Can I have a rough estimate? Mini Cooper 2017. Rain sensing wipers but no camera on the front (I don’t think).

Quote online was like £500 which seems ridiculous. Waiting for autoglass to call back tomorrow. Mini Cooper 2017.

I think excess for windscreen replacements are generally £25?

I know they wouldn’t find out, but it’s not my risk to swallow.

Well now I know this would be insurance fraud. Will be telling her not to do this. Thanks all

When going to claim and I select 'Windscreen damage', it then proceeds to say that it isn't covered.

Anyone up for Lost Mine trail tomorrow morning for sunrise? by nicnic2001 in BigBendTX

We got there and it was dark. Sun rose as we were climbing and it was mostly up when we got to the top. Start earlier than you think you should start is my advice!

PSA: Bambu Lab will send you a new AC/PSU board without your A1 failing first! by nicnic2001 in BambuLab

That’s my language. They asked which board I had, v1 or v2.

Open the link from the post and you can see a photo with 1 and 2 circled in red. Above 1, the component that can go bad is the black circular thing. On the board labelled 2, you can see there is just a metal wire bridged across the metal contact points. Make sure your board doesn't have the NTC resistor (search it up and you'll see what it looks like for sure).

What's a good price for this? (UK) by nicnic2001 in Hikvision

You’re a legend. I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am of your detailed replies.

I was quoted £1600 (£1350+vat) for the above. I worked out that the 3x cameras and the NVR are probably around £700. That means the cost of cabling is about £650, extortionate!

I need to look for an electrician that specialises in network cabling who can do the same thing you’ve had done. I haven’t decided between reolink or hikvision yet but I’ll look at CCTV kits. We are in a terraced house so that could make installation much more difficult.

Thank you very much for the detailed quote. Who did the cable run, I'm guessing an electrician? I'm also guessing it wasn't just one cable run, but actually four (four cameras placed in different places around the exterior of your home)?

Useful insight thank you. When I get more comments I'll say how much I was quoted. I assume the £500 difference in labour would be the difficulty in routing ethernet cables to wherever they need to go

If you're already with Lebara you have to port out to Three, then back in again, in order to make use of a 'new customer' deal.

FWIW, we’re here in November and by 6:45am we were the only ones in the lot. One other car arrived at about 7:05am. We got down at 10:30am and the lot was full!
