  1. B-Quik are doing some good deals on synthetic.... https://www.b-quik.com/en/product/oil/search_car?_token=qZ4OQBEifjmcHQf0RuNC81dFiTu5la0VuiQnuIYj&carBrand=MAZDA&brand_id=11&carModel=BT-50+PRO+Di-Thunder+Pro+2.2L+New+Common-Real+FSC+V&carYear=2012&model_id=1194&grade=Synthetic&year_id=1904
  2. Where I come from, your "turn signals" are called indicators, probably because they indicate which way we are going to go....????
  3. They are not taught the fundamentals to even get a licence...And why is that, it is because those who should be teaching haven't got a clue anyway...????
  4. So you are a people watcher, everything you do in life is a wow to all the other people watchers, but ya know, that is a very strange hobby chum...????
  5. I bought the 4x4 because at the time it was the only Toyota truck with auto trans.. Plus, Toyota was the only brand truck I was going to buy, at that time... ????
  6. Perhaps, but I would have thought it was because they were robust... Which was the reason I bought one when I first came to live in LOS...☺️
  7. Just curious, what are the tyre pressures printed on the door jamb sticker, is there a loaded and unloaded figure..?
  8. Folk have got to be daft booking a holiday to a country that doesn't know what it's doing from one minute to the next...????
  9. Plug it into the mains then clip on the crocodile clips to the battery, ensuring the hood when closed doesn't touch them... Be sure to buy a trickle charger that can be left on permanently....
  10. Well, your post was confusing, car instead of care, you should read it before you post....????
  11. There were differences in tyre pressures on the Vigo, and most cars depending on rim and tyres size. My Vigo had 265/60x16 tyres, the door jamb sticker for this size tyre was 29 psi all round, loaded or unloaded. Different spec Vigo's were way different...
  12. When you turn the ignition off, lock the doors, the battery is still working, feeds are still being supplied to stuff, so over time it will probably take out the battery. A battery removed or disconnected will still lose charge too, but at a much slower rate, so giving it a charge every few months is a good idea, a job for a friend. Personally, I would leave the battery connected, buy a milliamp trickle charger and leave it connected to the battery. My fun ride spent most of its life in the garage connected to a milliamp trickle charger for months at a time over many years, always had a fully charged battery to turn the 7 litres of engine...????
  13. First, have you checked the tyre pressures, sounds daft but on my ol' truck it made a huge difference to the ride. If the ride does not have fancy suspension settings, you may be able to source adjustable shox to set on soft. On my Toyota truck I had to replace the rear shox, I put on some recommended after market ones, the ride quality was cr_p, they were so stiff the suspension was near gone, a week later I put some cheap replacements, all OK again..
