Yeah, something like 2K just for the core battery on a 10 year old prius and that doesn't include rlabour, freight or core charge outs and time that the car is off the road. Some of the EV's run...

The other issue with EV and our roads is the vibration on the traction motors - any insulation failure results in heat tracking which eventually causes the TM to go by-by. You get a red light on the...

Dunno about rubber belts, last one I saw in pieces had a nifty linked - well, I guess it's a belt but made of steel sections that are locked together. Absolutely zero stretch in the thing, really...

Britain they have a marine fuel that is one colour, a farm fuel thats another and the road is a different one again. Heaven help you if you get caught with the wrong colour in the wrong tank... ...

Moore and Wright is an old time brand from the UK. Good gear. As far as brands, Mitutoyo, Starrett, Moore and Wright are all up there with the best. There are some others that are specialists in...

Interesting thing with the 2013 ranger I have - currently running 8.5L/100Km reported on the display, and it's reasonably close to what I work out on the receipts. That's .4 higher than factory and...
