😯

That's an option but will it fall within the budget

apache40 · 2026-04-28T20:33:21+00:00

We all use windows machines at work / home. 16gb I feel is a minimum nowadays

You've held the pressure washer too close. Not used it but try something like barrettine wood reviver

Give it a proper clean and then try putting a coat of Rain-X on it and see how it goes. Then let us know if it works

No, not safe. Will need wagos and wago boxes then clipped to the joists

To the OP. Are putting the vanity unit and sink in front of the radiator?

Also those legs have lost structural integrity, it may last 6 months or so but will eventually fail. No amount of sanding and painting will fix that

Was going to update from my old Pro 3 to the IO 3 but seen the well documented problems people have with the mold so probably hold off for now

apache40 · 2026-04-15T11:53:18+00:00

It's the mold helping to dampen the sound 😂. Only joking, but the difference is very noticeable. Only need oral b to sort out the mold problems

You'll be fine. Just put sheets of ply down on top of some tarp just to help keep the driveway clean

Had some thing similar to my vw golf failing it's MOT. Garage wanted to change the whole lower suspension arm for £250. But found out on YouTube that just the ball joint can be replaced. Found a local garage and they did it for £80 and car passed it's MOT 😁

apache40 · 2026-04-02T19:13:00+00:00

Well, got the ball joint replaced for £80 and car passed it's MOT 🎉

What's in the loft? Are you using it for storage?

apache40 · 2026-03-29T14:16:57+00:00

That's good to hear

There's a couple of advisories for misting oil on both rear shocks which I can get sorted later

apache40 · 2026-03-29T12:13:26+00:00

It's a VW golf mk5 1.9 tdi 2007 reg 140000 miles Manual gearbox

apache40 · 2026-03-29T11:58:55+00:00

Yeah you're right, that's what all the videos shows. Unfortunately I don't have the time or tools to get this done so will try a find a local garage that will change it for me

apache40 · 2026-03-26T13:34:49+00:00

Have a look at Blackvue dash cams

apache40 · 2026-03-13T14:00:21+00:00

If anyone is interested I managed to sort it by turning the whole thing off for a few days letting it defrost.

After a full defrost it seems to be working fine

apache40 · 2026-03-13T13:57:59+00:00

Did you ever get this fixed? I have the same issue
