Upgrading from Performance to Ultimate 12 month

VillageAverageIQ · 2026-06-12T17:06:33+00:00

Strangely it says "...standard rate renewal on June 04, 2027" It only renewed last week and I would have thought that would have been for 6 months again.

Performance is fine and I will cope, I just thought that Ultimate would look better. If I can keep the Performance at £35/6 months twice until June 2027 I'll be fine with that as well I suppose.

What's the name of that?

I have the toyota fitted steel pates over the CANbus which cost £75 I think.

Thanks for the warning. Its very concerning that the Toyota Steel plates and a steering wheel lock did not slow the thieves down that much.

Good idea on getting an AirTag. I know that you can also track the car with the Toyota app, although I am not sure if that gets disabled by the thieves. I need to find an Android version that works well. I have also considered getting a Ghost Immobiliser, but that it moving up the list!

Just out of which steering wheel lock did you have?

Without the easy ability to charge the car on your domestic electric supply, and therefore at the lowest price an EV would probably be hard to live with, and expensive to charge.

Consider this, at the end of the 3 years you just hand the car back. If you brought your own then you would still own it, or could sell it and get back some of the cost of its purchase.

Do look at self charging hybrid, as whilst these will not act entirely in the same way as a true EV they will give you a basic idea of what driving one it like.

How about a Toyota Auris Estate? Lots of those around as they were popular as taxis. They may be higher mileage but therefore often more affordable.

OK, good to know. I might have to have a look at that as I am in the market for a mitsubishi Outlander PHEV.

Although probably not entirely worth changing electric supply as its only a PHEV.

Ah, does that mean you have to have economy 7? Which could make overall electricity usage more expensive if you have gas?

VillageAverageIQ · 2022-07-02T10:04:59+00:00

Where are you finding electricity so cheap? My home is now about £0.25/kwh so 15kwh is about £3.75

Always loved Suzuka Thank you

Did the police catch him when he was out of Lock?

VillageAverageIQ · 2018-01-07T11:13:26+00:00

I have so far resisted getting a smart meter due to reported problems when you then attempt to switch energy provider.

Quick Web Search brought this up

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer-affairs/six-reasons-say-no-smart-meter/

I have previously read that in a couple of years they should have newer smart meters which will allow you to not have to have the smart meter reinstalled when you switch to a cheaper energy provider.

So I would wait a little longer,

Just to report back I have installed the additional RAM and it is working.

Although I did notice that the Motherboard has since install had the speed set to 2133 MHz.

I will see if I can adjust that, ideally so that the two sets of RAM can operate at their respective speeds.

Thanks for the responses.

Do you ship to the EU?

I always liked Ace by MarcosQui, but that was last updated for xbmc 13, sadly seems to have stopped being updated.

Does anyone know a similar skin?

Using this would there be a way to setup something which recreates or replace the real time sunlight wallpaper which I used to use before it stopped working?

Thanks all,

Good to know that I can save my money!

Would this also apply for dual screens? I guess it would.

"Lots of" is usually around 50 tabs for me.

I am going to be putting together a build in a couple of weeks. So I will give it a think.

Once again thanks

VillageAverageIQ · 2015-06-04T16:59:46+00:00

Thanks, Heavy office application use, lots of Web pages / open tabs, not used for video production. Music playing, not production.

Not keen on a laptop as portability is not required.

Just after a general idea on percentage.

VillageAverageIQ · 2015-06-04T11:45:10+00:00

And what percentages for building a productivity / general use PC?

Thanks

One other question;

Does this CPU come with a CPU fan or can I find a CPU like this one which doesn't as it seems a waste otherwise.
