    How can deliverance of that junk be classed as essential travel?

    Does it include cornovirus as well?

    Great another stupid idea. Look on mot history for “BVX9L”
    The Bat Mobile failed for modifed steering wheel – was cut off simular to above.

    Was there not some stupid wheel for renult espace once upon a time?

    How can you pose in mac d car park with palm of your hand?

    At least you can still talk on your phone and roll a spliff at the same time
    Steering with your knee still.

    Be great if they all get crashed because of that wheel.

    Great just like your Autel diagnosis tool, pop to asda £10 15 minutes

    Eh, for hundreds of years ALL starters and alternaters have been
    Exchange units – faulty ones, had the giblets took out and rebuilt
    Only every way was spanking one from dealer, never fitted to a car.

    Past two or three years a lot have just been outright units

    “Value based” sounds like, new bearings. Or brushes, skim on lathe
    The minium and reboxed.

    Why do that, have you ever took a starter motor off a Vauxhall Chevette
    Reffitted one, umpteen bruised knuckles and hours later, just goes clunk!

    What would you do if you fitted a starter to above mentioned Vauxhall Chevette
    To find, when you get the laptop connected to the internet, paid your €70 for
    Online coding to find, it wont code because wasn’t cleared.

    Bit like land rover steering racks, DELIBERATELY made OTP!
    With some weird processer inside!

    I can’t Tweet and query it with them, they blocked me on Twitter few years back

    That’s the fuzz way of saying “we are doing something”
    So cat still gets nicked, the fuzz then claim a victory but in reality
    They done nothing, its the garages doing the marking which will grind off

    Best thing would be a “baitcar <dot> com” some sort of sensor so when jacked up 6 seconds delay then Sprays some cat piss or pig piss (adblue) in area of cat with smart water.

    Not found it yet but video on youtube where owner lowers jack on tealeaf
    Don’t know what results were.

    Should make all cats with a £100 refundable deposit – or none if has crime number.

    Jennifer Glover Feedback you say

    1) how piss poor is that, just a company name, no mention
    Of location, website, telephone number.

    2) add some paragraphs to your writing

    3) assuming the “payment assistant” on companies house
    Is your company, your both your directors resigned
    Record and mention of company with in administration
    Is nearly more than my arrest record.

    4) trust pilot, was too lazy to look harder, does not seem to
    Be claimed on their!?

    5) the fact you work with garages, must mean they are charging too much

    6) perhaps you could rewrite your above post.

    That Steve Nash is just ugly ginger fud*. He never responded to my
    Tweet from couple of years ago and it’s only him out of the entire imi people
    Ive noted that hasn’t blocked me on Twitter. So he is clearly out of touch.

    As for Apprenticeship training the “education centre” about 10
    Miles away in the next town used to have 4 members of staff as imi professionals
    Now there is only 2……. those not on register STILL work there!

    Like above mentioned the term “snowflake” is the term you need.
    Anybody created around the time of the “Millennium Bug” need kick up the arse.
    Less intrest than a visa card.

    *That IS a politically CORRECT statement.

    No sorry dont buy that, painting course over 2 days with practical test afterwards
    Yeah that’s fine, worse case, you end up with a multiple colours turd on a panel.

    Electricity and lack of understanding that DC high voltage is really
    Nasty stuff, touch that good chance your dead, as your muscles contract, game over.

    What training needs is a “dead” high voltage system, set up so you touch
    Something an capacitve alarm sounds, to simulate you getting a belt. 2 dings
    Your out.

    Bit like gas safe, you fail next years exam, you can’t touch gas until you took and passed exam.

    Was someone did fire brigade training, made, all perfect, but made ONE mistake
    Which if was real fire would have killed everyone, instead of getting
    A robot to demonstrate that mistake, he got booted off, go work elsewhere.

    Same should be for electric vehicles, information should be FREELY available
    To ALL PEOPLE, no information, people poke wires and fiddle.

    Information like “do NOT remove cover A and stick your willy across screw b and d
    as this is 300VDC at all times”

    IMI should be ashamed of themselves for pushing electric cars, which
    Only move pollution to power station and create heat in electric network,
    So not really worth it.

    As for pedestrians, no end cross the road with their ears, no noise
    No cars, bad move.

    Hopefully, someone will get their “eco friendly electric car” run out of juice
    And miss a 3000 mile plane ride!

    Touch AC high voltage, if it dont kill you, or make you loose the use of an arm hand etc, the cycling of the current gives you a chance of getting off what your touching.

    If anybody see steve jobs from Apple, bob him on the nose HARD, as it so difficult editing on this ishit

    Then you can flake out on a pallet for the afternoon, go to hospital for another shock to resync your heart.

    Sorry, I seem to be missing something. Offical advise from
    Imi approved places has “ALWAYS not to disassemble” even “Jonny 5”
    Says “do not disassemble”.

    So if batteries are being recycled your basically buying second hand
    Parts which have been thrown away.

    3600 in pilot phase, shhesh so how many when fully running?

    As for “recycling” it would be nice if someone spent HOURS AND HOURS
    stripping cells out, loaded them up into the shredder for it to flash
    “COMPONENT PROTECTION ACTIVE” thus requiring on line coding to unpair
    The faulty cells from a scrapped VIN.

    Great 215 different ones, man has been on moon and down to titanic
    But needs to make 215 different pad wear sensors as nobody talks to each other to share standard stuff, saving customers time, money & the environment making them

    Every one ignores warning lights, something to make a noise would be better
    Tgen if ignored, next thing cuts disc in half, will not be able to ignore a wheel locked up!

    Great “up to 100%” was the test vehicle fairly new!

    It’s better description of “carbon moving machine”
    As its moving carbon from inside to outside or a vapour!

    If didn’t have all this junk would be more efficient and less of a fire hazard

    Ok, pick the bones out of this one. Great question but bad situation to be in

    Mercedes E400 Hybrid, Load HV battery after deep discharge
    Hallo Dear Members,

    I have questions regarding recharge of HV battery after discharge:

    1) Battery was dischared at workshop: status weeks ago 3%, status today 0%. Not sure what happened, they did some programming on the headlights.
    2) Now the car can not start because level below 15%.
    3) The WIS recommendation is to switch contactor in xentry, connect big DC charger (>500W) and charge HV battery above 30%

    But I can only switch on contactor in xentry if level above 5%

    I have 60 amper 12V DC charger to limit the current.

    How can I switch relais A100s in the battery on to undertake charging trial??

    I Xentry the next button is grayed out, becase level is below 5%??

    That Front Line is great flea killer, didn’t know they did car parts as well

    Great, but why cant all vehicles share same brake calipers, starters

    Be so much less waste.

    Like ford and toyota with funny fuses.

    Thats a great invention, doubtless the inventor will make any money out of it
    Unlike a singer who covers some one else’s song and they both get paid.

    So to get this clear, somewhere someone will have a car that they paid
    £150,000 or more for, that is unmoveable, The Alcohol Anonymous come out
    Move said stranded vehicle with something that was developed in someones shed
    Using wood?

    Makes you think, would “Lutrica McNeal” approve, after been stranded

    Thats a good start, neither dayco or mazzerati blocked me on twitter.

    What is the cost of these lumps of rubber which flex?

    Stop-start belts are a lot of wonga

    Can they be brought after market for a sensible price?

    Ever priced a abs sensor for mazzerati gt thing?

    £600+vat if you can get one!
