Hi friend 👋

Gulf has been around for a very long time. You might recognise some of these

I have said this before and I will say it again. If your cooling system has a problem, find it and fix it. Removing the thermostat is a bodge that uae mechanics do when they can’t find the cause of the problem. No offence intended @desertdude but it’s a hack job done by people who don’t understand how a cooling system works. Same as people bypassing the interior heater matrix pipes. Why? Other than being a cheap ass? I don’t know about other people but I like to have all the systems on my car working. The manufacturer designed it that way for a reason. If you want to trust some shitty rashidiya or Sharjah mechanic then go ahead.

Just watched The Dirt. It’s a documentary about motley crue player by actors. Just released on Netflix yesterday. I’m not a massive motley crue fan but I like some of their songs. Very entertaining to watch, totally recommend it for any music fan. I thought some of the things I did when I was playing in bands was rock n roll but these guys took it to another level. Fun fact: did you know Metallica lost their first recording contract to an unknown band called motley Crue? I bet the scout is still kicking his own ass until this day, especially after his girlfriend did...., watch the movie, you’ll see.

I can’t wait to see discounts on fines abolished completely. If discounts are available regularly, people will continue to break the law. It’s simple, don’t drive like a AH, stick to the rules and you won’t get fined. If everyone obeyed the rules there would be less accidents and less deaths here.

I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a V6 Clio but it’s a similar setup. There’s a half height firewall behind the seats and a cover on top of the engine.

Vents. It’s mid engined 😊

If you want to share a ride with friends it’s ok. Once money comes into it, it becomes illegal.
-
I’ve noticed nobody said they have a set of axle stands? Jacking a car up is cool but when it falls on you it isn’t so cool
-
And people continue to mock my interest in pre 2000 cars. Sure, the cars I like a crap but at least they’re interesting.
-
If you’re giving a ride to friends, it’s fine. If you take money, it’s illegal. Hit up Facebook, search for carlift. Without meaning to be racists, Filipinos seem to be the main illegal taxi operators operating under the car lift term.

What is it the kids say now? Hashtag triggered?

Renault still make some cool cars. Its old age and nostalgia. What we had when we were kids was always better but in reality, cars are faster now than they have ever been. Having a car with 100 bhp used to be something special. Now you can go out and buy a 250 bhp standard car with no mods.

I like motley crue. Never been a huge fan but I like them. The Dirt was just released on Netflix yesterday. One of the most entertaining things I’ve seen in a long time. Way more fun than Bohemian Rhapsody but I know it won’t get the same publicity. If you get a chance, watch it. Since watching, I’ve downloaded all their albums and I’m tripping on them. Good band. Just got whitewashed because of the whole hair metal thing. Fun fact. Metallica were originally meant to be signed to elektra records. They decided to sign motley crue instead. Ok deal but someone missed out there.

Spotted this in Barsha today. Never thought I’d see one in the wild here. Guessing it’s a European owner.

Why we should never ever throw anything in the desert
Barry replied to Emmanuel's topic in Offroad General Discussion
It’s not just the desert. Dropping your trash anywhere is a shitty thing to do. -
You need to state engine size too instead of just the models. These models are all available with different engine sizes. Smaller engines generally give better mileage. I don't usually recommend other forums but google honest John real world mpg. They have real world mileage from real owners.

If you can't polish it out, its probably went through the lacquer and down to the paint. I have a good guy who does smart repairs, can fix it without repainting the whole panel. Message me if you want his number.

Hi Shafik bro, welcome to Carnity!
-
Brake problem could be any number of things. Low pads, old fluid, air in the fluid. You need a mechanic to look at it. AC problem could be a weak compressor, dirty condenser, maybe the system wasn't cleaned and vacuumed properly before being filled, again any number of things. You need to see a good mechanic.

If your car needed an oil change, you jacked it up outside your house, drained the oil, screwed the old filter off, screwed the new one on and filled the engine with oil. If the car was running bad, you change the spark plugs, get the timing light out and make sure the distributor is on point. If you’re having starting problems, you make sure the points are set correctly. Making an engine run is easy. Every petrol engine needs 4 things to run. Spark, timing, fuel, compression. When did we reach the stage that people lost all knowledge and started to depend on overpriced dealerships? I know so many people who call themselves petrol heads but they couldn’t even point out a spark plug. Where did it all go wrong?

Ok so it’s been a while since I updated this. The project isn’t over yet. The original funder lost his job and ran out of money so the project was shelved. A new funder is on board so the build will start again soon. We have a huge turbo diesel Cummins engine just sitting there on the shelf doing nothing so expect the 351 to get junked and a huge high torque motor capable of rolling coal to be installed. Lets see what happens. I can promise you it will be epic.

Need help regarding TPMS error on Ford Explorer 2009
Barry replied to Vinod Abraham's topic in Ford Explorer Forum in UAE
Really? I didn’t know that. But there must be a way of opening the unit, changing the batteries and gluing it back together. -
I have no hatred for any of these cars. I used to dislike the fiat multipla but it grew on me. It’s quirky and quirky is cool. Totally functional too. I used to date a girl who’s mother had one and lent it to us on weekends. Having 3 seats in a row up front comes in handy sometimes. The CX is also a cool car. Citroens are equivalent to the cars America were turning out in the 50s with space age influenced design. The only difference is Citroen had the newest technology to back up the funky looks. The minx and sprite had their own coolness too. Think of the minx as a European 57 Chevy and it makes sense. The sprite was what it was, small light and nimble and designed for the roads it was on. I cant think of anything I’d call ugly. I appreciate things for what they are

Why would you even bother with used? Maybe it just needs a battery.
