tbf, there is skill involved in proper wheel correction / alignment - its not as trivial as you think. I went to a bod in Southampton who was some veteran guru who could do it in about 20 minutes ish but he knew exactly what he was doing - the guy at kwikfit i met last year, not so much I think some people confuse standard tracking with full on alignment, not every car needs the latter

Prefer Ethiopia myself...

Does a CT200h need full alignment - ie camber etc? I am having a tricky time getting someone as I am in the sticks - ish but have a booking for hunter alignment in a week for £70 inc the vat - I need full alignment and dont think the bod at kwikfit done a good job last year as my front camber looks out

My last tank was £100.1 if that matters, 53.56L so not even full

Rattling about the BS that's going on in the world right now that nobody is allowed question. Oil companies are soaring in record breaking multi billion pound profits.. that's the last quarter mind Combustion engine cars are banned without any referendum or public opinion everywhere in the world, it just happened. Speaking of which, combustion engine cars in the UK contribute about 0.0004 percent of global greenhouse gases worldwide Low emission zones getting rolled out gradually until traditional cars are banned The problem is most people seem to think what's occuring is fine, it's the covid / stroke Ukraine war bla bla.. It's nothing to do with either but everything to do with the UNECE manifesto for 2030, it's no coincidence that all this stuff is happening right now Electric cars are inherently digital devices, far easier for Government's to manipulate and control, ask anyone working for JLR, Audi, BMW and Mercedes and they will confirm that the level of integration with the internet and personal information on cars made now is off the scale relative to previous cars we were used to. The sad thing is people are buying Electric cars thinking they are doing their bit for the environment, I can do my bit by recycling food stuffs and not being a pig. That helps too

You could be forgiven for thinking some people think its a cure. [Colorado Gov. Jared Polis] “This is the Pfizer vaccine, arriving here in Colorado, to end the pandemic!” he exclaims as the door opens slowly, awkwardly revealing a delivery man who perhaps wasn’t aware he’d been chosen to save mankind—or at least Coloradans.

You are talking google maps and technology which is one thing, my new LG OLED TV is fantastic and tech is amazing but you are missing the point when it comes to cars - unless you want to be a sheep it’s certainly not good at all - in 2030 you won’t be driving a car, Governments will have more control of the vehicle than you will. I suggest you bookmark this and call back - like I said Governments are not telling you information they do not want you to know, now that would ruin things wouldn’t it BTW - I never was of the opinion that mobile phones gave cancer, I also think Elvis is dead while we are at it and I dont have tin foil in my attic to protect me from the 5G mast 40 miles away.

I haven’t answered as you clearly are too clever for me and are on the side of the Government here, besides some people have actual day jobs - remember when Boris had these hands face space meetings occurring before he was getting bladded in weekend parties? right, excellent - do you recall anyone asking how many have had adverse reacting to these experimental drugs? dead? Neither do I -- did you even raise the question or just gladly roll up your sleeve for the 5 or 6 jabs and happy days? protected against covid for a few more months - here are the new symptoms from the BBC, no doubt backed up by leading virologists of the world shortness of breath feeling tired or exhausted aching body headache sore throat blocked or runny nose loss of appetite diarrhoea feeling sick or being sick....... Anything basically is covid, how excellent. The BBC are rogues, somehow I wonder if you are a Tory also as it could explain things. They knew about Jimmy Saville way way back but kept quiet, why? he was a money spinner for the organisation, Ian Trethowan was also a Tory.. join the dots - just like now they are raking in money from Pfizer and Gates to keep the covid franchise going. These are some of the ADRs from COVID vaccines, a year old - I guess you will dismiss this as coming from my mates down the boozer - there is a reason people have been dropping like flies and getting brain bleeds - My mom has been unable to talk since she got her mandatory vaccine to keep her safe from covid. Does Bill Gates care? not as long as his bank account is expoentially increasing at a rate of knots People it seems are just too dumb now to question anything that is going on, which is why the world is in such a mess

Government's screw up people, politicians are sleaze bags - always have been. If you think they are on your side, well ok.

People like you listen to all the biased government and news feeds from CNN, MSN and the BBC. You probably are waiting for the 6th booster to cure covid right? I had covid 2 weeks ago and was sick for around a week, pretty much the same as the flu when I was sick in 2019 (If I took a PCR test back then my guess it it would have 2 lines also) - my triple jabbed wife got covid and was far far worse off then me, 40 years old perfect health and she has been weird since truth be told. People like you never ask Boris how many are dead from vaccines - because the answer is zero right, the BBC says so. Bill Gates is rinsing in wealth due to gullible people like you. Hang on, my tin foil hat is loose.

