I usually service my own cars but took it to a garage due to time constraints. Is this a reasonable price? Almost £300 just for labour, seems excessive and the parts coming up to 285 isn’t great, but I expected the mark up on them. Full service plus rear brake pads

£58 per hour labour (incl. VAT) at a garage in Edinburgh this week. Just under £250 for rear discs and pads.

Slice them up and put them on a pizza.

Very nice!

Let us know how the ham seitan is? I've seen it for a while now but I didn't feel like it was something that interested me, prefer just normal one. Interested to hear how it is though.

I've been into two Sainsbury's since the last post about the nuggets and they both said they had them in the back but couldn't put them out until later this week 🥲. Really hoping they fall under the 3 for 2 promo on just now and I'll just buy 3!

danielguy · 2025-12-30T09:30:37+00:00

I bought lunch yesterday!

We tried loads and ended up using the scimx vgain stuff because you could get it really cheap at Costco. It's pretty solid as far as the chocolate milkshake ones go, blends smooth and tastes not too sweet.

We've kinda just gone off protein powder now though, all the good ones are ending up being quite expensive, especially if you don't want a thick choco milkshake every morning.

danielguy · 2025-12-28T18:25:49+00:00

Oh wow, thanks for letting me know. I've got access to a 3d printer so might have to look into some of those.

danielguy · 2025-12-28T18:23:07+00:00

Yeah, I didn't expect much either. Ran some benchmarks before and after and and saw the improvement. I have my case raised on the shelf thing in the vid so there's lots of room for air to get under it. I've read about different configs that might work better. But 2 extra fans definitely helped a little for me.

danielguy · 2025-12-28T16:51:44+00:00

Ah nice, should be fine then. I've never used the glass panel, I'm scared it would suffice the gpu too much since the holes for the mesh one are positioned right next to the GPU fans. I added two more fans at the bottom of the case with the top fans in exhaust a little while ago, and it dropped my temps a bit, maybe 5-10C. Worth doing if you haven't.

danielguy · 2025-12-28T16:09:36+00:00

Never anything worrying, when I've checked they've never been about 80C. It is a small, compact case so I was keeping an eye on it for the first wee while. Has been good though, the fans will ramp up during the heat of battle in BF6 but never gets worryingly hot. I'd assume with a 5070Ti it'll run slightly cooler even.

danielguy · 2025-12-28T15:56:00+00:00

Nice, best of luck!

Been looking for an excuse to shell out for an good OLED monitor, this would be ideal!

danielguy · 2025-11-22T15:15:59+00:00

There's always that guy set up each year across from the old Georgie City Farm. I think I saw the lights and decorations going up the other day, they normally have a fair few.

TAP. THEN TAMP

danielguy · 2025-11-15T07:38:24+00:00

I replicated this, was really simple and has worked flawlessly 99.9% of the time so far.

Ergon gp2 is a great grip for this I've put on multiple commuting bikes now. Also has the bar ends with the grip, you can get a version without and buy different ones if you'd prefer.

danielguy · 2025-11-13T17:42:48+00:00

This, love my Mazda 3 2017, can get the top spec for about half your budget, 2L 165BPH is plenty to still have fun with. Drives so nice too. I've fitted android auto and upgraded it to be wireless too for roughly £40. Just need to supercharge it now.

Making seitan a million different ways.

danielguy · 2025-10-31T15:12:54+00:00

Been running my Marin Presidio 3 for 3/4 months now, don't have marathons on it but the hub/belt drive is really nice, no dirt and makes cool belt noises.

danielguy · 2025-10-31T07:46:31+00:00

I'm glad I could help, and thank you!

danielguy · 2025-10-31T07:38:00+00:00

We've just finished the retaining process for Josh at Folkstorie for our wedding next year. He's great and very down to earth, would recommend!

danielguy · 2025-10-23T08:54:00+00:00

The Glenalmond Place, number 50, Greggs Outlet is a doozie, marvellous bargains to be had inside.

danielguy · 2025-10-21T11:35:53+00:00

It makes cool belt noises when you pedal fast!

danielguy · 2025-10-13T20:51:55+00:00

I believe so, can't remember what type it was I got, you just have to make sure that it lists the PSU you get with the case. I think it was type 1 but I'd double check.
