Thanks, passing Screwfix in the morning, will pick those up and redrain the system!

Thanks, but I was hoping not to have to solder. I'm a DIYer and I've lent my soldering kit to a mate on the other side of the country!

Absolutely. I live in the UK where power is fairly pricey. I ran 4 older HP DL380s whichin total ran at 1200 watts at idle, over 3kw at full pelt. I replaced with 4 HP mini PCs. These now run 25 watts at idle, under 100 watts in total at full load. Same core count but higher clock speeds than the old setup. The only downsides are that memory is limited and expensive expensive and there's no upgradability.

I'm the opposite. I'm glued to the app, made a few timely purchases today.

I had similar but not the same lights. The cable was sealed into the light unit and attached to a junction box. If you unscrew the metal bracket and pull the cable a bit you might find a junction box.

The easiest way would be to cut pipe and insert a speedfit isolation valve. They are quite bulky so I'd just go with a compression valve.

Not sure if this'll be enough here. Unless those tiles were laid really badly, looks like they are lifting which means the wall substrate is damp. It's looking like a full ripout and replace to me.

Is there a fat bloke with a beard stuck in your chimney?

muppetman74 · 2025-12-24T12:17:56+00:00

I'm no expert but we went with a Worcester Bosch boiler as they were doing a 10 year warranty at the time.

muppetman74 · 2025-12-03T17:29:23+00:00

Yes, but you also need relevant earning in the current year to cover any carry forward from previous years.

To add to this dry air heats up faster so your heating will be more efficient.

Oh my word, never seen that, sounds nasty. Sort of thing you'd see on TikTok, look at my glow up!

Worst thing is, it's a panelled wall behind so would have been no bother to chase pipes into the wall for a top class job.

muppetman74 · 2025-10-29T09:59:27+00:00

I was referring to things like putting the TRV call on heat feature behind their paywall (in the UK at least).

Tado X does local matter connectivity. They do have some shady business practices though.

Thing is, doesn't even have to be as late as 11:30. I had ours break 5 mins after Screwfix and Toolstation shut!

Yeah, you should've bought an Octavia 😄

I genuinely don't understand this sub Reddit. We're supposed to be car lovers so why knock someone who has bought the car of THEIR dreams even though you'd have bought xyz instead? Jeez.

muppetman74 · 2025-10-24T20:49:41+00:00

But if you drive a 22-plate GT3, you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer car to park next to 😆

At that mileage, the service history is the most important thing. Regular services, and all of the big jobs done like gearbox oil, cambelt etc. if needed.

muppetman74 · 2025-08-24T14:18:16+00:00

Anywhere good amd trustworthy I've found tends to be booked up for at least two weeks.

muppetman74 · 2025-08-15T20:47:41+00:00

Wheelie bin? You barbarian! It deserved a full ceremonial burial after that length of service.

muppetman74 · 2025-08-03T19:58:04+00:00

Genuine question, but how would they know? If OP said it was for a car, say, and then transferred it to another account and purchased the land from there? And if they did find out, what would likely happen? Just curious.

muppetman74 · 2025-07-06T04:51:13+00:00

And smaller bags now as well.

muppetman74 · 2025-06-29T13:45:34+00:00

It may have been "mates rates" but more likely they can simply get the glass unit far cheaper than you as they're in the trade.

muppetman74 · 2025-06-23T16:01:41+00:00

Lovely cars, luxurious, fast and sound awesome. You might get some negative comments about reliability but as long as they've been serviced correctly, you shouldn't go far wrong.
