How did you find that out? Surely a statement like that would demand extensive research to back it up? An authored & peer reviewed paper in Nature would be a minimum, with other published source material including ISBN reference numbers & full bibliography,
I would be interested to read it, providing odour suppression & HazMat was provided.

😁😁😁😁

It is a fact!
We went on a dog sleigh trip over in the States for a day.
It was the hardest day of my life!!
My good lady was ensconced in the sled, fully cosseted from the wind and snow blizzard around us and shielded from the -20 degrees of cold whilst I had the grand job of being the dog handler and Pilot of 6 dogs and the forementioned sledge.
They really do fart..non stop..in sync sometimes. I'm not sure if my eyes watered more from the farting or the blizzard.
There is one thing to know about these dogs..they are very, very smart and once you come up to a hill they all turn around and look at you telling you that they are not going to pull you and the wife up the hill and one of you has to get off and push!
That would be me then.
It was so unbelievably hard to push that sledge with the wife screaming "Mush..mush" as much directed at me as the dogs.
So I got my back in to it and the dogs did too..we were all straining and that's when the farting really started...
Never, ever again.

Given then that methane is around 10 times more powerful greenhouse gas than co2, are we targeting the wrong vehicles in order to reduce climate change?
Should we in fact be electrifying sledges and reducing our reliance on huskies?

You raise a valid point. Is it just a coincidence that this greenhouse gas problem has come to the fore during the uptake of curry as a staple.

Replaced rusty and mismatched screws and bolts under the bonnet with the stainless ones from MGFnTFbits. Having done that, thought, I need to change the radiator mounts and catch plate which they also supply in powder coated black so ordered them and some rear light covers ...

Powder coating is nice, lamp covers border on an imperative.
IIRC the threads are M5, arm yourself with another half dozen nuts & place the covers over your present fixings, securing with those six.
There is every possibility your lamp clusters are water tight, removing them to fix the covers would in all probability break that seal & you’ve just created another job.

8mm according to a video I've just watched - and yeah - I'll be leaving the existing fixings and just screwing these on top. Cheers
