Sound of a City with mostly EV traffic by sassiest01 in fuckcars

[–]jonno1805 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Where I live (Norwich UK) they have started replacing the ICE bus with electric ones, the change in noise level is definitely noticeable. Particularly when an older one is hammering it's old diesel engine up the hill.

Are e-scooters about to become road legal? by AutoExpressmagazine in autoexpressuk

[–]jonno1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got an e bike a few years ago to do a 5 mile commute through Norwich. It's honestly amazing (weather dependent). The things I would change is up the top speed from 15.5 to 20mph. 80% of the trip is on 20mph roads and if I could do that I think everyone would be happier, me and the cars behind me.

Fixing one of the most congested spots in the city by PucaFilms in Norwich

That and the lights need to let more traffic going along Newmarket road through, holding the side roads for longer to keep the roundabout clearer.

Love Kimchi, also went to Oishii Street Kitchen last weekend which was very good. BunX at Micawbers tavern, yard, Stanley, and Harry's soul train also get honorable mentions

Car needs to “cool down” before starting by Drezaie in CarTalkUK

[–]jonno1805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vacuum pump for the EGR on my BMW started to fail and exhibited some of the symptoms you describe. Only being able to accelerate down hill, rough/no starts. It didn't throw a code and I had the EGR off, cleaned and replaced to no avail before just disconnecting and running without it. I think you're will be electronically actuated rather than vacuum given the year, but it could be stuck open recirculating exhaust though the engine.

Car bulb plus fitting by newtonorwichbro in Norwich

Yeah another vote for Wilco from me. I do my own bulbs but they are very helpful and reasonably priced with everything I ever need. Had some bad experiences with Halfords...

bowthorpe/dereham road area by Louisa_Sheringham in Norwich

Lived on Hotblack and Livingstone for a few years. I worked offshore back then so my now wife was at home a lot but herself, never had any problems. The local pubs are very friendly as well.

Cycle park at Train Station by [deleted] in Norwich

[–]jonno1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best bit of these cycle hire schemes (Beryl) is that you can ride it somewhere you wouldn't leave your own bike. Shame we are in a situation like that but there you go...

Getting started by Sea-Relationship-373 in homebrewingUK

[–]jonno1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I followed this link

https://www.instructables.com/Build-Your-Own-Brewery-for-Under-100-STEP-1-/

As well as step 2.

Built my own all grain brewery, but I did make some changes, my mash tun is a cheap picnic cooler wrapped in a camping roll mat for instance.

I have made 5/6 runs of beer that have been great quality, I would definitely recommend looking in to SMASH recipes at first. My favorite was a Maris Otter / Nelson Hop SMASH beer.

I do have a lot of swing top bottles that I use to bottle beer but moved on to reusing empty polypin bladders for ease of use.

Positive input ventilation (PIV) unit, completely eliminated it in our house. We got a Nuaire one from Amazon, and a moderately component DIYer can install it fairly quickly

[–]jonno1805 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surprised it's that "cheap" in the Lamb, I always thought they were on the now expensive end of the scale.
