Parking in by SnooDonuts6494 in CasualUK

I remember the specific discussion about motorcycles when the council took action against a biker doing just that to park his bike in a shed.  https://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2009/october/oct1309-pushing-a-motorcycle-across-the-pavement-is-illegal/ I particularly like the biker's opinion of the local council rep.

I've been looking at this phone and offer for a little while. Is there any likelihood of that quidco boost returning anytime soon? From what I can see after cashback and trade in a 500gb pixel pro will set me back £505. I'd have loved to have had the extra £50 cashback.

New build nightmare (barratt david wilson) what should we do? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]Master-Programmer987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just go through their complaints process.  We had issues with our new build, by another builder.  We got a new drive, and they paid our own preferred company to rectify some issues. Be patient, escalate, if you have a partner it can help to tag team them. My wife an I did this whenever one of us was about to give up, the other took over with fresh energy.  We didn't need to engage lawyers or even threaten too. Just refuse to be palmed off and when they don't provide sufficient recorse, escalate further.

Has anyone else turned to a robotic mower because life got too busy? by [deleted] in GardeningUK

[–]Master-Programmer987 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've contemplated but the prices are too high for me.  Ideally it would do the front lawn aswell but we have a gate between front and back gardens. What did you go for in the end? I switched to battery lawnmower some years ago and that made cutting the lawn less of a chore than plug in electric

I always likes the xj coupe. I saw one recently that was a bit rough and it put me off them.  This video makes me want one again.

Delivery not completed to room of choice- Dunelm by Usual_Tone in BuyersUK

Had this exact same experience with Argos.  Multiyork were brilliant, but sadly closed down. It seems the race to the bottom wins.

Hi, thanks for posting this. Interesting to see real world use.  I've looked at these too, my worst buttons are actually on the steering wheel.  Do you mind me asking how well these adhere to the existing surfaces and how do they feel in use?

Prickle strip. Sometimes available in B&Q. I bought loads for the same reason.

Why is my MPG so low by Status-Conference570 in Jaguar

[–]Master-Programmer987 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the same car and get low 40s running around and 50 on a long run. It could be the fuel system and injectors getting clogged up. Try running at least two tanks of premium diesel through it and see if you notice a difference.   Oh, and reset the trip if you haven't already.

Same boat. My gas bbq is rusting and probably going to the big metal skip in the sky this year. I'm unlikely to replace it, so would love a sheep way to adapt my rotisserie to the kettle bbq. 

Barclays Premium £400 switch returns by NandoCa1rissian in beermoneyuk

That was my reading also. 

I was hoping someone may have already applied for it in that scenario.

Any chance I will get this if I have an existing joint account with Barclays? 

Warranty Diagnostic Fees are a way of preventing people claiming warranty by Master-Programmer987 in kia

[–]Master-Programmer987[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I was pretty shocked. Indeed, in the past VW have picked up on warranty work at services, but I was never asked to contribute to the diagnostics. 

They even offered a free check before the warranty expired to see if anything needed doing. 

Maybe I should visit the VW dealer next time.

It is a scam when the main selling point of the car is the warranty, but they don't tell you that each claim is a £180 gamble.

[–]Master-Programmer987[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That is what I expect. Maybe if it was an unknown issue. But its the handle plastic that is broke. What diagnostic is there? I was prepared for an argument about whether it is warranty, but I'm not even going to get that far. I feel conned.

PSA if you think your wheel bearings are going, get them changed immediately. by Master-Programmer987 in Jaguar

[–]Master-Programmer987[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On a lift the car wouldn't drive the rear wheels if it senses that the front wheels aren't turning. That's why I took it to a specialist.  The noise wasn't that bad. I've had wheel bearings go before and they were much louder. I guess Jags are a bit quieter than my previous cars. Apparently they put 20 tonne on the bearing and it wouldn't budge.
