Here https://www.econologie.com/articles-1892.html
we read:
# Optimize your route according to your activities. Think before you go. Make your stops in a "logical" direction depending on the location of your activities. When you take your car, do several "things" at the same time and if possible on an optimized route. For example, do not go to the Post Office to send a single letter, but do it at the same time as going to do your shopping, even if it means waiting a day or two (for non-urgent mail).

OK on the principle.
But, given the very important network of La Poste, including boxes in the smallest village without a postal office, take his car to post a letter supposes to live on the Moon!

leave a directory in the car: check if your supplier has stock.

confirm your business appointments the day before or in the morning

always walk around with your agenda (learn first how to use it, there are internships)

always ask your "visited" person for his GSM number when you are not sure where you are going or when you arrive on time

"take your sandwiches", like the Belgians or the Swedish.

Do not hesitate to pick bread from the baker (if it was not necessary, it freezes very well) or phone your wife if you have to go to a department store.

invest 250 euros in "reasonable food overstocks"
have a silly thought in the kitchen
make a list for your shopping
go around the regular supplies: milk, water, bread, oil, vinegar, spices, rice, flour, sugar, wine, beer, etc ... making your list

1 / buy a map of the city / area, check it out before any unusual course and take it in the car. You will avoid
what a lot of people do: turn and turn for 1h before finding their destination.

2 / agree to walk a few meters or hundreds of meters instead of turning during 1h to find a parking spot right in front of your destination.

For antoinet111, there I remain perplexed; I was actually told that the clutch could patir:
When I say freewheeling it's at a standstill of course, but when I go back to speed it's at that moment that the clutch might be suffering.
Mine did 140000km but it is a utility vehicle so that is under load at this level.


Hi lau

the brake and power steering, it does not matter his muscle.
On the 504 / 505 gasoline when we make the track we turn the vacuum hose on the master to prevent the fesh goes into the engine through the assistance; just press the pedal like a deaf man.

For the clutch you have a toyota (if my memory is exact) 140 000km is the end of the running normally, 300 000km mountain on the L200 of the neighbor, but if you do that on a bmw or a golf course it will not go far.

if you did less it is that the cylinder of control returns badly or that you kill it !!!

Happy Holidays

you do not interfere, I have one, it makes me make very interesting coconut savings. New shorter paths, speed reductions, and even detections of fixed, mobile, accidentogenic, dangerous bends. ...

Hey Antoine, that's exactly it!
me before, even with the cards, I could be wrong on the road and make lots of km more.
My "navman 60i" GPS can be configured: more or less fast; more or less short; more or less highway.
I always wondered how this service was free as well as pay channels by satellite?

Zac! Well figure you I find it strange that my clutch could not go beyond 140000km on my Hilux. Yet I never drive in town and can not say that I carry heavy loads all the time.
Can be my way of shifting gears because I do not see how passing from the dead pt 5è 100km / h would be more traumatic than passing the 5 4 100km / h?

If the control cylinder returns badly, I do not understand, it must be a factory defect, but again I do not believe much.

To qualify ...
If the slope or the slowdown zone allows it, the use of the engine brake on fuel oil allows less consumption than a period of "freewheeling", because in engine braking, the consumption is zero, which is not the case when you disengage.


Whatever!
Inquire before you leave this type of remarks on the verge of defamation ... : roll:
A modern engine with deceleration injection cutoff consumes nothing in the engine brake, which is not the case in freewheel (idle speed).

So what ? It makes you the specialist of everything?

I do not know if the remark in red has been added by a modo ...

Otherwise, the "Cleon cast iron" block no longer exists, it seems to me, except on the 60 hp Twingo and there really should only be the block itself which is related to that of the Renault of the 50s and 60s. (this block appeared before the R8 ...)
