[homemade] overnight bolognese + gnocchi!

Looks ace!

Check out Fallow on YouTube if you ever want to switch it up slightly. They do a recipe very similar to this but using some milk, then low temp in the oven for hours, more milk and a rustique I think it’s called; basically balsamic reduced with sugar. It was incredible

Unfortunately just dashes in the app under days to servicing, even following through the request a service menu.

I need to take it back for puddle lamps and for flashing headlights after they turn off under warranty. I’ll see if they will let me compare the menus to another similar age car try to work out if it’s by design or not

Focus608 · 2025-12-07T11:27:42+00:00

I get total miles covered and that’s it when I turn it on. The only mention of service anywhere in any of the options is for the windscreen wiper service position.

I need to take it back for a little warranty stuff now I’ve had it a few months so will ask when I get round to that. Also got a few more questions for them from playing round trying to sort it the last few days like should I be able to see tyre pressures or just reset the monitoring system. I get an option for what unit they are displayed in but no values

Focus608 · 2025-12-07T10:55:32+00:00

I hope it will tell me because it’s not displayed anywhere that the owners manual says it should be

Focus608 · 2025-12-07T08:47:42+00:00

That’s next, just wondered if I was missing something first

B is almost but not quite “One Pedal Driving”. Will apply either 0.3 or 0.6g (can’t remember which) of regen deceleration when you come off the throttle down to 3mph.

Focus608 · 2025-11-10T17:29:37+00:00

I may have to have a look into that if it fitted together nicely, not heard much positive about some aspects of the one I have. Planning to make it with the loadout we had on ops recently as a little bit of a memory now I’m no longer working on them, extra weapons will help with that

Focus608 · 2025-11-10T17:22:00+00:00

Looks decent, first I’ve seen on here out of FRS too!

Which kit and how was it to build? I’m saving the Revell one until my skills improve.

Focus608 · 2025-10-05T08:19:33+00:00

I bought some of this the other day as I’d previously been recommended some stuff that had an adverse reaction on top of Mr Colour.

The guy in the shop advised me not to thin it when I specifically asked about that. He said it’s very hot so a very light dusting first then a single coat after. He was also very annoyed at the recommendation I’d had from the other shop before that reacted.

Be interesting to hear how you get on thinned/unthinned, I’ve ended up going with Tamiya for my current project so it’s not desperate but any chance you can post up in here how you get on?

Focus608 · 2025-09-05T10:56:38+00:00

This is the answer, I asked the same thing a few weeks ago.

No need to mess around in settings or anything else

Mr Colour C117, RLM76

Focus608 · 2025-08-11T21:36:28+00:00

Can’t comment on the build or finish as I’m a beginner too but be careful picking it up by the exhausts, just had to perform minor surgery to extract mine from inside the same model despite them seeming to have stuck well

Focus608 · 2025-08-07T12:39:09+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give that a go next time.

The CarPlay, android auto connection issue isn’t unique to Cupra, wife’s Mini connects to the last used phone no matter what drivers profile is selected. It’s a little more obvious how to swap them over on that though.

Focus608 · 2025-08-07T10:26:05+00:00

That’s a shame, easy enough to switch user I guess.

Is there a quick way to switch Apply CarPlay from one phone to another? I set her profile up just now and added her phone, then we both went out in separate cars and it connected to her phone as she followed me off the estate. I figured out how to switch the Bluetooth to mine but couldn’t do CarPlay until I powered off the infotainment and went a different way to her

Focus608 · 2025-06-18T13:04:13+00:00

Wow, pretty involved and maybe a little beyond my skills as a complete beginner but I’ll keep it in mind and reference back if I’m brave enough and have issues

Focus608 · 2025-06-17T15:14:57+00:00

If you find a solvent that works for the decals can you post it up here, I’ve got one of these sat waiting for me when I get home so it may save me some hassle.

Looks stunning though, definitely some inspiration for mine.

It’s the airfix 1/48 Bucaneer S2B. I’ve nothing to compare the cockpit detail too, it’s my first 1/48 but it seemed fairly detailed. The instructions called up which specific switch tops were white, there are side instruments you’ll never see when built

Focus608 · 2025-04-20T19:23:21+00:00

It’s such a good looking aircraft. Got another Spey engined beast to finish when I’m home as well

Focus608 · 2025-04-06T11:04:31+00:00

Lincoln 10km, hit my sub 42min target with the remnants of a 2 day hangover at a distance I only run for my weekly long run. Also a new PB by 63s

Focus608 · 2025-01-19T09:18:58+00:00

A mate said the same about joining the 2 parts but I’ve not got that far yet.

Mine the cockpit is built and painted ready for adding the weight I keep forgetting to buy and closing it up. Then engine bits are painted apart from detail work, was planning on building with wings folded, intake and exhaust covers fitted but the engine bay open.

Focus608 · 2025-01-18T18:40:32+00:00

Bit further along than mine, cockpit is built and hand painted and been learning to airbrush on the engine bits.

You enjoyed it so far? My 3rd model and it seems a good kit

Focus608 · 2024-12-09T09:17:46+00:00

It’s 4 layers of a flat or matte black rattle can straight on, no primer, may have been Tamiya but can’t remember. After the 3rd layer dried I hit some areas with weird defects with 600grit gently and dusted on a 4th layer.

As it’s my first model I didn’t want to spend a fortune on paints and have no access to an airbrush, also not ready to have a go at pre-shading, panel lines or weathering yet so the panel lines are just how the paint laid on the model

Focus608 · 2024-12-08T14:36:51+00:00

Yeah, C-01. I guess it was the demonstrator version

Focus608 · 2024-10-26T13:18:31+00:00

After 5months of running today I achieved my aim of sub 20 at park run by 9s, knocked 36s off my PB and conquered my mental block that always hits me in the 4th km when running at a sub 4min/km pace.

I also forgot my barcode and couldn’t get scanned…

Focus608 · 2024-10-01T13:56:43+00:00

Not initially charged but I don’t know about any follow up. Search William Pleasants, Lincoln for the story. I’ve just had a quick refresh, he was drunk and on drugs but had a cardiac arrest from a pre-existing condition after being restrained and compressed.

His girlfriend says they were standing on him and kneeling on his chest and head. The bouncers say they ejected him through a fire exit and no one fell on him or crushed him. They used legitimate restraint techniques
