Not quite sure what the purposes of those bands are for. They are like that on every 1.5DCi engine. Maybe to stop the hose collapsing under compression when the engine moves? Typically that hose would connect to the front mounted intercooler, but on this later 'BlueDCi' it has a block-mounted...

Unless US phones are different, the iPhone 15 Pro sold here in the UK is advertised as having dual sim functionality with a Micro SIM slot and eSIM.

We are having similar issues in this country. We have immigrants that are travelling across Europe through perfectly safe countries to the UK just because we are a soft touch and will house them and give them £1,600 every month in benefits. Meanwhile affordable housing is non existent, our...

Wish we could get M1 that cheap over here! M1 ESP X3 0w40 is about 75 USD (at todays exchange rate) over here for 5 litres.

You sure? I've not long got an iPhone 15 (and I hate it, but that's another story) and it's got a sim tray?

Just wanted to add. Gearchange has had a nice improvement. Feels quite slick and light compared to usual. Also on down changes the gearbox baulks a lot less and you can select the lower gear faster. Don't know if that means the new lubricant is better or if the old lubricant had started to...

Because that money has a value behind it, usually a gold reserve. If you print more money the existing moneys value becomes less. I.e. you're diluting the dollar. I'm a capitalist through and through. But you have to have socialist policies to ensure people don't end up on the street or starve...

You could probably pick up a filter for what… €5? Replace the filter and change the oil with your old oil. Going to be better than running what’s in it.

Absolutely the way to go! My Wife and I (both 31 now) moved out of our parents homes and bought our first home 10 years ago when we were 21. Ever since it's been finance after finance after finance. We've never missed a payment on anything and we've had some really nice cars etc! But seeing 1/4...

Kind of agree with you. I don't get through much fuel in my OPE. I buy enough E10 every Spring to last a season (usually 3-4 litres) and treat with Stabil. Even after a long wet winter every single piece of OPE started on first pull last weekend on the previous years fuel still in the tanks.

Answers are out there if you google about the 1.0 Ecoboost. The timing belts are disintegrating prematurely and blocking up the strainer on the oil inlet and starving the engine. Usually on strip down it is found that numerous teeth are missing. I believe they’re having the same issues with...

I swapped out the air filter, the old one looked really good for 30,000miles! Gave the front wheels a good wash while they were off... And then gave the car a quick freshen up considering it hasn't been washed this side of Christmas! I've left the pollen filter for the moment. I...

I started with the transfer box. Oil drained first and it was remarkably clean, I expected worse. Especially considering what I've thrown at this thing over the last 18 months or so and with a tiny 400ml oil capacity. I then whipped up this contraption and installed 400ml of Millers Oils MTF...

So while driving back from Bristol yesterday the car hit 30,000miles. 30,000miles (or 4 years) is the 'big service' time. Dacia calls for the following at this service... -Engine Oil & Filter -Air Filter -Fuel Filter -Pollen Filter I decided to add into this the driveline lubricants as the...

These engines are so under stressed I don’t think that it will ever truly fail. The car will fall to bits around it! The engine that spawned the 1.5 BlueDCi in my 2022 Dacia Duster!

Where I've been able to, whenever we've bought a petrol powered car, if there was a port injected model I've always made sure we purchase that instead :ROFLMAO:

My Father found the old service book for his '91 Fiesta XR2i that subsequently got stolen. Back in 1991 they were recommending 12k/1 year intervals!

Some more to add... I took the car out last night to fuel it for my Wife. There's now 800miles or so on the clock and the engine is most certainly 'bedding in'. I haven't driven it since it had sub 100miles on the clock. It feels like it's gained a bit of low end power and fuel economy has...

That also crossed my mind. Although the car was delivered fresh from the factory and wasn't stored anywhere. Maybe they put 47psi in them from factory? Either way, someone didn't do their job properly at the dealer. The gearshift quality is okay, certainly not offensive. The gearchanges in the...

It was new car time for my Wife (again) after a strange 12 months of car swapping. She had a 2017 Dacia Logan MCV 1.5DCi for 2 years or so but decided in Spring 2023 that the Logan wasn't 'cool' enough and bought a 2015 Mini Cooper instead. The Mini was an awesome car, but very quickly my Wife...
