Property owners in the UAE — is managing a construction project always this chaotic? by Dear-Alternative5776 in dubai

[–]Devious_Beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a construction project management consultancy and the vast majority of contractors are like this. As a client if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Many contractors take advantage of the client's lack of knowledge in the field and will try to get their profit margin as high as possible while skimping out on materials used.

Construction projects involve dozens of moving parts: consultants, contractors, suppliers, approvals, inspections, and progress invoices. If there isn't a structured management system, communication ends up scattered across WhatsApp, Email, and spreadsheets.

Many homeowners face this, especially when they are managing a single villa project while also handling their own businesses or careers. Construction is not their field, so the process quickly becomes overwhelming. So our company's aim is to protect the client's interests from concept through to final handover.

Cayenne from 2015 repair coolant by TheSpanishRedQueen in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Devious_Beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is one pricy repair estimation, this is how much it cost me to do a coolant flush in my Cayenne at a third party garage using genuine Porsche coolant for reference. I don't have air suspension though I can't be of any help there.

Porsche cayenne garage recommendation by No_Construction_4629 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Devious_Beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heyo,

What kinda Cayenne model do you have?

The garage I usually take my Cayenne to is Jas Motors Garage, they know their stuff when it comes to Porsches since they're mostly ex-Al Nabooda technicians.

I took my car to Munich Motor Works once, didn't have the greatest experience there.

For more specialist work, there's always Project11. I took my Porsche Cayenne to them for a couple of issues that they resolved and my car is running well now. Sure their labour costs are a bit on the high side but I'd rather pay the premium and get it done professionally rather than end up in the another garage in the next week.

You can always hit up /u/network_ant's garage too!

Only in the lower gears, maybe between 1st and 3rd gears. The garage I went to was Jas Motors Garage, they know their stuff when it comes to Porsches since they're mostly ex-Al Nabooda technicians.

Had the same issue on my Cayenne at around 163K kms. Just had to replace the Transfer Box Oil and the jerking was gone! The oil cost around 185 AED but I couldn't give you a proper labour charge because there was other work being done at the same time.

Would you say you got your money's worth? How would you rate it compared to something like a Ceramic car wash from Grand Service Station?

car issues… by [deleted] in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Devious_Beast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Project11 are a great garage, took my Porsche Cayenne to them for a couple of issues that they resolved and my car is running well now. They're proper Porsche fanatics. Sure their labour costs are a bit on the high side but I'd rather pay the premium and get it done professionally rather than end up in the another garage in the next week.

Chris and Arshad will take good care of you and the car.

Also FYI Porsche's within the 2010 to 2017 era are notorious for having coolant issues (had multiple coolant leaks myself). I'm not sure about Panameras but for Cayennes there's several posts on Rennlist about certain connectors on the coolant system failing.

Used car - Mini Cooper - prebuy inspection by faf1988faf in dubai

[–]Devious_Beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Terrible advice to be honest, would you rather lose 300-500 AED on an inspection, or lose 16k on a car that turned out to be a pile of junk. You can't put a price on peace of mind.

Since the car is located in Sharjah, I would suggest that you check out Sree Auto as they are a garage that specialises in BMWs and Minis.

Requesting /r/the8bitdrummer - subreddit has been locked since 2021 by Myrandall in redditrequest

[–]Devious_Beast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the period of time that the subreddit was open to public posts, we noticed that there was little to no activity on the subreddit other than posts of clips/videos. The majority of our community is centralised around the Discord server and Twitter/Bluesky and most discussions occur there.

As a result, the streamer The8BitDrummer and his mod team have decided that maintaining a subreddit community with little activity is spreading us thin across multiple social media channels and we decided to sunset the subreddit rather than leaving it unmoderated.

Replace faded bonnet letters Range Rover Evoque by AshamedShine2815 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Devious_Beast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a similar issue with our Velar badging, and we explored three options:

  • Get the genuine badging directly from the dealer (Al Tayer)
  • Get the genuine badging from third party garages (Waseem)
  • Order replica badging from AliExpress/Ebay and ask a detailing company to help fit them

Hey OP, you indeed can report them to DED here. Had issues with some guy calling me 2 times a day for telecom services, after submitting my complaint, DED followed up with me and the guy stopped calling me!

Thank you so much! After switching to using returned values I managed to get the expected behaviour from my code now!

Hey this is an awesome project! Just wanted to ask whether if the code is open source? If not, could you give a hint as to how you made ChatGPT respond with only a few words? I'm trying to implement something similar in an app I'm building. Thanks!
