Flow rate and pressure are different things.

Assuming bad flow rate: this requires a wider aperture, I doubt your taps would have a wider aperture than the tails used to attach them, but there's a slim chance. Your tap might have come with a manual showing the diameter at the base of the tap, is it equivalent to the tail diameter, etc? Also: Did your plumber fit new isolating valves? If so, were they full-bore ones?

Assuming bad pressure: you can increase pressure with improved plumbing to the taps: less friction, shorter run, wider supply to key taps, etc.

Both mild hybrid and plug-in hybrid Volvos have regenerative braking, or are you asking something else?

The best would be Polestar's load bars for the PS2, or Thule do a decent mounting system too. Thule via eBay is probably your cheapest place to buy that (plus the MTB kit).

But the very cheapest would be any rear mounted setup, halfords style...

Unfortunately UK public charging isn't cheaper than petrol anymore.

I'd go with an efficient ICE and save for some sort of home solar/charging setup for a future EV.

Or, if you're really keen I'd look at the Skoda Enyaq IV 60/80, VW ID 4, or Hyundai Ioniq 5 at ~30k miles (ideally for~£22k) and sell at 60/70k miles for the most favourable devaluation (currently ~£20k, but probably ~£15k in 2-3 years time).

The reason EVs are so expensive and why so many car companies are interested in software/subscriptions now is because the servicing revenue for EVs is non-existent.

Buying an efficient ~60mpg ICE vehicle makes more sense than buying a PHEV in my opinion.

EV plus solar at home is the ideal as it has the cheapest maintenance/service costs, less environmental impact and the free 'fuel' offsets the cost of ownership.

How about an ex-lease EV (~30,000 miles) with a plan to sell it on again at 60,000 miles? Battery capacity would be ~99%. What's your budget?

The higher the better, but in reality this is all you need for ply, or mdf (40T, or 'fine cross cut'):

Speed of cut and correct depth of blade have a much bigger impact on finish above 40T, despite what some marketeers would have you believe.

Before cement board was in vogue everyone used plywood and flexible adhesives so I expect you'll be fine. The rating for tile adhesive flexibility is S1 for smaller tiles and S2 for large tiles (S2 being more flexible).

Exterior over window shading is the way to reduce over heating (if allowed). It only shades during summer (when the sun is high in the sky), never needs to be opened/closed, is more efficient than an interior solution and costs less than treated glass.

It looks quite tight (option 1 between shower and bath, option 2 between toilet and bath).

Are you dead against merging the bath and shower?

Best practice for anything moisture-related seems to be cement board now (22mm floors, 12mm walls, t&g with adhesive).

Also the quality of marine ply isn't what it used to be...

Keep the cable direction going directly above/below the socket so future inhabitants know where not to drill...

Remember to PVA any dusty bricks at either end and to pass your airtight layer underneath dividing walls (where possible).

I can recommend the Dupont single-sided acrylic tape. It comes in a couple of different widths and you can find a box of 8 rolls for ~£100 on eBay.

Poo is dark red-yellow.

Doesn't look like anything is holding the handle on other than the grub screw:

Typically people like to have a view from the sink, but perhaps that's a little 'old school' now due to dishwashers, etc.

I'd be keen to reduce the visual impact/importance of the extractor fan, if possible?

Fridge to sink journey feels a little high-effort currently? Where's your main prep area going to be?

Pidgin is great, but perhaps over budget? If heading that way I'd consider the Little Duck on Dalston Lane too...

@mashton Sorry you had a bad experience. This kind of contract constraint comes from market-specific financiers.

Have you test driven the MG4? What did you think of the creep/auto vibe and handling?

For ~25% more money I'd go for the PS2 every time, but I'm bias (as I work there) and I hate tall-handling vehicles... the RWD single motor variant is especially fun!

Go for a test drive! They give you 90mins as standard from beneath Battersea Power Station.

The rearview mirror approach enabled a more spacious interior and better rear visibility, typically this class of vehicle has a very small rear window with poor visibility...

We're launching the Polestar 4 today, any thoughts?

Anyone in the market for an Omega Speedmaster 'First Omega In Space' (with box and papers)?

Worn a handful of times. Selling as I need to replace our car which has died in France...

Nice, eBay or somewhere else?
