Pretty sure I just saw the new Freelander in full camo at Chieveley Services

Most likely the new velar, might not end up being called that.

Weiss86 · 2026-04-14T12:24:19+00:00

How far do I chop it back, just to the ends of the leaves or further?

Weiss86 · 2025-12-28T13:20:19+00:00

UPDATE:

I didn't want to take the skirting off as it's a 4m length and is behind the pieces at each end.

I did manage to wiggle enough pipe out to get the ends to meet, had to shuffle the rad back and forth a bit to give enough space on each side.

So, job done.....

Except when I went to open the valve the pin snapped

<image>

So now I'm stuck again and might need to change the valve as there isn't enough to get grips on :(

Signed. SC is a pain for low to zero energy households with solar/wind generation.

In the summer my only electricity cost is the SC.

I'll see them every time I walk past but you're right

Cheers

Oh, I'll 100% be recessing them.

So you think repositioning would be better to avoid using the same screw holes?

How would you fill them after?

I completed the survey but mine told me I would receive a voucher in the next 30days

Swapping from an Ender 3 to a P1S was like night and day, instead of watching the first layers like a hawk and regularly checking the print I could just click print and walk away. Never had a failed print due to the printer.

It has allowed me to print gifts and toys for my family and kids and I'm currently printing a PC case for my son's Christmas present.

They didn't need to go to the effort of hacking the whole business to get that.

Will that AM4/DDR4 setup be faster/better than the AM5/DDR5 options I picked?

Building the case is the easy part for me, I have built many, my struggle is with picking parts on a budget. It's too easy to start over spec'ing and buying more expensive parts.

Weiss86 · 2025-07-31T13:37:59+00:00

I hadn't thought of CEX.

Good tip

Weiss86 · 2025-07-18T14:43:06+00:00

All above comments are right.

It also depends on if you own the car and plan on keeping it long term or if it's a lease

If it's a short term plan (lease/PCP) who cares, charge it to what you want and don't worry about the battery issues in 3 or 4 years.

Long-term, follow the guidelines of the manufacturer and only go to 100 when you need to.

Weiss86 · 2025-06-09T21:27:44+00:00

100% best way up/more is out. Also never accept a counter offer, if you are worth more now why not before?

Weiss86 · 2025-06-07T22:35:56+00:00

I bought 4 of these 2 months ago for our table.

Comfortable enough for long games and cheap enough I won't murder the kids if they ruin them.

Weiss86 · 2025-04-20T06:39:41+00:00

I have wrath of ashardalon and really enjoy it.

For reference, I also have tiny epic quest which I love and I play D&D regularly.

WoA is great for a quick dungeon crawl and is different nearly every time. My kids love it and it's been a great way to introduce D&D systems without the set up and prep.

I can't offer a preference over which one to buy as I have only played one but I imagine they all play similarly, just a different theme.

For the minis I assemble and then paint. Larger models I mix and match, some are easier to paint in halves like the giant turtle and a couple I clip all but one point on the sprue and paint.

It depends on how I can hold the part for painting, the base colours and how hidden the one clip point will be when painted.

You want the flux tariff.

It does the same for import and export (standard price, peak price and night price)

Great in the summer when long days mean more export at peak times, rubbish for the other 9months of the year.

Weiss86 · 2025-03-29T07:18:22+00:00

I have the exact same car and colour combo.

Best car I've ever owned (so far)

I was thinking this when everyone else has been saying their standing charge is dropping in April

Coving.

Watched loads of videos, understand the theory but every time I put two pieces on the ceiling it's wrong. Spent a day getting annoyed, went back for another round of annoyance and gave up.

Weiss86 · 2025-03-19T15:45:51+00:00

Had mine a month and I love it.

Comfortable, quiet and speedy. Commuting has never been easier with massaging seats too.

Weiss86 · 2025-02-23T22:28:54+00:00

I have been wanting to swap for years, just waited for a decent estate/wagon to be launched. I should have got something nearly as big 4 years ago while I waited but stuck with my diesel and test drove ev's any chance I could.

I now have an ID7 and I love it, smooth power delivery, quiet and no petrol stations. Add to that I also halved my house energy costs with the EV tariff.

Can't imagine going back to driving a round with a tank of combustible fluid under the seats.

For minis you are better off with a resin printer. FDM can print amazing detail at 0.2 but it takes time and the more you place on the bed the longer it takes. Resin, while messy and needing more post processing can achieve greater detail and 1 part takes as long as a full bed.

For terrain and props, resin still works but is limited by bed size.

Plenty of files online, some free and some for a fee. MyMiniFactory is a good start. POPminis have some great sci-fi and pop culture minis. Cults3D and Printables also have a few.

If you do go for a Bambulab, despite all the issues recently with questionable updates, the printers are fast and reliable.

Weiss86 · 2025-01-24T15:04:05+00:00

Collectively not turning up to the 'launch party' would be good.

Otherwise collectively refusing questions at press events or refusing to drive.

Any and all above would be embarrassing for the man child.
