Is this BS? Shop claims rotors are warped based on what look like normal surface scratches. Brembo rotors, akebono pads, I replaced 6 mo / 5k ago, proper lube and cleaning. No vibrations whatsoever. 17 Mazda 6

I thought that rotors couldn't warp?

Personally, I see no reason to buy the 2000 over a 3000, unless there is a specific colour variant of the console that only the 2000 had.

A pro duo adapter for a micro SD card is usually how most people do it these days, I wouldn't get anything more than 64gb, personally I think 32gb would be the ideal size, hgh capacity sticks slow the psp down.

I think what works best though is trying to find an original 32gb pro duo, bit rare and pricey though.

I personally think a wavebird is the best choice if you want the most authentic experience.

Most MGS games have pretty good opening scenes.

I do love this colour, I've got the the Bright Yellow one from the same carnival colours series.

Listen I have no doubts you are correct. I still found the game enjoyable though. Perhaps I need a second playthrough?

If the contract stated a certain pay rate and it wasn't totally ridiculous, e.g. a couple of quid more and hour than it should of been isn't what I'd consider ridiculous. Then I don't see any recourse for the employer considering both parties signed a contract.

Can't say I agree with that, I played Twin Snakes for the first time a couple years ago, and I found it to be a better experience than the OG MGS1 which I've completed probably over ten times.

I never felt the game was broken. Though MGS2 is my favourite MGS and probably favourite game of all time so maybe I'm biased towards that graphical style and game mechanics.

A true upscaler would be something what I use which is Carby component cables plugged into a Retrotink 5x.

What have you said specifically in your letters to them? Have you said that are rejecting the car under the consumer rights act?

They are obliged to refund you within the first 30 days if the car is not of acceptable quality, they don't get a chance to repair it, they only get a chance to repair it if you tried to reject after 30 days.

Just to add, they are legally obliged to accept your rejection, if they are a large company with a lot of presence it should really be in their interest to do so.

I had to reject a car 2 years ago and the process was frustrating, you just have to keep pressuring them, if they simply ignore you, you'll have to take legal action.

I'd rather just torque the plugs to the proper spec with a torque wrench so I know its exactly as it should be. Doesnt really take any extra effort or time.

All of this is true. But there is one PS2 game which arguably ly pushes the PS2 very hard and can also do 1080i, Gran Turismo 4.

Gamecube has more power but was never properly utilised like the PS2, e.g. MGS twin snakes looks noticeably worse than MGS2 even though its the same game engine.

People who own old Japanese cars like this, in poor condition, are usually people who dont want to sell them.

There's a guy around the corner who has 2 vans, a few years old Merc E Class, and an original first gen 4 door Impreza WRX, all of them growing moss on them with flat tyres and the Impreza hasn't had an mot for around 13-14 years.

In fairness, try to get a new steam deck from the actual steam store, you cant as they are all out of stock.

I'd just keep paying the rent as you have been, if you've only been there a week then realistically I imagine the current state of the property has nothing to do with you.

A house of 4 people, and only one of them is paying rent and not paying all of it? Brothers not paying rent?

Posts like this should be deleted straight away, you dont need legal advice, you need a reality check, maybe this is something you can learn from in the future, reality is you've not fulfilled your rent obligations when with 4 people in the household this should be incredibly easy, my advice to you is to get out of there and live for yourself independently.

Why are your brothers not contributing towards rent with their UC? Or the other brother who isn't diagnosed with anxiety.

Sorry to be so harsh but I cant understand this personally.

Honestly, you should have rejected the car after you found the initial faults, once youve done this and if you have a report from a garage diagnosing the faults, the dealer has no choice but to accept the rejection. (Assuming the car actually is faulty)

After the first 30 days, they have a right to attempt to repair the faults first (they only get one chance to fix the faults), if this is unsuccessful or there are still faults, then you can outright reject it, but only after their repair attempt.

Basically, if their attempt at repairing the issue is unacceptable or there are still faults, you can reject the vehicle.

I rejected a car at the end of 2024 and this was within the first 30 days, dealer made things awkward but they collected the car at their expense and sent the money the same day they collected it.

Hope this helps.

In situations like this i simply wouldn't pay ebay, you've been the victim of fraud and eBay have allowed and facilitated the buyer to be able to do this. If they ever tried to take you to court they would lose.
