I've managed to pump stale fuel out via the filler neck. Finding a responsible way to dispose of it is a bigger problem.

Wow, that's nice.

I haven't opened it yet...a hitherto elusive front bumper cover.

I think there is very little chance that in 50 years most homes will own a car. The idea that all the ICE cars today will be replaced by electric or H2 cars used in similar ways doesn‘t seem realistic (or necessary) to me.

With a humble iPhone SE.

A roadster with a luggage rack on the back is just about the coolest thing there is. In my opinion.

Ignore this post - I got this wrong. Sorry.

So, are you looking for recommendations for who might be able to refurbish them? (I can't help. My Z3 spent some time in Wales, but it's 17,000 km away now.)

It's the last 7 digits that actually identify the part, so they should be the same.

As a last measure before pulling the door apart, I checked whether my scanner allowed me to control the windows. It enabled me to put the window up (I had to activate it twice — once to go two-thirds up, and then again to fully close). The window sounds fine and travels smoothly, so I think the...

The drivers door lock is a bit temperamental. I gave it a go, but I'm not sure it did what it was meant to. In any case, the window didn't come back to life.

Things move slow...I have swapped the switches and it made no difference so it looks like I am going into the door, hopefully soon rather than months from now. In the meantime, I need to remove the hazard-light switch. My Bentley service manual seems to suggest it pulls down and out from...

I don't think it did. It seems the original bags or inflators or whatever were made by Petri, not Takata. There's been a couple of articles online over the years saying there is some risk that a repair might have been done with an affected Takata bag, which would introduce the risk. Presumably...

The facelift Z3, followed by the E85 Z4 (from all angles except the front, which deserved an E89 bonnet).

Our payback was 4 years. everything Is ‘profit’ from now on. We use our air con whenever we feel like it when it is hot - we don’t bother to worry about whether it’s worth it since it doesn’t cost much to run anymore. I figured the panels might help the house stay a little cooler but I think...

I think most systems from good installers are set up to make sure you get the best out of each panel. Cheaper systems may not and ones installed years ago don’t. I think Covid, war in Ukraine, inflation in many countries, poor exchange rate in Australia and various other things are all keeping...

The cost-effectiveness depends entirely on how much power you use and when. We have a 5.4kW system which, on a sunny day, covers most of our daytime use and also exports a fair bit to the grid. It mostly covers our ducted air-con during the hottest part of the day. We try to do laundry, run our...

One has a little ear, because the writer began with a down stroke. The one written by the less kind finger doesn't.

Different people, I think. The letters are a different shape.
