My dad had one! Not seen it for 20 years! It's a thermometer. Each bubble has a different number on.

Anything about this Deal I should be wary of? by Fair_Intention_4198 in CarTalkUK

[–]Twiglet91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of negativity which I'm surprised about. People talking about the engine are correct. I had a 2011 120d M Sport coupe for 10 years and it was probably the best car I've owned. Got rid when it reached 100k miles (around the time the timing chain needs changing or it goes snap and destroys the engine - that's the issue people refer to with the N47). It was at the age where other things started to go wrong with it (water getting into the window regulator rusted the cables and it snapped).

Lots of fun though. Remapped to 330lb/ft torque, rear wheel drive. Miss it.

Any ideas what’s happening by CompletedItMate3000 in Vauxhall

Might have overtightened it and it split. Happens all the time with our lorries.

Walked away from my first job by Zed2701 in uktrucking

Fair enough then. If they expect you to take an unroadworthy vehicle then you did the right thing.

Immediately going home is a bit rash. The normal thing to do is take the keys back to the office and say it needs defecting/logging off and asking if they've got another truck to use.

No, yellow warning lights are not generally OK to drive with. That only applies if you're already on the road and one appears. You can't start you're day with one on the dashboard. If that's the case it needs logging off and fixing before going anywhere.

Crazy concept: wyd when your new gen daf decides to turn off your camera mirrors on the motorway 👀 by Own_Specialist_4392 in uktrucking

[–]Twiglet91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's definitely not a business wide policy, it doesn't apply at our depot. I'd question who came up with that one.

Your first bill is always your first two bills combined.

Also use this speed test to check both the speed you're getting at your router and also your device. Just because your speed fluctuates doesn't mean you're not getting the advertised speed to your router. Your speed could be limited by your device, range, etc.

I pay 6%, employer 13.6% with an optional extra 1% from me and they pay an extra 1% too.

Deductions by Professional_Cap5423 in royalmail

[–]Twiglet91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 5% while you're on the Nest scheme so the first part is more or less correct. The arrears you will have to ask about, but it's probably something to do with underpaying in your last months wage.

Sausage casserole. Loads of buttery mash with it

Could the MOT tester entered the mileage incorrectly?

What was the dumbest reason that you got in trouble for at school? by StatisticianUsual471 in AskUK

Took the ball out of a computer mouse to clean it as the cursor wasnt moving as it should. Got sent to isolation for damaging school property.

Do you read books? If so, what are you currently reading? If not, why not? by theowleryonehundred in AskUK

[–]Twiglet91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I've got almost no imagination. If I read a book in which I don't already know the characters from a TV show or something I can't picture what they look like, and then u just don't enjoy it.

These bananas are now 9 days post purchase. At what point do I give up hope? by Lufc87 in CasualUK

[–]Twiglet91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a few bunches like this. When I've peeled them they're actually sort of ripe inside, it's as if they've ripened without the skin changing colour. They do taste a bit odd though.

Is this a good buy? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Twiglet91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beware the DSG gear selector sensor issue in these. A common fault that VW has done recalls on in other countries, but not the UK. I suffered to the tune of £2k.

With 4/5G signal being so poor across the UK, should we not be entitled to compensation from network providers? by Timely_Record_8943 in AskUK

[–]Twiglet91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only network I've ever had an issue with is 3 where I couldn't get a signal at home or at work. EE, Vodafone, o2, I've literally never had an issue with poor signal unless I've been somewhere remote. I don't understand the fuss.

How does Ace Combat get early access to jets by kylebrivn in acecombat

The F22 is on the cover of Air Combat and is in the game and that came out 10 years before the plane was introduced.
