    EGR system removal.

    Not true.... Google EGR. The EGR valve is closed when the engine is starting up. During idle and at low speeds, only a small amount of power is required, and therefore only a small amount of oxygen, so the valve gradually opens – it can be up to 90% open at idle.

    BENZ ON THE GREEN 11TH OF MAY 2024

    Last time they shut it, it had no noticeable effect below Hindhead....and Horndean is a fair way south of that. Might not be so next time of course!!!

    The UK Politics & Brexit Thread

    @m80 Hmmm.....not the best argument....they are going to die of something anyway....so let it be lung cancer where you effectively drown to death....like my grandad did in 87. And of course they might just die of old age and cost the NHS nothing or at least not much.

    The UK Politics & Brexit Thread

    I have no problem with it.....it wont be banned as such....just anyone born after 2009 wont be able to smoke.....how is that a bad thing for the health of our nation and our children.....my son (coincidentally born in July 2009) is a sensible lad and probably would not want to slowly poison...

    Incorrect speedo

    99% of all road cars overread deliberately from the factory. All my cars have when compared to real GPS figures. Its because its illegal to sell a car in Europe with a speedo that underleads so they err on the side of caution. 2mph is neither here nor there....my Ford Ranger is over by about...

    Anyone had any dealings with this company

    Get everything in writing and you will be fine......many used dealers do pretty much all of their business like that. Insurance can be an issue though.

    Maybe for originality......but having a problem with orange plastic on my cars.....my ALFA has none from new!........ I think it looks much better with white/clear ones. Pity he did not match the side repeaters them with. :)

    Even more new jokes... (No UK Politics please)

    I applied for a job in an ice cream parlour.. They turned me down when I said I can’t do Sundays My doctor told me that I’m suffering from paranoia. Well, he didn’t actually say that, but I could tell that’s what he was thinking. I had a pelican curry for lunch, it tasted nice, but the bill...

    Kumho Ecsta PS71 SUV ?

    Mines was about 460 horses and just over 600nm. My much played with Mitsubishi GTO TT converted to RWD and rear wheel steering deleted......good fun to drive.....but chavvy to look at!!! Obviously it could overcome the tyres........but most cars can if driven too hard in the wrong conditions.

    Kumho Ecsta PS71 SUV ?

    Not me if its a good car otherwise....tyres can easily be changed..and lots of people...even main dealers, put cheaper tyres on when they know they will sell it soon. Expensive tyres don't add their cost to the value of a used car. Might be a haggling point...but that's all.
