Re: Another Broken Spring - Pothole Advise

I am not surprised.

Go spray a massive cock around it and see how fast it gets repaired lol.

Have you seen the guy going around with soil and plants and planting them in potholes? Legend lol.

Re: What Do You All Want?

App is problematic. I will research any premade stuff that is also free, but forums have minimal support these days.

I did look at making my own, but PHPBB has now API, so would just be a wrapper, which does not help with things like push notifications etc. The forum is mobile adaptive these days ...

What Do You All Want?

Right you lot.

I started this back up again coz I am bored of social media and wanted a more open space. But, I want to know what you guys want from the forum in 2025.

Shit has changed, forum are harder to use and more time consuming. So, what would make it easier for you all to use and post on ...

Re: Another Broken Spring - Pothole Advise

Haha, fuck sake, Had a feeling that might be the case.

I guess I'll throw more springs on and suck it up.

Another Broken Spring - Pothole Advise

Hello all,

Anyone got any advise on trying to claim for repairs to suspension due to potholes?

I have a mid 00's Passat that's snapped a spring. This is the third car in a row (granted, they've all been shitters) that I've had to repair suspension on.

And it's about time I tried to get the ...

Re: Hybrid BMW M5 - Chris Harris Review

Smith and who? Will have to have a listen. I find it really hard to find any good car podcasts. Maybe I should start a thread on here for Podcast suggestions and sticky it?

Re: Hybrid BMW M5 - Chris Harris Review

I know what you mean. I cannot see how that much weight is not noticeable in the corners, though I guess all new sports cars have super smart suspension that might counteract it?

I used to love Chris Harris, though I read his book and he comes across as a bit of a rich boy in it (even though he ...

Re: Electric Car Thoughs?

I was thinking more any future issues with software, sensors, programming etc.

Which make me think, what happens when you buy a newer car run by 500 ECUs, and the company stops supporting or stops updating the software?
With everything being updatable over the internet, surely all car ...

Re: Electric Car Thoughs?

Good point on the second hand market.

I do wander what maintenance costs outside of warranty will look like. There are some examples of some super high mileage Tesla's, but no mention as to what the overall cost of running was (200k with no battery replacement).

Not that I'd buy a Tesla.
