A mate of mine, who is as tight as a ducks arse, got a K2 Plus, and we have shown you can peel off the RFID tags from a empty Creality reel and put on another without damage virtually 100% of the time, and reprogram.

They might not stick perfectly, but a bit of sellotape over them sorts that.

So far then...

2 knackered tyres
Aircon inop
Osr tail light out
Number plate lights out
Fuel gauge inop
Radio inop
Absolutely minging inside
Some cosmetic issues
Bodged wiring for said shin breaker
Interior light burnt out. Literally.
Auto lights not working (see above).
Surging at low speeds.
Stretched transfer box chain - replace chain and fluid/ possibly replace transfer case fitted with new chain
Service engine
Service gearbox
Change diff fluids
Front end vibration 65-80: tyre rebalance?
Crap headlights... New bulbs or xenon retrofit...

Whilst it's still somewhat cosmetically challenged, particularly on the outside, all the missing/broken trim has been replaced and I will give the troublesome bits a blast with the steamer to try and get the last of them of the rear seat back rest and door trims.

It's booked in for the gearbox service and oil cooler lines and I will have them throw in the rebuilt transfer case as I don't have enough time off to chance the weather being decent enough to do it on the drive.

Crappy headlights were sorted with a fresh pair of bulbs, so that's a nice easy fix.

Well done for getting stuck in

It should run considerably better all cleaned up as well

Ordered the last few bits and pieces to finish up the ML prior to selling it.

It'll get another oil change and fresh MoT in order to give the new owner a fighting chance with it.

It's a combination of greed and media driven self fulfilment.

Filled up TPC in Crawley at £1.32 today. Filled the car a couple of days before it all kicked off at £1.24.

Previously tanks were, most recent first... £1.25, £1.27, £1.31 and £1.34.

I try to limit my commute to 4 or 5 times a month. But have also been using the ML. Think my last fill of that, perhaps a day after it kicked off was £1.42 for diseasal. Have paid over £1.45 previously.

The economy of the diesel isn't enough to offset the cost of ULEZ so there's little benefit from running it unless conditions are bad.

Back on topic, it's interesting to see how my industry has adapted. We're currently running a bus service to/from Thailand and Oman as alternatives to our regular Middle East routes just to keep people moving.

Because that drop is due to intervention?

People are still consuming but there is a drop in production. A week or two more war no problem, prolonged then what? Start buying from Russia as though Ukraine never happened?

Trump is going to China in a few weeks. No doubt to sell US oil to China to replace the Iranian oil ….

Brent crude just opened at $101.25

After climbing to circa $118, it's back down to $99.18

Now $90. What's all the fuss about?

It will be replacing the C1.Believe it or not I will genuinely miss that little car.
I can drive it absolutely flat out like a complete hooligan and not get into too much trouble. 

Ive got a Leaf, so I dont care.

Porsche Boxster to Nissan Leaf in such a short time. 

They say variety is the spice of life.

Given the option I prefer the Leaf to the 'Toyota Pious'....
