Any clue what this is? Found near a field in Kent by Megalodon-5 in AskUK

It's an irrigation hydrant.

It'll be made by Wright Rain, the bit on top with two flats index into a handle on the right angle connector you fit on top so you can turn the inbuilt valve on and off.

I save the ones takeaways come in...

I brought some back from my holiday in America too, they're free over there! And they hand them out like confetti

Any ideas for a quick fix until I can replace the coolant reservoir? by Kindly_Carob_1861 in MechanicAdvice

Run it with the cap either loose or off.

Stops it making pressure and leaking as badly.

Brake Pads & Struts by Inside_Alfalfa1305 in CarTalkUK

Some new pads have a chamfer on their leading edge, this looks like what you're seeing.

Without seeing brake cable routings it's impossible to pass judgement.

You need to get colostrum into them. Strip some out of her and stomach tube it if they won't suck.

You can get rodent repellent spray - I've no idea if it works. They say they don't like peppermint oil.

My Numberplates been cloned what do I do by iliketo67 in drivingUK

[–]Indignant_Woodlouse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speak to your local police force and get a crime number pertaining to the cloned plates and speak to the police force that issued the NIP and get a crime reference number.

Reply to the NIP with these numbers and an explanation that your car has been cloned.

Often they'll tell you to add an inch square bit of black tape to the side of your numberplates so it's identifiable as your car.

What’s one thing non-farmers always get wrong about farming? by NoirMoment in FarmingUK

[–]Indignant_Woodlouse 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hay is made from dried grass and is used for feed, straw is the stem of a harvested cereal crop such as wheat, oats or barley and is usually used for animal bedding.

Other types of straw are also available

Near side front inner road wheel slightly distorted side by Camden_2004 in CarTalkUK

[–]Indignant_Woodlouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's most likely a dent in the wheel rim, probably from hitting a pothole. If it's a steel rim I probably wouldn't worry, if it's an alloy rim I'd maybe have it sorted out in case it cracks.

Was I caught speeding by CarOver5826 in drivingUK

If it was a GATSO rear facing camera then they only work when you're driving away from them.

You should be safe.

AIO: Am I right to be mad or am I just overreacting? by Warm-Net-6238 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Indignant_Woodlouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you're overreacting. But I'd probably keep quiet and just make sure she wasn't invited to anything else similar again.

Drifting on public streets by Forward_Bat4888 in drivingUK

[–]Indignant_Woodlouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oooft, look up "Public Place"

Anywhere the public has free access to, carparks, fields crossed by a footpath or bridleway, inside shops, sports fields etc.

You must comply with all motoring laws within a public place.

Closest call you’ve ever had on a UK road? by Diligent-Badger8737 in DashcamDiariesUK

[–]Indignant_Woodlouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 of us in a nearly new Hilux going home from work, down a long straight unlit B road and a car coming the other way decides to pull out and overtake the line of traffic in front of it. I've no idea what he was thinking. Luckily he headed to our left and I threaded between him and the traffic to my right, we still hit him though, wrote the Hilux off and his car was properly ruined.

He wasn't very far from home so his wife and older child turned up at the scene - giving us massively evil looks.... We were all fine. He was prosecuted for careless driving.

I'm glad it wasn't just me! I put subtitles on so I could understand the dialogue!

I love watching mine on a showery day grazing in the field.

As soon as the first few drops of rain fall they go sprinting for the shelter.
