If Mike was any kind of a TRUE friend to Edd, then he would leave the show with him. But it just shows what his character is really like.

What the actual f***! friends don't let friends sacrifice their careers for them. What kind of welfare state do you live in where that's an option?

It sounds like you have a kink in the liner that's causing the wire to feed inconsistently. Either that or you're not using the right sized drive wheels.

Are you sure that the issue is in the brakes and not worn steering components? Your braking at certain speeds could create vibration at the wheel from worn pitman arms, tie rods, ball joints etc that may not show up while going down the road.

Newer chargers with microprocessors do not like completely dead batteries. If you have one with a timer, charge it at 10 amps for a while so that it has some charge and then switch to an automatic charger.

I don't get how the Jaguar mentioned would have had to have original parts sourced and replaced when the LPG kit was removed, unless that car had no facility to run on petrol, but then wouldn't it have been a PITA to start? Yep, it was all removed when the conversion was done including the tanks, c...

Considering the title and enquiry is about 'cleaner emissions'. If the car is standard petrol or diesel, the surely you need to be looking at adding LPG. As in the USA they run LPG in with the diesel to give a cleaner burn & makes it more efficient. But unlike diesel powered vehicles, petrol powere...
