Quack and grrrr? Are you sure you haven’t got a small zoo living in your wheel arches? Did you try direct from Habtoor behind noor bank metro station? The parts direct don’t work out any more expensive than going to the small shops. Ebay is also an option if you don’t mind waiting for delivery. If the bushings are making noises but the vehicle is handling ok, it isn’t a major urgent thing.

You can always fit a MBC. Little bit of extra power for attacking a dune, back it off again when cruising.

The simplest way is to find the song you want on YouTube, copy the link and paste it into one of the YouTube to mp3 converter sites you find on google. Follow the on screen instructions and it will save the mp3 to your computer. The other option is torrents but personally I wouldn’t bother with it as it’s a whole big world of malware and trojans.

There will always be a few ultra rich who would love to have this in their collection. Ferrari FXX is on the same level as this but the owners aren't allowed to take it home. If you want to drive it, they will organize a track day complete with a team of mechanics for you to take it out for the day but they will bring it back to their storage area again. The beauty of this is that you own it, you can take it home and park it in your garage and admire it, invite your friends round to admire it. Do all that Facebook and instagram stuff. personally, I'd rather have a Maserati MC12 parked in my garage. The noise is glorious.

So when is the blower coming and how many psi do you intend to run?

What 3 cars would you have in your dream garage? The only stipulation is you can only have one marque. Include pictures. Im going with Ford First is the GT40 mk7 Second is RS200 Evolution Third is RS2000 X Pack

That is kind of the point of it. With a kerb weight of 1198kg it’s a car solely for setting lap times. I have a feeling we might see it in the GT3 race series this year or next year.

Good spot. The Senna is basically a heavily modified 720 S.

Abu Dhabi man becomes the first Emirati in space after tailgating Elon Musks Tesla Roadster.

15 years! On a side note, does anyone know how long abandoned cars sit here before they're picked up?

I guess most of you have been reading the news and know about the Space X Falcon Heavy rocket which has been launched into space. The Falcon Heavy has just over double the payload capacity of the previous largest rocket in the world at almost 64 metric tonnes. As it was the first test launch and these first launches have a high chance of failure, eccentric Space X CEO Elon Musk decided that rather than try to launch some expensive cargo into orbit with the risk of losing it, he would send up his old Roadster, complete with mannequin with David Bowies Space Oddity playing on repeat until the battery dies. Personally, I think Pink Floyd's set the controls for the heart of the sun would have been a better option. Anyway, here's some footage of it orbiting the earth. Space donuts yeah. What will our children say in 30 years when they find out there's a Tesla Roadster flying round somewhere in space? Probably something like why didn't your generation do more crazy stuff like that instead of killing and bombing each other.

@shadow79 check out the blower in the bottom picture. You know you want to...

A robot car park in Edinburgh, Scotland was open for a 2 year period between 2001-2003. The owners went bankrupt and the administrators simply showed up one day and locked the doors with 8 cars inside. Nobody knows what happened to the car owners. Fiat Tipo (?) and Austin Maestro in the pic. Not sure if they count as quality 'barn finds' but still pretty interesting as the models disappeared from the roads years ago.

The fuse is very necessary. It might stop your car going on fire. A fuse holder is a couple of dirhams in the shops of naif road. A new car costs thousands. Central locking triggering is an odd one. Maybe the PlayStation is emitting a frequency that conflicts with the central locking.

For a more permanent solution, you're going to have to attach the positive to the battery clamp with an eye terminal or look for a space in the under bonnet fuse box to attach it to, again with an eye terminal. The interior fuse box might not be able to supply the power required. You can attach the negative to anywhere on the body. Just sand the paint off where you're attaching it to so you get a good connection but try to keep the wire as short as possible. I.e. if the inverter is in the boot, look for a bolt in the boot attached to the body that you can connect it to. The whole car body is one big negative earth terminal. The purpose of the main power fuse isn't to protect the inverter, it has its own fuse to protect itself. It's in case the power wire breaks or rubs through and touches the body of the car creating a short circuit. A couple of hundred amps in a short circuit condition is enough to melt the plastic wire coating and start a fire in a few seconds. The fuse should be as close as possible to the power source to minimize the length of live cable in the event that something happens. If you want to know the true wattage of your inverter, you can introduce a load to the output with an inductance coil. I usually use the primary coil of a big transformer whilst making sure the wires from the secondary coil are isolated to avoid sparks etc. You can then measure the output in amps by attaching a clamp meter to either the positive or the negative going to the coil (not around both wires). You can then work out the true power. W=AV where W is watts, A is amps and V is voltage so just multiply amps by volts and you have the wattage. In all honesty though, if the inverter says 1000 watts, even if it can only produce 500 watts, it's more than enough. A PS4 only needs 165 watts to run and a full size LCD TV is around the same so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I used to ride bikes and whilst it’s a lot of fun, you constantly need to watch your ass. If I had a dirham for every time someone said sorry mate I didn’t see you, I could leave dubai for good.

1000 Watts is plenty to run a PlayStation. I ran a PlayStation and small lcd screen on a 300w inverter before. If it is cutting out when you plug it in the cigarette lighter, maybe the wiring for the cigarette lighter can’t handle it. Have you tried it with the engine running, might make a difference. Also a lot of electronic devices don’t like a modified sine wave. They would prefer a pure sine wave to run properly. Square, quasi and cutted waves are what electricians call dirty electricity. Take your clamp leads to any of the small electrical shops, show them the wire and they will sell you extra per metre to suit your requirements. It isn’t expensive. Don’t forget to add a fuse in the power supply. If you’re going to lengthen the leads, solder and heat shrink is the only real solution. Twisted leads can spark and drop the connection or worse still, cause fires. Better still, just replace the whole cable with a single length of wire. If you need any help or someone to show you what to do, I’m free most Fridays.

The vehicle manufacturer will tell you that the transmission oil is a lifetime fill. But check what the transmission manufacturer says. There will be a service schedule.

I think if the manufacturers started mass producing single seaters, the yoghurt knitters would start crying pollution and congestion. Never mind the fact everyone is driving round alone in 5 seater cars.

What are the worst design flaws you have seen? Here are a few, Nissan X terra. Factory roof rack, brilliant. Factory sunroof, brilliant. Not being able to use the sunroof because the roof rack is in the way? What the heck? Mercedes biodegradable wiring loom. Great idea in theory, saves all that plastic from going to landfill. In practice, hecking stupid idea. What if you like your old car and want to keep it but every time you go for a drive something short circuits? Lifetime fluids. Sure, fantastic. It's not like the metal parts rubbing together in your gearbox will ever create swarf that will eventually jam up the valve block. Physics eh? What did that Newton guy know anyway.

Reyonnah was a short lived French car manufacturer in the early 50s. Here is a picture of the interior of one of their cars. Kind of reminds me of being sat in an old Bedford truck.

Hi Annabel, welcome to Carnity. Hanoi rocks.

God bless you Rahim bhai

I saw the billboards for it appearing this morning. I never thought I'd say this about a Camry but it's pretty sexy.
