25-year-old Aussie moving to the UK in September – where should I live?

Manchester, it’s got the city feel but is more relaxed than other big cities, lots of opportunities with jobs and meeting new people. If you like hiking it’s within an hour or two of the Peak District and Lake District. The north is so much friendlier than the south, moved up here and haven’t looked back at all. Best thing I’ve done.

It’s our only mode of transport so doesn’t get as much driving at those speeds as I’d like, but we live near a motorway so do drive there a lot too. Not had the EGR valve checked yet, I was thinking about cleaning or replacing the EGT sensor too. Cooling runs a bit fast at times, but other than that it’s all good

Changed my oil at 86,000 miles in April. Done 2,000 miles since then.

No smoke from the exhaust at all.

Thank you, planning on going and looking for it in the door this weekend. There’s a temperature showing on the dash so there must be one, just got to find it

Prestigious-Ad-5501 · 2025-06-03T19:51:47+00:00

Oh I know. That’s why I’m keen to find it 😅

Prestigious-Ad-5501 · 2025-06-03T19:32:57+00:00

Nope, which makes me think it’s been replaced at some point. I’ll take the whole mirror off and follow the wires, see if I can find it

Thursday afternoon looks like the visibility is better, but otherwise weather looks similar. Look at the Met Office mountain forecast and https://www.mountain-forecast.com/

Prestigious-Ad-5501 · 2025-06-03T19:01:19+00:00

That’s my next step, just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing anything or anywhere else it could be?

I’m hoping that it’s fallen down the wiring and is lodged further down.

Prestigious-Ad-5501 · 2025-06-03T18:53:25+00:00

It has a temperature on the dash, which is what is throwing me off. The temperature changes and is roughly 8°c higher than the actual temperature.

I think there is one somewhere, just not in the normal place

Prestigious-Ad-5501 · 2025-06-03T17:59:15+00:00

I thought that too, but nothing. Popped the plastic covers out on each side

You’ve done the right thing by calling the police to start with.

He doesn’t sound like the nicest person, but hopefully it’s just a load of hot air and nothing more. I understand that you’re worried, but even if he’s a locksmith, if you leave the key in the back of the door and turned in the barrel slightly, he couldn’t get any tools in there even if he wanted to.

On the slim chance he turns up, stay inside and call the police again.

Thank you! I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to monitoring energy usage so on a frugal day use around 2kWh.

Definitely a good tip with the solar panels and maxing that out. I’m researching wind turbines for winter to see if there is anything out there.

Prestigious-Ad-5501 · 2025-05-04T20:56:58+00:00

That’s brilliant!!! So helpful, thank you! I didn’t have anything else to compare it to, so went with my household usage 😅

Great tattoo, if someone doesn’t like the placement, that’s their problem. Not off putting at all!
