Re: EV Thread

Aero and tyres are an easy gain but joe bloggs wants an electric X5 with 295 width tyres. There needs to be a reset of what people want aesthetically to make EV's work. The Model Y and the new Polestar 4 seem to be progress by giving people lofty driving position, airy cabin but in a suv coupe type ...

Re: Lexus image in the UK

The performance versions are always highly regarded by journalists and amongst car guys but you're never going to be the coolest guy on the estate. But those who know, know and i like that 8-) I'm sure the Lexus experience is the next step up but the way my daughter has been looked after buying an 8...

Re: 6 Nations

Dupont is clearly a massive player for them.

It will be interesting to see how the tournament progresses without him.

Re: 6 Nations

Just recording data at the moment I believe. The current tech is in a pod on back between shoulder blades which is obviously not ideal for recording head or whiplash type injuries.

I'm really looking forward to it but it's not going to be a great year for Wales.

Re: Smart Thermostats

I believe we used the simpler version like this that directly replaces what you have. Not had any complaints from tenants and to be honest they don't look that bright here if you went down this route and added functionality later. You can also get one with a receiver to replace what you have and a w...

Re: Smart Thermostats

If that's a controller and thermostat shirley you can wire a smart receiver there and put a thermostat/controller wherever you want.

We've used Tado on the rentals in similar replacements.

Re: Wales 20mph limit

I'm pretty sure lots of what's was 30 until recently was NSL during the 90s. These are lightly enforced at 30 but painfully slow at 20! I've done about 200 miles this week with my learner son and we get overtaken in a 20 each day! It is intimidating to the point where on the last 2 occasions I've as...

Re: Today’s want

You can't keep the full extended warranty beyond 100k miles must be a factor.

I'd happily pay the £100 a month running one with a warranty though.

Re: Midlife Crisis Cars

There's no context there.

The reality is many of those would have had interesting stuff prior to kids/wife messing it up and then they get back on the horse when the kids are grown up or their wife has left 😂😎
