I presume the Cuba rumour was derived from this: Put nuclear weapons in Cuba – Russian MP IMO we should refrain here from just copying and pasting 'breaking news' unless we've carried out due diligence first. The Russian misinformation machines are working overtime currently. No names, you...

Where's the source? Not on Sky News. Can't find a source anywhere else.

You need to tell us exactly how you have modified your brakes - what pads, discs etc. you are using. You can put bigger calipers/rotors under 18" rims if that's the route you want to take (not necessarily Tesla 18" rims though). How much track driving do you intend to do?

Only some fixed cameras and average speed zones are shown and only on the route you have entered into navigation and the direction you are travelling. No audible warning, just the icons on the map. All in all, not particularly useful but I suppose in time it may improve.

We will see. Personally, I trust Orban about the same amount as Putin. But it seems we have to give everyone one last chance. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another. Then another.

BBC just published this: "Ukraine urges against spreading of 'unverified information' As we've been reporting, Russia says that the plane which crashed in Belgorod region was carrying 65 Ukrainian prisoners of war. We have now had a statement from the Coordination HQ on Treatment of the...

BBC tends to lead with misinformation these days. Why report Russian lies as though they are facts? Every 'update' so far quotes only Russian sources. 'BBC Verify' isn't verifying much. Just repeating Russian lies with a disclaimer they can't verify it. :rolleyes:

As always, 2 sides to this story already emerging. Ukraine says it was full of S-300 missiles. Russia says it was full of Ukrainian POWs. That war fog is getting denser every day.

They're the lowest part of the car so will be the first to scrape speedhumps etc. Not really a big deal.

245 is the optimum width for those wheels but you could go to 255. Do you want to fit summer tyres or all seasons?

Improved ball joint so water doesn't get in and the grease stays in there. There are more expensive aftermarket ones like Powerflex or MPP which also have uprated bushes and can give you more camber adjustment but on the whole they're aimed at drivers taking their cars in track. For most the new...

Ok I think you better list all the mods on your car as I was under the impression it was all factory. Squeaks can come from various bushes so you need to narrow it down more. At least top/bottom. The MPP FUCAs are unlikely to be the cause.

It will be the upper control arms, not the top mounts. Assuming it's not in warranty, if you get Tesla to fix it will cost around £190 in total. It's not a difficult DIY if you want to have a go. Aftermarket parts are available also, but the latest Tesla arms are a big improvement on the...

That's a stretch too far in my book ;)

(edited) Ah yes that video is very useful, especially as it has a timecode. So, two Bradleys giving it a good hammering. Anyway, one less T-90 to worry about. 😁

No, clearly a different engagement and that one looks like the Bradley used one if not both of it's TOWs on the tank. Just to be clear, I'm not trying to say a Bradley can't take out a T-90, because with 2 x TOWs available, it has a very good chance of at least disabling it, but I'm agreeing...

There's been a clip of a T-90 being "destroyed" by a Bradley's 25mm chain gun which seems to have got some quite excited. I have to say, I'm with Ryan on this one. Unless someone has some footage of how it looked after the clip, which cuts very abruptly after the smoke went off.

You don't necessarily need adjustable arms. Get an alignment check done before you fit anything and see how it changes once lowered. There is a small amount of adjustment in the standard parts which Tesla calls "slop" 😁 i.e. the bolt holes are bigger than the bolts. While you're at it, check...

You're going to get people recommending lowering springs. I'm not going to do that as they are just a cheap way to lower a car which can lead to other negative issues. Depending on how much you're willing to spend, a decent coilover kit like KW is what I'd suggest. Just be aware that there are...

Yes, many of us have but what are you trying to achieve? Better ride? Better handling? The slammed look? Track day beast? It's always a compromise but if you can define what you're after, that will help you choose the best solution. Also, you need to spend a reasonable amount of money to get...

Nonsense. You can order parts through the app and there are plenty of aftermarket replacement parts available for all Tesla models now, so there's no reason a garage can't carry out repairs.

Before and after KABOOM! Original brightened up to show extensive mangling: Some Russian 'experts' are claiming friendly fire was responsible for both hits. They just can't admit to themselves that Ukraine has the capability, so that explanation is easier to swallow. That's telling in itself.

