Re: Finally a nice weekend to get the wash kit out.

As mine is my daily, I don't bother cleaning it unless there's a dry forecast for a few days. Whichever road I use round here, there is farmer's mud or builder's dust. Maybe next week after my run to Newcastle and back. Sometimes mine looks lovely and clean, the PPF makes it easy, wish I'd had the w...

When you do venture out in the UK, you don't look ahead for hazards, you watch the road surface just in front of you.

Re: Jaguar Technical Bulletin

I don't know about the sticky buttons. But I found an old hairdryer I'd forgotten for years and the rubbery handle inserts had gone sticky. I used meths on a rag to rub it a few times which removed the stickiness. Seems OK so far. Maybe the same method would work on your buttons?

Re: Interesting News Article…

I'm surprised pressing and holding the start button doesn't stop any car, except diesels?

Re: sad days are coming

Somebody will still be making IC cars for places like Africa, India? I can't see those countries going over to EVs any time soon. Toyota, amongst others, presumably.

Re: sad days are coming

I assume we will still be able to arrange to import Japanese cars when the UK supply dries up?

I've had V8s for decades, I find the power of them normal now. But I've resisted the temptation to tune my R.

Re: JayEmm testing the P300

I had to run in a gearbox reset in my R, so was pottering about for a while. The V8 can be viscious of course, but there's also something satisfying about pulling away just above tickover and cruising at very low revs. Still quicker than 'normal' drivers.
