Re: For the FTAO of JL
I was behind a A3 with OLIO KEW going through Bolnhurst this morning. Wasn't their any Ollie Kew of this parish?
Re: EV Thread
Looking at replacing Mrs Holley's i3 as almost had it 6 years and done 83k. Battery warranty runs out at 100k miles and is a mild concern. Although she loves it, this long period of windy days has reminded her how rubbish it is in crosswinds on dual carriageways. Looked at all the potentials (has t...

Re: Which hoover?
Nice review Mik. What made you decide to pick this one out of the other brands out of interest? https://www.independent.co.uk/extras/indybest/house-garden/vacuum-cleaners/best-robot-vacuum-cleaners-b2349451.html We'd kinda narrowed it down to the Roomba J7+ or this one. The former seems to have str...

Re: Which hoover?
Following the impressively middle-aged excitement expressed by a relative recently around the convenience offered by their new robot hoover, we picked up a TP-link (Tapo) RV30 Plus a week or so back. https://mybroadband.co.za/news/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/TP-Link-Headline-Image.jpeg We wanted one...

Re: Insurance (general moaning thread)
Biggest issue for insurers has been the cost to replace fences, roof tiles, kitchens, bathrooms etc. Prices for materials haven't really come down since Covid and so the cost of a claim is much higher for an insurer. I was told by Uinsure that they've increased rates by 25% this year, Paymentshield ...
Re: EV Thread
Both Tesla (now 2 years old and 36k miles) and I3 (5 years old and 80k miles) have always been charged to 100% but mostly from home (I3 always from home). No noticeable loss in battery life in either. Have been averaging about 15k miles per year each and electric costs have been about £100 per month...

Re: CCTV Recorder
I can't see why you cannot just replace with a plug and play new PVR box. What output do the cameras have - are they IP connections? My other question would be what resolution are the cameras? If they are less than 4k then it may be worth swapping them but again you should be able to replace the ca...

CCTV Recorder
We've had our Irlab CCTV installed about 7 years ago and the digital recorder box has stopped working. Original installer hasn't returned our calls so had a different company round that was recommended by a neighbour. Wife said the technician recommended replacing the whole system at £1700 which see...

Saw these recommended by AM on watch finder - https://underd0g.com/products/01mcbr
Love a good micro brand and underd0g seem to offer something genuinely different (in a good way).

Re: Harry’s Garage
I see it's about £46k more than a base 520i. That would make sense if you're getting a proper M car with trick suspension, a special engine etc. But when it's really only extra acceleration you're getting (okay air suspension but as Jobbo points out, will be interesting to see the real difference) a...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Indeed it is. We currently live opposite a village pub and HSBC were fine with that, and the last two people who put offers in also had a mortgage approved, but obviously I don't know who the bank was. I hope it will be ok, and that the surveyors incorporate some common sense.. Who would you say is...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Didn't see it's close to a pub. We had some trouble helping a client buying a cottage near a pub (HSBC's surveyors rejected it even though it shows on there criteria as okay). For example Nationwide show - Considered - If any of the commercial activities are likely to cause a nuisance by virtue of n...

Re: Thatched roof homes
Nice! It's fairly close to us; we're in Arlesey at the minute. But as WFH is more of a thing, being near a train station/A1 etc isn't as important as it once was. Our next neighbour used to commute to London every day which seemed a bit nuts to me from Bolnhurst. Blunham is probably better if you s...
