• any - Cogs gears worm drives etc for that failed part? 29 Nov 2019 (Forum)
  My wife had a die cutting machine which stripped a couple of teeth off a metal cog inside, no part available so it's basically scrap, but whilst looking for a used one for parts she found a chap on the bay of E who sells such things, gears drives, microswitches, springs etc.. He didn't sell this particular part, but he said to send it to him and he'd see what could be done, sure enough he made one up posted it to us i reassembled and the die cutter is working well again.

• Mazda 6 - Mazda 6 2.5 - thoughts? 20 May 2019 (Forum)
  Can folks who have driven the 2.5 version give me your thoughts on it? I test drove a version with the 2.5 engine. But used car test drives are by nature short test drives. I found the car to be good drive to drive. The interiors of the car were plush and elegant, with leather upholstery and an openable moon roof. The electronic dash (which powers up when you turn the car on) appears very funky.

  Prepare for a rant... I am interested to find the views of the forum on the subject of self-driving cars.  My view is that research should be put into making cars safer before investing money into such a ridiculous concept.  There has already been a fatality because a driver thought his car could drive itself.
