LOL @ this comment posted on that video

"No no no. You guys don’t get it. This car is designed to protect the occupants of the opposing vehicle. The Chery Amulet itself, the whole car, is the crumple zone."

It would be a perfect opportunity to pull over a bikie on his Harley, so I don't know why they would turn a blind eye. Makes it easier to target members of bike gangs for something. You know the old pull the suspected murderer over for jaywalking because we have nothing else on him routine or for an example even closer to home pull a skyline over for being too low or for having wheels that are 'too big' so that they can get a look under the hood.

Rumour and speculation had led me to believe that Harley's and certain touring bikes had a factory exemption for the 90dB noise limit. Disclaimer: I could be wrong!

Anyone got any other crash test videos ?

- Adam

You may have already seen these videos but here is the crash test for the Chinese-built Brilliance BS6. These totally 'BS' cars are already on sale in Europe.

Brilliance BS6 crash test

A reviewer on the autoblog website stated that "The BS6, as currently constructed, appears to a complete piece of crap." You can read the review at http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/22/brillia...s-anything-but/.

The same review also contains a link to the crash test of a Chinese SUV and the reviewer notes, "Jiangling Motors' Landwind SUV failed the same test in even more spectacular fashion in late 2005 (listen to the ADAC guys crack up after they see the Landwind result".

Landwind SUV

As for the BS6, things don't get better on the inside. Autoexpress' review found that, 'the dashboard features mismatched fake wood trim, beige leather and a shiny silver stereo. In all, it's as though you've taken a step back in time when you sit behind the wheel, ending up somewhere in the late Eighties.' (LOL)

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!

      Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
