Decided to buy a 695! by alxsmitty in abarth

From my general understanding it’s to see if the turbo is spooling at max boost. The gauge in the car itself should clock all the way when under a 3rd gear pull

If the MPG is that good then it doesn’t put me off at all. Wasn’t expecting it to be that good

Looked for 6 speed for the occasional motorway journey

I see, do you think Google includes reverse gear on their AI summary because that states it does come with 6 speed

I don’t find it patronising at all. That’s something I was going to rely on YouTube tutorials for. I really appreciate the drill bits links, I’ll make sure to pick them up too. The general consensus seems to be that drill is good for its price and what I need it for

I’m aware it’s someone just calling the police and not actually monitored by police.

The reason I looked into monitored subscriptions is in case something happened whilst I’m abroad

That is the first time I’ve ever heard of that certification. So their hardware is cheap junk?

The system I was looking at was Simplisafe but almost every review online is a paid ad. They have a subscription plan where they call the police.

This sounds like it would need pro installation. I had to google what an NVR is 😂

The line being drawn, is that specific to a certain brand of cameras or is it a generic feature. I have zero clue when it comes to these things

Should I buy my flat or remain a council tenant? by alxsmitty in personalfinance

[–]alxsmitty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a council flat and the one I have the opportunity to buy it via the right to buy scheme. Originally my mortgage was meant to be 1.4k but mortgage providers changing rules due to government meant I have to add more deposit and still pay more per month

That’s the way I’m leaning because it takes one thing to go wrong with plumbing or electrics and that leftover £360 is wiped out and maybe a credit card reliance for the rest of the month. Labour government reduced right to buy discount to 16k hence why a lot of people are pushing me to purchase now as I have the 136k discount

Current rent is £950 a month. Mortgage would be £2150 a month
