By the way, have Autotrader removed the feature that compares the price of the car you're looking at with others with similar mileage and also I can't find the price history anymore?
They've tried. But it still works for me on Firefox

Re: Your fleet running reports

Oh yeah and the rear wash doesn't work on the 135i, and apparently checking the motors is a wheel off, inner arch out, entire wing off job. Think I'll live with a mucky rear screen for now :lol: I assume you've tried just cleaning the jets? :P I'm not getting a response from the motor when trying t...

Re: 6 Nations

Fra Eng game was great to watch. England threw it away though - with 4mins left on the clock why would you kick it to the opposition when you're ahead but only by 1pt?

I was worried it might be something like that. Not least as I have no fucking clue what that is :lol: Anyway, it was much more straightforward. It just needed to be used. Phoned the parents on it last night, wondering if using it for more than just a quick "does it dial through to my mobile&quo...

I’d personally prefer to have an orangery type structure, which houses a pool, hot tub, cold plunge and gym https://www.westburygardenrooms.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/pool-house-walled-garden-1024x576.jpg Similar to the above, but more ornate, and I’d want the option for everything to open at t...

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

I wouldn't bother with an outdoor swimming pool here, let alone Ireland! Quite Mind, I'm not really a fan of these sorts of places. They might look great on Insta, or on screen when they've been rented out for filming purposes, but they have zero appeal to me as a place to live. Was interesting las...

Re: Your fleet running reports

Had the pulleys done on the 330 yesterday. Tensioner and idler, along with new belt obvs, and also an oil service. 18years and 136k on the original pulleys and they still weren't in too bad condition. Tensioner one is a bit noisy an the idler one a bit gritty feeling, but the main reason for replaci...

Re: The (mainly city-focussed) anti-car movement

It's really not difficult to understand his point is it? Cycling UK is a charity setup to inspire people to take up cycling, "to fight climate change" (selectively quoted by me). One can therefore easily infer that their main focus or raison d'etre is centred on getting the general populou...

Some progress has been made. Following supply of a couple of additional bits of info from IDNet, I managed to get our Gigaset base station to register the service yesterday. So last night I paired the handset and tested it out - outbound calls successfully made! However, incoming not working. Comes ...

And that 40yd reverse pass from Le Garrec...! I was busy all weekend, so games watched properly = 0. I did however turn on the tellybox and find that game on - about 20secs before that pass was made. I couldn't work out what the 4uck had happened :shock: until they showed the slomo :lol: . Fabulous...

Re: 6 Nations

Anyone watch the Wal v Fra match? Was brilliant for the neutral - tit for tat for much of the game, but France prevailed in the end. Lots of young talent on the field from both sides as well (as also in the Eng team) so the future looks bright. And that 40yd reverse pass from Le Garrec...! https://w...

Re: Randomness

I’m calling bullshit. Let’s assume it’s true that it both locked on full throttle and wouldn’t shift from drive to neutral. I refuse to believe that the mechanical brakes also refused to work. I accept that - if you don’t really understand how brakes work - you could squeeze them and get everything...

Either way, shocking that they've suspended the accuser. A lot of people are complaining that it's two consenting adults, but unfortunately it's not that simple when one of them is a boss. It basically proves, should proof be needed, that if you have enough money you can basically do whatever you l...

Re: Euromillions immediate purchase

I think what money really 'buys' you is more free time and the removal of stresses. Like others with kids, we couldn't just move anywhere, but we'd immediately go and get my wife and I new cars, throw in the job, then start to hire people to free up our time. So a chef, a gardener, a housekeeper, e...
