I recently came across an article about Tirzepatide injections at valhallavitality.com/blog/the-benefits-of-tirzepat...n , and it was quite enlightening. The piece thoroughly explains the potential health benefits of Tirzepatide, particularly for those managing certain chronic conditions. The clarity and depth of the article helped me understand how this treatment could be a game-changer in healthcare. It’s definitely a must-read for anyone interested in the latest medical advancements. Read more
If, like me, you've been puzzled by the double-digit numbers that Audi is now applying to all of its cars, here's a handy guide to what they denote:
30 = 109-128 hp
35 = 147-160 hp
40 = 167-201 hp
45 = 226-248 hp
50 = 281-308 hp
55 = 328-368 hp
60 = 429-455 hp
70 = 536+ hp... Read more
Hi,
Other than the normal Fiesta's and Corsa's what reliable options do we have, budget is likely to be under £1500?... Read more
pug 107 should be on the list but as said at this sort of budget you really can't that choosy.
I have read that early Citroen C1's can have gearbox problems. If that is the case, it would surely also apply to the mechanically identical 107 (and Toyota Aygo). But otherwise, they are simple and cheap to run cars....
Hi all,
I sought some advice on a VW Touran a couple of weeks back. Since then we have changed tack with our 7 seater purchase and its currently a toss up between the Kia Carens 1.6 or the Toyota Verso 1.6 - both of which would be around 2 years old.... Read more
I test drove a a Toyota Verso 1.6 (Petrol) about a couple of years ago. It was dull car to drive. Nothing made me want to own it. It is a shame, because I really wanted to like the car.....
Good name for a trendy South Bank restaurant? Perhaps it already is.
GF's thesis is finished so phase one of the (probably 5-Year) Plan to Catch my Kangaroo, I'm bypassing the fuel pump with gravity feed.... Read more
Weathers been unsuitable for further test drives (getting clipped by Lekima. Nothing extreme round here so far but too unpredictably windy and rainy).
Got nervous about leaving the tubing exposed to petrol long term. (Really don't want dissolved plastic in that carb, which has clog-tastic sintered metal bits in it. Amazed they put it in Landcruisers.). Tubing seems OK apart from some discoloration but there was embrittlement of harder threaded plastic parts like sampling ports, Even Scotty Kilmer doesn't have 98 octane in his veins....
I bought a B6 Passat about 2 months ago. One day on my way home from work I put my foot down a bit and it started making this airy/banging/puffing noise. First I thought it’s the exhaust leaking but when I hold the exhaust pipe shut I can’t see smoke coming from anywhere else. Then I thought maybe it’s mechanical and maybe the timing skipped and a piston hit a valve bent, but the timing belt looks to be in very good condition and is tight. I started the motor with the timing belt cover off for which I had to remove the egr valve tube first and when I started the car to see how the timing belt behaves I noticed that it’s the same noise coming from the EGR valve except it’s louder with the tube off. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Check the turbo hoses for leaks, maybe one has split.
As title says really... what engineering machinery is best for removing a snapped pinch bolt..
Hss drill bits take hours as they are strengthened steel !!!!!
Have a hub assembly with snapped bolt as it was seized. Now need to remove it then replace with a nut and bolt Read more
I got some very hard drills from Axminster to drill out a circlip on a 206 rear wheel bearing, its slow going but will do it. We do our shopping in Axminster so it was quite convenient.

I posted earlier today with a problem of lack of acceleration in 4th and 5th gear and engine light coming on. I would like to add to that post that on starting not only does the engine light come on with the message 'Emissions Workshop' the brake light comes on with beeping and a message saying STOP, Brake Fault. When I release the handbrake the beeps stop and the message goes away. I would like to further add that the brakes work perfectly well. This has been an intermittent message.

Miss adjusted brake light switch on our Gold put the glow plug light on. Very strange.

The front offside tyre of my wife's five year old Yaris is consistently losing tyre pressure. It drops from 32psi to 25-27 psi over a week. The tyre is only 50% worn. Two tyre repair shops have failed to find an leak. At a recent service the Toyota Dealer advised having the "bead resealed"; this has failed to stop the problem. The other three wheels maintain pressure.
So is the problem with the Alloy wheel? Or could it be with the tyre? If the wheel is replaced it will cost £200+ . But if it is the tyre £200 will have been wasted and a further £100 will be needed. Alternatively should we use one of those Emergency canisters that seal damaged tyres to "get you home"?... Read more
I've heard that tire pressure on the car door is what you want to live by.
I've heard that there is some kind of happy medium between the door listed pressure and the max pressure on the tire....
Haven't Audi got a people carrier called the Audi Partner?
There's also the Audi Doody I think ;-)
