Indecisive Auto
Citroën BX Mechanical Fuel Pump Petrol Leak
Indecisive Auto was planning to take his Citroen BX to the Festival of the Unexceptional (although we’d argue that it's far too special for that). However, his fuel pump has given up the ghost in a rather scary manner, which could have resulted in a fire en route.
Finding an original pump is proving tricky. He has two possible replacements but they're not perfect and modifications are required. Will he succeed?

Everything You Need To Know About Welding
As we all know, Edd is the master at explaining how things work (or not as the case may be), and this video about MIG welding is no exception.
Edd says “How do you MIG weld? What size welding wire should I use? Is MIG or TIG better? What is the best gas for MIG welding? How much gas? These are just some of the questions I regularly get asked about welding; so, as a great way to put off welding up John's rusty Range Rover chassis, I thought it might be good to do a bit of a MIG welding refresher for you.”

Visors - OEM vs cheap Chinese copy
How much do you spend on spare visors, specifically tinted ones? In this video, RocketMan, who's based in sunny southern Portugal, compares an original Shoei tinted visor costing €150 ($270) with a €15 ($27) copy from AliExpress.
He says: “How do they stack up in terms of fit, finish, optics, and safety? Is the cheap knock-off good enough, or is it a dangerous compromise? Whether you're riding with a Shoei Neotec, GT Air, NXR, RF-1200, J Cruise or X-Spirit III, this visor comparison could save you money (or regret).”
