Thou shalt spell the word “Pheonix” P-H-E-O-N-I-X, not P-H-O-E-N-I-X, regardless of what the Oxford English Dictionary tells you.

The front wheel is correct but I would move the D lock at the back. It is only round a wheel and a mudguard.

Your current method means the frame could be stolen by undoing the wheel bolts and lifting away. Can’t see exactly how the mudguards are fixed and they might complicate it a bit but not much.

I’d suggest low on the seat tube just above the chain ring and then loop the cable round the front and back wheels and into the D lock.

Edit: forgot. Don’t bother looping up through the seat like that. If they want to steal that with the cable there it’s only two bolts. It’s only one without the cable but if you were still worried you can get security seatpost bolts

His parents were a GP and owned a pharmacy. They just didn’t get it for him/them for whatever reason.

They certainly could have afforded it if they wanted to.

There’s a massive difference between just not having something as a child and not even being able to afford it at all.

I love these Tory twat stories where they try to relate to normal people. They’re so far off the mark it highlights just how clueless they are about real life.

I presume you’re joking. That was a one time minor deduction from thousands.

I can’t believe Sunderland are in there for so long. Had no idea they’d been that consistent prior to the 80/90s and I’m a Newcastle fan.

I’ve also heard that it’s a real crazy show where anything goes.

The comments read like a lot of people don’t quite understand the issue.

The bonnet (hood if you insist) latch may not warn a driver if it isn’t secured correctly. If it is secured correctly then it is fine. So it isn’t going to suddenly open.

If the latch isn’t shut correctly and then the sensor doesn’t report this then the bonnet may open unexpectedly.

If they can use a software update to correct the reporting then that’s it fixed.

There’s no issue with the actual latching mechanism. It’s just the sensor for reporting the latching state.

It may be that it currently works on a two value system. i.e a value for correctly latched and a value for not latched. If that’s the case and isn’t just not providing the second valve correctly then a simple software change to only use the latched value would fix this. As any other value or the absence of a value will report it at unlatched.

And what is the next word after the bit you have quoted?

Is it by any chance switch.

The full quote is deformation of the hood latch switch. Not the hood latch.

Thanks for further confirming my point that you’re not reading it correctly.

Read it again. It’s deformation of the hood latch switch. Not the hood latch.

Nope it’s the latch switch. So something that is switched when the latch is closed. Not the latch itself.
