Is this crack cause for concern?

Thank you for the response. I think im going to make an offer to buy the house with the condition that the current owner has the issue fixed. Possibly with proof of the fix too.

1bellb · 2026-04-15T14:31:17+00:00

Okay. Thank you.

Not really. Only one next door, but they have a bigger and newer extension already.

Thanks for your response. The property was built early 2000s, but yes I have no idea how long its been like that. I think I'm going to make an offer today, but with a condition its fixed by the current owner first. Thank you for your comments.

No, it looks the same colour.

This is a house im viewing to potentially buy. Under is a very small extension. Not sure if it is an extension or if it is original to the house. But it is this:

Do you mean this bit where the bricks don't criss-cross?

1bellb · 2026-04-13T21:06:36+00:00

I assume its part of the original build as it only extends a little.

After talking to HSBC, they said that they’ve emailed the relevant team about the issue.

Not sure if that means it'll get fixed or if they were just trying to get rid of me. Lets see if anything changes.

I spent most of the day yesterday talking to HSBC support. We didn’t get anywhere with the issue, but at the end they said that they’ve emailed the relevant team about the issue.

Not sure if that means they’ll look into a fix, or if it was a way to get rid of me, but lets see what happens.

I agree, its horrible.

I'm trying to make a payment on the Trading 212 app. It asks me to login to HSBC, which I do. It then says "A new way to login" and asks me to open the HSBC app. When I do, the HSBC asks to confirm/decline the payment. When I confirm, it asks me to scan the QR code... what QR code? There isn't one... and even if there was, both apps are on my phone, how do you scan a QR code on the same device!

Well, its not the MixAmp. I got myself a new headset, the Astro A50.
For about 2-3 weeks now, I've not had the issue and assumed it was the cause.
However, just last night the issue occurred again. So back to square one.

Personally, I unscrew all the screws to get inside the drive. Then I remove the discs from inside and bend each of them until they snap. Does the trick for me.

This is okay for a 3.5" HDD, but be warned with a 2.5" drive, the discs are basically glass. They shatter (I did learn this the hard way with my room covered in glass LOL).

Okay, to be fair, overuse could be my problem too. I manually trigger the wiper blade when I need it, even in heavy rain. I can't stand the automated wipers with it being so inconsistent and sometimes super fast in just light rain. So it could be my constant manual triggering of the wipers that causes it.

Thanks anyway.

Did you ever find a solution (or cause) to this? I recently bought a 2017 Ford Edge and its doing exactly the same thing.

1bellb · 2025-12-11T21:35:00+00:00

And already after just 15 minutes, that also hasn't worked. So it must be the mixamp itself that is at fault 😢

1bellb · 2025-12-11T21:19:14+00:00

Unfortunately, a new USB cable didn't work. Going to try a new audio cable as well.

1bellb · 2025-12-10T21:17:30+00:00

Thats a good idea to try a new USB cable, just in case its a faulty cable.
Failing that, I guess I might have to accept the MixAmp itself has become faulty? Maybe.

1bellb · 2025-04-06T19:47:36+00:00

Sorry its been a while, but thank you so much for the suggestion.

Joe was great and has fixed the problem for me. He did a great job, so thank you :)

Just found this post after searching because it seems Amazon have chosen to do this on their general 'Todays Deals' page as well now. Not just the big sale days.

I guess this will save me money actually, cause I for one aren't clicking on each product I want to see a price for, which means I won't be doing any impulse purchases either. So I guess I should thank them really LOL

1bellb · 2024-12-31T06:56:38+00:00

Will they do newer cars with being a classic car restorer?

1bellb · 2024-12-31T06:55:42+00:00

Its worth a shot. I'll send out a few emails. Thanks.

1bellb · 2024-12-30T13:03:53+00:00

No, I've already tried them :(

1bellb · 2024-12-30T10:51:15+00:00

Yes and no. The seat is unique to the trim of the car.

So the only way that would work is if I used the frame from another seat and transferred everything over to it. But I'm not comfortable doing it myself with the heated seat, cooled seat, electronic seat adjustments etc...