That's how I did a pad change the first time before I knew about the '9V battery to the terminals' trick. 😁

Tail no. Is shown in some photos and checks out as a IL-22M11. You can Google it - RF-95678

How?

There are a few variants but from what I've seen it is a IL-22

I'm afraid you may have broken the epb worm gear. Although it's supposed to be possible to manually wind the piston in, you really need to do if with the motor either in service mode or with a battery connected to the terminals.

This suggests the A-50 was within range of Patriot. Some say it was flying that close to the frontline because of all the radar strikes UKR carried out in Crimea. Another theory is that it was shot down by Su-27s armed with 100km+ AIM-120C missiles. Either way, a nice start to the week.

These squeaks can come and go with the weather, but you're right to expect them to return! ;)

Do you have multiple profiles? Is the one it picks up from your phone/card the same one you manually select? We have two Model 3s and my profile changes the seat and right mirror positions when I get in either of them, but not the left mirror. I've tried multiple recalibrations with no success...

That's what I've got but most won't want to pay that much.

How much more escalation is required before we give Ukraine the tools they need to finish the job?

What's the point in providing ballistic missiles if UKR aren't allowed to use them to strike the airfields, drone launch sites etc. where all their missiles are being fired from almost every day? No matter, let's just watch more and more civilians being killed and Putin getting away with more...

Our defence secretary, Grant Shapps, squaring up to the Houthis, in a frankly very un-British show of aggression: "...if this continues, as it did yesterday, there will be consequences. And I’m going to leave it at that" :eek...

"...the US would demand at the UN security council that Russia be held accountable" "We condemn in the strongest possible terms [North Korea’s] export and Russia’s procurement of [North Korea’s] ballistic missiles, as well as Russia’s use of these missiles against Ukraine." Oh, right. That'll...

First off, there are 3 main sources of noise from the front. The noises can be described as a squeak/groan/knock. Sometimes it can happen when the car is stationary and you turn the steering from lock to lock. Sometimes it needs the car to be moving before you can hear it. If it happens when...

I've seen a few video clips where shotguns have been used, but how to deploy them? You can't expect everyone to carry their rifle & mags plus a multi-shot shotgun. That AA-12 is relatively light, but still an additonal 6-7Kg to carry, and hauling 2 long guns and additonal ammo around is not...

Yes I see them all the time. The "within spec. window" is very wide on all models. There is a case for adjustable arms for S/X and 3/Y and thankfully more options are coming available for those who don't want to spend money on adjustable arms with spherical joints.

So how do you align to the target (rather than the wide "within spec" values) for rear toe, camber, caster if you own a Tesla which is out of the 'slop' adjustment window? There are reasons to add more adjustability other than for track use.

These wheel speed sensors are now available in the aftermarket for around £25 if anyone has this problem and isn't bothered about using Tesla parts.

What wheels are the 245 winters fitted to?

4941/4947 VHB is the right one, but preparation is all important with any adhesive, especially if you want it to stick to a material like the one used for the number plate plinth. Abrading the surface slightly then cleaning with IPA helps. Using a heat gun to warm the surface up to 30 deg. C or...

3M branded? Did you use pieces the same size as the plate as I linked to, or just a few strips? Did you prepare the surface by cleaning with IPA wipes? I've got the same velcro on two Model 3s stuck to the 'waxy plastic' and it's been fine for 3years+. Want to see photos? Trying to get away...

Are you saying you used your phone to compare with the car and you previously compared your phone with some other device? Which GPS device is/was that?

Certainly more likely than overheating being the cause.

Vs. what GPS? The car's? Your phone? A tracker? How are you making the comparison? Assuming you have the stock 21" Uberturbine staggered set, the difference in revolutions per mile is 1. Even assuming an error of 2% that's 1.2mph at 60 mph. I don't see what the issue is? Most GPS modules are...

That's what the Powerflex arms come with. A poly spherical. Hardrace also have "uprated" bushes but I haven't tried them myself.

There was a branded dealership there at least in 2021. May not be official? https://maps.app.goo.gl/qfSdMVZon7TQ1KfG7
