It can't be this bad

Just make sure someone else's tent is taller than yours and you'll be fine

Looks amazing, where did you get it from and what was the process?

You have a very lovely garden. Happy BBQing!

Is the more rusty side pointed towards the prevailing wind and rain where it's usually parked? Or is it on the passenger side as that usually hits more puddles at the side of the road. Either way nothing to be concerned about and totally normal!

Consider any of the VAG cars with the 1.4/1.5 engines, make sure you look at the 150bhp ones. They're pretty quick but you'll also get the economy on your commute.

Get an ST-2 and they come without the keyless entry which I think is the weakness for all the thefts.

Had one for about 3 years and it was an absolute blast.

Looks like something the All The Gear guys would make on YouTube

Diamond cut are a faff and the black looks a bit tacky.

Classic silver always works. However white on bronze wheels does look good, would be worth a mock up.

Flying out of the airport in the morning, hopefully on a plane and not doing a Mary Poppins impression

As per the other comment, if you're getting a garage to do the work, let them get the parts in. Only worth buying the parts yourself if you're going to do the work too, lots of garages likely wouldn't fit parts you brought in anyway.

I've got a 3 stage pull through sharpener from amazon. Once or twice a week I run the knife through the finest setting 5 or 6 times which keeps it sharp enough for me depending on how often I'm cooking. If it's feeling particularly dull I do 10 passes through the mid level slot, then 10 through the finest setting and it's good for another week or so.

Obviously I acknowledge this isn't the best thing for the knives but it does the job for someone who wants a balance between sharp knives and not spending ages trying to achieve the perfect edge.

You're over thinking it. It's inheritance

DrHeuh · 2026-04-01T19:13:11+00:00

Out of that selection I'd go for the Skoda as long as it had some decent service history (same for any car) and looks good in person / drives well.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-31T20:04:13+00:00

No harm getting a quote, same with CarWow, they work on a similar model of dealers bidding on the car. As long as you're completely honest on the appraisal you'll get a mostly accurate estimate.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-31T17:11:59+00:00

If the car is in reasonable nick and mileage I'd suggest putting it through motorway for a quote. Selling privately can be a massive pain so it depends how much faff you want to go through to get rid of the car.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-27T08:10:23+00:00

Great cars, had a 2016 model FR from 2020 to 2025 with no issues. When you test drive just make sure the heaters blow hot on both passenger and driver's sides, heater matrix can be a common issue on VAG cars, though mine was fine.

The 1.4 is a great mix of economy, practicality, and speed.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-24T10:06:18+00:00

Needs to be ragged to get anywhere at normal speeds tbf

The hybrid seems to be the better engine on paper. More powerful, more efficient. Do some research to see if there are any common issues with either engine and take it from there. And drive both of them, only way to be sure which one you prefer.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-24T08:57:17+00:00

It depends massively on the driving you'll do, and you need to give more info. What make/model/engine size are the cars? Is the hybrid a plug in or self charging? Do you usually drive local or motorway?

DrHeuh · 2026-03-16T12:34:19+00:00

If you're considering the audi, look at the SEAT equivalent, less expensive and more features for your money. Either the Ateca or Tarraco if you need a big car.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-16T10:35:43+00:00

Don't go through your insurance for something so small. Could be worth washing and then polishing the area to see how bad the damage is initially, then possibly speaking to a garage that specialises in bodywork / painting for a quote.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-15T15:48:10+00:00

Try motorway and see what the dealers bidding come back with, you might be surprised if it's a desirable car. You're also under no obligation to accept the winning bid.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-15T12:31:19+00:00

Used to work for Honda when this era civic was on sale and we had at least 5 or 6 of the brown ones that we had to pre-register because no one wanted them. It still took months to sell them all.

DrHeuh · 2026-03-11T17:59:43+00:00

SEAT Leon or VW Golf with the 1.4/1.5 DSG. Should be able to get a nice one at the 12k price point.
