  1. Well said Mjit, you beat me to it. I agree that there is a cycle to the heating and cooling of the earth, but the point is that this cycle time is shortening. The biggest difference being the human impact on the environment. We humans have only be around on earth for 200,000 years, but really only 2000/3000 years where we developed towards modern standards, starting with the bronze and iron age. Graham
  2. So again to reduce pollution ban all fossil fuels transport, as you say public transport is good and low per capita personnel transport usage,you will not miss them. This point confirms my statement that London has made itself the centre of the UK, more capacity and reduced travel time. Unless Londoner are migrating out of London to the north of the UK, which I am not sure is happening in large numbers. Anyway HS2 was promoted as extra capacity and quicker travel times to London to us above the River Trent.
  3. PeteH, can you explain why we are getting warmer winters and summers than we use to get? Graham
  4. Ps also sold burning stovesπŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
  5. Mjit, the problem with London is that they have become the centre of the country so attract the largest population, service industries, etc hence high use of personnel transport. I do believe the most capital per head for public transport is spent in London than anywhere in the country which does not seem to work in reducing your pollution at present. HS2 confirmed the idea that everything revolved around London, as the project always reference reduced times to get to London. An answer would be to decentralize of what goes on in London, for example my son had to drive from Nottingham to Heathrow so his girl friend could catch a flight to see her parents, so you have to pollution of the car trip and going into London. Train transport in Nottingham is poor, talk of electrification (East coast line) has been on the books for decades, but each government spends elsewhere. HS2 money has not been allocated for this and now suggesting we will have to wait until 2030. If the government developed a better transport systems that served the population and not feed London then pollution in London may drop. The only true solution to reducing pollution in London is to stop the use of all fossil fuel transport full stop, only too happy for Londoners to do this. Graham
  6. My son travelled to Heathrow from Nottingham and had to pay Β£17 for the pleasure of travelling a short distance in the ULEZ. He said it was to get to the drop off point. Driving a Disco 3 hopefully be kept the revs high to get his money's worth of polluting the atmosphere, need to get your money's worth. What a con!! Graham
  7. If your trunnions are full of grease this may be the answer to your stiff steer at full lock. The grease has gone solid and wearing the trunnions. End of the day you are replacing them and no understand why we use EP 90 not grease. Oooh that lovely topic again. Just need reference to the oil by pass to the head, to bring JohnD in. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Graham
  8. Oooh JohnO I would have given JohnD the prize for a most comprehensive answer, considering the shortness of your question? πŸ˜€ πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Graham

    Air intake

    On no there is a stronger force act work. Beware of the KevinR. Now we can have two threads drifts, parallel dimensions. Graham

    Ooh magic powers, the force is strong in this one. Graham

    Thread drift, how do you actually delete a complete thread? Amazing! Graham
  12. I saw Peter L's reference to smooth pipes and John's reference to turbulence, this made me think. The original pipes were corrugated and must have formed some turbulence in the air flow,so I would think cause the air to slow, reduce volume per time, while smooth pipe would allow a quicker flow and larger volume per time. Any thoughts people on this or am I just over complicating the matter considering the short length of pipe? I do believe I read somewhere that turbulent air is better for carbs, which would suggest corrugated pipes were better. Over thinking Graham.
  13. A very nice car, a credit to you and your hard work. Graham
  14. Thank you, I was searching the web for an 1 he trying to find the silicone one. Found it sometime ago and held the page open but deleted it. Now could not find itπŸ˜€ Graham
  15. I have electric fan with a capillary sensor and I believe you can buy an adapter to fit inside the house which allows the sensor to fit without causing leaks. I can't find a supplier. Anyone know of a supplier of these adapters? Graham
