There probably isnt any sufficiently challenging terrain to drive it on with an all terain rock crawler Plow, He should move to Oxfordshire.

It took the bickering twats 18 months to fix this, 9 months of which spent arguing which parish owned the road.
The road was upgraded on the cheap some years before, they neglected to add culverts for streams.
Mother Nature won.
Motherfuckers bitched back and forth blamestorming, meanwhile people clogged the surrounding roads and villages.

When it was done the speed limit was lowered from National limit to 40Mph because it was caused by speeding cars or something.

Trailer lights on a small lightweight bike trailer ?
I don’t know if legally I would need a fog light on the trailer if I didn’t use the car fog light ? And would it need working reversing lights ?
I’ve found a pre made wiring kit for the new car which is plug and play on everything but the fog and reverse light , and I don’t fancy cutting the wires .
I only use it during daylight so really it’s just brake lights and indicators to keep it looking legal ish !

Definately no need for reversing lights, not sure about a fog light but I can't remember them on marker boards

If a vehicle runs better with the MAF disconnected does this mean the MAF is faulty out there is a different fault causing issues further down the line and a default map is a closer match to the required?

Sic doors your scanner show live data? Individual cylinders etc, how much are they and do they do pretty much any vehicle?

Generally yes. It'll use default assumption values with it disconnected. So shouldn't drive better with it disconnected.

Yes.
Depends on what the manufacturer provides out of the port. Basically does almost the same as a factory tool
Yes.
