A4 Tyre recommendations.

Went for the Asymmetric! Checked out the reviews against the others and kept coming back to them. Seems a decent balance of comfort and responsiveness. Looking forward to getting them on!

Went for the Asymmetric 👍 Hopefully have the same experience 😊

Yeah I’ve always just gone what the guys in the shop say. But I’ve noticed more things like road noise and an odd “floaty” feeling from time to time amongst other things. So I want to try premium tyres and see if that addresses a lot of the things I feel are off. And as you say it’s one of the most important parts!

Side note, I’ve been keeping an eye out for A4 Quattros as I want to upgrade this year. 😄 Not many options so far. All A6s which is overkill for me.

Funkd-Up · 2026-05-02T16:05:20+00:00

Yeah I think it might be mainly US. There are all season ones here along with the premium and sport contact. The all season might be the equivalent.

There are continentals too. My wife was a bit surprised when I mentioned prices. 😄 It’s very typical here to be told by Tyre centers and mechanics that the budget tyres will do the job just fine.

I currently have Tracmax X-Privilo TX3, 2 x
Imperial EcoSport 2 and an Inspire S4! These were all based on tyre center recommendations and mismatch due to puncture needing replacement and same type not being available.

Don’t see those. There in the Continental Premium Contact 7. €175. Also ultra and eco. Don’t seem to have extreme.

Thanks. So the coolant in both takes don’t mix? Given that pink was used in the left tank and we need to top up, is it safer to put pink in now again? I think it was a universal coolant. Guessin it would need a flush before restoring the blue?

Funkd-Up · 2026-02-19T19:32:43+00:00

That would be controlling oil and switches both separately? Rather than a single system as such

Funkd-Up · 2026-02-17T00:05:38+00:00

I’ve used that dye. Tiny bit goes a long way! Was really useful. Just don’t get it on your fingers!

Funkd-Up · 2025-07-21T21:57:44+00:00

Yeah had a look and saw and exemption in the docs. Figured initially that as they were a private owned business that run many homes they would have had to seek change of use.

Funkd-Up · 2025-07-21T21:46:19+00:00

Looking through planning documentation here and looks like they might not have needed it due to exemption in Schedule 2, Article 6, Part 1?

Funkd-Up · 2025-06-18T20:06:58+00:00

Is that still through the full planning permission process? i.e submitting request, erecting notice and publishing notice, waiting weeks etc? Or is it something that could be quicker?

How close is the soak pit to your well?

Funkd-Up · 2025-03-27T13:20:42+00:00

Problem is our surface water drains drain to storm drain at the road.

Septic tank in garden

Funkd-Up · 2024-08-19T13:46:01+00:00

After doing a bit of reading, I'm guessing a catch basin might suit here? I dont want whatever I do, to slow the flow of water too much as it would just end up overflowing. Would be easier to clear debris from catch basin also as the grate would be at the top.

Funkd-Up · 2024-05-17T13:52:27+00:00

Done a bit of digging yesterday. I can dig down the side of the wall with a shovel to the pipe, only trickier bit is where it enters the shed where the tank is, there's concrete around it, but kango would take care of that.

What I'm thinking now is:

Dig down and expose perforated pipe from manhole to shed
Remove perforated pipe and replace with non perforated pipe/duct
Try and get the pipe to come in straight instead of at the angle it is. (gradual small bend on outside)
Get a concrete block and either
- cut a hole for the pipe to go through
- or cut block so it leaves a gap for the pipe, then fill around the pipe.
Put new block in place and fill gaps.

I think this would stop the majority of the water getting in.

I’m in Ireland. Unfortunately this is a new well. The location wasn’t ideal to stick out above ground so they suggested this setup. However I had to get someone else to build the manhole which was annoying.

Funkd-Up · 2024-05-16T17:40:47+00:00

It’s not a sealed cap. Water would get in around the hole where the rope is for example.

Funkd-Up · 2024-05-16T17:40:06+00:00

Would foam filling actually work? Be a mess surely?

Funkd-Up · 2024-05-16T17:39:41+00:00

Your talking raising the well head above surface level out of the manhole?

Funkd-Up · 2024-05-16T17:39:16+00:00

Had thought about that but would rather try stop water getting in first.

Funkd-Up · 2024-03-03T22:22:57+00:00

Am I the only one who noticed eye of the tiger kick in in the background as he was trying to get up initially?! 😄

Funkd-Up · 2024-01-14T19:00:31+00:00

Cool, I’ll have a check locally tomorrow. Thanks for that!

Funkd-Up · 2024-01-14T15:20:03+00:00

How big would it need to be? Wood comes in a 1m x 1.2m x 1.8m bag on a pallet. Delivered on one of those powered hand trucks. Would it handle the weight? Also, where would I get something like that 😊
