No dont think so. unless its in the interest of safety due to lack of space
cheers
nah its got retest at half 2, i just wanner make sure that i can stay if they tell me to go :devil:
I always stay and watch. The tester is usually really helpful, pointing out possible issues and advising on how best to sort it. I guess it depends where you go.
what colour coolant is the fiat panda 999cc engine meant to take?
i have been told that maybe blue is the stuff to use? just want to know before i go out spending £20 hehe

never heard that one before
red lasts five years, blue lasts 2 if you're lucky
never mix them, if you have one colour or unknown colour flush before filling with new colour

:yeahthat:
I always used red, got blue when skint once as a one off, and now regret it as I know have to change it again as now coming to 2 years :bang:
Keep an eye in Halford for concentrate Red when its on 3 for 2. 15L makes about 30-40L iirc (handy if several cars in the household) and cost about £37-£40. £1 a Litre isn't bad imo. Also has a higher boil over capacity apparently (which helps Imo in the slightly older motors).

Red has less/no surface tension, it cools better because it gets closer to the metal parts and reduces cavitation which in turn reduces surface corrosion hence the "long/extended life",heard that red can eat the hoses?

But warning older cars don't like it, less tolerances on parts, causing pumps to fail or leaks.
Red will be fine in talon he can take it

what is the definition of live TV?
Was listening to an ad from the Beeb regarding students and needing a TV to wwatch live TV.
So does that mean while the program is being broadcast only?
eg,if you set your telly box to a 10 second buffer and then watch. is it live?

If you have equipment which is capable of receiving live televison (even if you're not viewing it live), then you need a license. You can watch stuff on iPlayer without a license as long as you don't tune into the live streams.
but its not that simply these days
what if i start watching a stream online, that is still being shown on TV
but Im watching from the start 10 minutes after it started
Or does the definition of live mean any program thats on cannot be watched until its finished without it being deemed live?
i always deemed "live" as the cameras are rolling, what is going to happen while they are rolling is going to happen, and can not be edited out as it is.. well live.
live stream i would say is a almost (compensate for lag times) instant link from TV/computer to the remote recording device.
something that has say a 10 sec delay is not truly live however it may have been "filmed live" and it is just a lag time dew to converting the video/audio to a streaming format. so i would say that yes, its live, just not instant live.
if you really want to go into it, nothing is truly live as everything takes time to reach a person, be it sound or vision.
its a tough one really. heh tbh i could not truly answer the question.

Its a live stream. iPlayer for example won't publish for an hour I think after the programme has finished, however if using a website to view live channels - even if delayed due to pausing for example, its classed as live.
so if the stream is 1 hour behind(for arguments sake with no show over 1 hour long) but streaming the content as it was originally broadcast.
its live?
I personally would have said yes, as its just time delayed, which even most 'live' broadcasts are by a few seconds.
If it's a 'single programme' content though, like iPlayer / 4OD etc, then thats not live.
If watched on a battery operated product though (thats running on batteries, laptop plugged in doesn't count) then technically no TV license is needed, although the latest stuff on license website doesn't make this very clear.
