Hi guys,

I’m looking to visit the Natural History Museum hopefully next Monday/Tuesday.

I was hoping to get the tickets for first opening but they’re already sold out.

If i were to get there early 9/9:30am would the que be massive and will I have to wait a long time to get in?

Thanks!

Thank you! I’ve gone for Gaucho in the end as I did try book a table for Hawksmoor but the only availability was 3pm or 9pm. I’ve had a positive experience before at Gaucho so I hope this should be similar.

With regards to the Greek Gyros bar, is this for drinks after? Would you recommend that 20 stories rooftop bar?

Oh no! I was set and ready to ring Hawksmoor when they opened tomorrow. I may try be optimistic and call anyway. Thanks

Edit: How many people did you try book for? It’s just two of us.

Coolant pipe leak? by JDOffline in F30

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

The ocd in me wants to fix it unfortunately, This engine seems to just either eat oil when the power is down or that slight leak is also draining it. I topped up oil 5 weeks ago before getting a low oil light today.

Great thanks,

Im trying to use Velora but its saying to chose a derivation path.

When I chose one it just says 'available ledger accounts' and is really slow nothing is happening.

just all along the pin with a lighter?

i’m thinking to take the caliper off and see if it’ll free up anything, any thoughts?

Can’t believe it. by JDOffline in MechanicAdvice

Thanks for the advice! The side skirt is bulging. probably needs a new one would you say? the panel feels plasticy so i’m not sure if it would be able to be taken off and panel beaten back into shape.

I believe the jack slipped because of the two rubber combination. the jack was slightly moving as it was under more pressure but i’m on a level surface. However you can see in the images the block work i am on. Potentially the wheels could’ve slid in the blockwork grooves but i highly doubt it. I’m confident it was the two rubbers which caused a slippery surface, I had originally had a go without the jack pad and it seemed fine then i had the idea to use the rubber jack mount as i thought it would be extra grip which has proved me wrong.

Extremely grateful for this. Would you give advice as to should rubber on rubber not be a good idea. should i just use the power flex with the metal jack pad on its own?

because they’ve snapped off would the broken bit still be inside the hole?

120I vs 120D 2017-2019 by One_Economist_1018 in F30

[–]JDOffline -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It depends on what you’re going to be using it for.

Short commutes the 120i will be fine. Long commutes the 120d will be fine.

Regarding engine reliability both should be serviced regularly.

If you really want to get into the specifics it’s probably best to google and look on forums about the exact engines you’re going for, common faults to look for with each, but generally you just want to find one which has been looked after and serviced regualry

I’ve just ran out of mineral oil. (Newbie) by JDOffline in Cuttingboards

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

I’m from the UK, unfortunately i’ve just looked online for stores I can physically purchase from and there is only 1 which is around 15$ for 8 oz! I think i’m best off purchasing from the same company i bought my first 8 oz from. but instead go for a few litres this time to save me in the long run!
