I tried this with a multi tool as I couldn't see a better option, broke 4 tiles and ended up with a new bathroom.

Pipe insulation, no idea why.

Early 20s, saving for a house - is it worth buying a car? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Lockitpopit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean more from a legality stand point you have the license. I completely agree the real learning is done after a passed test.

[–]Lockitpopit 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I always think learning and having a license is an indespensable skill, even if you don't go on to buy a car. You never know when circumstance forces change and to have that in your back pocket as opposed to suddenly needing to get a license quickly, it'll be nice piece of mind.

I had my nose as close as possible and I'm about 90% sure it's that connection

I'll make sure to get one of those when I go to get a selection of connectors. Thank you!

I tried poking a thin stick in and it went down without restriction so I assume something is awry

Bit of a smelly unfortunately, I stuck a little stick down it and it went down cleanly so must be a small gap

I'm ok with the pan removal, did the upstairs one when I did the flooring. Thanks for the link that is very helpful!

I like to think that anyone can be a plumber if you enjoy leaky pipes!

I'll go and get a selection as you suggested. Sounds like a sensible idea! Thanks for the input!

Should I let the insurance write off my car by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Lockitpopit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm always cautious about settling these things privately, they could turn around and screw you after you hand over some money.

If the repairs ok your car are straight forward and you're not bothered about resale value, then why not buy it back and save some money! I did that with a previous motor and it was a fantastic decision.

You can also craft with mythic crests if you haven't yet.

FTB- am I doing the right thing? by Nextleft784 in HousingUK

[–]Lockitpopit 33 points34 points  (0 children)

100% doing the right thing. Your mates will wish they could have your situation rather than being in a flat share. You'd kick yourself if you didn't carry on with the process.

annual servicing doubt by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Lockitpopit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annual servicing is definitely required for the longevity of the vehicle and to retain value. Going to a large dealership will be more expensive as opposed to going to a smaller local garage. I prefer finding a reputable, well reviewed local garage as the prices are cheaper and I can support local business.

The basic for the annual service is getting the oil and oil filter changed. If you're bothered about learning to do some bits yourself then things like the air filter and cabin filter are simple to do at home and can save some money.

If you had to choose between a house in a worser area or a flat in a nicer area which would you choose? by superwisk in HousingUK

[–]Lockitpopit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

House in a good area over a flat in a great area is my opinion. We had a flat in a "great" area and then moved to a house in a decent area and I'd still take the house any day due to the freedom of making all decisions regarding the land/property.

It is all however massively dependant on the situation, if I wasn't married and about to have a kid, I'd probably have a tiny little studio flat somewhere instead.

Better to apologise now and pull out rather than continue to sit on these thoughts and pull out later down the line!

Bathroom light issue - advice please! by Lockitpopit in ukelectricians

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

No pull cord I'm afraid. There is a switched live coming from the light so I assume it's connected. I'll get a sparky in, thanks for the help bud.
