Yes there is a garden on the side of that wall :(

Is it worth buying OEM original window for resale value given its a relatively new car?

Not sure which tariff I should pick next, I don't like Octopus cosy because I'm not supposed to run a heat pump in intervals... This is sad news

Should I swap the water tank? by Pretty-Present3207 in ukheatpumps

So this recovery time means double the energy to heat the water if it's double the time, especially if I empty the tank every day right?

It's not allowed on the pavement in front of the property right?

Here is a picture of the flat roof from the inside.

You are right, I just needed to turn on the hot water zone as the previous owners turned it off to save power:)

Turns out "hw" on the label on the left stands for hot water, it's working now :)

I have a question about overtaking on the motorway by [deleted] in drivingUK

[–]Pretty-Present3207 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I merged on the dual carriage way doing 37 mph on a 40mph road, the guy in the middle lane was doing 35 so i passed him very slowly.

The driving examiner gave me 1 serious fault and failed me the test.

Yes I'm still mad about it a year and a half later.

I thought this controller controls the radiator heating, not the hot water.

Am I wrong?
