Even simpler solution, depending upon if the carb has a nut (hs4) or a screw (hif38/44) just adjust the nut/screw a few flats/half a turn to lean off the mixture, pass the mot and then do the opposite to reset it back afterwards.

Yes the red bit is the clutch arm. The bell housing cover on a manual is a cast aluminium part on an auto it is a pressed steel part.

take the plugs out and put a squirt of oil down each bore, turn it by hand and put the plugs back in hand tight.

I just took the clutch cover off of mine and periodically turned the big flywheel bolt with a ratchet a few revolutions.

Look I am a PC man anyway. I was speaking purely based on the numbers. I am sure they are both good. I would rather choose a ps4 if it was my money

I'm a PC man too. Currently stuck to my Xbox as my GPU is away for RMA :( (should be back in the next few days though!)

I like the fact that with a bit of tweaking most games will work on a half decent machine. Obviously you don't get the exclusive titles like forza or gt6, but that shouldn't be the main reason to buy a specific console