People were conned by Governments on Diesel(gate) and are getting done again now - the giveaway for me was the sudden and dramatic way petrol cars were banned across the world - by leading governments, with zero input from anyone. Electric cars are not good for the environment but very good for an AI digital controlled society of 2030 and beyond, they have 5 x the amount of fossil fuels to manufacture over a combustion car and that’s excluding all the charging they need and mining minerals for batteries - tens of billions of batteries. Bottom line is do you listen to the governments telling you stuff that is inherently biased, they are not telling you stuff they do not want you to know (obviously) or make your own judgement Have a look at jobs and top salaries in 2040 – its all-digital and AI – manual labour type jobs are finished – shop assistants, taxi drivers, all that is finished and now the steps are made for this future we have ahead – even stamps are going digital. People might say but wait, we have black boxes now what is the problem – well black boxes will be nothing like the cars in 2030 – not even close – if you work in Electronics like me, you can see the way technology is going - my HP laptop is about 2 years old, moving to 3 and it has almost 11 Billion transistors crammed into its GPU die alone and this is pretty old tech nowadays. Cars are heading to the way mobile phones did from the Nokia 3310 with snake to the ones we use now which can pretty much allow you to WFH if you wanted and watch 4K movies in your lunch break, they will not really be cars that we were used to and certainly not a drivers car like a Subaru. Also I am seeing more and more people getting fined for parking EVs by nasty people like parking eye taking advantage of desperate owners looking for a charge, and the fine is £100 on tap

Cyliner 1 is on the LHS, drive side (open to correction) so the O2 sensor is on the same side

You mean waiting for the sixth booster (and however else are dished out) to cure covid? Serious question btw. There is nothing wrong with asking questions like why have we been shown data largely incorrect and used to maximize the scaremongering impact...or why is the data not transparent. Ask these questions however and Tin and Foil get mentioned As for climate change, there is nothing questionable about querying the fossil fuels needed to manufacture EVs, no? Nor the fact combustion engines alone in the UK have pretty much zero impact to global greenhouse gases itself. So banning them entirely doesn't make much sense unless there are ulterior motives involved

Do you think the covid vaccines are good? for Bill Gates and his many shares in bio medicine companies - his 'charitable help' to CNN, BBC and other large media outlets - most certainly beneficial – financially – you only need to look at the 50Billion revenue figures from Pfizer, AstraZeneca and the wealth of Bill himself doubling over the last two years and figure it out. For curing covid? come on, pull my other one. Everyone I know who has been vaccinated, multiple times at that has got covid, my wife three jabs, sick as a small hospital. me, no jabs but also have got it, no worse than the last cold I had years ago. So for a ID scheme its certainly worked out but for endless jabs flattening the curve, curing covid – really. And why would Pfizer (and Gates) try so hard to unsuccessfully backlist all clinical data relating to vaccines if they are so goodie goodie guys.? Simply put - you always get people who take as face value everything they read - other people prefer to probe and question things, covid data was nonsensical to me years ago – ditto to climate change – you only need to look at the raw materials needed to make Electric Cars and the fossil fuels needed to charge them up to see it doesn’t quite add up. There is a very good reason no EV manufacturer has given their amazing cars to Scotty Kilmer – he would destroy them. I often wondered how they would fare from getting driven hard as I tend to not hang around in my Subaru and I doubt a battery would last me long, overtaking and so forth. I read a report, for once which was useful (ish) in that is was a Jaguar I-Pace driven at 70mph constant until it ran out of juice, less than 200 miles of a range and this Jaguar can cost almost 80K fully kitted out. My 14-year Subaru can drive from Southampton to Edinburgh doing 70-80mph non-stop, very safely also since it has permanaent 50/50 AWD – so this falls short of my expectations. I would be in a hotel drinking a nice single malt – the EV on the other hand probably looking for a working charge point hundreds of miles away. So, climate change is more codswallop, the planet has always experienced droughts and natural disasters – it’s certainly nothing new. Combustion cars are getting wiped off the planet without even consultation - the people who think Electric cars are good for the planet are probably the same ones who think Bill Gates is donating all his money to worthwhile causes.

Anyone who thinks favourable on Bill Gates needs a head examination, in case you haven't figured out he is shoving his nose in pretty much every news agency and bio medical company in the world. An easier way to put it is find me something his dodge money has not touched.

Oil companies are not exactly struggling for cash flow, this goes back to what I've said a few times. Question everything. There is no climate change crisis other that the one government's are spoon feeding you. Using Ukraine as an excuse to hike up fuel is a lame excuse. I see more and more utterly useless cycle lanes getting made in and around Bristol, pointless but the idiots rolling these out across the nation aren't thinking this will increase traffic congestion thus making pollution worse. Oh no, it's the odd cyclists they are thinking about. These stupid lanes plus more and more low emission zones popping up is what's going to cull perfectly good combustion cars is all that they are doing, turning people to sheep.

fill your boots and crack open the bubbly!

