Re: That COVID - How's it affected you?
One of the sad things is the lack of social interaction possible. As I've become older I've become more self-confident in speaking to people I don't know, I don't mean one of those nutters that tries talking to everyone but I'll catch a glimpse of someone's eye contact or facial expression.....which...

Re: 2014 508 2.2HDi GT Auto - what kind of auto?
I am a fan of the Legacy as it goes, I think the MPG's are a bit lacking and the Road Tax high, but supposed to be a good steer. I even looked at a .........no wait........I can't even sayyyyy........a ........... Le...........xus IS300h hybrid :shock: they've become affordable* but although they ar...

Wiggy - thanks for the technical data, gives me a point of research [read: discover ticking time bomb gearbox most likely] Doggy - yes I kinda thought the massage seats would be a one-time only waste of effort. Also "surprised at looking at dizzlers" - yes but then the choice of carriage for our nee...

2014 508 2.2HDi GT Auto - what kind of auto?
Hello my forum friends. A friend* of mine might* be checking out potential new motor carriages for his family main car again. He happened upon an advert for a rather lovely 508 2.2 GT with a slushy g/box. My question is - what type of auto box would it be? hoping not the 'EGS' electro/mechanical box...

Re: Oil extractor question
The used oil in the Citroen comes out extremely thin/runny I think Diesel fuel gets into the sump on regens so it's nice to know you've added fresh oil just to save the poor thing from more hardship.

Re: Oil extractor question
:lol: I think to me it's more about the time; jacking the car, axle stands, wrestle the undertray (then later fabricate some elaborate tie-wraps and washer fixings*) transferring oil between containers..... I do 4 oil changes per year and if there was an economical way of quickly whipping out old oi...

Re: Wanted, steering rack pipe
Someone might have something but I think you'll be very lucky if they do.
Might be an idea to speak to a hydraulic hose company to make up a flexi repair piece or something?

Re: Oil extractor question
Some brief 'youtubing' seems to say that you'll be cranking that Pela pump almost every minute to maintain a vacuum, don't think I'd like that.
I saw Lidl's oil pumps recently but the fluid-transfer rate seemed very slow....so much so I read the specs on the packaging and put it back.

Re: Oil extractor question
I see 'Pela' oil pumps talked about with enthusiasm on the Volvo Forum.
TBH I want one because it's a proper PITA wrestling with the undertray and last time I did it on my cold concrete floor it made me feel quite ill with the near constant little knocks to the noggin

Re: Domestic Lighting cable sizing
Dubious calculation alert: I have 4 x 6 amp MCB's for lighting only. 4 x 6 amp x 240v = 5760 watts max power. 5760 watts/5w LED lamp = I can have 1152 downlighters - I think that will be enough :lol: Bailes - I saw one of those 'electricians day' vids where he was called to a new-build apartment in ...
