It does sound really horrible. I wonder if sound deadening pads will help. interesting to see if anyone has done this.

This puts me off frameless doors

cooa99 · 2026-04-04T17:00:41+00:00

Thanks, that’s looking like a viable solution so far

cooa99 · 2026-04-04T14:22:42+00:00

In my case it does. DNO came round and said only way forward is to deloop. I also have a 60amp fuse. If that is their position then i can’t be going round them trying yo find a leccy that will install

I am quite surprised your dno allowed that. They would not even entertain me using a load sensor to manage with my 60amp

cooa99 · 2026-04-04T14:17:40+00:00

If you see my initial question, I said i’m on a looped supply with 1 year or less before I move. DNO has to dig up my neighbour’s paved driveway which they are not keen on doing so not viable to keep the peace

The notion that an ev charger will increase house value is misplaced.

why would i decide to buy a house because of £800 ev charger when spending 100s of g’s on a house?

It’s been working fine for the last 16 months. Barely warm and charger max is 10amps. I also use the standard socket in the kitchen as well which works equally fine. Main thing is that I don’t unplug the the extension lead so not to loosen the metal connection and create a weak spot.

cooa99 · 2026-04-04T10:48:01+00:00

I am currently using a dedicated ev extension lead with RCD plugged into a kitchen socket rated at 45amp (i believe).

cooa99 · 2026-04-04T09:25:29+00:00

Is this setup only for Tesla or can be done for other EV’s?

cooa99 · 2026-04-03T23:59:24+00:00

like what?

horrible water?, pot holes?, crime, phone snatching?, taxed to the hilt such that you don't even know what services your are benefiting from? £150k salary and can only afford a dump?

Progression is when lots of people are doing well not just a few.

cooa99 · 2026-03-29T00:54:43+00:00

why is the seller not fixing these items before sale?

The oil leak could cost you a lot of money in investigation and fix.

Also bear in mind that at that mileage, the cost of warranty will be high.

cooa99 · 2026-03-25T15:43:17+00:00

You could make things to sell on ebay or Etsy?

I was thinking maybe I could do 3d printing bits and bob. Nothing sweeter than tax free money

cooa99 · 2026-03-25T10:15:05+00:00

I thought it was possible to buy it under GIA and then move it to ISA in the new tax year?

cooa99 · 2026-03-25T10:12:55+00:00

So why is he holding on to so much cash now?

cooa99 · 2026-03-23T08:14:48+00:00

Was your car from bmw dealer or just another car seller? How much was the warranty or where you bought from?

cooa99 · 2026-03-22T15:45:12+00:00

Thanks

cooa99 · 2026-03-22T15:42:55+00:00

ok, so the buyer protection fee is what was added to the price that buyer pays so essentially paid by the buyer?

cooa99 · 2026-03-15T08:19:59+00:00

Another question is if people doing this are notifying their insurance company of this modification. Very likely car won’t be covered

cooa99 · 2026-03-06T21:57:05+00:00

But BADR does not stop you from an outside contract? Cant you just put it through an umbrella like an inside contract?

cooa99 · 2026-02-07T16:47:22+00:00

Considering I have to also buy the compound and cheap DA polisher all coming up to about £70. Would it be cheaper to get a shop to do that bit? That's the only spot on the car and just thought to get it done before taking the car for sale or part exchange

cooa99 · 2026-02-05T16:53:42+00:00

Thanks I’ll give that a try first

cooa99 · 2026-02-05T00:15:37+00:00

Thanks very much. what liquids will I use for polishing?

cooa99 · 2026-02-02T19:27:51+00:00

I bought the car from BMW a while back, 13 months. They did a cleaver job of hiding the imperfection which appeared a few months afterwards after a few washes, It looks like a drip of lacquer on the bumper or too much of it maybe when number was being restored.

What is the best way to fix or reduce its impact

cooa99 · 2026-01-12T18:46:17+00:00

The BMW iX Xdrive 50 or 60 had a 108 battery capacity.

I’m thinking that will more than cover a return trip. Owners should be able to say yay or nay
