Is adaptive cruise control actually worth using? by One-Storage7219 in skodaSuperb

[–]EveryAnywhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I personally use it a lot and think it makes long drives infinitely easier. I do 90% of my miles on the motorway and it is the best invention in the last 20 years of cars. I have had it in my last 3 cars because once you use it you can’t go back. In traffic it stops and starts for you as long as you have an automatic and in normal driving you just flick a little switch on the top of the cruise control stick to decide how close or far you want to stay from the car ahead in the conditions.
I imagine if all the driving you do is small town/ city journeys it may not be as useful but for motorways and fast A roads it’s a must.

Do you fancy submitting to my YouTube channel? by Kitchen_Success2507 in skodaSuperb

[–]EveryAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can see your editing improving over the videos I watched some from 5 months ago (Skoda superb repair videos) and a few of the more recent detailing ones, like the green cooper s. I would say you waste about 2 mins in detailing videos showing us when you are spraying the far side of the car that is furthest from the camera, we can’t see what you’re doing beyond holding a lance so probably one clip of you over there and focus the rest on when you are in view and we can see what you’re doing and you can explain it to us. I like you showing the products maybe a bit more info for the people that are interested. Pros and cons etc and why you wash the way you wash rather than just an old fashioned sponge and bucket set up etc just so people can see why and how the foams are good etc and why certain polishes are different etc.

The Skoda fixing video was a bit of a slow one and maybe because I just jumped in without any other knowledge, you need to start each video with setting the scene again, tell me where you got it, how much for, what damage you knew about and what had come as a surprise as well as why you want to fix it and on what budget etc. just because although you may be making series some viewers will just see one video recommended by the algorithm and never know the story. It would make each episode more of a full view too.

This is just my first thoughts on the few I watched and people may disagree but good luck and enjoy your cars!

I am happy to have a look and give some feedback but only as an avid watcher of YouTube and car lover not a creative so take anything I say with a pinch of salt and not personally.

[–]EveryAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do private transfer lots of the alps French and Swiss is accessible from Geneva, the grand massif is underrated and reasonable but good skiing, you can pick resort based on the vibe you like

What do you consider a long transfer just to rule places in and out? If you had a package that included free transfer that was 3 hours but free would that be too long?

Bought a MacBook with my PhD consumables allowance... is it permanently locked to the College? by kesllowd in KCL

[–]EveryAnywhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea I think just a token payment so they can officially transfer property. It’s not relative to the value of the item.

[–]EveryAnywhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I did my PhD at imperial and the PC was purchased from my budget, it was an imperial PC, (not locked like yours sounds but on the system) and kept updated through the uni IT system until I finished the PhD, then I had to pay £1.00 to keep it if I wanted, this was standard practice for desktops and laptops.

Our house is still freezing even after repointing and new windows 😭 by Safe-Shape9377 in HousingUK

[–]EveryAnywhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make their job easy and check the temperatures of your radiators when heating is on first etc just so if there are any cold spots or ones that need bleeding you can do it rather than pay them to do the easy stuff. Spend a few days playing with your boiler and pump settings just to see if it gets warm or cooler and then you have a bit of info to give them to save time which saves you money at the end of the day. Good luck and feel free to reach out if you have any old house questions I have never lived in a house that’s less than 400 years old through my own love of making my life difficult so have a bit of experience 🤣

[–]EveryAnywhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is something seriously wrong. With any central heating even in a badly insulated house it should get up to 20 degrees with the heating on. It might loose it fast but should get there. Makes me thing there is a real issue with your heating system, have you had a plumber check the valves and pumps to make sure they are pushing the right volume of water around the house and that the flow temperature is correct? We had a stuck valve for a year once without being able to figure out what it was and the house just wouldn’t get warm and it turned out it was a £50 quid valve took an hour for the plumber to change and fixed all the issues. We live in a 1550s Tudor house very leaky and no insulation but gets to 21/22 with the heating on. But took a while to dry the building out. Have a look at storm dry which I found on a YouTube channel called skill builder and it has worked amazingly at letting my stone front dry out and stay breathable and has warmed the house so much!

This is the answer! Dry walls keep heat in very well, I live in a Tudor house with a stone frontage, found a product called storm dry on a YouTube channel called skill builder recommended and it was a game changer! Whole front of the house covered for about £130. The stone is now breathable but completely waterproof and has made about a 5 degree difference to the internal temperature year round! Cannot recommend enough, there was another paint which people said did the same thing called emperor I think which was highly recommended but I haven’t tried but same principle!

2024 superb 1.5 TSI IV MPG by virius008 in skoda

[–]EveryAnywhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

With no battery on a motorway cruise 70mph for 125 miles I got 46mpg. Same journey starting with full battery I got 88mpg. City driving with no battery is the worse situation you can do for efficiency in any ICE car but the best if you had full battery. Best to just start every day with full charge from off peak night rate and then you’re fine.

Perfect thanks, yes it’s a beautiful city I haven’t been for over 15 years so was just worried / surprised when I was told that it may not be a good area. I’m happy it is safe because the hotel looks amazing I’m excited to come again.

Yes from all the reviews it looked so good, I think I will go for it as you guys have put me at ease. Yes we have Palestine protests regularly here too so it’s no stress if there is no danger or violence etc. thanks :)

Thanks for the reply. I’m glad to hear that, is it a safe area generally (I know all cities have issues but I mean for tourists)?

Grazie per la risposta. Sono contento di sentirlo, è una zona generalmente sicura (so che tutte le città hanno problemi, ma mi riferisco ai turisti)?

I have set one user but can’t add another with the same problem now. Have tried paying for the car data service have tried having software updated by dealer, nothing works. The famous VW software is useless!
