Probably been forced to change because of the link between trans-fats and cancer. McVities biscuits used to be crammed full of them.
Trans fats? They used to use Sunflower oil or other vegetable oil, the switch to Palm oil is all about making them cheaper. Unfortunately I seem to react badly to Palm oil.
 
Saw this in the classic car line up at a steam and country fair today

Is there an amp somewhere? Cannot see that having enough oomph to power all those speakers. Come to think of it, how do you get it to fade back / forwards and so forth?
 
Spent 2 hours just replacing the towing socket, nothing is ever easy with me! Ended up lying in the street with a torch trying to get it done. One of the screws for one of the wires had corroded so had to cut it back and then cut all the other wires back so it would all firmly fit. Then the bolts wouldn't quite fit the back plate a good deal of shoving finally got it to fit.
 
Do the non K+H systems have an amp in the boot?

Don't think mine does. Think it just works off the door outstations. Never thought about it to be honest. I've got an aftermarket radio n the slot but half the time I listen to CDs anyway.

I'm not touching mine until it drops off!

No amp in the boot on either of mine, one does have a CD unit though.
 
Changed rear discs and pads, as well as freed off the right rear caliper. I have to find a new garage though, that caliper was replaced 2 years ago and it seized again, destroying the outside pad and mulching the caliper.

The job wouldn't have been so bad, but a broke the factory tyre iron and my GFs dad's knuckle bar trying to get off a wheel nut that'd been impacted on by what I can only assume was the world's biggest rattle gun. I need to try and unseize the bottle jack too, hasn't been used ever and the release screw won't budge. But that is a job for another day... maybe a new lip seal for the axle too, as I smelt fox **** coming from the rear left, so she is leaking diff oil.

Muppets should be sued for negligence. What would have happened if a tyre had blown out leaving you stranded at the side of the M25?

If ever I have a tyre replaced I always ask what they are going to torque them up to. Invariably they give a figure WAY higher than the manufacturer's spec. And when I get home I slacken it off and do it to spec., just to check!
