earth/ground a second time.

    It's really weird how some cars are effected by fuel going off and some aren't. I have one car here that can sit for years and yet it starts up first go and then we have my friends semi-racer MGB- If it sits for more than a couple of months we have to tow it down the road for ages before it fires up, and it then runs cranky until the tank gets topped up with fresh stuff then away it goes. I think...

  • William Revit25 April 2026

    Yep-I've had that happen, If the person before you didn't ask for a receipt, theirs was probably poking out of the machine and the attendant just grabs what's poking out--it's a bit wrong but it happens. I'd think your transaction went through just fine though.
    You can log into your bank account online and check your up to date transactions.
    Not sure at all how your contactless operates ...
