We moan about air pollution now but what was it like 100/200 years ago in our cities? How bad was the 'great stink'?
Not sure about 'great stink', thought that was sewers (or lack of) rather than atmosphere. ...
Hi Folks
I own a 2008 model Mark 4 Seat Ibiza and the air filter needs changing. I have no idea of how to do it and there is no mention of it in the manual. I have also looked on Youtube but no success.
Can someone kindly advice?
Thank you. Read more
There is a large plastic housing on top of the engine . Pull the whole thing off , it’s attached by rubber “donut” bushes . If it has not been removed for a while , it may need a good tug .Also when doing this , check for any breather pipes attached to the plastic intake box. Once off, invert the box and unscrew the air filter section .

Not a good idea to use any hand held device while the engine is running. Assuming that you are in control of the vehicle. If you were on your driveway then ok .

Apparently research has shown that driving with the hands at 10 t0 2 on the steering wheel can can be dangerous. According to QI in an accident the airbag will strike your hands at 250 mph causing potential serious injuries. One injury called 'gloving' doesn't sound good. A quarter to three gets the hands out of the firing line. Read more
The distance you sit from the wheel is also a big consideration. I often see people so close to the steering wheel that an airbag would do serious damage if it went off.
Of course, smaller people will need to adjust, but surely that's part of picking a car, making sure you can get comfortable and safely seated?...

And hardly a mention of the various technical settings manufacturers employ for their over-run fuel cut off implementation - which was of course a red herring and irrelevant.
You are such a tease John :-)
