Ok but would there be any major re-wiring etc or would it be limited to work in/around the board/box only??

Cheers Jim - really appreciate the expertise


Depends on your wiring. It’s really common to find houses with this type of board don’t have any earth wiring in the lighting circuits ...

Unfortunately you'll have to bin that whole board and start again.

I asked this before when I bought the house but can't find the response.

Our place has a fuse wire set-up, rather than Trip Switches (which I think is odd as the house was only built in 1986 but hey ho) and I'd like to get it changed. So far, touch wood, we haven't had any go but I'd sooner have ...

Given the options do you go for:
1. PSS
2. PS4S but rear star marked and front not
3. PS4S but neither axle star marked




2 or 3.

But I also fitted non n-rated tyres to our 944S2.


It’s over twenty years ago, so not necessarily how they do it now, but I did a training day at Prodrive ...

@Mito Man Totally that, I'm sure the cost of this work has gone up by at least 20% in the last ~5 years from what people in the neighbourhood have told me. Doing the work sooner, even though I don't need it, could have financial benefits.


It's an opportunity to live/work somewhere else for a ...

Just googled them, they're mental, very very cool too. Do you end up with lots of spiders in them?


What an utterly pointless thing. The aperture it comes out of the ground is seemingly the same width as the screen so you could have an unfoldable version of the same size that just rises ...

The budget is simply based upon the estimates I get. I'm looking for a firm which has a good history of recommendations/references/reviews, has been trading a long time, can give plenty of examples of previous work and who manages to identify any of the potential issues my property will face with ...

Unusually classy spec for a factory V8 defender in a development that we’re working on -

We've been doing the design on one at the moment where a £300k TV should be going in the garden...


What kind of TV costs £300k?


A C’Seed.

It needs an annual service and £35k to extend the warranty from 2-4 years…

We’ve specified a second one for the indoor pool - I do ...

I’ve been driving the berlingo while an engineer was away and found that it had horrendous understeer in the wet.
Further checks on the budget tyres showed them to be the wrong width and profile…

In that road in Hampstead they’ll typically go through a £2m refurb once bought in that condition.

Imagine the ballache of living over 5 floors. :?


Exactly.

I assume there must be some sort of status thing to the area to think that is desirable even with a zero knocked off!


We work on some that are over seven floors (after they've dig a sub-basement)! It keeps my engineers fit when ...

Didn’t the Americans have a similar tax situation in terms of using cars for YouTube, then it turned out that their tax advice was incorrect so they had huge tax liabilities and ended up selling a load of stuff?


If you can prove it's for business use why couldn't you?

Many surprising aspects to that episode...

Obviously remarkable that the XJC went for so much but also that it outdid the Espada. As nice as the XJC is, it isn't Espada levels of special in my mind.

Also eye opening that Harry could contemplate dropping 100k into it during the restoration with ...

A good investment for Harry, wonder if he’ll do a breakdown on how much the rebuild and modifications cost. Not usually something you’ll make money on unless you’re the person doing the restoration.

I’m amazed there are two people who think it’s worth that much, I thought 60k sounded pretty ...

I’m not convinced the XJ-C is a good investment. Look at the values of E-types falling.


If you want an XJ-C and have the cash it surely has to be the best available, and it would take two years and £100k to recreate it.

I'm surprised that the Espada didn't make more - they were very cheap and ...

I drive up there most week days to drop the kids off at school - I will be overtaken by every bike if I try to stay at 10mph - I'll report back!

Look for an active subwoofer that also has high-level/spealer level inputs.
Increasingly rare these days as most people are using AVRs with dedicated sub-out, but brands like KEF still offer them on some models and quite a few manufacturers have in the past if your looking at used kit.
Some have a ...

As bad as Islington. I went to park on a regular on-street bay for 1 hour, opened RingGo, added the bay number (61562) which said about £7 an hour, went through to the final screen and it said £14.25. For one hour, because diesel. On a residential street in Islington. FML.

@Jimexpl Not connected to this subject but we were in Crantock last week, the new golf driving range and restaurant came as a bit of a surprise.


Did you go? Friendly front of house staff, a decent chef in the kitchen and great views.
I am not a golfer, but we have spent a bit of time there as ...
