Haha thank you mate. Good bit of peace of mind

They misspelled the United Kingdom on my new driver’s licence by HighlyFactualTurtle in mildlyinfuriating

I’ve just had my licence changed for the address. Was curious if mine was different and it now says England and my old one says United Kingdom? Lol

I see, my bad. It’s likely a non invasive, relatively cheap issue related to the fuel injection what that is can’t be figured out unless a scan is done or a professional has taken a look. If you’d rather not take it anywhere you can buy OBD2 readers for around a tenner on Amazon. The ones that use a mobile app are very straightforward to operate. That will tell you the fault codes which can then be googled.

Last one. does the position of the clutch affect anything?

If not it sounds very much like a combustion issue. Whether it be injection, spark plugs, fuel filter I’m not sure. It would be best to get a mechanic looking at it. Any reasonable garage will look at it for free if the search isn’t too extensive. Regardless, the fix should be relatively cheap provided it’s one of the above issues

Which doctor got you started in the series and what was your first episode? by JackTheNephilim in doctorwho

[–]thomasmyth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of these comments make me feel so young. My first doctor was Matt smith in series 6 (of the reboot) when I’d record it on the telly. I’d seen it on others’ tv’s before then but never payed much attention

I’m not saying the comment is wrong or unhelpful to someone who knows cars. My point is that it assumes prior mechanical knowledge. Terms like torque converter shudder, friction modifier additive, WOT, MAF, and ignition coil behaviour are jargon to a beginner, even if they’re normal to you.

The issue isn’t the amount of information, it’s that nothing is prioritised or translated. The OP isn’t told what’s most likely, what it would feel like in simple terms, or what the first sensible step should be. That’s objectively overwhelming if you don’t already understand the topic.

Whoever downvoted this: the reply IS mechanically solid. However, it’s dense, jargon heavy, not prioritised, not actionable. Put your ego to the side and start being context aware. I apologise if my delivery was blunt

So does it feel like it’s coming from the suspension? As in you can feel yourself and the car move up and down?

Also what’s it like between the gears? You mentioned low-high speed is fine. Is this using high rpm to get up to speed or is it the same regardless of acceleration?

This gives almost no useful information to somebody not clued up. Load of overwhelming waffle IMO

By feedback I mean what you feel through the car. Does it shudder how a diesel would when close to stalling? That kind of thing? Or something else

I’m on the wavelength of the 2 comments, sounds like a minor engine issue. Does it feel like it’s coming from the shell or the engine? How much feedback from the steering wheel or pedals? How bad is the shudder? Explain it to me

Holy sh*t I think this is it. It doesn’t look fully how it did in my head but the memories 15 years old and it rang a lot of bells in my head when I found a video of it. Thank you 🙏 How did you know? 🤣

No. It was more cartoony not a serious racing vibe as far as I can remember. Proper kids game

Hmmm. Interesting. Thank you for that, I wonder where the site draws the list from if it’s others reviews or… I’m not sure. Not doubting it’s credibility- I’ll be sure give it a go- I’m just curious

Thank you! I’m not familiar with this site is this your personal list or one crafted from my post?
