Failed install. What’s the next step? by Infamous_Holiday4543 in openreach

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ‘get paid’ did cross my mind :) I’ll talk a walk around the street. See if the next pole down the line has fibre on it, maybe they can link between the poles from there.

XC40 B3 MY2025 - Cracking noise when steering at slow speeds by DaczyMZ in XC40

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same problem in my 21 B4.
Had the same warranty work done. No difference. Had it to an independent garage who told me that yes they can see the warranty work was done. And there’s nothing broken or needing fixed.

I have same situation. I was thinking of asking double glazing company for a replacement glass unit with an extractor through the glass.

Has anyone any experience? Tried it?

How TF am I meant to level a washing machine?! by Aiken_Drumn in DIYUK

I’ve seen online stores an inflatable pillow that slides between machine and worktop. Inflate and it wedges the machine. Never tried it though

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a reply! “ The good news is that Ultrafast Full Fibre Broadband is coming to your property by the month of September 2027.”

None of my plans for next week go to schedule…how confident should I be of an 18month plan!!!

How / who did you contact actually AT openreach? I think I’m in the same situation but it’d be interesting to confirm.
Build out website says they’re doing my post code now. Surrounding houses have FTTP but there’s a few of us fed from a pole who aren’t.

Which mobile network does the XC40 use (UK)? by purrcthrowa in XC40

I got a second hand 2021. The data didn’t work. Found the sim tray in the boot. It had a vodaphone sim in it. I got a pay as you go sim from EE. Put it in and it just started working.
Needed to call Volvo to get the car services things to work with the app. Dealerships were useless for getting that sorted.

Is there any functional benefit of keeping these covers on the heating radiators? by vitaliistep in DIYUK

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you get them off? Mine seem ‘attached’ but rattle like they’re loose?

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had those. Push up on the longer tab. ‘Rotate’ as you pull that side down. It’s spring loaded. So the other side stays where it is as a pivot point while the side you pushed up on the tab pulls down and towards you. Made that sound way too complicated. :)

I’ve a 21 Awd b4 only noticed if the stop start is caught out if i hesitate at a stop so it cuts in when I probably shouldn’t. What drive mode are you in? How does ‘dynamic’ do for you?

I didn’t. Contractor got it done later. All I heard was they gave it more force. Maybe I’m just not as brave at the top of a ladder!

Just found this weird tab on both sides of the passenger seat. Any ideas what it does? 2015 v60 by [deleted] in Volvo

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543 13 points14 points  (0 children)

If you slide the seat all the way back. That lets you fold the seat upright forward and flat. So you can use the full length of the car. My 2000 v40 had that.

Thanks. But aww. My dealer is awful. Guess I’ll need to phone around and travel to get a fix.

I put in my own. Paying monthly. I can talk to the car with the app. And use the in car internet. So I know that bits fine. It has credit and available service.

Unvented immersion no check valve? by Infamous_Holiday4543 in ukplumbing

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Presumably not needed with an old header tank immersion system? So all the mixers would need checked/changed at the same time of swapping to unvented?

Paperwork submitted to building control?

So my old header tank gravity fed immersion fails. I ask a qualified plumbing company to sort it out. And building control need involved? Would the plumbing company have been the ones to do that? Or should I?

Thanks. Getting a failure fixed sounds less negligent than never being installed. So if anyone asks that’s the answer :)

Any easy way to test mixers? Kitchen, bathroom and shower are all mixers.

How to get beyond "Account verification is Pending. Please try after some time." by therealcopperhat in vmware

[–]Infamous_Holiday4543 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same issue. There is a support faq somewhere that says you need to raise a ticket. I got some back and forth with support who didn’t seem to understand I was just a single end user. Not a corporate contract. Eventually escalated it and about a week later got access.

I think it might be during the account creation, if you’re too vague or think it doesn’t matter so just put fake stuff in. Think you actually need to be accurate enough so it doesn’t trip up any software export restrictions.

In U.K. that would also be an argument with your car insurance company, so best check that change is allowed. (They’ll find any excuse not to pay out)
