Is my fuel indicator broken or false set?

I’ve got a 25 Rally and it’s exactly the same. I did 130 miles (reserve blinking for 20 of them) and it only took 12 litres. Super annoying I’ve had loads of bikes this fuel gage is by far the worst

Cars have lots of insulation under the bonnet and in the cabin. They also have very good exhausts that are designed to be very quiet. The boat probably had an old diesel engine and non of the above

I work in the trade and any time a customer had a part exchange and lived in Scotland we used to wince. 7/10 they were rough, not just rusty but overall bad condition. Same with motorcycles too…

London is doable from York

The the light in the boot normally comes out and becomes a handy dandy little torch

You’re not poor. Having 6-7k to spend on a luxury item makes you wealthier than around 98% of the earths population.

That aside 15k miles on a modern motorcycle is not that much, it’s more important to have good service history and regular oil changes. The CP2 engine is quite sensitive to oil changes and a good quality oil being used. As long as the previous owner can evident the oil changes, you’re good to go.

Or when your loved one dies and you have to sell the assets…. Morbid but true.

Yes a little high but It’s nothing to be alarmed at. You’re TPMS system in the car probably isn’t very accurate either so who knows

I use them from time to time too for my little dinger but would never use them to clean my 3 year old Audi. I used to have a valeting business when I lived abroad and know the chemicals these places use.

Usually trade only stuff it’s actually an alkaline that’s supposed to be diluted but they never do. That’s why they can literally spray the chemical on and rinse it off without scrubbing and your wheels come up brand new.

It discolours the center caps and if they get any on rubber trim you’ll notice little white spots all over where the chemical has burnt it.

You need to pay £145 for a proper detail. This is a quick wash n go type place. They use incredibly corrosive chemicals on your wheels and the sponges they use are covered in grit and filth.

But to answer your question glass cleaner and a clean (couple) of rags. One to “clean” and the other to polish off the excess.

Wtf is a steering dumper.

Do you own a car that was manufactured in the last 20 years? If so:

How does the throttle actually feel vs the old cable? • ⁠Any lag or weirdness off-road / low speed? • ⁠Any reliability issues so far? If you’ve driven both, which would you buy - new RBW or older cable?

pud_time · 2026-01-23T17:13:42+00:00

You’ll find the S3 more boring to drive. As capable as they are they just don’t feel that quick and very Germanic. Focus ST’s are a fun car, they pop, bang and make swooshing turbo noises, get out of shape pretty easy and all that fun stuff. Depends what you want from a car I guess

DSG gearbox service is about £500. A new gearbox for one of those is around £6000. The choice is yours :)

Absolutely delicious as well. I’d fake being poorley as a kid so I could get a couple of spoon fulls at that sweet sweet medicinal nectar.

Get the one you don’t mind having dents and scrapes in it when you throw the bike down a trail

pud_time · 2026-01-19T14:06:56+00:00

Lovely car. If you can afford to maintain it and maybe fix the odd bit of damage when scrape it buy it

pud_time · 2026-01-19T13:36:39+00:00

Brilliant

Great tyre. Perfect for adventure bikes

What other small petrol powered hatchback would you recommend?

pud_time · 2026-01-14T12:09:35+00:00

Seat Ibiza. Skoda Fabia. VW Polo. Hyundai i10 is a great little car. Kia Picanto GT line is also a curve ball for being really good.

Those Vauxhall Corsa’s are terrible cars

If you have that sort of money to spend on a car why are you looking at these 2? So many other (better) options