Planned Obsolescence... something people are not really considering Never has it been easier for automotive manufacturers to have control, not unlike Apple throttling the battery of iphones with OTA updates. BTW, Scotty is still waiting for a EV manufacturer to give him one of their vehicles to 'try out' https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/18/cost-of-living-crisis-big-business-economy-prices-wages High energy costs may have millions wondering how they will heat their homes, but BP’s chief executive boasted unashamedly that they turn his company into a “cash machine”. BP’s and Shell’s profits soared to a combined $32bn last year, with BP shareholders standing to benefit from a $1.5bn share buyback. Demands for a windfall tax have proved popular because people intuitively understand that these enormous rewards are unearned and unfair.

Hopefully Britons are not this dumb.. https://www.motorbiscuit.com/fuel-hoarder-spills-1800-worth-gas-onto-street/

Too many people are swayed and brainwashed by mainstream media now - if you turn the clock back to 2016 the world would be no different would it? had you not read all the scaremongering, heck you wouldnt even know we have escaped two years of the deadliest virus wiping out humanity in history of mankind. Moving back to petrol prices - I was travelling from Bristol to Southampton in my trusty 3.0 ice melting Subaru this evening and reluctant to spend £130 on shell for a full tank of VPower, I am pretty sure it would be close to that. Had 80 miles remaining according to the on board monitor, so add about 40 miles to that with fuel reserve so roughly 100 ish miles or just enough to get to Costco Southampton where I filled up on 97RON for £98.29, 58.89L so had around 6L left i think but playing a very fine game - which I wouldnt normally do but I have had the car so long I know what the full range is, even driving fairly lively.

They are divorced, she couldnt live with his dishonourable dealings any longer, including to Jeffrey Epstein. Melinda Gates Says Bill Gates's Work with “Abhorrent” Jeffrey Epstein Led to Divorce He is milking it from his shares in various bio medical companies Billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates has invested €15 million in the biotechnology company Univercells, based in Gosselies near Charleroi. This is the fourth time Gates has put money into the company, which has developed a sort of miniature production line capable of turning out large volumes of vaccines at low cost. Seemingly able to predict a global outbreak also like he did in 2019 - he is also best mates with Dr Fauci, who is just as bad - Fauci said you can get AIDS back in the 80s by being in proximitgy to a carrier.

There is a difference between felling trees in the amazon and other eco systems, dumping crap into oceans and the general gluttonous nature of society that is contribution to the downfall of the planet and coercing people to buy electric cars. you can solve all the previous issues without having electric cars -- right? Heck even better solve all them problems and get the 20 companies spewing out a third of greenhouse gases to go green – now that would be an excellent way to reduce global warming. Governments want people to get electric cars because in 2030 they will not be analog cars anymore, they will be all digital and its far easier to control and manipulate a digital device, you are seeing it everywhere. the world is going digital, even new stamps will be digital. Either that or Governments are deluded and can somehow pluck billions of lithium batteries from trees and get solar panels covering the planet to charge them up for free – thus negating for eco damage for all the EV cars getting manufactured.

Yes, because all Tory's are most decent people right? like my local one - who has been doing by elections in southend on sea, Birmingham and other far flung fields hundreds of miles from his own constituency - to keep the votes flowing and Boris in power. He wont miss photo shoots for his contributions to the local town however. They are all rotten, if you think they are on your side.. thats entirely your decision

It’s pretty obvious to anyone with a brain that the covid data, most of it by all accounts frivolous nonsense has been done by large sums of money exchanging hands, come on - Boris having benders every weekend while everyone was in lockdown - the reason I am mention this and dragging this off topic is relating to what I said in an earlier post -- I don’t trust Governments and if you do well good on you but everyone had been hoodwinked by covid, Governments have shown how easy it is to manipulate people getting them to wear masks and isolate and take tests and get multiple jabs of god knows what while the ministers themselves go about exchanging large sums of money with pharmaceutical agencies and having parties and in the process dumping about half a billion pounds in the drain. It would be funny if I was joking right.? They are using this manipulation to get people to buy EVs also, because I for one - having extensive work history in the field in Electronics and dealing with lithium batteries cannot see any benefit for moving to a EV society- at all. They say zero emissions. whoopy whooop, seemingly forgetting the resources needed to make and charge them up. Plus, combustion cars itself are not that much of an issue with greenhouse gases -- do you concur? In the UK they contribute a 'net' zero percent to global greenhouse gases... see what I did there. 20 companies or so are responsible for over a third of global greenhouse gases – governments won’t touch them however – we all know why. Instead, they heckle the people reading this to get heat pumps and electric cars to save the world. Modern petrol cars are more than clean enough to not warrant getting them decommissioned. There is no climate crisis, only whatever one is spoon fed into peoples brains and people like you buying into it, Its easy to fall for it but smart people question it Propaganda its called. as they are with climate chgange -
