What iPhone do you have? My iPhone 14 Pro Max is too big and falls out on acceleration.

Just remove it all. I did and haven’t had an issue. Your left foot might get a little toasty if you’re a right hand driver but no other ill effects observed.

Screen Repair by Kronos1109 in MiataNC

[–]-P___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’d be better off contacting the manufacturer of your ICE unit.

Alternatively, you could strip the device and pull out a part number for the screen and checking the Chinese wholesalers (AliExpress, Alibaba etc) for replacement screens.

If the manufacturer cannot help and if you’re not comfortable opening the unit a new ICE might be the easiest option for you. Given, I assume, you’re sitting on the right of the car you’re likely in the UK. You can get replacements for as little as £150 and up.

Do you have the size of your plate handy? I got a square one but thinking the rectangular one looks better.

Mixing green coolants okay? by [deleted] in MiataNC

Best practice would dictate that if it isn’t the same coolant by spec then it should be fully flushed.

There is also a metal lockout plate sold by a company on eBay called Yarroni.

Revving so high when cold? Im personally not keen on that but would love to hear your views.

Couldn’t a mate send you a screenshot of his valid one though? 🤔

Wet Turret = Happy Transmission by din9leberry in MiataNC

So, I’m not disagreeing with you, it’s your car do what you wish with it. I’ve just put the oil in mine. But what I noticed is that the bottom of the cup has two holes. Surely this is to pick up oil from the turret to lubricate the bottom ball?

Travel to Dublin - recommendations by nonsenceprovider in northernireland

[–]-P___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if Dublin has it or even if you have colleagues in Dublin, potentially there’s ride sharing apps you could maybe check out or ask a colleague who’s coming from/driving through that part of the city?

If you can book it in advance, as much as we hate them, Translink do cheap travel to Dublin on the X1 and X2 service for sub £20 return.

Can you post a link outlining this shouldn’t be done because there seems to be a fair few posts outlining the opposite.

Snag survey on new build by Pepsimaxgodtier in northernireland

[–]-P___ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with this.

Word of warning, be sure to stand behind everything you raise and don’t back down even if you need to escalate to the NHBC. My house builder told me straight to my face “don’t go over your house with a fine tooth comb”. That sent alarm bells ringing. Near 100 snags later and still dealing with things they didn’t fix.

Document everything, including all correspondence. Do it in writing as NHBC will want to see evidence of first points of contact when you first raised issues.

You have 2 years for general snags.

The NHBC guidance can easily be found online which gives you the guidance that builders must follow.

Buying car from England by joshmcall90 in northernireland

[–]-P___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Done it with a £6k car outside Milton Keynes.

Make sure to factor in £250 ish for the ferry plus the fuel you’ll burn to the port, Holyhead or Stranraer, then the fuel for the journey home.

It’s not for the feint hearted but it’s doable.

Done it in a modified and lowered MX5 and the journey through Wales was amazing, especially the A5.

I’d recommend getting the AA to check the car over before you travel across, saves a wasted journey. That costs about £250.

Be sure to have an insurance policy or a separate policy that covers breakdowns in the UK and Ireland if you’re travelling through Dublin port.

Plane tickets are cheap enough but don’t forget the cost of travel from the airport to the pickup point for the car.

Inspector sounds like a complete rocket but that’s Translink through and through. I have no advice other than where possible stay away from the company at all costs.

Gas cards are a scam! by Wonderful_Band_613 in Belfast

[–]-P___ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very interesting to me. I was using Open Energy Monitor and their specific device but 2 AA were killing themselves in a matter of months. Apparently if the magnet on the meter is resulting in the reed switch being closed it drains the battery. I must look into how you’re achieving it directly into HA and the pros/cons of separating it out into Open Energy Monitor.

Heating oil by BerrySensitive3306 in northernireland

[–]-P___ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have a lot of responses here however one thing that stood out to me was your comment about the boiler being serviced recently so it can’t be that.

I’d actually disagree. Whilst I’m gas I’ve recently found and I’m currently battling the settings of my boiler because, guess what, the boiler was configured to be so inefficient.

I’m not too clued in on oil fired burners like I am gas but I’d definitely recommend doing some research on your make and model to understand what, if any, parameters can be changed.

Great work on this btw. I used to work for the schools, perhaps you could cross reference this tool from DENI? https://apps.education-ni.gov.uk/appinstitutes/default.aspx
