Back in 2019, or maybe even earlier, you didn't have to dig too deep to realise that there were concerns (and at another point of the 'Yorkshire Triangle' - I believe that one's coming up before the beak shortly) - the above, and certain Club linkups all added to give a false air of respectability. Very very sad!

I presume this is now ok to discuss seeing as he's been found guilty? Put me back on the naughty step if for some reason we can't....he has been found guilty so unlikely to have grounds to sue! Bob Malton Porsche dealer jailed for defrauding customers of £1.5m - BBC News

IB Oil Tank Hands Free Funnel - 3d printed solution

Yes, I have one and it's a very clever idea. I'll take another couple (red and white) if available....do you want me to order through the ebay site? Bob -
From local news..... Two dozen electric vehicles have been destroyed in a fire at a car dealership near Marseille. Almost 50 firefighters attended the blaze in the parking lot of the Tesla dealer in Pennes-Mirabeau I catch a ferry regularly. I notice electric cars on Brittany Ferries are given a sticker for the windscreen - I really don't fancy being on board if one of these starts smoking. I'm sure someone will say petrol catches fire too, you know? However, they do seem a pig to put out once alight.

Couldn't agree more, but wanted Bosch (rightly or wrongly) so in this instance didn't have a choice.

I did a roadtrip to Portugal this summer again(empty roads, no speed cameras) and there its 98 E10, 95 E5 as well. I use this Safeguard™ Ethanol Fuel Conditioner With Stabilizers « Lucas Oil Products, Inc. recommended to me by the other Bob (@swift911)....guess that makes it a 2 Bob recommendation.

Yep, agree with Chris....live remap via Wayne is the way to go.

That makes good sense. It'll all be worth it in the end!

I appreciate you're understandably trying to save every penny possible on this bad news, but I have to agree with @sopor above. You need some security on this and Ivan is well known on here. I'm presuming you can't say that re the American seller? Maybe pause and just re-check with Ivan that he can get this all together for you? He's surely a safer bet, which I'd say is worth the extra.

Classic Le Mans by bump start
RivieraBob replied to ChesterJLampwick's topic in Euro Road Trips and Tours
I used to have to do that fairly regularly until I had my flywheel changed on a gearbox rebuild. Certainly made people stare in ferry queues etc. I was told that an engine tends to stop always at the same point on the flywheel and the teeth wear at that position, so rocking in gear engages the starter better at that point. I'm sure someone with more brains will be able to explain better, but my original flywheel had significant wear in one area so maybe for once I'm not talking complete b*ll*cks. Bob -
Yes, I like to pop by and see what he's working on......but the car was in the UK making the most of the UK's more pleasant weather compared to the Cote d'Azur (that's not a statement I ever thought I'd write!) as it hit 40 degrees down there, with night time not going below 25.

Thanks for that Anil....I've ordered a couple (sorry Matt, you've missed out this time but I'm sure won't be long before I'm back for something)

I originally thought it could be both but I did a test. Disconnecting the middle sensor the engine won't start but if already running it continues to run. I presume this is the reference sensor and therefore only needed to fire up. Disconnecting the bottom sensor (speed?) cuts the running engine immediately. As I've recently had an intermittent non start (but never a shutdown whilst running) it points to the middle one. If it isn't the wires loom side or loom side connectors then I'll still change both, but thought worth mentioning which one does which as there's a bit of internet misinformation I think.
