Brilliant. Please could you pm it to me.

Sites now redirecting to evans.

Annoyingly I didn’t note the terms of  returns- anybody got a screen grab with the email address as the new splash page doesn’t give any details other than the Evans link.

Be getting on middle of the day in Edinburgh

Do the trains have bike spaces or are you just in the door way?

@alansd1980 Thames link say no bikes until 10am. But sounds like they didn’t enforce then? Albeit I wouldn’t want to be on a packed commuter with a bike unless there’s a spot outside of the door area for one

Journey is epsom to King’s Cross. Well actually epsom to Edinburgh but I’m assuming I can get a bike in the King’s Cross To Edinburgh train.

I don’t have to go to Vauxhall, that’s just where National rail route says to get on the tube.

I’m not looking to ride in to London from epsom. I was planning to try and get going fairly early to arrive early afternoon. So would be some peak travel so that might not be possible with a bike. I could aim to get through London before 7 though.

Is there a Cycle path?

Was planning to travel with it assembled but not to ride across London.

The time restriction is a pain. One train arriving before 7 am in St Pancras but a tad early departure!

Thanks all.

I know I’ll be able to see if it’s a good deal at the time but it’s too late then if my business case is predicated on a purchase price akin to auction sale price (say).

I probably have bikes to work operation in my head a bit, where purchase price is a fraction of market value, which obviously doesn’t apply here.

cRC had some fohn ones for about 20 to 30 depending on size. might be too late now.

Was the portal working last Monday? Now looks To be send it back under your own steam and include a list of what you have returned..

Anybody returned anything recently?!

Guessing somewhat of a gamble now that it doesn’t get ignored.

Quick update. I’m a bit confused why some apps worked but not others.

Whilst waiting for the Apple TV I’d ordered, having got fed up with faffing around, I wondered if the WiFi signal despite being recorded as good/excellent by the Roku was the problem so have connected it to a WiFi extender rather than the mesh and this seems to have started the apps that stopped working. Very odd though as the apps did work and then stopped but no charge to the position of the tv or mesh WiFi points.

Hmm – it’s odd that the Roku is problematic for us. We’ve had two now, the original and the 4K one.

Sounds like motor brushes need replacing.

If you are happy to tinker then I think it is straight forward task and can often get to the motor and brushes from the bottom by tilting the machine back 45 degrees or so, no need to take it apart.

I’m sure YT will have a video showing how to do it And the same for almost all machines I expect. Google motor brushes for your model number.

Obviously brushes is just a guess and it might be something else so only do so if you’re comfortable with the risk. If not get an electrician or new machine.

@zomg Those Holbrook look pretty good. I couldn’t work out how to select the transitions option via rx website though-just sapphire, black, bronze and grey.

Thanks all. The buzzrack racer or Halfords look good in terms of 4 bikes and plenty of space between them. But fitting on a LLS 29er with 130cm wheel base vs the 119cm max?

Those that go big, don’t forget dishwasher space.

With ours I found it got a greasy residue when cooking oven chips that was very hard to clean off the basket mesh without putting it in the dishwasher. No idea capacity but it’s a pretty bulky thing.

Thanks- Sounds like I need to check the fuses a bit more thoroughly.

Nothing plugged in to the usb. The radio and CD and interface and menus all work, it’s just the Bluetooth, usb port and phone menus within the interface that have all stopped working.

I suspect your sync is newer than mine- it has never asked to be updated and I’m not sure if it can be.

I’m assuming that auto fuses are obvious when blown as I didn’t test continuity, just by eye.

Have you consider what the causes of the flash points are any commonalities?

Do you set clear expectations when they are regulated? Or spring the sanction when the behaviour is ‘bad’.

Do You actively praise good behaviour, no matter how small. Do you spend quality time with them to maintain rapport ?

Are they neuro divergent?

Pick your battles- is all Behaviour die in a ditch problem. This can be difficult if you and parent B don’t agree where the ditch is.

Tried resetting the sync by pressing and holding the power and skip button. It says “reset transmitted to sync module” or something like that but then the message must get lost in translation somewhere as it doesn’t fix the problem.

