You are correct Ford have a patent on the quick clear tech. premium brands such as Bentley and RR pay a licence fee for use.

Duvel Belgian beer for me.

On the other side of the scale i have a Nokia C 135 it cost me £16 4 years ago it is not smart.It replaced my 15 year old Motorola when the keypad wore out.

I also use a track pump works quite well,I have a spacesaver tyre it takes a bit more effort as it rates at 4.2 bar.

I've had this issue and in the morning i discovered a moth hiding behind the sun visor maybe worth checking?

I had my tpms replaced 3 years ago as the batteries had packed in. I use a local mobile tyre fitter who cloned the originals the replacement sensors are Autel units and have been fine since then.

I have just received a letter from LV stating that they will not provide cover from now on for the CT.

I once had a Alfasud 1.5 ti which was good to drive,handled well and had a tuneful exhaust note. On a whim i later bought a Pontiac Firebird,like Kitt from Knight Rider it was really quick in a straight line and handled reasonably except when it was wet.

In the early eighties my dad owned one of these it had beige seats and a fake wooden dash,i passed my test in that car.

As above both ends of the blind are spring loaded and fit into a recess on both sides it is a bit tricky to master at first. My method is to push one side into its recess then pull the spring end only on the other side and take the unit out at an angle.

My Dad once owned a Green Vauxhall Victor which had a matching interior of carpets,seats,dash and steering wheel.

I've found GT85 works quite well.

During the winter of 2021 my mpg dropped to 41 from the summer where it was 52.I also found the car was slightly sluggish,so in 2022 i started using E5 petrol again the car felt more peppy with the added bonus the mpg has stood at 55 ever since.

I previously worked at a silicon wafer plant where as stated above any employee could make a suggestion for improvements in the process.It was called the Kaizen scheme there was rewards offered if accepted. Many years ago i was told a story about match makers wishing to save money on sandpaper costs used to strike the match,an employee said he could half the cost the boss called his bluff the answer was to put sand paper on one side of the box instead of both.

I've recently started using yellow tint safety glasses at night i find they reduced the headlight glare quite well. As a plus point they cost me about £2 from screwfix.
