yes, but there is less variation than you may think Is there though? Valve timing, fuel injection, emission control, idle. All of these factors are vastly different from vehicle to vehicle and the majority are variable dependant on how ot

I'm genuinely interested in hearing more about the non-starter. I've stripped hundreds of starters over the years and every time I thought, there must be an easier way of doing this! I think you would seriously struggle with an open ECU. Th

Some wicked ideas here. I'm intrigued about (41) NonStarter. The starter in a cars engine is massive considering its relatively simplistic purpose. Did you elaborate on this one by any chance? PS: (43) NotFb A place for facebook hold-outs

Valid point. Having read all of the feedback, there's plenty of info to create something slightly different for the UK used car market.

This is a fantastic idea. Considering how hard dealers are fighting for business at the moment, why not let them do all the work? I love it. I'd love to see something like this hit the UK.

I doubt it will take that long. 30 years ago the vast majority of cars didn't have airbags, ABS or even ECU's and technology develops exponentially faster now than it did in the 80's so in my opinion we will see the first mass production fu

car automation has to be good enough that that's a credible suggestion. I completely agree. I suppose what I was trying to get at is that the direction Google seem to be taking this is one where it will end up as an amazing feature on top

I believe Google are potentially missing a trick. If they are developing an automated car that requires little to no human interference then surely the design would be completely different if all cars on the road were automated. The biggest

I'd love to know if this is an accurate representation of how difficult Mesna tests are. I've always fancied joining but assumed that I would never qualify and to be honest, having sat a few IQ tests in my time I would consider that to be a

As an IT recruiter, trust me when I say all the old basics are accurate. 1) Do your research. Not just the 'About Us' section of the website. 2) Dress smart. Make sure you are cleanly shaven, your suit fits you properly, shoes are polished

Wow. I naturally expected the title of that blog to be tongue-in-cheek. I was actively avoiding paying to see that movie as I feared it would be another Hollywood over-dramatisation of an actual event but based on the emphasis Scott placed

Basic common sense would highlight that this is grossly inaccurate and a quick google search confirms it: Let’s think about this, a year can only start on one of seven days, so there are seven possible basic calendar years. Add leap years,

I can see your point but unfortunately that's absolute rubbish. There is a ridiculously small number of people who pay silly money to recruiters to cover nepotism but the reality is that employers hand over five figure sums to recruiters be

To be honest, I'm not seeing a huge amount of remote working opportunities at the moment. I can't really explain the trend but for the last 6 months I've only had 1 or 2 remote working roles.

Sounds like a plan. One point on your site though: Brand has huge influence when trying to hire the best, so unlike recruiters we don't hide your brand. There are two reasons why recruiters don't advertise company names: 1) They don't wan

I love recruitment, I honestly do. Primarily because of the money I make! I loved working as a developer but there was a distinct lack of social and professional interaction that eventually led to me looking at other options. It was satisfy

I am convinced there are still many ways for recruiting to be fixed by disruptive startups I couldn't agree more. I've been actively trying to tackle this problem, so far without success, for a while now.
