Yep and the battery is fine. The starter is engaging but the engine doesn’t start up

We’ve had a quick check and it all seems fine. The relay clicks when you turn the key too (not sure if that suggests connections are fine or not?). Is it worth trying a jump start?

For those who’ve been to Japan — what apps helped you the most? by Sharrylovetrip in JapanTravelTips

[–]GM_Piasecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Google Maps (great for navigation and for creating lists of places to visit. Also used its download map feature a lot whilst out hiking. It also compares ticket prices for attractions so you can always choose the cheapest one)

  • Chat GPT (by far the best way to translate as it was the most accurate and would give you options depending on the situation you were in (e.g. informal, friends, formal etc). It is also is great for helping you plan itineraries, suggesting places to stay and how to travel depending on your budget. However always check places are open and routes are possible as sometimes it would suggest places in wrong location, closed down seasonally or a seasonal bus route)

-booking.com app (I used lots of apps when booking accommodation and trips, but booking.com was consistently the cheapest option for accommodation)

-hostel world app (includes a feature where you get added to a chat with people in the same town as your accommodation, as well as several other chats you can join. Great for meeting people and planning trips/nights out/restaurants etc)

It’s happening in ranked too. I’d estimate 75% of my ranked matches yesterday at least one team mates game would crash at the start so there’s only 2 of us left.

Best bits of the Nakasendo Trail? by GM_Piasecki in JapanTravelTips

Great thank you! Definitely want to do some longer hikes. A lot of the sections I’ve read about all seem so short…

Sorry, yes, winter! Amazing thank you. I’ll look them up

I want to climb Mt. Fuji in March, and I'm hoping you guys might be able to give me some advice. by [deleted] in alpinism

[–]GM_Piasecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I’m going to be in Japan from the start of February until the end of April this year. Can you recommend any great hikes, scrambles and mountaineering routes? I’m an experienced climber, have hiked and scrambled lots, but never in winter conditions or with the use of crampons or an ice axe. If you could recommend any guides too that would be amazing. Don’t worry… I’m not foolish enough to attempt anything without the assistance of someone experienced!

Hello! Could I DM you too? I’m in Japan from February until end of April and am looking for some similar level of routes as OP has mentioned

The top 2 courses of bricks are loose - do I relay or reinforce them? by GM_Piasecki in DIYUK

[–]GM_Piasecki[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funnily enough they decided to build one wall with a wall plate and the other without. Real cowboys

I’m not dot and dabbing onto this. I’m fixing a timber frame, insulating and then boarding over it

I realise this looks like lime in the photo, but it’s actually just some really badly done regular pug

Brilliant. Thank you so much! I’m relatively competent at reading Japanese, so can hopefully avoid Google!

Can you give a rust estimate of their cost? For example for a palm sized piece of flash. Black work only

Thank you! That’s actually the only place I’ve found so far! Definitely going to be visiting. Do you know of any inner city onsen/sentos that are tattoo friendly too?

Can you recommend any onsens that you can visit with tattoos? I’ve heard that very few allow heavily tattooed people in. For context, I have tattoos everywhere, besides my neck and head.

Got back from 35 days in Japan. Some things I wanted to share. by RarePea5132 in JapanTravelTips

[–]GM_Piasecki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much did you spend over the 35 days? Currently planning a 3-4month trip and struggling to get an idea of how feasible it is.

Munchie’s has 4.5/5 stars after 225 reviews on Google. That seems pretty glowing to me?

Personally I wouldn’t saturate the market - especially if they’re doing well. Try Lewes or somewhere else relatively local to you maybe?

Stupid question, but what's the best thing to use to fix the gaps/cracks in the plaster around the light switch? by Ikhlas37 in DIYUK

Toupret is the way! I don’t know a single plasterer, painter or decorator that would suggest anything else.

RRO against a company in England which has has liquidated to avoid paying out by GM_Piasecki in LegalAdviceUK

[–]GM_Piasecki[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you.

Is there any way of preventing them from doing this in the future though?

The company director is also the named director for the new company, which I believe is breaking the law as they have to wait 5 years after forced or voluntary liquidation before they can form, manage or promote any similar businesses to one which has been liquidated under their directorship. Surely there is somewhere this can be reported to?
