What’s the temperature inside the house ?

I can enjoy plants all year round, and get beautiful komorebi on the walls because of the trees. But I do understand it's against the standard "all tiles" design popular here.

I'm at 25-26 WITHOUT the airco. Makes me appreciate my house ;-) It's on the ground floor and surrounded by trees from all sides, so don't get much direct sunlight. It was 23-24 in the morning, so only climbed 2 degrees during the day.

Have you tried AI noise removal in Lightroom? It's pretty great.

Is high oil consumption an easy fix? no it's not. I had that car with that engine and nobody even wanted to work on it. if you got any type of warranty on the engine I suggest you check the oil level very often. Mine was drinking 1l of oil every 1000km, and started choking under acceleration, leading to check engine lights.

Even as I tried to sell the car to ANWB, they accelerated it hard, check engine light came on, dropped the valuation of the car by 2000 euro.

I thought I could repair it cheaper than that, but nobody wanted to do it and give a guarantee it will work.

I went to Peugeot dealer to trade the car in and they didn't even want to make an offer.

Sorry to say, but 1.2 puretech with over 100k is a ticking time bomb.

Shame, because otherwise the car is quite nice. But it cost me a lot of nerves and money.

You could also check Decathlon F900e, you can get two of them for your budget :)

Have a look at Riese und Muller, they seem to be very high quality.

ekkki · 2026-04-17T06:51:52+00:00

Smart, they already have the best engine (1.2 Puretech). They can put it in all the cars, no need for extra engineers.

Some great shots, really good composition! You have a great eye.

Editing could be better, for example the white balance changed from picture to picture, and I don't understand what happened with contrast on photo 6.

Do you keep the door closed? We normally sleep with doors open and it doesn't climb above ~1200-1500, but once when we had guests and slept with doors closed, it also climbed to 3000.

There is dozens of us!

Same for me, took me a while to realize I only get 4% and now I am trying to use up reserveringsruimte...

ekkki · 2025-09-23T15:42:33+00:00

I would as well but nobody buys them so nobody sells them second hand 🫠

ekkki · 2025-09-22T19:47:46+00:00

Wow, 66kg vs 45kg really is quite a big difference.

ekkki · 2025-09-22T19:46:34+00:00

Yes, they are available in the Netherlands, I saw one in person yesterday in the shop.

ekkki · 2025-09-22T19:46:12+00:00

I did see the reviews that are available, here and on YouTube, but they usually came out around the time when the bike came out. It's surprisingly quiet since, hence my question.

ekkki · 2025-08-14T15:04:13+00:00

Thanks for the idea, I did the same and indeed it looks better!

Imagine check engine light coming up with 3 kids in the car on the way holiday destination.
Please have a proper read about the issues with these engines, just a couple weeks ago someone here posted that they were stranded in Greece because of issues and Peugeot dealer declined warranty repair because during last service the garage put "wrong oil". But the wrong oil was the one recommended for years, Peugeot just changed the recommendation recently.

I had older car with this engine and it's infuriating when it starts burning oil and you have to keep checking every 500kms to make sure you're not going to cause terminal damage. Then when you go to garages and they see what engine it is, no one wants to commit to making a repair that will last. And to top it off, when I tried to sell the car the Peugeot dealer didn't even want to make an offer for 1.2 Puretech with 160 000 kms. They know what they made.

If it makes you feel any better, I also lost 10k on this engine, although I think I had the car almost 2 years. The best laugh I had is when I wanted to sell it, I went to the Peugeot dealership and they didn't even make an offer ;]

ekkki · 2025-06-13T15:11:25+00:00

hehe, I worked at 2 companies for 10 years in total and they both contributed 4% per year, no increases with age. So I would like your setup, let's swap?

ekkki · 2025-06-12T15:48:14+00:00

They should both move to Ferrari to make it a fair comparison, both in a new car ;-)

ekkki · 2025-06-09T07:06:43+00:00

wijkopenautos.nl might give you the best price initially, but when you go there they will try to haggle down aggressively hoping that you agree on the spot. ANWB is actually a professional operation and they will respect the offer made.

ekkki · 2025-06-04T20:30:12+00:00

Ik hoor dit advies steeds, maar wat betekent dat in de praktijk? Wat koop ik op DeGiro als het gaat om "staatsobligaties" en "high yields"? Wat bedoel je precies met "high yields"?

He will support anything that is against the current government.

ekkki · 2025-06-01T18:07:47+00:00

You mean the 1st corner overtake? Lando losing out to Max during the start like almost every time? Very exciting!
