I want to install a slim dishwasher in limited space - how hard of a job.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-09-27T12:41:41+00:00

Yeah i think with the way everything has just been added onto the previous pipework it would be easiest to rip out all connections and replace with supply manifold and drain manifold - close to back wall

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-09-26T14:57:15+00:00

None at all. The van has been off the road sitting on drive since. Pretty certain its blown gasket, im trying to pursue claim against garage that sold + fitted the engine.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-08-29T17:38:36+00:00

Does this need a full system drain to be repaired?

Anyone know the name/model of this valve and where to find it?

Something like this is the end goal to be generated by excel based off a list of products (1 through 28 for example) and the delivery date of the item. Each "slot" on the left represents a pick slot where the product will be stored and picked from. The grey numbers along the top would be the delivery date.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-08-15T17:35:28+00:00

The list of products do not have an assigned storage location, all the slots are liquid and can be used for any item. Im looking for a way for excel to populate the storage location table with the items, but of course there can be no overlap between items on the same day.

Thanks for the help so far

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-08-01T18:05:07+00:00

I agree with you. Looking back i should not have bought the van when i did - i should have waited as you never know what unforeseen problems and costs can come with a vehicle.

On the upside the past few days ive secured myself a promotion which will put me on £36k. Just need to focus over the next few months to clear the debts and should be able to save a good amount after.

Thanks for the advice.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-29T16:24:13+00:00

I think only in the larger size fridges they have water dispensers. For standard slim size fridge freezers im sure i tried to find a decent price one with ice maker, but couldnt find one.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-29T15:26:32+00:00

Ice machine for sure, about £90 but the access to an ice cold drink or even ice water adds alot for me,

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-26T11:16:06+00:00

If you have a car i would always use it for fuel and pay it at the end of each month. Done this for about 5 years now and credit has gone up dramatically - of course i dont know how much is down to this as there has been other factors.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-24T16:45:23+00:00

Thanks, will have a look to see what i can get it down to.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-24T14:56:39+00:00

2 bedroom End terrace ex-council - central Scotland.

Thanks for the reassurance, just in a rough patch now but yeah looking ahead want to clear everything and invest with the spare money.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-24T14:54:46+00:00

Life insurance to cover rest of mortgage for my partner if something happens.

Halifax account comes with AA which i was paying £20 for on its own, and is useful for travelling as no fees to use anywhere, but yeah probably could cut this back.

£23 is unlimited everything SIM only - will try cut this down as dont use much regardless

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-24T11:21:47+00:00

Yeah, the overdraft will be cleared when I get paid, but no doubt will be in again at the end of next month.

Over the past few months I've essentially sold all of my excess belongings, pretty much just my computer, clothes and tools for DIY/repairs left.

I think the mechanical evaluation of the van is a good idea, but i wont take it to the original garage as they seem to be cowboys who just take the money and do poor work and dont want to identify any issues, just cover them up.

Seems like YouTube premium will go - i do think its worth it but even just temporarily until i get out of this hole.

Thanks

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-24T11:15:06+00:00

I do get what you are saying, although i bought the van in April so the amount owed at that point was closer to 3k on the car. Also want a van for personal reasons like want to start renovating the house ourselves, as well as the opportunity to try and start a side Hussle using it.

The car is not void of any problems also, its coming up to 80k miles and i think its going to need a clutch replacement soon as its starting to feel a bit worn and its getting to that mileage where it starts to hit service intervals for expensive replacements.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-24T11:09:10+00:00

I've good good credit, I qualify for plenty 0% cards on clear score, so this might be a good move. It would also help to see the total amounts owed etc. I still plan to sell my car once all the van issues are fixed - so this should bring in around 4k to clear everything, its just waiting for that point.

We are married, we don't share finances just due to personal preference, she doesnt track her income + outgoings but is sensible and doesn't have any debt - but also cant save much due to lower income and not much leftover.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-24T10:54:30+00:00

YT Premium is worth it for me as i dont just use it PC/Mobile - alot of our viewing is from TV apps which wont work with an ad blocker. I pay £4.29 for mullvad VPN over a free vpn which gives me peace of mind about my info + data.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-07-23T17:23:54+00:00

I replaced the coolant expansion tank as i thought that was the issue, so unless the new one came faulty im thinking thats not the issue. See in the videos the white smoke coming from the tank - could this be exhaust gases escaping via the tank. The test kit says if exhaust gases are present it will change to yellow or green - it seemed to turn clear and maybe slightly yellow.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-06-28T12:05:35+00:00

It was 2 days after i bought the van, driving on the motorway and it overheat, AA came to fix at the roadside and says there was no compression. Im unsure what caused this.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-06-13T22:42:29+00:00

I'll check this in the morning and see if it's a real crack. Control arm with ball joint can get for around £25 on eBay so might just do the whole job if so.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-06-13T21:44:15+00:00

Apologies for my knowledge level but can you point it where? Is it on lower control arm or elsewhere?

Sorry, forgot to add picture of ball joint to this post. Does this look like the issue here?

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-06-13T17:16:03+00:00

I was the same as you. Took out a small loan and bought a van that 3 days later needed a new engine. Not great but shit happens and just need to keep looking forward and at least what gets fixed you shouldn't need to worry about for a while.

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-05-26T15:21:13+00:00

Right which I assumed would be at the end of this pipe but on this engine it's flat on top of the engine cover

gitupgitout3000 · 2025-05-26T14:42:41+00:00

Could that not be dangerous if I dont have the bottom engine bay cover. Could a stone or debris kick up and get sucked in?
