    SLK complications

    Sean, I have recommend 3 MG’s to family members one now at 105k and is running beautifully. The latest has about 3k, and is one of the 1.3L turbo’s. They are very well built, quite solid as the plant is all automated. Similar to the Mini plant in England. They are all 5 star ANCAP as well...

    Volvo (truck) hydrogen fuel cell

    Great question Mark. The main polluter on earth at present is shipping. The global shipping (not including Naval vessels) fleet age on average is over 25 years old. They typically burn low grade fuel oil (which is so thick it needs to be heated to use) and is extremely high in sulphur and...

    MG Hybrids?

    Just so we are on the same page Mark. MG don’t do hybrids, (internal combustion engine connected to the drive wheels with electric assist) they do EV’S (battery only, with motors doing the drive at the wheels) The other one to consider is a PHEV or Plug In Hybrid Electric Vehicle. This uses...

    My W126 380SE

    I don’t mind them either Michel. The chap who bought my 560SEL has fitted a set, which don’t look too bad at all.

    Tyres

    A great result Michel. I once got 80,000 from a set of Yokohama factory OEM tyres on my last company X Trail.

    Interesting Brian, I would like to see a longevity / wear test between these makes. Can you fit four different brands for us on the ML test mule? :ROFLMAO:

    Tyres

    For a great match of longevity and on par performance, you can’t go past a Japanese made Bridgestone or Yokohama. All ratings and restrictions are exactly the same as Euro tyres with 10 times as much. The true stand alone tyre is from the Bugatti Veyron. $30k USD each, but you get a free...

    The new ML

    You do love your full size spares Brian, I commend you on this. This looks great, But you still need to turn the wheel over and get that dirt off I have indicated for you :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    The new ML

    Oh my god Brian. That’s horrible. If you use it on the garden, please don’t grow any food in it :oops:

    Tyres

    It seems it’s easy to put the word discount in any sentence Brian. It’s the same as some other brands offer four tyres for the price of three. However, the three tyres are frightfully expensive.

    Volvo (truck) hydrogen fuel cell

    Quite revolutionary to be honest Bryce. The fridge or freezer unit is the big white and black unit on the front. 200L of fuel, it’s tank, brackets lines etc I would guess would be around 300kg. The manufacture tells me the combined weight of the generator, the Li battery and it’s wiring add...

    Gents, Further more to new tech to reduce global warming etc, I think you may find the following of interest. Woolworths Group is trialling an innovative new ‘e-axle trailer’ which uses kinetic energy from its own axle and wheels to generate electricity. In an Australian first, it has been...
