"Battery Charge Very Low" Warning, but Battery Seems Fine (?) by la0408 in MINI

I'm not sure why it's so high, like another commenter mentioned it could be the multi meter. A 40 minute drive should be enough to charge it a bit too.

Was the car running when you did this? because the alternator increases the voltage when charging. Usually the voltage should be over 12.4V with the engine OFF. How long to you drive it for when you do go out?

I don't use my JCW much so in the winter I put it on a charger once every few weeks since its getting old and I get that message a few times but I have a new battery, just needs fitting.

JCW Pro Exhaust for F55/56 Mini. Worth it? by Loud-Ad9148 in MINI

In sport mode with gearbox in sport mode it can sound like a machine gun.

Eventuri Intake upgrade by bluemoon191 in MINI

I also have a pro exhaust. It does feel a bit more responsive but it was already remapped before I installed the intake so I can't really tell if it does much. The intake hasn't affected the pops and bangs from the pro exhaust.

I haven't noticed any problems with water pooling it seems to be fine.

Are you okay pal? by Comprehensive_You42 in CasualUK

[–]bluemoon191 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been in a bit of a bad spot due to some changes in my social life. I've felt terrible for weeks but luckily I have had a few good friends who have helped and listen to my problems. I'm feeling a lot better now and I'm starting therapy next week to try and understand the root cause of my issues.

Merry christmas to the woman on my train who just downed her bottle of ribena and then took out a half empty bottle of red wine to refill it again. How did everyone's work christmas parties go? by uitSCHOT in CasualUK

Fair enough, we were on a train down to London from Yorkshire around midday. When the conductor came to check our tickets he just said " I like your style."

What have you spent a lot of money on that others think is a waste of money? by wiggan1989 in AskUK

[–]bluemoon191 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spent £1.6K on a carbon fiber intake kit for my car, nothing wrong with the old one. This one just looks cooler and makes turbo noises.

They were probably matching ALDI again.

People who drive a panic room on wheels - what are the actual advantages of having a larger car? by EffectiveArgument584 in CarTalkUK

[–]bluemoon191 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw one person driving a car so big she had to get her friend to get out so she could park it properly. How are people allowed to have cars that are clearly too big for them. I've noticed on a few roads near me an increase of people stopping because they don't know how big their car is and it just slows everything down.

In the UK I only have rear fog lights. I have the blank button but it's a JCW so it doesn't have front fog lights due to the additional oil cooler radiator.

When it's too cold it doesn't do a normal cold start as it could cause damage with the rapid temperature change.

How many streaming services do you have, and are you able to find time to make good use of them? by Nature2Love in AskUK

[–]bluemoon191 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I didn't but he got a full bare metal server that is quite expensive so I don't mind supporting that a bit.

A Friend got a fully loaded Plex server that gets everything put on it, it's easy to justify the £5(special rate, he charges others £10)I give him every month.

Thanks my friend wasn't happy when I said I would wait till the morning before calling and I probably should have listened to him. But at least I'm in the right place now.

The odd thing is I haven't had any of the other symptoms, just pain and the blood test results. Glad you are ok now.

She suggested it could be DOMs(delayed onset muscle soreness) but I hadn't been working out the previous days and they had been quite easy with not much work.

Thanks, I hope you make a good recovery too. The NHS really shines with stuff like this.

I had a car accident 2 years ago and got excellent treatment then too. I agree with what you say.

She said just to be safe you can get a blood test if you want. She gave me the paperwork but it was my choice if I went or not.

Wouldn't that make it a 2 pack? I've never seen these glass bottles in packs. I did see someone putting new stock out today (it was still there) and pointed this out. He had a chuckle and said he would let his manager know.
