General Car Chat / Re: My v6 leak was not a head gasket drip..

A side effect of poor coolant choice perhaps

I would say so mate. The coolant was blue

blue coolant cant be that bad surly? i have not have any problems with it in the past. maybe the car has been ran with water and no anti free at all in past? Given water leaks are quite common and people just top the system back up with water until its fixed it wouldn't be that surprising

Full electric cars are cool in my opinion, even the leaf. I did recently watch a documentary on the history of electric cars recently though which may have influenced my opinion.

Have you worked out how much it costs to do a full charge at home?

I'll get one but only flaw is you live over 100 miles away from me and I think most electric cars won't do more than 100 miles

I have had 102 miles out of one charge but I had to drive so carefully it was exhausting

What car do you drive?

General Car Chat / Re: Aluminium

« on: 02 March 2014, 23:55:21 »

I think using steel for making car body shells will start going out of fashion as time goes on. Especial as you start seeing more hybrids/ electric cars that could really benefit from the weight saving.

Think tesla make their electric cars fully out of aluminium
