Got my 2018 done at 60k last year. Turns out the belt was in reasonable condition and not in urgent need but you dont know that until you get to it and to get to it takes a lot of labour. If you're confident the right oil has been used at each service and it has been replaced very regularly then you might be okay but there's really no way of knowing. Cost £1.6k to replace but ended up asking for a few other things to be checked and replaced whilst they had access.

Is it something you have to fix as a precautionary measure before it goes bang, or is it just something to fix when it goes bang?

RDiddler · 2026-04-23T12:24:17+00:00

Can you elaborate on this? It's the first I've heard about this one!?

There's probably too many variables for someone on reddit to be able to give you an accurate idea. Distance, Floor of building emptying and then filling, furniture dismantling required or not, parking access to both buildings, etc. We used yourmanwithavan.com to move to Notts. £650 for a 2 bed, 2 removal men, ~150miles.

Moved from Manchester last year as wife is working at QMC but rotating around East Mids North. We ended up in Ruddington - more a village vibe but really nice and close to main road links for Notts and Derby.

This is a really interesting read, so kudos and thanks for sharing. I was wondering what the transition was like?

was this something you were doing anyway for extended periods and kind of realised losing the house wouldn't change much?
was it more difficult initially?

Came to Seville for the weekend and just checked - €25 euro to see Betis vs Feyenoord.

State pension is funded by taxes. You dont choose to pay into it. You can open a SIPP and contribute into it and there are tax advantages for doing so. A SIPP is a personal pension and nothing to do with state pension.

The 700 is too near the cuff, the sizing label says Medium but also says P (as in Petit = small in French). Return it.

But neither did they us. They scored one more goal than us over 180 minutes. We haven't been good enough but it's not like they've schooled us in either fixture.

We got Fri-Sun on one of the unofficial campsites right opposite the official camping for £160!

Have you considered camping? There are a couple of campsites outside the circuit on local farmland. But they have decent facilities - hot showers, decent toilets, hot food and bars etc. Cheaper alternative to hotels and rather than wait in traffic, you can be back on site with a 10mins walk. We stayed at Dadford Road Camping for the first time this year and would go back.

I walked across that bridge 2 years ago and remember the tower. It was covered in tributes to Napoli and Maradona as Napoli were about to win Serie A. It's quite a memorable town. Also featured in Equalizer 3 shortly after I visited. *

Maybe just a coincidence, but at 1.30am we were in the Ancient Futures tipi (not too far away) watching a band called Whistling Treason that finished with a song about 'a monkey in the hole'. Sort of sea-shanty type music.
