    Or maybe they just don’t like racists

    2015 is a T5.1 with a 2.0 TDI.  I would run a check on the reg number

    Total speculation here, but since the chiggle fire sale I have spent precisely zero on bike stuff, or camping gear or wetsuits for that matter!

    how widely would that be replicated (with millions of pounds in stock being dumped recently ) to see some consumer fatigue?

    Harris appears to be generating some serious early traction with donations and as shown above is also moving the polls.

    interesting that Trump didn’t get a huge bump from the shooting, just shows that his base is very sticky (they would have to be by now!) but swing voters are easily… swung? Swayed?

    anyway, I feel a bit more confident about November than I did before the weekend

    T shirts coming back into stock or are they actually, er, limited edition?

    have the members discounts disappeared, or am I just crap?

    IMG_2551Lost our best dog at 16, they sure do leave a hole when they are gone.

    Still miss him but have so many great memories of a treasured friend.

    Agree, struggling to see any upside to Labour here and waiting on the ‘new information has come to light’ suspension and back track

    I have no idea why the BBC persists with a corporately selected song.   If we are going to come last let’s at least be collectively responsible !

    Also note that Irish Ferries did a similar thing circa 2005

    Out Skoda 2.0 diesel is bang on 148k

    turbo went at 60k, clutch replaced at 90k, timing belt replaced at 110k. So apart from wear and tear and suspension components I’m hoping to avoid any big ticket spend for at least another 50k

    I find this actually quite horrible. She along with her daft acolytes almost crashed the economy and continue to cause a huge percentage of the country financial harm through increased mortgage payments if not more.  That she is not treated as a pariah sickens me TBH

    @sharkattack I gave just noticed that a guy on eBay does repairs for those units, if you search

    SKODA YETI 2015 2016 2017 SAT NAV MEDIA UNIT DISPLAY TOUCH SCREEN REPAIR SERVICE

    looks like around £130 and you could message him with your issue first

    You can buy the Skoda RNS310 head unit pretty cheaply on eBay. Get one with a code obviously and also make sure that the MAC address on the outside chassis has a code and is not all zeros.  That way it will have built in Bluetooth and not need the separate module.

    it was less than a couple of hours to replace a head unit on my 2012 yeti with one and that included fitting the gps aerial and microphone into the roof light cluster.  Although I don’t know what year yours is or whether it will have the newer component protection

    On holiday in Spain and it’s terrific.  IANAE but  sometimes it feels like we get a crappier version of everything in the UK

    There really is nothing left on their website. Unless they have more stock in transit I can imagine the administrators completely pulling the plug within a few days.

    Nice set of prime deep carbon wheels  just arrived for £269 and code worked ok.

    talking an ex employee seems like less than £4M in stock left at wiggle warehouse.

    It’s really useful to spread purchase it 0% and there is literally zero catch as well unless you miss a payment.

    even if the  order is cancelled the refund process works out easily as well

    Revolut have a handy facility where you can generate a one time use card for online payments.

    They can be quite sophisticated, I had my card skimmed in a petrol station. Fraudulent transactions picked up by my bank and all sorted but the real sneaky bit was the scammers rang me two weeks later pretending to be from my bank… of course they had details of the previous dodgy transactions and they obviously knew I had just received a new card etc.  nearly fell for it

    They got MOTd and then run through a major auction house would be my guess

    ETA: assuming they are lease company vehicles. If they are main dealer leased then Probably end up on the forecourt

    Don’t ring them, it will just give them more info on you. Block and move on.  If you insist on ringing them then don’t give out and personal info would be my advice.

    The tax rules were tightened up a bit to catch out PHEVs in name only. EV range is now part of the calculation

    AINAE but are double cabs with 500kg payload a bit of a UK thing than sprang up in response to the tax saving ?  They seem to be pretty flashy rather than utilitarian.

    Some nonsense being spoken on here.

    NI cars are UK spec cars and the registration documents come from Swansea.  They are MOTd and taxed in exactly the same way apart from the fact that MOT stations are government run.

    loads of ‘uk’ reg cars over here as well. The single difference is the NI reg. think of it as a crap private plate for free.

    All this talk of imports and resale values will have the DUP walking out for another couple of years.

    RoI cars will have KPH speedometers and require importing but that it totally different.

    ETA: resale values of some models can be higher in NI due to the smaller market and cost of travelling to other parts of the UK. What the OP is contemplating often happens in reverse.

    OP, glad you have a plan. And I think it’s very good that you have apologised for what was said.

    hopefully you find something else to do, and eventually someone else to do it with.

    maybe replace your trip with a bit of bike packing somewhere warm? Embrace a spirit of adventure and opportunity to do something completely different.

    Appreciate that some of the responses can be seen as harsh, but for me, and I expect others, we have been in similar situations either ourselves or with close friends and there are a number of clear warning signs on display.

    Better to be honest and hopefully OP can see that it is intended to clearly show that he needs to move on with his life and change his expectations around his ex-friends behaviour.

    Yes you are being unreasonable in your feelings towards her. She broke up with you years ago. In your head your ‘relationship’ broke up a month ago. But that never existed in reality beyond friendship and unrequited love.

    whether she has broken an unwritten club rule in bringing a partner is another matter. But you appeared to have extended it anyway by previously planning on flying out sooner.

    considering that you obviously think it’s ok  for her to fly out earlier with you (if solo) , are you staying at the same place as her? She may find it all a bit weird and stalkery.
