    I will check the tyre for even wear at 6 months and adjust, if necessary.

    Although Uncle Xi is knowledgeable on many topics, I am reluctant to make a guess.

    His busy daily agenda does not include, surprisingly: (Collective Motoring Knowledge)

    "Collective Motoring Knowledge
    ", it being quite a Socialist title, eh?.

    But I, with trepidation, suspect he would agree with my advice:

    "Check your tyre manufacturer's website."

    Alternatively, another Chinese leader who wrote the acclaimed, "Little Red Book". Advised his people to, “learn from Comrade Lei Feng!”.

    They all may have/had a Russian doll or two.

    Why not to ask another Uncle, he surely knows:

    Biden mocked for claiming he ‘used to drive’ an 18-wheeler truck

    Collective Motoring Knowledge-biden-trucking-jpg


    "I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man," President Biden said while visiting a Mack Truck facility.

    Career politician President Biden is being mocked for claiming he used to drive an 18-wheeler truck — with the White House only able to show he was once a passenger in one.

    The 48-year political veteran made the claim while visiting a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania on Wednesday.

    “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” the 78-year-old commander-in-chief told staff, video of the exchange shows — with him clarifying that he “got to” drive one.

    Plenty of spares available for Toyota/Honda in Asian markets.

    Having said that, I bought an older Peugeot 206 here in Bali about 6 months ago. So far no parts problems. It has been very cheap to run and insure, and 1.4l engine and auto box are ideal for local conditions. Plenty of zip when roads are quiet like now, but no struggles when it gets busy again.

    Good tip about cable jumping a flat battery ... learned something there. @ the 1 min mark.



    Never thought to turn the charging vehicle's motor off when starting the flat battery car.

    Did you know... there is a point to these annoying things. I thought they were just a cheaper version of a clamp (and you probably did too if you are honest) See the youtube link below

    GM vehicles are infamous for melting their headlight plugs. You change your dead bulb but the light still goes out sometimes. You have to choice but to splice the wiring harness on the vehicle and attach a new plug. Automotive soldering is always a baglicker. Unless you do it regularly.

    Anyway my GM truck had this exact problem. I was not thrilled about splicing. But I broke the bank and purchased some of these butt connectors that have solder built into them. They cost 20 bucks for 5 connectors. But this way, you get a professional connection. I finished the job and I can say that it was money well spent. No mickey mouse crimping and tape.

    Why do you think crimping is Mickey Mouse? For multi-strand wires, I prefer crimped joints (with the correct crimp tools) as there is no chance of a dry joint and they handle vibration better.

    You are talking to backspin/skiddy/socalled. He is an idiot, and you will not get an intelligent response.

    I do my fair share of crimp connections still. But they are frowned upon in general.

    Basic retail crimp tools are pretty bad.

    Agreed, the tools have to be good quality and are generally expensive. They have to be ratchet type with automatic release once crimp is finished.

    Crimps using cheap tools, especially the plier grip, non-ratchet style are definitely frowned upon. However, with the right tool, crimp joints are more consistent than solder joints especially in tight spaces or out in the cold.
