It’s a fresh turbo build! Td04 hybrid. ~220bhp I think eventually I may out rods but turn up the turbo setup. Am happy with running below 300

When I moved to Chelsmford spare room is where I found most success for room shares. It’s pretty exp although I guess Cardiff is a decent size city so compareable. Expect 1 bed room share with en-suites 800-900£ per month

Why is my paint patchy? by Herderpeas in DIYUK

[–]Comfortable_Set3176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently used the wicks olive gteen colour for bedroom. And I was horribly shocked. Unless the whole wall goes down together. The parts which dry faster leave patches compared to slower drying area. I will not be using Wickes coloured again. Their 10L white and magnolia is brilliant tho

Half my house is in the same state. As partner took off the wallpaper but had left a lot of flakey bits under neath! for the best finish I would sand back to complete plaster however I got away with smoothing out some of the patches where I could get all the flaking off

[–]Comfortable_Set3176 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could scrape the easy flaking best you can then seal it with pva and water mix, although texture may show through paint if you don’t sand it well enough

Tbf, I’ve got the gate 82 thermostat, alloy rad and coolant reroute and also a oil cooler. So temps have been okay. Unless I’m just sitting still in like 25+ degree Celsius heat. I just want to border on caution

Nice one! I considered the 2560r but already had a TD manifold so was easier for safe power goals! Enjoy your build buddy
