I cannae mind being stung for duty on anything that I've bought that has came from China via eBay or Ali Express? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

you'll notice a world of difference

IIRC, there's no import duty on chinese stuff?

Go to the page on Ali Express, go to the address bar at the top of the window, click and on it drag to select all text, right click the highlighted address text, select copy, come back here, post reply, right click the text box here you type, select paste, finish like normal post. As all the...

Nae bother, fancy posting a link so I can look at the item?

I've heard the horror stories, and had one of my banks point blank refuse to let me send money to that site, however, I've bought a couple of things through them, but paid via Paypal, as it offers an extra layer of protection, and the items did turn up, so I'd say go for it, but be savvy, use a...

Must be something about this time of year that sees our cars fight us... ...My beemer had an advisory on it's MOT last year for slight play on lower X/S/F balljoint. The X is important. Not a problem, I mot'd it a couple of days before going away on a trip offshore, followed by another long...

I was jesting... :roll

Should only be 3 wires on it, big brown is alternator to battery, smaller brown wire with yellow trace is ignition live "excitor", white wire is the tacho (rev counter) signal.

You're telling porky pies, I've just looked up a star chart and there isn't a Disco1BFG in any constellation... Most informative Kieth, thanks for sharing your knowledge again.

Gutted for you bud - black Friday sales are around the corner, get yourself a dashcam and prosecute the next plonker?

I won't know whether to click like or not, first sentence's victory is negated by the second sentence announcing a new "adventure"?

The vehicle's on loan to a friend, and I'm trying to work out tyre pressures for my new tyres, which I'm looking to fit back end of next week, if I get time. They are not an OE size of tyre, so I'm having to work out, and going with the old "max pressure of new tyre x (load on tyre / max tyre...

Drill lots of holes in your trunking, some of them get cable ties going through them, others get dome head cap screws going into your aforementioned rivnuts. simples.

HI, I'm looking for axle weights for an unladen 3 door hippo? I've found this in the manual: Our one is a Diesel Auto, so that will put it at the heavier end of the scale, call it 1525kg tare, and it's got a MAM / MGVW of 2050kg, but then the axle weights add up to 2170kg? What I'm really...

[I've retyped this message three times as I'm worried it sounds like having a go, which I'm not meaning to, so read between the lines] Surely if a bit of debris can cut through an orange plastic conduit, it would also cut through a plastic trunking? I accept that there is a need to protect the...

I know what you mean, but the wires would be double insulated, individually insulated, then insulated again as they go through their plastic conduit?

Delphi tool clone from eBay with a cheep laptop works well for me, and a few others on here use them as well, Nodge & Andyfreelandy use them too IIRC.

Rivnuts are great, I'd recommended them before, but didn't suggest them this time to try and keep the number/size of new holes constrained. If you're going with rivnuts, and those anchors, I'd suggest cap screws rather than hex headed conventional bolts, as I don't think there'd be a lot of room...
