Bloody hell, how you doing?
That's actually a really good question, because I have lost my grip on what is real or not.
A while ago I cracked up and fell into a deluded dystopia that got so bad th ... |

How much did it go for? |

It would be better with a Stirling engine, but I can't simply pull one of those out of a handy scrap car.
Does anyone know what has become of "Hairyloon"?

The problem I see with electric vehicles is the batteries.
Am I being unreasonable to extrapolate my experience with laptop batteries on to vehicle batteries?

If I've read right, you've not yet got the joint loose?
In which case try heating it.
If you've actually damaged the pipe, or if you want to fit a narrower radiator, it's not a major issue to extend ... |
