Any question answered...

Wonder if weight is the issue.

Usually trailing arm bearings starting to fail then take the torsion bar with it.

Think the designs changed on different shapes

P1 is 1560cc & P2 is 88kw so looks to be ok from P1 value. Thanks & likewise @lynx too.

Yes, M49/M59 had independent trailing arms with torsion bar springs. They were the best for ride and handling. B9 & K9 have a torsion beam with coil springs.

You weren't lying when you said "very short term"! Yeah, that sounds like way less hassle.

I wonder if the cooling off policy still applies if you were to pay monthly?

It does, I did it when I was selling my car and the insurance just ran out. I just had to pay the admin fee. Think it was a tenner.

I got it down to £22 on cuvva, just been told someone will drive it over instead of me collecting so all for nowt but lucky I hadn't paid.

It's being moved to be stored for a short while ahead of me driving it to MCR when the time is right...

What does “shrug emoji followed by male symbol emoji” mean?

🤷‍♂️

It’s an emoji of a man shrugging. Receiving system doesn’t have it in it’s repertoire so it displays a ‘generic shrug’ and male symbol.

Eccentric bottom brackets: is there one that fits into a standard English threaded bb shell or are they only for oversized bb30 type frames?

What is the best speech to text app? My wife is looking for one that is accurate and fast. She uses an iPhone but a pc for laptop and desktop and is willing to pay for a decent service.

Do you mean something like the software from nuance (ex dragon dictate)?

Possibly but I come at this with zero knowledge🤣

I used Dragon to dictate my PhD and have used the medical version, not for a while now. Just checked and it appears that Nuance /Dragon have been taken over by Microsoft.

I guess it's all now badged as a Microsoft product with a different name...

What should I replace these cheap wheels with? Was thinking of something like Fulcrum Wind 40C.

why does everyone rave about acv and not wine vinegar? Is it just because Americans don't grow grapes?

I just had a look and they are #5 in the world vs the UK at #84
