• Diesel-89.9ppl 10 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  Good to see the price of diesel has dropped slightly- 89.9 pence per litre at my local Tesco this morning. Car running on fumes, doing my weekly shop, I'll have some of that please.

• Dynamo Polarity 10 Sep 2006 (Forum)
  Recently the question was asked:- "Does anyone know how to change the polarity of a dynamo?" Apparantly, it seems, if you touch one of the leads to earth while the dynamo is running, the polarity is reversed. Allegedly. Does anyone has any ideas on this subject. I should point out that we are talking about 1930s - or thereabouts - cars.
