>There's a post here: whatconsumer.co.uk whose top post seems to be burning an over-rich fuel mixture.

Hmm, I wonder what they're running *their* servers on.

>Use a sponge with some water in it to disconnect the battery, it doesn't harm on the engine or the transmission

Well, I hope not!

>Great question! There do not appear to be any manufacturers who are putting them in your face and on your arms.

Hrmph!  Commercialism these days is so *in your face!*
