There's no-one as convinced as a fully fledged convert! Welcome aboard Ian! 😊

I will be thinking of you! (I'll put a roll of Andrex in the 'fridge in your honour!)

Fingers crossed for you Herbie! And, importantly - PLEASE don't worry..just remind yourself that it is much, much better to be checked out, and IF there's a problem it can be dealt with promptly, rather than not be checked and not know! I've had a couple of colonoscopies in the last four years, and both were negative (hooray!). However, unlike Piers' unfortunate experience, I didn't have any sedative or painkillers prescribed, and really didn't need them - so it's not a definite that there's pain involved. (And, clearly I was born a geek, but I found it fascinating to watch the process on the operating theatre's TV screens and chat through the event with the lass controlling the camera. (I've seen 'poo' in a new light! 💩😂)

Hi JJ, You'll have a few responses on this question, a good many of us finally settle on Michelin Cross Climates. When we bought our car three years ago it was shod in Dunlop SP Sports, - not a particularly pleasant experience tbh. I raided my cats piggy bank and treated the car to new Cross Climates. Deep joy.

Buy him a case of beer for Christmas - - it's always appreciated! (Assuming that he drinks beer!)

One thing's for certain - - it didn't do any motorway speeds on Jersey!

It's actually a £3.00 discount off 300 litres - so only about 0.6% discount! (1p per litre!)

A small steel confectionary or biscuit box works admirably (and reliably) for storing the keys at home/workshop/office/countryside hideaway/fishing spot. If you've a friend/son/daughter/partner whom enjoys welding, a small stainless steel box could make a useful present from them. At a push, a standard steel spectacle case also works a treat.

Don't worry about your failure Paul - - - your *personal MOT/servicing isn't done at Domestic Road.... . It'll be at the LGI!

You've obviously been to Castleford, Phil.

Barry, We do not have a landline at home, so have to source all our internet requirements via a Mi-Fi. We use a TP-link M7350, (and have done for many years) and can simultaneously run a couple of laptops and a TV from it without a problem. I leave it turned on and plugged into the 5v charger, albeit via a 240v supply, and have never suffered a problem with it, nor has the battery ever 'swollen'.

After a few years of driving our RX450, I have proven that cruise control is at it's most effective on 'flat' roads with a fairly consistent speed of 40mph+. When on hilly roads, in busy traffic or when travelling under 30mph, I experience a better mpg with the cruise control turned off.

(An 'outside the box' suggestion) Would your local library(ies) have a copy of a workshop manual?? If they do, they may be willing to part with one?

What a pretty little motor! (Or should it be 'handsome'?)

Without entering any argument that could be misconstrued to be political (in any way whatsoever), I've not an issue with either one's local Council, County Council, or the country's Government outsourcing the reporting of some of the "illegal" elements of society. This could cover littering, dog fouling, parking, speeding, overt drug-dealing and antisocial behaviour (for example). There are many facets of the society we live in that could be improved if only more members (of that society) would be prepared to help and improve it.

Thank you for that update Kevin, (and delighted it's worked out so well for you!

Or you could use helicopter tape for the door edges: https://www.amazon.co.uk/helicopter-tape/s?k=helicopter+tape

Well - - it certainly loosened the carbon build-up

John, I apologise! I couldn't find that on ATS - (and still cannot!!)

Sorry John - - - - but they don't! (They're Pilot Sport)

Whilst I appreciate I may well be running the risk of being perceived as supporting the principle of 'cash cows'...... (And I don't!) If people drove safely, and within (whatever) the car ownership and driving rules in force at the time, there would be far fewer requirements for speed cameras, traffic police or tailgating cameras. That my supposition stands no likelihood of reality, then I'm all for whatever equipment is required to improve the risk of people completing their journeys safely.
