180 DSG on 45K miles, 3 yrs for me with no problems.
180 DSG 4wd with superchips 220bhp on 60K, 8 yrs with no problems for my dad.

Look up egr breaking up and ending up needing a new engine..

Just returned to the uk forca couple of days after two months of no rain, now heavy rain and snow… Enjoy

We have a slot if you Fancy riding from Sospel to Molini (italy) then the med…

Molini shuttles, not ski lifts, but some of the best natural and hand cut trails you will ever ride

Sospel is not that great with a DH bike bar a few trails…. Sanremo is ace for DH, we cater for many DH teams there.

Nava has a handful and so has Molini and Diano marina is also good fun

All these locations are just 30 mins from our base near Sanremo.

There is much much more to liguria than Finale

Drop me a line if you want more info

I think this is good news LBS’s? You can try in store, unless the shop becomes the changing room for online purchases

A friend of mine has just built up a alloy bronson with top end suspension and wheels…. In his opinion it rides way better than the same cost carbon version.

I have an alloy geometron.. dt wheels and fox’s best…. It’s my forever bike..

I wish they did an extra show (like topgear did) showing more of the car resto process

Lost to a majority of 230!!! Bloody ell

Whaaaaaaaat….

But the SAS stands for super army soldiers tho right?

Look up sentiero Italia, lots of roads and gravel ideal route to follow follows the spines of the Alps, appenines etc…

Also look up torino – nice event, would be a great start, then across liguria (Alta via) then you have the appuane and appenine mountain ranges… From there on I don’t know the area… But its on my bucket list…

A t5 shuttle can vebhad for that money, no need to insulate and removable seats, cheaper to insure and car speec limits, cheaper tunnel/ferry and toll crossings too

Turning 46 in a couple of months, and at my fastest and fitest both on the mtb and road bike in very long time.

One of the main things that helped this is ebikes, I have one, I ride it up  trails* and its like doing intervals, but technical and fun. I also had chainsaws and digging tools on my back which made it interesting.

And embrace age, enjoy your surroundings, road biking I love for this, my avg speeds are all over the place, but I don’t care…

If you’re not there in your head, you wont be in body

*Don’t worry ebike haters these are trails we have opened and dont see any other traffic…

Or try Molini, just 30 mins inland from Sanremo, Liguria, but none of the coastal heat..

Take a mobile phone… After three years of normal use, the talk and standby time is, what, half its initial one? Is there data on long term use of EV cars to show how well they retain the capacity to travel

There are teslas in the US with 200k miles with average battery degragation of 6% ICE cars would be in the scrapheap by then

Constantly…. But it always gets me into the situation.

Really wet and thunderstorms in the region for the next couple of weeks at least, I use a hillbilly for the front. Plenty of rocks about so something stronger like a dd maxxis on the back…

Looks like labour have confirmed they will stay in the custom’s union and a likely Tory, snp, libs and labour union against a hard brexit….

There are cheaper on ebay

We just got an an suite fitted, we supplied the floorcand wall tiles, shower, sink, toilet units, shower mixer, doors.

There were some issues where things wouldnt fit and he had to build a stud wall off the main wall as the shower mixer was too deep.

It took him 7 days instead of 5.

Cost us 1500 quid plus 300 for his materials (paint, grout, plaster board, etc) and thiscwas in Surrey.

His wife helped with grouting painting etc.

So 2600 seems excessive

Transporter T5 had it for 6 years and now on 275k miles.

List of things done it would be longer than the EU thread

Has someone intergated a gearbox with an electric motor yet?

That would be awesome on an ebike

I nearly cut my knee in half, got away woth only some stitches… Treat it with respect

Have you been watching family guy?

Beautiful country, I was expecting ex soviet style building, but it was like Austria, lots of flowers in windows, immaculate lawns etc.. cheap beer too, and the coffee was ace

Nice

I bought some osrams for my vw t5 both failed within 5 months, went back to cheap cinese and have had no probs in 2 years

How many cars would have the same underwriter though? I guess there are only a handful?

This Italian brand is doing it forir me at the mo

Steilbel

Common shimano problem, warranty job even if out..

Got a dual sim G5S plus for 200 euros, great phone for the money..

Kenwood have some sweet double din units with android or apple auto. Mirtors your phone and great fir phone spotify and google maps

Long mynd? Ace natural singletrack of 3km plus and just an hour or so away

Take a look at chapaking’s blog up there ^^^ yoshimi

walking into a Welsh pub, with people talking in English, and then switching to Welsh when they heard my accent.

Cazzo

One of the few cases where it’s quite clear Volvo should be paying 100% imo.

I have a friend whose just out of warranty vw 180 bitdi engine needing replacement, VW told him to get lost.

On those grounds 80% seems reasonable

If the car is worth it and ge is goin to keep it, then that is a reasonably good offer, just over a k for a new engine…
