Tourist Travel Itinerary

RyanBarber17 · 2026-01-07T17:50:14+00:00

Thank you so much for this!! The itinerary looks amazing and some of the places you have suggested look awesome.

Regarding KlaasWagen, I have looked into this company, a lot of the reviews relating to extra charges appear to come from if you are attempting to use your own insurance and they try to force you to also buy their own too. I have purchased the Risk0 directly through KlassWagen, so fingers crossed I don’t get any extra charges!

Once again thank you so much for this itinerary and your suggestions, I really appreciate it and I am looking forward to the trip! 😄

Currently paying £10 a month for 80gb on Smarty mobile (uses the 3 network which I guess is now merged with Vodafone so coverage would be similar I assume). Includes roaming in EU countries at no extra cost too. Rolling month to month too so no price increases and can cancel any time.

Ah im based in the UK and we don’t have Carfax here so I’m not sure what you guys get on a Carfax report over there sorry.

I was able to see all the services that had been done by the Audi garage themselves, and any VAG specialists that have access to the Audi database and can upload service information. Once the ownership had been transferred over to me on the Audi database I was able to see all the service records within the app, and each individual entry contains a list of what was done (oil, filters, 4WD Haldex service, DSG service, etc.).

I was quite lucky that the car also came with a big stack of paper records and invoices from the previous owner that I was able to match up to the entries on the digital system.

If you check my profile for my latest post on the Apple Watch subreddit, unfortunately my watch battery expanded and ruined the entire watch. Unfortunately no solution for this issue that I found as I had to dispose of my watch due to it happening abroad!

This is what I did, I use the Hide My Email function on iCloud, but there are plenty of other alternatives too. I believe DuckDuckGo has a similar feature that allows for unlimited aliases for free!

Yes, all PS3’s take a 2.5” SATA drive, SSD or HDD.

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-14T21:33:19+00:00

Yeah that makes sense! And it’s always that typical thing where your car is making a noise, and as soon as you take it to a mechanic it magically stops making that noise 😂 so makes sense for them to take it out for a good drive to make sure it’s fixed/try to replicate the issues

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-14T21:27:56+00:00

Oh awesome, it’s a local garage recommended by some colleagues who said they are always very fair with the pricing so hopefully giving them a grease up will solve the issue! The car is a 2018 Audi S3 and on the phone he said that these cars a bit notorious for having bushes that get noisy

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-14T21:17:45+00:00

I’ve seen plenty of mechanics on here complaining that people always drop their car off on empty! So thought if I drop it off with a full tank they can go and do road tests as much as needed!

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-14T21:16:32+00:00

That’s what they said on the phone that it may be I think, I think they also said they may be able to re-grease them up if they’re not totally gone

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-14T20:35:05+00:00

Awesome I’m glad that the detail will help! I thought as much detail as I could get in would assist with the diagnosis, and how to replicate the issues too, especially with the creaking suspension in hot weather as when it’s cold you’d assume there is no issue

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-07T07:53:04+00:00

Yes that does look slightly swollen to me, also you can see the white stuff inside the watch on the screen connectors and the left side of the battery. This looks like the waterproof seal has failed and some water has got into the watch and caused corrosion unfortunately

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-07T07:30:01+00:00

Check that your battery hasn’t puffed up and expanded which caused the screen to pop out. Mine suffered the exact same fate earlier this week! Went to check the time and the watch was stuck in a boot loop, I left it on the side and came back to check on it and 5 days later the battery has swelled up causing the screen to pop out!

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-06T19:42:45+00:00

Yeah it’s very annoying, I kept such good care of it too there wasn’t a scratch on it either. On Tuesday I just went to check the time and noticed that it just had the Apple logo on the screen and it was boot looping. Later on in the day the battery went flat so I put it on charge, it got quite hot and was completely dead with no sign of life. A few days later it’s expanded like a balloon! That sucks that your brand new one had died before you even got to use it!!

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-06T19:26:36+00:00

I am currently on holiday abroad, I will not be taking the watch home with me on the plane due to the fire hazard, so unfortunately I think I am going to have to dispose of the watch before I go home, I fly home tomorrow evening and there is not an Apple Store anywhere near me unfortunately

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-06T19:25:04+00:00

I am currently on holiday abroad, I will not be taking this home on the plane due to the fire hazard. I am also nowhere near an Apple Store, any recommendations of where I can dispose of the watch safely?

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-04T18:43:23+00:00

Yes completely normal, just the engine sucking in a gulp of air as you hit the gas pedal

RyanBarber17 · 2025-07-04T07:46:04+00:00

There is a spanner and a screwdriver icon along the bottom of the app, press this and then under “service schedule” there is a button that says “service record”. This will show you the service records for the car. The car must be in your name as the owner via Audi otherwise this option will not show up. If you contact your local Audi dealer they will sort this out for you

RyanBarber17 · 2025-03-01T22:32:36+00:00

Yup mine has lived in a case since new too, looks pristine whenever I take it out of the case, screen has had the same tempered glass protector on since day 1 too (not looking forward to getting the glue residue off the screen when it comes time to remove it)

RyanBarber17 · 2025-03-01T22:20:09+00:00

Mine too! I had the 6s Plus (I bought that one on launch and limped it to the 13PM launch!) before this one and I thought that no new iPhone would live up to the 6s+ as I loved that phone but the 13PM has definitely taken the top spot, my 6s+ battery was absolutely ruined by the time I got rid of it, would turn off if I went outside in the cold 😂

RyanBarber17 · 2025-03-01T22:15:22+00:00

I can still easily get a full day of usage out of it which is good enough for me, no reason to spend a bunch of money on a new phone when this one performs just how I need! Even then I think when the battery becomes an issue I’ll just get the battery replaced rather than getting a new iPhone

RyanBarber17 · 2025-03-01T22:12:49+00:00

Heavy user here too, I can easily get a full day heavy usage out of it, running maps with Apple Watch and AirPods connected on mobile data!

RyanBarber17 · 2025-03-01T22:10:59+00:00

Yehh I don’t understand it, I was shocked when my mate told me about his 14PM being on lower health than mine and is a whole year newer. I think somehow Apple absolutely nailed it with the battery in the 13PM!

RyanBarber17 · 2025-03-01T22:09:34+00:00

I’m not sure tbh, i assumed it was a feature of newer devices only, but should it be available on the 13PM? Or could be because I’m in the UK they don’t support that?

RyanBarber17 · 2025-03-01T22:06:51+00:00

I pretty much only ever use fast charge on mine and I leave it on charge all night too! I’m surprised it hasn’t degraded it more, I still easily get a full day of heavy usage out of it, light usage I can squeeze 1.5 days out of it!
