Not the crankshaft position sensor. On some makes, the cam position sensor can take over when the CPS fails, and allow the engine to run in limp home mode. Clever. In fact, so crucial is it that they ought to simply put another sensor on the other end of the crankshaft :-) But the emissions sensors generally provide feedback. If one fails, the engine light will come on and the engine management system will use the last available settings from when the sensor was working. In the long term, the engine will drift out of emissions spec. but it will go on running reasonably well for a while. True. Depends on what you mean by run normally. Early engine management systems used a default set of values after sensor failure, which would generally get you home but was quite poor. It's a bit more sophisticated today. But to drift back to the topic, my current car has tyre pressure sensors, which are literally more trouble than they are worth, as they are worthless. They are not particularly accurate, and apparently put more wear and tear on valve bodies than formerly. I've had to replace two valves, at a cost of about thirty pounds, which have torn around the seating. Again, light on, MOT fail, regardless of the actual tyre pressures, which of course are a potential failure point in their own right. |

it certainly needs to ignore minority groups "holidays" It's possible to get a postal ballot, so it's not an insuperable difficulty, but it seems a hell of a palaver to have to go to. A big, big job for some local authorities, having to administer that with next to no notice, and no job at all for others. If it didn't, the whole calendar would be blacked out A certain amount of exaggeration, surely? tim |

And not only that but much of this took place in a Magistrates Court. Where they're more used to people representing themselves and so may well have made allowances, and where your £21,000 barrister won't even be allowed to wear his or her wig or gown. Ultra vires is an extremely important legal principle, like habeas corpus. It is the one case in which the law can say 'act as though legally that has never happened' Indeed. Wikipedia is a really great idea isn't it ? It allows clueless people to convince even more clueless people that they actually know what they're talking about. More especially if, as I say, latin phrases are involved, Since I fought a case on whiuch that issue was pertinent Michael,it is more than just a latin phrase. So what case would that be ? None of your ****ing business lost it then, all court cases are public domain IIRC. |

My sister had one go on her dreadful Meriva while we were all out somewhere. Then it would run for a few miles and then we'd have to let it cool down all over again. I'm guessing it was a potted thing that started to crack with heat and age. A far cry from my old Tiger Cub where you would just turn the distributor until it sounded happy, then nip it up. :-) But you wouldn't need to put it on the other end of the crank.
