    A specific book I sourced, ordered & it finally arrived today! Looking forward to readIng it cover to cover. Even this edition was published many, many years ago but the science still remains the same. Just checking I haven’t missed something before I forge ahead! Washing down the engine for the...

    Sphere longevity

    Apparently the EPC says 126 320 1315 is a replacement for 0115 and 0515. 126 320 0715 are the current high pressure cells. Lemforder appear to be NLA & Febi Bilstein are the only ones available apart from far more expensive genuine ones. It may be that the genuine ones are similar to the old...

    6.9 #6486

    Funny a friend asked me about this one the other day on behalf of an interested buyer. It looks good from a distance, but some of the niggles would raise questions about the quality of maintenance & repairs on this one.

    Volvo (truck) hydrogen fuel cell

    The big question is what can be done with ships & aircraft? I can see hydrogen fuel cells on a very large scale being fitting within a ship, however aircraft pose a more difficult challenge. And I’d imagine the aviation industry is responsible for a substantial amount of air pollution.

    Suggestions for a daily replacement

    I do like the GL but it’s more of a truck & harder to park. Diesel prices are still very high compared to petrol. Seems the reduction in gov excise didn’t apply to diesel?? And it appears like Europe are moving away from diesels in passenger vehicles so their future is a little uncertain? Plus...
