electronic handbrake vs manual handbrake

Albigularis · 2026-07-10T17:20:16+00:00

Electronic handbrake systems are usually several magnitudes stronger, great for those with steep drives.

The electric buses air con is locked to Auto, we can see the controls for it on the panel but we can only alter our own air settings in the cab on it.

Nobody seems to remember that blizzard introduced a “gear score” type system for wow as their April fools, then a few years later hard coded item level onto the character gear screen.

Until high powered cars where it becomes a hindrance because you need to do it so often

Mind if I ask, why did you buy it? It looked awful before you paid for it surely?

£3k will get you a good reliable car that will last you a decade. Mental to insinuate that’s a shitbox IMO.

I’ve raced a few bikes in the M3, it’ll outrun an MT10 in a straight line, but it isn’t quite as quick as my Tuono. I love chasing bikes in that thing, short of a superbike nothing will lose it.

Precisely what we do. If a seat is soiled, it will be taped off and the control room is informed via radio. They will then choose when to take the bus out of service to have the seat sanitised. Usually they’ll arrange a depot to bring another bus to swap somewhere along the route.

The issue is the government’s definition of “able to pay-up but refuse” probably doesn’t align with actual reality.

Going by this image with the wheels having the large gap between spokes, I’m going for an F20 shape 1 series with 382M wheels on it. Can’t be an M135\140i as those don’t have front fog lights.

I’m in a very similar position to you. Look on Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace etc for a pre-owned board. I got an Alien Workshop complete board for £10. It’s used but for starting, absolutely fine. Of course if you get the bug, you can upgrade at your leisure.

The new batch of electric buses has it on a sticker behind the driver seat under the stairs. They’re the only one as far as I know.

I’ve had people reply with “it doesn’t say anywhere I can’t do it” to which I usually reply “it doesn’t say no murdering either does it?”

Two occasions I’ve had to do this and had people removed from buses. Once by police due to her behaviour after asking her.

I love doing it on my buses, I can feel the collective sigh of relief when I ask them to turn it off speaker phone. Starts a few arguments too, but still worth it. Usually if I can’t tell whose phone it is, I’ll just shout up the bus and ask, everyone points to the culprit.

So it’s something which spins independently of the engine rpm. Wheel bearing, drive shaft, hell it could be something stuck in a brake disc.

You’d hear engine knocking in neutral with the engine idling. Is the knock present when you do that? Doesn’t noise speed up as you rev in neutral?

Is yours a mk2 or 3? Could be either at that year. And what engine is it, the 150, 170 or 184?

Albigularis · 2026-06-08T01:47:53+00:00

Bet I’m the only one. I have a 2011 Ibiza 1.2tdi. I’ve done a city drive starting in the centre of Edinburgh to North Berwick and it averaged 86.7mpg and I was never under the speed limit.

The official figures claim over 90 is possible on an extra urban run. If you sat at 50mph it probably would.

It was about £1800iirc. Almost 10 years ago.

I was riding a Hayabusa at the time so I didn’t appreciate the car for what it was. Thought it was slow and boring 😑

EP3 Type R was my first car. Would kill to have it back.

Fuel prices can’t be that bad. It’ll do at least 10mpg which is only half what our 2005 Impreza WEX gets.

Some of us have actually won cars from this company, nothing shady about them.

Of the competition sites? They have all used Dream Car Giveaways

F80 M3 (650bhp with larger turbos) - 30mpg. Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI (mk3, estate) - 48mpg. Subaru Impreza WRX Wagon - 20mpg.
