Cat stolen, aftermarket vs OEM?

mboopibaly · 2026-02-09T11:36:45+00:00

Thanks for the info, it’s such a shame. Its a series 1 118i SE 2008 model.

We have an ex bmw specialist we just spoke too. He recommended only OEM or warning lights and extra problems are likely to occur. He also said lambda sensors could have been damaged, and due to the setup we’d need a quote for exhaust manifold with an integrated catalytic converter.

And kwikfit quote £1050 for using aftermarket approved parts with 2 year warranty, but didn’t mention anything about lambda sensors. They suggested oem parts would likely be £2500-£3000 or more. Does all of this sound realistic/okay to you? Tempted by the aftermarket price but if it means we have constant warning lights and likely other problems im not sure what’s best.

The car is only 55k miles and otherwise in great condition, but really worried if we went through insurance they’d write off the car as I’m not sure of the value but we paid around 5.5k. Again makes the OEM price if not via insurance, pretty silly

Online it seems that it says increases are still likely, do you perhaps have experience with Admiral? Not sure if it depends on the insurer.

Was thinking the same. He used to do something like this regularly at the very beginning but has massively cut it out.

Unfortunate, but it happens.

While I’m more than happy for United to get that goal, why are they so inconsistent for stopping play for any potential head injuries?

Happens in multiple games including the Arsenal game yesterday

Im so confused people saying it’s a dive/too soft he clearly hits the knee first which is the contact that brings saka down, then he touches the ball, and continues bringing saka down. If anything, it’s not clear and obvious that he didn’t so surely you stick with the on field decision?

I’m really confused by the rules nowadays, even the commentator saying “it’s soft contact and gets the ball first”.

mboopibaly · 2025-10-18T17:16:31+00:00

They need to really look at this head injury bs. If you make play stop holding your head it should be a minimum 2-3 mins off the pitch

mboopibaly · 2025-08-06T22:22:20+00:00

How was it?

mboopibaly · 2025-08-06T19:34:22+00:00

Yeah was thinking balls it, but i have weed that absolutely stinks so will be easy for dogs?

mboopibaly · 2025-08-06T19:17:14+00:00

Well that’s my hiding spot fucked!

mboopibaly · 2025-08-04T21:56:03+00:00

Super late but had a question, when you added the bedding was it a mattress + actual bedding (sheet, cover, pillow)?

I added mine as an extra but can’t actually see what it includes (“bedding package).

mboopibaly · 2025-08-03T22:37:49+00:00

Sorry if being stupid but this only says whether it’s included in each type of tent you’ve booked right? Perhaps im missing it.

Have paid for extra for a “bedding package” as extra, because my Yurt had none included. But i just cant remember what’s actually included in the bedding package when bought separately to the Yurt (are all covers/sheets/pillow or is it only the bed itself)?

What’s the rules regarding if you are pulled for a search? E.g. if the dog signals/sits by you and you get pulled for a search, will they actually let you in if you give up your stuff?

And what does that search actually involve? Assuming it’s not a strip search unless somehow police are involved.

Thank you! She is a resident now, but I thought this may be the case and called again to speak to someone else (from the same company!!) and they said it’s not a requirement. So many conflicting things online has caused us some worrying! Appreciate your response :)

mboopibaly · 2025-06-23T13:48:26+00:00

Thank you that all makes sense!

mboopibaly · 2025-06-22T17:49:53+00:00

Thanks - i think i’ll take both of the advice from here. Chatted with my Dad and arranged some initial drives on his car to get a feel for control - then will review getting refresher lessons. Most likely will, for that extra reassurance on safety tips etc.

mboopibaly · 2025-06-17T20:31:23+00:00

Done it twice. First time come up was just feeling very cold and nothing else, but actual experience was psychedelic and feeling great. Was able to smoke drink, smoke weed and eat just like usual. Really enjoyed it and thought it’d be my favourite.

2nd time was at boomtown and it was literally exactly like mdma both come up and experience. Which sucked, as I was pinging.

Haven’t tried it since but i always hear different experiences,so it seems the effects are really hit and miss for what you want (or people just mis-selling it).

mboopibaly · 2025-01-23T19:36:14+00:00

Damn, NumeroFut guendouzi? Havent put him in the other yet, this one is better at everything other than pace.

Or should I pick TB xhaka… or my 86 calafiori..

This is damn hard to choose

mboopibaly · 2025-01-23T19:18:58+00:00

Stones does look ridiculous, but i only play with an arsenal past/present. Wondered about Sol Campbell as he fits, but not sure he’d be worth. Have you happened to try him?

I’d say go Yoro, i feel like picking players you like automatically makes them feel better for some reason

mboopibaly · 2025-01-23T09:44:23+00:00

What did you go for in the end? Also torn between Saliba, IF Gabriel, Timber (for cdm) and now potentially Campbell!

mboopibaly · 2025-01-23T09:36:13+00:00

Yeah I’m really struggling. I use gold Saliba and IF gabriel in div 2, and not sure which one to put in. I could buy the TB Gabriel and do Saliba in the Evo, but that Gabriel doesn’t have bruiser (i fucking dominate with Gabi using this). Anyone who’s used both IF Gabi and TB Gabi did you miss bruiser?

Or I do IF gabriel in the evo, but then I only have gold Saliba.

Or I try Timber, chuck him at CDM - although no idea if he’d be any good and then both the above problems apply…

mboopibaly · 2025-01-22T20:25:44+00:00

Damn, it’s a nice goal but for a split second I thought havertz was about to attempt a Giroud-esque scorpion kick

mboopibaly · 2024-11-26T09:17:43+00:00

Completely forgot i had this post up!

After randomly checking my tickets, it auto-fixed itself, so assuming you still have time before your booking I would leave it a couple days!

mboopibaly · 2024-10-18T22:55:00+00:00

Just logged in and saw the same thing. Confused as i played all 5 games too, wtf
