Any recommendations of how to scrap a car?

Was due to take it (2007 VW touran, with 207k on the clock) to we buy any car this morning but a flat battery/knackered starter motor means it still sat on the street outside our house.

Is it just a case of ringing a local scrap yard?

Just tried to start a vanguard Sipp to combine a couple of old work pension pots. It's asking me to pay £500 into the Sipp to start it up.

Does anyone know whether there is a way round this? I'd like to combine the old pots but don't have a spare £500 to chuck into a pension pot.

If you upload one of the activities to Strava it may suggest you did it at the same time as someone?

Or it should give you a good idea of where they live if then run from home regularly

Not sure if it fits the bill for a student car, but we might be getting rid of a 2007 VW Touran in a month or 2. Got 207k on the clock, but a very detailed service history and passed the last two MOTs with advisorys. Can send more details if needed.

(P.S. I was also keen on the no longer available Honda Jazz!)

You're right, my mistake. Will update the post.

Plumbing. Any tips on how to remove abasin tap?

A mate got these, fitted cleats, then realised they didnt fit. Turns out they don't fit me either. They may fit you.

I'll take the bars please. Pm incoming.

I've used it a bit. It does help, you can still feel the cold from under just less draught/draft.

If you haven't sanded already I would look at lifting the boards and adding insulation. Alternatively, you could look at using timber slivers before sanding.

I wish I'd insulated under when I did it now.

This is a good call Do you have a link to the Ali express can you ordered? I would think the basic one from Toolstation may also be up to the job.

We live in the ground floor of a split Victoria terrace (both flats leasehold). Our ceiling lights stopped working a couple days ago and finally got an electrician round to take a look. One of the light fittings in the hallway had a bit of water on it which had caused the circuit to cut out.

There aren't any widespread signs of water damage (no ceiling stains etc). Electrician said its likely from a leaky pipe opposed to a roof leak as there is so little water. I'm tending to agree with him.

Are the next steps just to get a hold of the guy from upstairs (fairly illusive bloke) and get him to open his floors to look? I'm dammed if I am going to start ripping out our ceilings (unless home insurance pays).
