    Too lazy to check but didn’t toyota do something with lean burn
    Ratio of 20:1 on motor way with the Carina E made sorry assembled in Derby?

    Ford had some lean burn with the Sieerra.

    As for this, what is the service life? What if never gets an oil change
    For few years, does it still work then?

    Less compression than a poundland bicycle pump?

    Be nice if one of the imi approved techs from mazda uk come on here with more information

    That’s great news.

    Here we are in year 2021 and instead of having “The New Seakers”
    Doing car parts in perfect harmony, everything fits anything we are having to cut down apple trees and makehomeless snow white turtle doves, just to house these different parts, then each manufacturer of brake pads all have to pollute the environment with different tooling.

    On top of this THE BACKINGS FOR MINTEX ALL CONE FROM CHINA, NOT BRITISH STEEL
    oops caps lock. 😆

    Sorry did you say “Shoes” and “2021” in same post? Drums there an old outdated
    Method of stopping a vehicle

    Thought that Wendy had retired from the sports place

    As for “VBER”. “The VBER-300 is a proposed Russian pressurized water reactor of 325-MWe generating capacity designed for remote locations”

    Cant see any other reference

    As for block exemption, need to get these car makers to stop making junk
    And make cars that can be fixed

    #say no to 0845 again no mention of call charges no mention of access charges per minute.

    As for Autodata, don’t make sense trying to pull a fast one

    1) you cant log in and think there is a button that tells you about
    Account

    2) when you ring technical support, ignore the crap about being busy or covid and to email Which then says “8 hours” You get straight through to tech support.

    Steve who reminds us of “Swiss Tony” from bbc fast show,
    Gordan who reminds us of “René” the cafe owner from Allo’ Allo
    Then Amit who reminds of someone from “The Simpsons” but not sure
    Which one.

    3) no mention of this when called autodata last week

    4) bit bad paying all this money and they don’t tell you
    And value for money the INCORRECT information on more
    Than one occasion!

    Ha ha. If you own a Hyundai Kona Electric or Hyundai Ioniq, do not charge your EV batteries above 90% capacity, and contact Hyundai local office.

    So 208 replied so it wasn’t well advertsed then.

    But it’s going to make emissions worse, less mpg and shits up egr valves and presumably cats

    Less mpg, chances of clogging fuel line with lumps of solid ethanol and stopping dead on smart motorway.

    There are some dumb people around, who pointed this to minstrels folks should be made to clean 100 toilets a day like the one off the film ‘train spotting’

    1) no one said anything to MHM

    2) if you watch “IMI Professional Standards for Electrified Vehicles Automechanika 2019 HD” on youtube you will see yet again Steve the ginger fud is incapable
    Of public speaking so, I will now carry on this post just like he talks!
    Incidentally automechannica were TOLD along with the London motor show
    To block me on Twitter – suspect imi did it!

    3) errrr uuummm errr. Electric cars errr have been, look they have
    Errr errrrr being being errr round 100 errr years. Ok so why
    After 100 years do we need electric cars?

    4) errr errrr urrrm no, no eerr mention of why the imi are errr umm or
    Pushing the government for errrrr electric urrrrrm carrrs.

    5) if you errr look on eeer “companies house” at err filing history
    Where it says “directors Renumeration” err over errum
    £200k for imi directors and £400k profit after err tax

    6) no errr mention of where that tom Denton (who has blocked me on twitter – unprofessionally). Gets his information from?! ok err we all err know
    Dont touch errr uurm orange, look orange cables. Will we err see
    Fully electric cars with errr hv cables part of the loom?
    Like airbag wires used to be separate err loom now part if um vehicle
    Loom!

    7) no errrr mention or er um when electric car stood going to
    Be errrr uurrrmmm scrap if not err charged.

    8) what errr uuurrrmmm if you end up in an errum flood and car gets
    Looks, if car gets broken glass and errr gets wet?

    9) as for tom saying “swap bad cell” no, dont do that, official advise
    Is DO NOT TAKE BATTERY APART. You will also end up frying that
    New cell anyway. Cars of yesterday where you unbolting bad
    Cell, sure, only 6 cells and you got cranking handle for back up

    10) so how can we as garage workers take this seriously err?

    11) given choice of leaving motor trade been in for years and enjoy
    Or joining the self serving, self centred imi, will leave and
    RETRAIN to Become a toilet cleaner, pizza delivery or window cleaner

    Why do this stuff in work time, you wont learn as much as evening/ weekend

    For efficiency, and gates one not as good as oe one?

    “Low fuel consumption” you say great.

    Do these required any form of lubricant?
    As/when they fail repairable or bin fodder?

    Great, some spotty teenager books vehicle in.

    Job, replacement steering rack on landrover.

    Nobody says anything that’s the part is infact a used part painted black.

    So tech spends the assumed time swapping said part, with garage software expecting
    So get another job on that ramp.

    Low and behold now wont start, cant do anything with used rack
    As its coded, drop subframe repeat.

    Does the garage system allow for this?

    Great, link failed to load, good, higher voltage lower current drawn
    But then your adding to the weight. If for weight look at aircraft
    Components run on ac at something funny like 60hz

    So how do you check for current draw if discharging?

    If totally flat what do you use to recharging?

    Is there some kind balencing board fitted?
    That stops it boiling any good cells?

    Is there any test light for checking circuits?

    What about fuses the ATO are only rated to 32v (for 24 volt)

    Speaking of 24v ever put a fuse in something that’s dead short, 😮

    Is the wiring and connectors larger, to help combat funny fizzling
    Noises when gets verdis gris?

    Yeah whatever, make great flea spray and good carparts.
