Off topic really since this sign is not whacky.

Sometimes it goes the other way.

But not the delivery drivers who will be getting no wages today...

The sound rattles in my skull to this day...

I was considering Fords when car shopping but got somewhat put off after a bit of Googling of Ecoboosts... My car now has a 1.4 Mutli-Air turbo which seems a decent balance of technological cleverness and robustness. It's just an old Fiat FIRE underneath.

AFAIK they have timing chains but there are plastic guides that break up and let them jump teeth. Engine-out job to change them.

One of the YouTube broken EcoBoost videos I watched had one with all the teeth missing from the oil pump belt. The remains of the teeth were stuck in the oil strainer...

Future old car owners will have super fun with wet belts. Especially Ford ones...

The cheapest UK car full stop is the Kia Picanto at £13,695 so £15k for a full EV is great. Although new car prices these days are straight up nuts... -
I missed out on Metros. They went from being too new to extinct seemingly without passing through a stage in between where I could afford one.

Given that the conversion consists of replacing the valve seats and the cure for valve seat recession is exactly the same thing, you might as well leave it be and see if you actually have problems...

Dacia Spring pricing starts at £15k I quite like it. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/dacia-spring-uks-cheapest-electric-car -
The US ones were designed with the assumption that the user probably isn't belted in... I used to have to use those little seat belt plug things to fool the belt alarm in the back of my SEAT. The dog went in there with his belt attached to an isofix point so the belt buckle was unused. Since the seat had occupancy detection, when he shifted his weight he was apt to trigger the belt alarm. Which got louder and more insistent the longer you ignored it. Did my head in.

I’d be putting a bid on that if I had anywhere to keep it…

That's normal. The drill brakes the motor by shorting it out when you release the trigger. Like this: MOVIE.mp4

Pretty sure it's a self-cleaning oil filter. You turn the 'tap' to scrape crud off the strainer which you drain out of the spigot on the bottom. Here's a modern one.
-
This one has something looking quite like an oil filter in the same place with maybe a pressure gauge attached? Maybe the oil pump shares the magneto drive? Of course any Googling of Ferguson tractors just produces a flood of TE20s...

This amused me for the sheer irrelevance to this topic :) How to do a software update on your Kia door handles.

Yes and it dates from the time when Smart gearboxes were aaaaaaawful. By the time they offered a dual clutch auto and the option of a manual the Roadster was gone.
