I was quite taken by this earlier. Nice enough size and good location. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/146127707?utm_campaign=property-details&utm_content=buying&utm_medium=sharing&utm_source=copytoclipboard#/&channel=RES_BUY https://media.rightmove.co.uk/182k/181613/146127707...

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24

Just to get this straight for the rest of us fossil-burners - Can I re-tax my car right now at the current rate (£395 for Band K) and at least put off the 5% increase until next March?

Re: Decent Recent TV

Shōgun Really enjoying this. I'm 4 eps in and it manages to keep a decent pace but not be too frenetic and it allows the scenery and atmosphere to some through. I'm still a bit unsure of whether Cosmo Jarvis is a bit too hammy for my liking - it's like he's trying to play an amped up Tom Hardy play...

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24

No. But it does mean that the first time you will have to pay VED is 01-Mar- 2026 , which just delays the start of this cycle for you to as late a point as possible. Not 2025? No - because the new VED rates are applicable as of 01-Apr-2025. (See the RAC link in my original post). Doing what is sugg...

Re: Home CCTV

We've an Arlo doorbell and they do cameras as well, with solar add on. They also still have a very reasonable subscription charge compared to the bigger name rivals. I haven't got a camera, just the doorbell, but very happy with the app and the quality of footage. Call me a tin foil hatter but I wan...

It's pretty distasteful really. As soon as it became apparent that they were going to struggle to put out more content they should have been cutting their Patreons. I'm not sure what options are available to those running on Patreon, whether they can set subs costs to zero so they can keep their acc...

Hey, how many miles between rebuilds on either the Nissan or Lucid lumps? I couldn’t care less, I’m over 640,000 total miles on the 4 of mine and only 1 failed cambelt tensioner pulley causing actual damage. What’s the failure point of an electric motor? It will be years till cost effective motor r...

Re: EV Thread

Parkers must be showing old data - BMW’s own site shows the new shape 530e to be 2080kg. The new 520i non-hybrid is 1800kg. I did wonder if Parkers simply wasn't up to date. So the new 5 phev is 300kg heavier than the outgoing model? I assume that's a bigger battery then and more like a proper phev...

Re: EV Thread

530 is a phev now as is the merc e300 at 2210kg. I'm not here to argue on the internet just pointing out it's not any heavier than an ICE equivalent. Yeah the 530e at 1770 is what Parkers list - I e. the phev. I don't really care as they all weigh far too much imo, but I feel I have to be all Rich ...

Re: EV Thread

They only sell hybrids 530's in the UK at 2080kg your figures are US market. At 1910kg the RWD Inonic6 is not noteworthy of being heavy for a car of its size. ETA they are similar in size 5m long, 3m wheelbase and 2m wide. Parkers quotes the 330e at 1770kg, and 1540kg for the no longer available 53...
