Washer jets diagnosed as a faulty one way valve. Pushed the two pieces of pipe together for now until the new one arrives. £2.29 posted for the new one.

Dropped off the new A/C condenser at the body shop and had a look round the car - sills aside, it's absolutely solid everywhere and is in remarkable shape. Discovered the headlight washers weren't connected but aside from that, no major dramas. Think I'm going to have to stump up for a new windscre...

Be a shame if monitoring and prosecuting this stuff was more complicated than just a hashtag or two, eh? And if Twitter had, through firings and people leaving due to Musks atrocious managemen style, left just a skeleton crew to deal with such a complex problem. https://www.latimes.com/business/sto...

I do have a barely used Suunto 9 Baro I could sell for much cheapness as I think my days of ultra running are over ;) If I wasn't a brainwashed Apple nerd, even I'd probably go for a Garmin Fenix these days as they seem to be so far ahead of Suunto now. I was looking at the 9 Baro, I'd never seen S...

Unfortunately inpa won’t do it so I need to find something else. Given that it’s lived most of its life around London, and how unworn the gear was compared to so many I’ve seen, I’m struggling to believe the box itself could be that worn, which is why I’m still tempted to try a whole new actuator. ...

My galaxy active 2 has died due to water ingress (went swimming with and despite it being ip67 rated it leaked and has died) as we were on a long weekend break insurance look like it might cover it. Not keen on another Samsung after this and the failure of my note 10 so I'm looking elsewhere. Apple ...

Damn, had a funny feeling their tour in 2019 might be their last with at least their mostly original (post Peter green) line up. Glad we were there to experience it. I always thought that John might go first as he did look frail after all those years of drinking. RIP and thanks for the music Christi...

The pickup in the washer fluid tank often gets clogged with slime, check that out first. If it's a broken pipe you should see fluid dripping out under the car. Yep, I was going in for the tank first as it's easy to get to via the grill, so hopefully like you say a good clean and it will be sorted. ...

TVR doesn't like E10 well cheap supermarket E10. Figured as we were doing a 350 mile round trip on mostly motorways to Norfolk I'd fill up with E10 as I'd burn it all and it was easy going. For the first half a tank it was fine but as it got under 1/2 a tank it started playing up with a distinct cou...

If BMW were to hire the entire Rocket Bunny styling dept it would be the right move. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kx-ETIEeiIc/maxresdefault.jpg A billionty percent want over anything new from Munich. You could argue that trying to fix anything out current of Munich is an exercise in turd polishing though...

I'm going to have to google it aren't I?

C'mon Mike, even at nearly 50 I know who Rocket Bunny are (and Liberty Walk) although I wish I didn't.

Tried the Aldi specially selected almond topped mince pie tarts an interesting twist on the seasonal fave. Even the wife enjoyed them and she usually dislikes any shop bought mince pie. It's only in recent years I've started to like them (probably along with when I started to like real ales) as my t...

FWIW I find the stair step cross trainer type thing burns the most and works up the biggest sweat when I go to the gym, I don't like the normal elliptical cross trainers as they feel odd and restrictive as I like to stride more. Bike is OK as is the treadmill (that I use at lower speeds as I can't r...

As for ads, I use ublock on the laptop and have PiHole for network level blocking which catches most ads on most things - worth a look if it really annoys you. I was told about this by a guy in our office the other day when I mentioned that we were exceeding our 360meg bandwidth (well at least acco...

Only one of our use cases fits with an EV, the wifes van and I'm sure as shit not putting 30k+ into a dog van.

Would have another Berlingo if we were forced to change but would prefer something with a little petrol lump rather than derv.

So I found a bargain (I think) and took a gamble on it. Gigabyte G5, i5 11400 6 core processor, 6gb RTX3060, 16gb dam, 512 gb ssd, rgb keyboard. Was on the Currys outlet on ebay, damaged box, 200 quid off, and a 75 quid coupon as well, £611 all in, free delivery. It's in Currys for £899 on their no...
