Came across the following here >> RockAuto November Newsletter As the link will likely update to the most recent newsletter, here's a copy and paste of the article. '' Backfeeding occurs when what should be the load side of an electrical circuit instead becomes a current source. One of the most...

As per thread title. Cancelled insurance but didn't SORN (£30 of VED was all at stake and was due before the previous insurance policy lapsed) and car is on private driveway some way off the road. Is SORN in that circumstance a legal requirement? To my mind, as it is, if I want to recommission...

Has anyone had an instance of not receiving an e-mail from an insurance company when they say they sent it? My new insurer had a real struggle sending me my policy details. My previous insurer renewed automatically because I didn't manually cancel after the e-mail prompts it was due to be...

''Here's your new bill and refund'' with a link to click to access it is the main thrust - after addressing me 'Hello'. I have a business account with BT and don't recall them ever e-mailing me in the past. Has anyone else received a similar e-mail?

Just sniffing out some ideas here on what is currently an obscure problem. Working on the front wheel bearings required caliper removal. While I was there I squeezed the piston in and back out again with the pedal a couple of times each side (taking steps to ensure no piston popped out). Left...

Thought I'd start this as a place to share tips and techniques we may have recently come across. I'll kick it off with three recent ones to me. For those grappling with a cartridge type oil filter that isn't budging but happen to have this type of spring compressor at hand.... .....simply...

Obviously, a reversing camera is primarily about the view immediately aft of the vehicle, but how far back can they view? I'm thinking about one as it would afford me more visibility on leaving my driveway as from the driver's seat the mirrors can't quite see past an obstacle that a rear mounted...
