Who's the vendor?

Well I've cast my bet. I call it that because either way it's a shot in the dark.

Chin up. I'm sure it's one of those where you have to take a step back and suddenly the penny drops.

Generally that's true. However driving in places like Paris and Lyon is hell, it's like India. There are literally no rules, double, triple parking, nudging cars with yours to get In spaces the driving standard is beyond bad it's down right scarey. When they all go down south for their holidays that driving goes with them. Compare where my parents live in rural northern France to Lyon and it's like two different countries. I literally wouldn't dare take any car to Lyon as it would come back recked, they have zero respect for other people's cars or their own.

You regularly see people with the mirrors folded in, tells its own story lol.

The most credible reason to retain said current limit is actually pollution. I'm a self confessed climate change skeptic. Going faster equals more pollution, both in terms of noise and emissions regardless on there short or long term effects.

It is, which is why I don't say "speeding should be legal" merely that the current logics and prosecution there after are unbalanced to the "offence".

Agreed steve. My driver awareness corse was the biggest misuse of statistics (a traffic officer agreed with me on that one). The highlight was when he exclaimed that the most dangerous roads in Dorset are 30mph limits, his reasoning, there's where most accidents happen. The safest roads where, motorways. I asked him where most people were seriously injured or killed, national speed limit A roads. "So to me that would suggest that 30mph zones skew the stats due to fender benders and minor accidents, surely where most people die is the most dangerous." I said. He didn't like that much. I then almost fell off my chair as the bloke a few to my side announced, "of corse Dorsets motorway are the safest roads, we ain't got one mate." :lol: oh pure comedy.

I think personally there's a lot of stats out there that "prove" that speed was the cause of the accident. This may have more to do with justification of current laws. The biggest cause of accidents is lack of concentration. Speed is merely a factor that worsens the out come, it's rarely if ever the root cause. If you try and go round a tight hair pin in the wet at 40 on a national speed limit road, the result is forgone, the cause of the crash was your inability to drive to the road condition in front of you. You can drive under the limit and still be driving dangerously, road conditions and layout can help to reduce the safe speed considerably. If you can't drive in a straight at 90mph on a dry Tarmac road arguably should you have a liecense? Also I didn't say accidents at 100mph were safe. Accidents at 30mph can be disastrous in some circumstances.

And? I know you have to set a limit but currently 100mph is a license loosing speed. With modern cars and motorways there's no reason why 100mph shouldn't be perfectly safe yet it's criminal. Personally if its dry I think they should leave you alone till about 90 and 100mph should be a fine. Too heavy handed are out motor way limits. Intact, sod it. I'd like to see the offence of excessive speed scrapped. With more focus on driving to the conditions. That dick that does 70 in the snow because "Range Rover" (probably on summer tyres) could then be addressed whilst retaining the ability to book bellends doing 60 past a school. Maybe retain 30mph limits for built up areas, villages etc.

Got a map? I meant graph, dunno why I said map.

I've signed it but I doubt they will achieve anything g the government likes front plates for traffic tickets.

Sorry to hear this Art, played a similar game myself this year. Funny what people get stuck in thier head. I remember being held at the side of the road in the rain because my 1982 car didn't have side indicators and plod was convinced it required them. I didn't even get an apology for that.

I hear you. The corse cut at the beginning is scary as hell.

You going to wet sand it?

Like everything state side. http://www.wiringspecialties.com/wsprvgenwiha.html Obviously there's tax and shipping on top, just depends on what you deem worth it and how much you value your time.

What I'm saying is, a new complete loom is about £300 from wiring specialities. Which will replace the whole bay loom excluding the alternator harness as its separate. I assume your costing was just for the injector and coil pack connections? The trouble is they all suffer that's probably only half the connectors. I appricate your logic and I've considered it myself however by the time you've brought it all you might save yourself, £50? At which point for the hours it takes to remake the loom properly it's worth that for a professional job. Not trying to put your plan down just saying it's worth considering what the cost saving actually is.

Looks like prv and boost solenoid gaz, not sure what the third one is. I'd guess AIV but I thought there was only one solenoid.

It's a bit agricultural is stick. If you want to learn something then Tig is the one for fabrication work, needs clean surfaces though so not so much use on body work.

As Andrew says. Even Halfords should carry it. If your headed this way then hyphose at fleetsbridge will have it. They have virtually everything.

Ahh ok, I thought you were learning to apply it to something.

No it wasn't useful or constructed it was a bunch of winge.

The thread is pretty transparent if you read between the lines. "Turde niz" wasn't exactly subtle.

You may find that it's not finically worth while.

What you can tell from that is pretty limited. Your best of making some test pieces, butt welds etc then observing the opposing side and cutting it in half to see how the weld penetrated. What made you decide to learn stick?
