The catalytic convertor is an interesting one because the later EU6 regs seem to suggest the emissions system should be compliant for 5 years/100k km (62k miles) Certainly in the US manufacturers are liable for failures up to 8yrs/ 80k miles (according to Google) Would need to read the EU regs fineprint I guess to see if manufacturers here are liable for early failures or not.

Not heard any updates recently so not sure on status but they were causing issues last year. Issue,in my opinion, is that those who visit their ideas and notions on others rarely ever have to suffer any consequences of their actions. Unfortunately we see that right across society nowadays.

@MattTheBart @CalumDouglas1 The (new) Jeep I-4 came into my mind when I saw this thread, thanks for confirming it is a similar principle of operation. I'd forgotten about the Maserati link.

@ScotRoadArchive Reckon the burgundy car in the distance (next to the Pug 405) could be a Triumph Acclaim.

@samriches86 @AOLSupportHelp Similar issues, Outlook on both Windows and Android not synching, attempts to update "app password" details failing to take on both platforms

@Ubique2078 @MarcherReborn Fair enough, though to be honest never felt the need to look at Starmer in any real detail so tabloid stuff has sort of passed me by. Will still be interesting to learn his motives or was he put up to it?

@MarkVogan @SeanBattyTV @BlanchettTweets @metoffice @RoostWeather @danholley_ @Petagna 25% near Howwood (Renfrewshire) as well. Thought it might be my lowest but see I had 21% ! in mid June 23'

@JeffreyBlacksh6 That's a new saying to me but sums it up very well!

[Peter Stewart @Pd_Stewart]

@law_scotland @PSOSRoads Belated thanks, very good evening and learned new things. I think one of the key messages to keep pushing is " you may be good but you could be better still " think about your riding, think about training, aim for better!

@SeanBattyTV Had a (brief) -8.1 at one point, suspect it might be even lower tonight, middle of day and still below zero and barometric pressure has eased up, setting up for proper deep freeze tonight?

@MarcherReborn Wonder if it's worth a punt on an IMF bail out?? ( if you know,you know....)

@HagertyUK 1998 or later. As someone else noted the Mk4 Golf didn't go on sale till late 97. Would probably take the Volvo estate, if only to see how contemporary or dated it felt.

@ScotRoadArchive Pretty stumped, I'm going to hazard a guess at M8, Bishopton/Renfrew end simply because that's an Argyle plate and they've maybe came across by ferry or down by road and that's them hitting the "big road" for the 1st time?

@hiltonholloway Ooft, their timeline makes pretty eye opening reading. Doesn't paint a great picture for Euro makers potential product longevity

[Peter Stewart @Pd_Stewart]

@MarcherReborn If you look at their history they have fallen and then revived strongly often then spending long periods in power. However looking at the present party-too much middle of the road wetness- do wonder if they are revivable, or actually worth saving at all?

@IMissHitchSlaps @Lozo2469 @MarcherReborn My last bottle was £56.50 (15kg), 205Kwh is quoted energy per bottle so equiv of 27.5p/Kwh. Reference that against what you are paying for electricity and other types of energy. Last time I looked mains gas-if you have it-was still cheapest per energy unit.

@MarkVogan See it's already been touched on but only today found myself wondering how the relative lack of heat load into the ground during the summer- esp here in the West of Scotland- would play with temps during the winter.

@WMcHBg Sadly I doubt it, most of them have a sky high regard for the sound of their own voices and the opinions therewithin
