  1. So, are they Qat or Quat D's?

  2. Definitely necessary for sense if you erroneously put an apostrophe before the s of the plural, Qat Ds, making it possessive (Qat D's). But if you correctly leave it as a simple plural form it's not really confusing, especially as Rivets had a capital R denoting it's a name, not a generic bunch of fixings. Nice try though!:upyeah::Happy:

  4. Work ... I have heard of this concept. What is it pray tell? Just back from a blast to Snell's, where I nearly bought a new bike! Just stopped myself and will think about it instead.

  5. Definitely Quat Ds (no apostrophe please!) I've got a sticky U - either that or I have Le Manoir au Qat Saisons (a posh caff) on the brain.

  11. That's right, "its" is "it's". Yeah, really. 'Tis.

  13. Anyway, the answer is, once a month, start the engine up and run at a decent temperature for 20-30 minutes.

    Everything in the engine that is meant to move gets moved, the lubrication is at the desired temperature. If you are worried about cold-starts wearing your engine out ... well, don't ever put any petrol in the tank and the engine will last forever. Once a month won't kill it.

    And @bootsam - 'tis not.
