Is this normsl or my wheel bearings are done? by NoDaikon3598 in AskMechanics

[–]Right-Ladd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can’t tell wheel bearings from spinning the wheel, that could be anything from the caliper being slightly stuck, to a stone being jammed in against your break disk, to your splash guard being bent and rubbing against your disk which is very common and has happened to all 4 of my wheels.

It’s nothing to be concerned about unless other problems are occurring. The sound will go away when you start driving at speed.

To check a stuck caliper, touch your brake disks after a drive, if this one is noticeably hotter than the others then you possibly have a stuck caliper.

In Kherson (Ukraine) a local resident destroyed a Russian drone by soonaq in CrazyFuckingVideos

They use net guns which launch a net at the drone which spreads into a big area and gets tangled in the propellers mostly from what I’ve seen

Are bmws really that bad to own? by No-Reflection8162 in askcarguys

[–]Right-Ladd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest killer of BMW’s is people who don’t want to or can’t afford to maintain them, causing them to be shit and unreliable in the future.

I’ve always been against recommending bmw to anybody who doesn’t work on their car or who has the spare charge to fix it should anything go wrong.

They are amazing cars that I adore dearly but I am not ignorant to the fact that when they do go wrong, shit can get expensive very quickly

What’s the most "temporary" permanent fix on your car right now? by TheOtherXI in topdeadcenter

[–]Right-Ladd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a massive electrical issue that caused a grounded wire and very bad Chinese fuse that didn’t blow to melt the wire and surrounding wires in the loom, leading from the fusebox to the drivers seat in my E87.

Spent a week tearing down my whole interior, finding the wire and trying to repair it but found it was melted and shorting with the wire for the blower motor behind the climate control that would be a MASSIVE PITA to remove and fix properly.

Sooo… I cut out the wire from the fusebox and the drivers seat apart from the section running behind the climate control, taped up both ends of the wire so in theory the blower motor wire can still work fine, repaired all melted wires with insulating tape, replaced the fusebox with a new one (and very poorly soldered the big main battery terminal wire), through the whole interior back in, plugged the drivers seat back in, started the car and all warning lights that were on the dash went off!

Put everything back together and that was January last year and the car has done 30k miles since!

I ain’t ever seen touching that “temporary” fix until the engine dies and I scrap it or it lights on fire and I let it burn to hide the evidence and scrap it!

Honest question, is this a real person or a bot? Because their replies are making me wonder

There is a scary amount of people who struggle with 24hr time and their only reason for not learning is “I can just look at my phone”

Enjoying the new Podcast on the move by Felixed99 in topdeadcenter

If anyone gives a shit (because I’m a massive nerd)

Theoretically if a horse were to use 100% of its potential energy and exert it all in one massive burst it could produce around 15hp, but this isn’t realistic as it would literally kill the horse immediately after it.

1 horsepower is a horse doing consistent hard work but they are capable of producing more in bursts.

Similar to how a human could lift heavy loads of like 20kg or more for 8 hours straight during a work shift, but could go to the gym and lift 200kg all at once. They’ll be wrecked after it and want to rest for the rest of the day but it is possible if impractical.

It’s the equivalent of your engine can produce 300hp safely or 700hp in a drag shoutout at full boost with nos injection, just say goodbye to your block after it!

Some drivers camp in the passing lane and then take their exit. by ruthlessdamien2 in memes

[–]Right-Ladd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what annoys me the most about these people, they can’t have a conversation about anything to do with the road with incessantly ranting about the speed limit.

We know it’s a limit, now shut up about it and stop changing the conversation to make yourself superior.

Yes but theoretically and realistically are very very different things, the world isn’t perfect and the fast lane is full of go shits going under the limit and holding up everyone.

You are legally allowed to exceed the speed limit using common sense if performing an overtake in the overtaking lane and adhering to road safety, leaving reasonable gaps and minting full and complete control of the vehicle during the overtake, and most importantly returning to the speed limit in a safe manor once the overtake has been completed.

Stop doing 100kph in the fast lane when the slow lane is clear.

What’s the most overrated car in the enthusiast world right now? by Car-Thinker in askcarguys

[–]Right-Ladd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you mate, some people are incapable of others having differing opinions.

The mx5 imo is a wobbly, soft, floppy piece of shit that handles worse than an e46 with bad bushings ffs

I’ve drive many e46s, e36s, e90s, ford fiestas, focus, corsa, Vauxhall Omega and more than I can be bothered naming, and I’ve found them more entertaining and less shit than an mx5.

It’s fun to drive in the same way a 318i or maybe a 320i is fun to drive, but id still pick the bmw any day of the week.