I also saw a sync reset method where you open the drivers door and then lock it and then shut it but I’m not sure this is possible as it unlocks immediately as is knows the door is open.

Any other suggestions?

Datalink and the two audio fuses look ok

Wof1 – thanks, tried there but seems only the £65 genuine ones are sold as fitting. Others might be identical but no way to tell without a trial and error approach as the model number doesn’t return a hit.

I did but didn’t find them very reliable in connecting although it was a few years ago I used them.

I actually tried to revive them a few weeks ago as my wife keeps losing he key and then the spare one by putting in new batteries as the ones i have you can replace the battery. However they refused to connect to any device and can’t be reset once paired and tile weren’t interested. I personally wouldn’t get them again but they might have improved.

One thing to consider is do they rely on others having tile app installed, if they do then they will presumably have a relatively low success rate compared to something like AirTag.

They told me 23 was a threshold level, did you get packed off for that?

Opticians-large high street. Routine eye test. History of high ish pressures. Often slightly raised 25 ish before the exam and then 22/23 on retest after.

Ta. I used a tooth brush and some ipa to clean the comm, took a brush off and inspected it and I think it might be a bit bette for now.

I was thinking that re brushes but looking at the one I took off, the face doesn’t look totally uniform, as if the block of carbon isn’t a rectangular cross section and has a bit of a lump to it on the long side.

I can see why they might do it – but still felt a bit off, guilty until proven innocent.

Was a whole house rental so not like there was a risk of nicking their left over cottage pie from the fridge when checking out.

I think there is an attitude to risk angle here too.

Some might be able to afford at this current moment in time to work less or get a better car, big holiday etc but will keep that money to pay the mortgage or mend the boiler etc in case they lose their job or interest rates shoot up. Others in the same position not worried about the future in the same way crack on and splash the cash.

This worry about money (or lack of it), rational or irrational can then impact how much of the mill you put yourself through with a job.

Who funds it or is the idea to get the council to think it’s a good idea for the community and so they do?

Is the underlying issue that the op is anxious that the car is going to break down and this is causing him stress. Whereas partner is more relaxed- when it breaks we’ll either fix it or buy another sort of attitude. So it’s not a money issue.

If that is the case maybe try setting it out like that ie I’m worried it will break down and would sleep easier at night, focus at work better if we got a new one. Rather than it ‘might’ break down. It then becomes a double empathy problem, can see she put her self in your shoes to appreciate you are stressed about it.

Any car ‘might’ break down, even a newer one. So As a general rule the car you have is usually the cheapest option over a newer one unless someone catastrophic fails. That is unless you are RNP when people seem to give him cars for a fraction of the amount WBAC would give them even if the thing was a battered wreck!

Pinking is the terminology…

I have wondered this in the past for electric car charging in the absence of a proper car power point. I.e. Two 13amp plugs.

some how rather than installing shotcut I ended up getting duped into an install of fast! that must have been an ad or pop up on the page. Feeling a bit stoopid now and worrying about what malware I’ve just acquited, I had just assumed that was the name of the application. facepalm.

I thought there was an installed one but couldn’t seem to find it / remember it’s name!  Doesn’t look like it is anymore though.

I’ll give shotcut a go.

thanks all.

L2h2 feels like it’s getting a bit less practical for the school run when needed, on the flip side giving more space and seems much cheaper than a t6 with some change for a car!

Did you contract or Diy the conversion @stwhannah

Richard I think you’ve described perfectly what I was trying to do a bit ‘meh’ to have passengers so far back.

We don’t use the big car much so it would be that second car so does need to be semi practical which puts a large van out.

@ped Those removable kitchen units- what does that mean for classification as a camper and so speed limits etc. plus are they practical/light enough to remove / install when needed.

Prices – agree are not good. Id like a relatively low mileage 6.1 auto lwb but pricing might prohibit this. I still can’t get my head around high mileage vans being fitted with brand new conversions!

I do now. Apologies for the spam post.
