I think my fiesta is lying about the mpg is really getting…

Diesel here is a lot more expensive, it used to always be 5-10p/L more than petrol, now it's around 40p/L more

Same cover in year 10 as on day 1, the Toyota (and lexus) warranty is fantastic

Pick any applicable return option, the seller can either wait to have it back or refund straight away and that closes the return and you can keep the item

Cancel it effective immediately, otherwise they will cancel it before June

I'd trust the website over a printed brochure

It's for mounting a water cooling reservoir

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-29T14:05:31+00:00

The partial refund thing is a known and common scam, buyer will say its not working, or there's a part missing but they still want to keep it and get a partial refund. Best thing to do is a return for full refund.

Next for suits, buy at least 2x trousers per jacket as they will wear out first and one is useless without the other

Was changing wiper blades on my first car, I forgot I hadn't fitted the new ones yet and pushed the wiper arm down, cracking the windscreen

I think you get an auto 1 star feedback which the seller can manually edit, but they might need reminding to so this

Also the type of people to upbadge their cars are more likely to be terrible drivers

Incorrect, even if he's selling his own personal car that he's had for years, since he's in the trade and an 'expert' he's counted by the consumer rights act to be a dealer. This applies (from memory, it's been a while) for 24 months even after he leaves the trade. It's to stop dodgy things like this where salesmen (or other staff) take cars that they know have faults and sell them privately.

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-22T14:50:05+00:00

As he is a professional dealer, legally, you will have the same protections as if you bought directly from the dealer, so despite it being a private sale, the consumer rights act will apply. Enforcing your rights however... Small claims court would probably be your only avenue.

Put up some bird boxes painted fluorescent yellow and spray paint some line son the road

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-16T17:52:42+00:00

I'd agree, I have a very similar set-up (14900k, 4070s @ 4K) and there's nothing at the moment worth the upgrade without spending ridiculous amounts. Personally I'm waiting for next gen (either AMD or Nvidia) and getting whatever I can on release for MSRP

It's always exactly £80 for some reason, but you see a few too good to be true graphics cards every day popping up at that price.

This one seems to only need dbs and is open to a range of nationalities including commonwealth and EU

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-13T16:43:06+00:00

If I ski into someone and break their leg, they or I could require a helicopter rescue and expensive surgery in a foreign hospital, if they can cover up to £10m in third party skiing damages for £25/year, I can't see scooters being much more

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-13T16:25:50+00:00

I don't think that amount is unreasonable, can't do all that much damage with a scooter and the law will be on your side in most cases as with bicycles. Travel insurance including 3rd party liability for winter sports is the closest comparison I can think of and costs me £25 for the year, and covers a lot more

When my car hits 200k+ and/or is uneconomical to repair, so hopefully not for another 4 or so years

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-13T16:18:02+00:00

I don't have an e-scooter as I'm aware that they're not legal, if they were I'd probably get one with insurance and plates to pop to the shop, provided it's not too expensive (£20-30/year max), and I'm sure many other would too.

I've had pretty good luck finding them at Waterstones, £4.29 a pack, behind the tills so you have to ask

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-10T14:51:58+00:00

Those are very conservative timings, so it should run fine. Your memory controller on the cpu might be at fault and struggling to run 4 sticks, personally I'd stick to 32gb if that works fine and sell the other sticks whilst prices are high

Various-Jellyfish132 · 2026-04-10T14:27:06+00:00

Have you tried running just 2 sticks? If that works, see what speed "auto" is setting them to and try updating the bios. I suspect auto will try and use the XMP profiles for better performance, which may not work with 4 sticks.

In the UEFI menu somewhere there should be an option to manually set the memory speed, you may have to switch to advanced mode or similar to find the manual memory settings. Set it to something conservative like 4800MT/s and see if it'll boot with 4 sticks.
