I had a 2013 Tiguan 2.0 TDI (Euro 5). I bought it 2 years ago with 60k miles. Car was great to drive with full service history and had clearly been looked after. I used it for my daily 25 mile motorway commute until I retired in May this year. Since then it was used very little with just some long holiday trips. In August the eml came on intermittently and then stayed on. The faultccode was relating to the throttle body position sensor. I removed the throttle body and found it was about 50% blocked with carbon deposits! (The throttle body is approx 50mm diameter). Further investigation showed that the inlet manifold was similarly choked. I can only think that this must have been due to too many short journeys in the car’s earlier life. Removing the carbon deposits cleared the fault but left me wondering what other surprises were around the corner.. I have since changed to petrol which now suits my needs better.

Cademuir Hill near Peebles

Thanks all for your advice, I will ask around to see if anyone has a Mac that they could let me connect the drive to. I will report back later…

We walked it in June south to north. It’s a great route although the last day is a little bit monotonous. You are out of the hills by then and there are some long stretches of paved cycle path on the run into Carlisle. I would recommend it though as an overall experience.

Worth getting a replacement s/h engine for the beetle?

Password reset does not seem to work, received reset email but it has no link in it?

Thanks all. It’s not a fast mover, but has now disappeared.

@desperatebicycle it was taken on S24 Ultra.

Great result

You can get a cheap mitre box for less than a tenner (Amazon or Toolstation etc)

He’s still 14, but moved up a category because he’s 15 this year. Quite a bit smaller than a lot of the 16 year olds….

Fantastic result, 25 seconds quicker than my lad🤣

I spot Bambi and claim £5

I retire at the end of May after 46 years continuous employment, albeit with a number of different employers. I will be 62 which is the sweet spot for my DB pension – I will only lose the additional benefits which would have been accrued if I had continued to work until 65.

I have been with my current employer for 33 years and when I joined I made the fortuitous decision to transfer in the various pensions from my previous employers in exchange for a fixed percentage of my final salary.

I can’t wait, bring it on.

This is Natalya. She is my sister. She is number four prostitute in whole of Kazakhstan.

Right turn Clyde

I have given my lawn to the badgers

Cheers OP, got a pair for my son.

I have an Ortleib Pac-Man Pro – I’ve had 3-4 years solid commuting use out of it so far. It is totally waterproof and the ideal size for a laptop and shirt/underwear/lunch etc. It is close fitting but I do not find it too sweaty.

BT, same problem as above.

Thule 775

My switch to Avro was effective from today, so I’ve already paid a month in advance to them plus British Gas (previous supplier) also took a payment this month…

+ another one for Ryanbuildswheels in Bristol, I have 2 pairs from him, they are superb.

IME cassette is worth checking, could be loose lock ring or missing spacer or just dry joint.

According to Facebook Stonethwaite campsite in Borrowdale has closed due to antisocial behaviour.

I have had issues too, ordered a pivot kit for transition bandit and eventually received one pivot only. Have tried to query it with no response. 3 weeks and counting.

Take ****

Conti explorer are good (and cheap)

I had a similar problem which turned out to be the “smart charging” feature was being activated if I switched the charger off before unplugging the cable from the light. Disconnecting the cable from the light before switching the charger off solved it. Alternatively switch the light on and off after charging clears it.

Have a look at the latest episode, especially the last couple of minutes. Flipping Heck 😳

Video – Average Man vs Englands Toughest Climb on Eurosport homepage…

I saw some of these reduced to £85 in B&Q last week

Try the Mill hotel, decent accommodation with gym and pool, and the added benefit of a lively real ale bar too.

UFO Powerkites in Weston-super-Mare are very helpful . I know they do some HQ kites.

+1 for the tunnel TomB

Aberlour 10 is £24 at Sainsbury’s at the moment. Other reductions too.

Yep, I had to pay £1.00, but only when you get near the top….

I’ve always found the Park Tools YouTube video to be a good guide.
As others have said, if the chain length was correct for a 32T then it will probably be okay with a 30T.
