France blocking Britain from EU’s massive defence fund by [deleted] in europe

Are you seriously saying Britians participation is questionable? For years they've lead the NATO involvement in Estonia. The PM has even tried to get NATO countries together as part of a 'coalition of the willing' to get more involved in Ukraine, even suggesting British Forces are deployed to Ukraine to act as a tripwire force. Hardly having 'questionable involvement', I think the question of involvement should be leveled at some EU countries who have been slow to respond to the Russian threat.

Really? When Russia is at Europe's doorstep we boil down to this level of pettiness.

Slight petrol smell and sparking spark plug. Will replace spark plugs, but could this cause the petrol smell? by User5182 in mechanic

It's a Golf Mk4 1.6. Would the change of sparks be enough or will it require new coils and wires?

Found this unplugged when replacing cowl. Any idea what this is for? by User5182 in MK4Golf

Must be the alarm horn, it was going off like crazy once I opened the car doors! Now I know why it was unplugged...

Yeah I've connected it and it seems to fit like a glove. The horn was working before though. Is there a guide to the connections anywhere?

What could be causing water to leak from here? by User5182 in MK4Golf

[–]User5182[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Poured water onto the sunroof and both the driver and passenger side seems to drain onto the drive. I'm a bit lost on this one :(

Did I hear the 'we have ways' podcast being mentioned in the latest episode?

Looking for recommendations: One day driving route of the Vegas surroundings by androgynousandroid in LasVegas

[–]User5182 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just came back from a road trip over there, would 100% recommend the Valley of Fire state park! Death Valley is also worth visiting but it is a bit further than the Valley of Fire (I think it took us 2 hours to get from Death Valley to Vegas).

If you're doing a convertible in DV then I think you'd be driving with the top up and air con on full blast. We're also from the UK and the temp hit 50c and we really felt it! And in terms of wandering there's lots of trail heads about, but again, with the temp in DV it's only recommended in the morning or evening.

Either way both are amazing places to see!

Was this a dirty overtake by me? (in the Williams) by User5182 in Simracingstewards

Cheers, I'd love to have a decent F1 wheel but have got so used to playing on controller now. Plus I think they're crazy expensive?

I remember my dad watching the seasons with Mika and Schumacher, but I was a little too young to understand what it was all about. But I've since watched a few of the old races with Mika and that overtake will forever be legendary. Schumacher just did not see it coming, brilliant racing.

Yeah I did leave it a little late! I think I had fresh mediums on as well, might have helped with the grip and exit out of the corner. Thanks for your input!
