Wee Willie Winkie

4 way traffic light controlled junction. Major road is 2 lanes in each direction. One car is turning left from minor road onto major road, which is a 90 degree corner, so needs to use all of lane 1 and a little of lane 2 on the major road. The other car is turning right from opposite minor road onto major road, to travel in the same direction as the first car.

Most have a nice curve, this is a junction where the kerbs meet at right angles.

You're right though, as I'd have no idea if the oncoming car is going to use lane 2 or firestraight into lane 1, I guess the easiest option is to stay back and let them carry on with their day. I'll just go when it's blindingly obvious an oncoming car isn't going to go regardless of who else is there. ...

I usually ignore stuff in my e-mail spam box, but out of curiosity I opened one just now. It's the usual rubbish about lots of money being available to me if I pretend to be some deceased person's next-of-kin.

Predictably, the standard of expression is execrable, but unintentionally humorous:... Read more

There are a lot of components in a heater box. Which part has failed? To replace the complete heater box is around 6-8 hours. Read more

Would the use of a Coolant Cleaner help ? something like Holts Speedflush, ? probably the cheapest option, it might clear the blockage that is reducing the heater output, follow the instructions, refill and flush a couple of times to clear out the debris then refill with fresh ford antifreeze & distilled wayer 50/50 mix

Hi,

Got an issue with my Kia not starting on a morning if I pump up my tyres using the cigarette lighter to power the tyre pump. But it starts normally if I don't do this, I know I could leave me engine on when pumping up the tyres but would prefer to find out the fault.... Read more

I would suspect battery with only 60k but 8 years old.

Test it properly as shown below and in case of any doubt, change it sooner rather than later....

Got a magazine from Volvo this AM trumpeting the path they are taking with electric cars. They say battery technology is excellent now but don't quote ranges achieved by their vehicles. I sometimes drive from N Hants to N Yorks and wonder how an electric car could do this trip. I don't know the exact distance between charges on the various electric cars but it seems 100 miles is a ball park figure..anyone know different? This would mean two stops to charge up the car if you find suitable points to do it. Nightmare would be sitting in a car with a flat battery. Read more

Not quite as ugly on the outside as the existing one. Thank God. A somewhat creepy smile on the front though. Read more
