Cars!

Not just Tesco's
there's lots of contracts for most food, weather it's for grain for your bread your milk, your veg etc both side's have to sign a contract

year's ago milk went from farm to your local dairy now it trucked all over the country even abroad becauce you may get a better price

grain is trucked all over the place i know

We should only export our extra's and only import want we can't grow

 

I'm thinking, I do sometimes.
And the way I see it the word "global" is the problem, if we were to grow out own food, produce as much as we can and not import we would be considered protectionist, inward looking etc..

So we export and import, it's not just us that do it, it's the way of the world.

Plus there are those that want it that way as there is money to be made.

 

Going back to French cars and despite having a very unreliable Peugeot 207 Gt (partner had a 206 which ended up scrapped too) I just traded in my Astra for a Peugeot 208 Roland Garros edition yesterday...



The reason I went back to a pug? I bloody love driving them!

What's the name for a pug lover @longk? I'd love to know!

It's diesel.. I honestly think the death of diesel will be a sad time and am not looking forward to these electric cars for all the reasons mentioned above.

And speaking of Mercs, funnily enough the old man was telling me to get an A class instead.. (family is full of mercs )

Which brings me too.. the other half has had to call it a day with his slk 230 so it's up for sale Parts are costing an arm and leg, still in limp mode and over the last month a nasty rusty hole in the passenger front wing has appeared. We just haven't got the time or cash to repair or pimp it, we've had some fun with it though!

 

Hi all,

Wonder if I could get some info on car braking systems as not knowing the answer is making me wonder.

Someone with a Mk2 2006 Toyota Avensis, dual line braking with ABS, had a sudden big leak on one of the rear lines, resulting in, as he said, total brake failure and when checking found that the master cylinder was empty ?

Now I know that modern master cylinders have two inlets from the fluid reservoir, but I would have thought that towards the bottom of the reservoir there would be a baffle or similar so if one circuit leaked then the other would still have access to fluid and so retain some braking; otherwise it seems to defeat the point of dual line braking ?

However, I've never looked or seen right down at the bottom of a reservoir to prove the point, but given there is, I'm a bit suspicious he may have two failures, the pipe leak and say something in the master cylinder seals or abs unit ?

 

I'm in the opposite camp. I wouldnt have any newer Volvo even if they gave me the sticker price as an incentive to buy...

 

I really like the 3008! If I was to get a suv it would be one of the Peugeots.. but that xc60 is very nice too. My cousin and a friend has a 206cc and both have had problems with the back windows and roof, shame really.

 

Just get the new one for your Birthday Enjoy
