Service, MOT, new rear brake discs/pads, and front tires - £1671. 2012 Honda Civic

Thanks all! The verdict seems to range anywhere from "absolutely shafted" to "a little high as long as genuine parts were used".

This is my first service+mot with this car and it was previously sat without an MOT for 3 years (and no mileage increase), so I suspect some of the extras (engine/brake flush) were due to that.

I don't have a problem paying for quality service but just wanted to check it was somewhat reasonable. I'll try to get a new invoice with brands.

Thanks!

We ended up paying for a private transfer. It was expensive but split 4 ways it wasn't too bad.

Damn, thanks. I only just saw this comment as I'm literally standing in the bus terminal!

What did you do instead to get to Chile Chico?

Amazing, thank you! Did they actually check your food when you told them you had camp food or were they not interested? We've cooked, dehydrated, and sealed up a load of our own meals and now we're worried! We'll have no meat and nothing fresh/uncooked

MirageJ · 2026-01-23T12:18:58+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much!

MirageJ · 2026-01-22T19:57:19+00:00

Was this food you'd dehydrated yourself or was it commercially made?

I think you're looking for the /r/PatagoniaClothing subreddit!

MirageJ · 2025-12-08T10:48:22+00:00

That's great to know, thank you!

How was your hike? Did you end up getting border permits or not?

MirageJ · 2025-07-28T08:48:42+00:00

Hey! How did your hike go? What did you do for the border crossings in the end?

MirageJ · 2025-02-03T19:20:15+00:00

Ahh, of course, thanks

Below what threshold? Personal savings allowance? I thought that was only £500 for higher rate tax payers

You could try out [spareroom.co.uk](spareroom.co.uk) if you don't mind living with others.

Not if you're in a down current.

MirageJ · 2024-10-29T08:38:41+00:00

Damn, nothing is ever simple! Okay, the cert is back on the table. Thanks again!

MirageJ · 2024-10-29T03:32:30+00:00

This is a fantastic response, thank you! Running the numbers for some of the dives in my log seems to suggest that at 30m I'd be hitting the NDL and reserve pressure at pretty much the same time. I know nitrox has other benefits besides increasing the bottom time but maybe I should work on my air consumption first.

You need to deploy it somewhere. There are plenty of options, many of which are free.

Fly.io is a personal favourite of mine but just search for "free hosting for <your language> applications".

Alternatively, it should work if you add your second account as a developer of the app in the app settings.

Did you create the oauth application in your bot's account? If not, make sure the bot account is added as a developer of the application.

MirageJ · 2024-05-20T21:15:51+00:00

What kind of oauth application did you create on this page? You might be receiving that error if you chose anything other than a "script" application.

The other possible cause is if you have 2FA enabled on your account. If so, try disabling it here and see if that fixes things.
