Nice! I got a pair of those niwakis for my OH as sewing thread snips and she loves them.

In the process of bringing back my 20 year old A8 to it's former glory (it's been sitting around for a year+). I thought tyres would be an easy one. Booked it in to get 4 new Goodyear Vector 4Seasons (Halfords deal at National Tyres ) and the tyre shop guys said they couldn't get the wheel nuts off. "They're so tight. we'll injure ourselves".

Collect it and take it to a local tyre specialist to remove them, he rings soon after and says "done, just used the bar to loosen them. Who couldn't get them off?! They must be soft!". Equals 1 hours labour, £54. So now gotta go back again tomorrow to get the tyres done. Not quite the bargain I had first thought!

Love these. Went to see one last year but my OH wasn't keen. The rear seats which fold into the floor are ace!

Do you think you could fit a boot lid mounted bike rack to it? Or a towbar?

Are Carbon Ti hubs quieter than 240EXP?

Most likely! Let me get the P1s up and running first...

Can anyone recommend an accountant to deal with things related to our freehold company? e.g Issuing share certificates, dealing with the transfer to new director/share of freeholder.

Caved and ordered the P1S with AMS!

These are £147 at Tiso.com. Ordered a pair, hopefully they live up to the hype!

Yep, but the 2S all seem to be longer. It's as thou they've put the 2 cells against each other and other batteries have them along side...

like this (I guess I could just order direct but shipping says 1 month). All the similar V and mah ones I can find seem to be longer in length.

Battery on my shitty WLToys 2428 mini crawler is dead but I'm struggling to find a replacement that looks like it will fit and available in the UK.

Any suggestions?

Had a Sovol Sv06 for a year now but really tempted by a bambu lab printer on their current BF deal. I was all set on the P1S but seems alot of extra money for I'm not sure what compared to the A1 (or even the mini). And from what I've read the A1 seems newer tech.

Why would you get the P1S?

Also, do I go AMS or no? is it worth it?

Looks like they replaced the Nox Sensor... "Nox Sensor - Repl Nox Sensor - Cleared Fault Codes", which would explain the £311. I had mine replaced a few months ago on my Berlingo. Seems to be a common problem.

You'll get a adblue warning light on the rev counter and possibly a EML, if it was an adblue problem. You can't really neglect the adblue. If its run out, it will tell you and give you a countdown in miles to the engine not starting.

You should be able to read the codes with a normal reader to get somewhat of an idea. It's just usually certain functions you can't perform without lexia/diagbox. I bought a TopDon ArtiDiag800BT to use on my Berlingo after having to wait weeks for even a diagnostics appt at Citroen. Seems to be able to do most things, recently reinitialised part of the adblue system with it which seemed to fix an intermittent warning light.

Thanks, that's super helpful!

So it's just information and the only thing I would potentially do is acknowledge receipt?

2 flat share of freehold property. The other flat is selling up. As the joint freeholder I'm being asked by the seller's solicitor (on behalf of the buyer's solicitor) if I/we the landlord charge a fee for receipting the Notice of Transfer.

I'm guessing the answer is no in this case but it's made me think that if there is a charge should I be doing something with this document when received?

My two old ones are the other way round too.

Tbh that new way sounds better! And matches most other Chinese flashlight ui's (probably why they changed it)

Good point, I'd probably look into E350 estates for just motorway cruising. I wasn't totally clear, it's for the motorway comfort and also for pretending to be a local up here in the Lakes (but not driving a SUV). Plus they definitely look cooler than a V70.

As much as I rate them a Honda Accord tourer is not a AWD XC70. It is cheap: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202411136263319 but kinda need this car to be reliable. I think I'll look into the 90k used approved option.

Kinda bored of driving our Berlingo down the M1 for 5 hours, it's just a bit too agricultural sometimes.

Am I asking for trouble buying a 2013 XC70 which has 165k miles? Private seller has owned it for 10 years and says its full (non dealer) service history.

Love those Auer euro containers. Did a wall of them in my office last year (no lids) from their B Stock so some were random colours from when they change dye(?) on the production line.

Would the ones with lids be as sturdy as a Systainer thou?

@IdealStandard I've used one for a few audaxs instead of my dynamo setup. Used it on LEL as well and took 4 spare batteries. Worked great.

If you're gonna buy spare 21700 get decent ones, like from https://www.torchy.co.uk/product-category/21700-batteries/ (targeted towards vape users now)

Thought to go there for my 40th earlier this year as we live 20 mins away now! Thou having a 5 month old at the time it defo wasn't gonna happen. Once she's old enough for solid grand parent baby sitting will have to think about it again.

Interesting! looking forward to seeing this too. A mustard Atom Sl has been my favourite autumn/winter commuting jacket (and just all round jacket) for the past 8 years.

Used to love this film! still got a vid file of it somewhere on my nas.
