Point of order....They look like Bi-Xenons to me! Pete

It's been very dry here for the past couple of years at least. Not so dry up the hills of Wales where our water comes from though and I wouldn't expect any kind of restrictions just yet. Looking at those reservoirs down south then a long hot dry summer (and surely we are due one) could pose a few headaches for the water companies, not to mention their customers. Pete

Great news, congrats on the new arrival Pete

As long as you have a SATA drive to recycle then there's no problem. If you have one of the older IDE drives then be aware that most motherboards no longer have an IDE interface. I just ran into this problem when I upgraded. Pete

I've got a couple knocking about, I'm in the Chester area. Pete

I have a feeling that the fuel computer calculates using the the current mpg . I put £40 in mine last week, it was reading empty and it went up to 216 miles, I put £30 into Caroline's roadster and it only went to 106 miles, so sounds about right to me. Pete

. Very nice Will, look forward to seeing it in May....I think you owe me a drive too Pete

I've just bought a couple of the new AMD Bulldozer 8 core CPU's. They run at 3.6ghz's but are unlocked and although I haven't tested this out will run at 4.0 on air, even higher on water. There's a popup when you bootup asking if you want to overclock, much easier than the old method of fiddling around with multiplier speeds. Pete

You're right, there's a very real risk of major damage using petrol . Half a pint of Kerosine to a tankful of diesel when the temperature drops to -10 is what you need, or a commercial pour point depressant which is mainly kerosine anyway. This works with heating oil as well Pete

Thunder Grey, is that an import colour? Pete

Welcome along Pete

Surely not Pete

New Mercedes, taken this week at Silverstone on a shakedown run. Pete

225 Tyres on the rear will throw the rolling radius out by 2.7%. Although I wouldn't be happy with anything over 1.0%, I think the limit is in the region of 5.0%. If it was me I'd get some new tyres ASAP and put the 225's on the front when your others wear out. Pete

There's a pic of one at one of The Wales meets...before my time though. Pete That was an import, just cannot remember who the owner was. Yeah, you're right Perhaps this will refresh your memory..or someone else's Pete

I may be on rocky ground here but I'd hazard a guess that you'd have to replace the entire front console to fit a cubby. The ones with the integrated satnav look to have a lip above them, the ones without don't have that lip Pete

Done Pete

Looks like I'm the only one who likes these so far. Pete

What sort of mileage had it done? Thanks, Pete

They have done that, a diesel nozzle is larger than a petrol one and doesn't normally fit in a petrol car. Have they changed the nozzle sizes in the past few years? If not, I wonder how Caroline managed to fill her old Citroen up with Diesel, circa 2000 . She was in Green Flag who brought it home for us, but it took me a couple of days to clean out the tank and all the fuel lines, it didn't go to waste though, just threw it into my central heating oil tank. Pete

My daughter usually asks for money. Caroline always asks if we can go to Next. Pete

Welcome Pete

Not really but I prefer the coupe. I did seriously consider buying one of the last 350 Roadsters back in 2008 and TBH if they'd have offered me a decent P/X on my 2006 Zed I'd have gone for it, they wanted 10k plus my car, 9k was my limit. I should really have thought it through properly and bought it for cash and sold my Zed privately Pete

Nothing, depending on when said shed was built. The extra resistance to detonation of 97RON over 95RON would be wasted as the car would not run as high a compression. So the car would always fire the spark before the fuel to reach det prematurely. So unless it has higher compression and can alter ignition timing then its pointless. If it can use it then you'll get slightly higher MPG as the fuel is burnt more efficiently than 95RON. With todays technology it should be possible to get a car running efficiently and safely on a fuel that it wasn't designed to run on, well in theory at least I remember when they switched over from leaded to unleaded, the number of garages selling leaded diminished each week until there were none. I think there was a fairly simple fix to convert leaded cars to run on unleaded. BTW, When they were selling leaded and unleaded at the same time they changed the size of the petrol filler so you couldn't put the wrong fuel in. The leaded nozzles were massive....its a shame they didn't do that with diesel too, would have saved a few heartaches. Pete
