Leigh, I read somewhere that only 2% of the population ride bikes. I’d be surprised if anything car related did not generate more interest. Maybe a sort of workshop diary? Food for thought.

Delight. Just bought a D23 NP300. Got all these things to look forward to ;) The so-called engineers should be ashamed of themselves. Although, from what I here, this engine was originally from another model and was mounted at 90degress, so access was probably better....

That’s ridiculous. These manufacturers are making it impossible for anyone to do basic maintenance on their cars. I went to change a headlight bulb on my old Citroen C3 a couple of years ago and after an hour of trying to squeeze my hand into a space so small only a 2 year old’s hand could of gotten in there, I gave up and paid Halfords to do it.

Yep. I get loads of "can I change a bulb please"? Jobs. Actually I need to put a bulb in this Navara. I gave up & got on with something else on it that needed doing. I'll have to do the buld today though.

Gotta love production 'engineers'. I had a Renault Laguna diesel a good few years ago where the engine had to be dropped to replace the cam belt, six hours! Mind, you need to lift the petrol tank in order to top up the coolant in the header tank on my VStrom. If they'd moved the filler cap 50mm to the back of the header tank it would be easy to get to..... engineers eh!

Leigh, I liked that, very entertaining.Which comedian was it that used to say, It's The Way You Tell It? I'm convinced car manufacturers don't want the average guy tinkering with their engineering so they do things like that deliberately. 😂

Thank you. Wasn't that Jimmy Cricket or something like that? Yea thats why they do certain things I think. The amount of specialist tools is insane. I even have a special tool for putting drive belts on a Ford Focus. Used it a few times. Not had a Focus in for ages that I can remember.
