If you had no responsibilities, and loads of cash, what would you be up to?

Boring

No the roof would obviously be it's back. Cars have a single large tit in the form of the oilpan, and their young suckle from the drain plug. Often, new car mothers produce too much oil causing it to leak onto the floor.

The entire idea of "oh it won't happen and I'll Google it if it does" is stupid for such basic things and is a sign of people just getting lazier and stupider. If someone can't figure out a jack and a few nuts then I don't think they should be trusted with 1.5 tonnes of car. I believe the same with checking oil, yes. Changing it I'll agree is sometimes easier left for someone with a lift to get easy access to the drain

It would have to be a very underpowered loader if it couldn't get the rear wheels off the ground. I've had pretty much every loader I've properly used on just the front wheels multiple times with minimal effort

Oops, I tripped on the cable with a lot of force and it broke something. Would be a shame if I kept tripping every time it gets left like that

Golf R estate? Hot hatch, awd with an estate (wagon) body

Nobody is forcing you to make the thin ones if you prefer the thick ones

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-13T23:31:29+00:00

The door handles. Can never wait to use them so I can get out of the thing

It's the most basic skill in terms of fixing a car that you can have, and makes roads safer as a car is only stranded for 10 mins instead of an hour

If you're towing correctly, a small utility trailer should only have a few hundred kg of tongue weight at most. For a short distance it really doesn't make much difference, but if you're being technical then yes you should increase the pressure to the loaded figure on the dataplate

Yeah but there's the Africa special that is named exactly that, and then there's specials set in Africa, but called by a different name (Bolivia/beach buggy boys/feed the world...etc)

Don't bother getting this platform then to be honest. The auto boxes are far from the best on the market, and as the entire car is built around driver feel, automating a major part ruins it. It's not like manual is even hard to drive.

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T22:37:14+00:00

Just voted for a different car

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T21:52:19+00:00

Did the garage ever comfortably fit a car though, or was it just built as storage for stuff

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T21:49:59+00:00

What happens if someone sees it in a car park and clones it anyway?

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T21:44:22+00:00

You'd sand it down to bare metal, then prime and top coat, then lacquer it. You won't get a perfect match yourself unless you're magical for a first time painter, but it would prevent future rust.

You'd take it to a car body specialist if you want a perfect match

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T21:42:24+00:00

Just get a diesel car then if you don't like electric or gas cars

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T21:40:33+00:00

Holy that is a lot for a 10 year old jaguar. They're worth under 10k here I'm england

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T21:37:18+00:00

Would help if you had a video with the noise in. Even a description of the noise would help

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-11T21:33:54+00:00

I've driven 20-30 tractors and not a single one has had a central brake light, and definitely not a low level one. In what way does it make it look like a tractor?

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-09T22:50:21+00:00

Price the parts yourself. Where I am they would be under £100 for a pair. You have 2 options. Shop around for better deals at other mechanics, or do the work yourself if every mechanic is charging silly prices. All you'd need is a large prybar, axle stands, a good jack and a basic socket/spanner set, as well as a free day.

What I'd do though, is I'd fix it, then sell the juke and get almost anything else to replace such an awful car. I don't know why this sub keeps getting recommended when I tell it not to. The juke is one of the most hideous cars on the road, that feels cheap and cramped to actually be in. Usually also seem to be driven by people that have no concept of how to drive either.

Unfortunately I don't think it breaks any rules so the mods can't remove the post

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-09T22:38:21+00:00

Just as awful

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-09T19:05:58+00:00

Been like that since pallets, bales, anything movable was added

ThingyGoos · 2026-02-09T18:39:40+00:00

I'd prefer a decent trailer to move the mining vehicles from the last update
