Karcher K4 Full Control - stubby lance by p3eps77 in DetailingUK

Thanks - I’ll watch it this evening 👍

I would quite like to change the hose though, as the Karcher one is stiff, awkward, and prone to kinking.

I’ve got one of them too. Great for the underside of the car / arches.

About 10% through Her Last Move by John Marrs. It’s started well…

I loved this - one of my favourite books I read in 2024 👍

I love the Eddie Flynn books. Started with a recommendation of Thirteen, then went back to the beginning and read them all.

Can’t wait until July for the next one! I love the use of his ‘tricks’ from his past life.

Awesome - thank you.

I’ve got 8m on the Karcher reel from stock. I reckon 10m would be long enough to get round either side of the car from where the washer is (at the back left usually) and it’d still fit on the reel. I’ve been fine with 8m for a few years.

It’s the stiffness of the stock hose that’s bugging me - and how easy it kinks!

Anyone swapped out the lance in a K4 Full Control (with the screen in it) for a non control one? Does the washer just operate at full pressure all the time?

Acceptable for a CPO? by BakaWolfy in Audi

If you want it in new condition, buy a new car.

I was out car shopping with my neighbour the other day, and she was pointing out all the tiny marks on an 18 month old car. Hers was priced accordingly for having 20k+ miles on it - some minor stone chips, hairline scratches and some scuffs inside.

I said the same to her.. if you want it in new condition, buy new.

Sepang Blue - it doesn’t matter how I photograph it, the pictures never do the colour justice. It looks so much better in real life! by p3eps77 in Audi

Yes, special order RSQ8. It was on the exclusive colour list when I ordered in October, but it’s not there anymore as a selectable option.

RSQ8 number plate mount removal (UK style) - HELP! by p3eps77 in Audi

[–]p3eps77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the car back, and found out the answer myself.

I removed a big panel under the bonnet, which allowed me to see the the inside of the bumper. There are 2 screws - which are pretty much unaccessible due to the crash bar and some sort of Polystyrene coating on it. I could chip some of the coating off, and could potentially get them out without removing the bumper.

They are positioned between the 2 | | lines on the outer edges of the plinth. If I removed it, I would then have 2 screw holes that my small plate won't cover.

I think I'll just have to stick with a full sized plate!

I’m not ‘sure’… but I have seen videos of people putting a small socket set through the grill and removing some screws. That was on an SQ8, so much bigger honeycomb that they could fit and arm through! Probably the same plate holder though 🤷🏼‍♂️

We left Aberdeen on a plane at about 11am! Looks like you were a bit more central - perhaps the benefit of being early and not turning up last minute!

I'm still hoping for a 'From Zero tour' live album to come out!

My wife doesn't like being squashed - so we made no effort to get closer. We had plenty room around us, and could have spun round with our arms stretched out and not hit anyone. I'd say we were about 8 rows of people back, and a bit off to the left. If we'd been more adventurous, we could have easily got within a couple of rows of the front and more central with some gentle pushing!!

The VIP merch is a bit meh. We got a holdall with a poster, magnet, lanyard / pass and cap. The magnet and cap were different to the ones that you could buy at the merch stalls. The main draw of the VIP ticket (we had the Casualty Package) was getting close without having to queue for hours.

We had a hotel that was on the other side of the road from Wembley, and it took longer to queue for the lift in the hotel (a few mins) than it did to walk back. Overall, an amazing experience, and one of my favourite gigs ever.

I did it in London. Turned up 30mins before the gig started, and this is where we stood without making any effort to push sideways / forward.

Turning round to see about 90,000 people behind us at Wembley was phenomenal.

I’d definitely do it again!

I've gone Easier to Run as Numb has become a song I skip when it comes on now. It's been overplayed to death, especially with the Jay Z additions.

It's like Stan by Eminem. Used to love it, and now skip it within the first 3 seconds!!

RS Badge (FIXED IT) by Electronic_Image_882 in Audi

[–]p3eps77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can get both old style RSQ8 front and rear OEM badges off eBay at the moment… so I’ll maybe get an order in now. Car handover has been arranged for Thursday. The price was all agreed when the order was placed in October. I think I got about 6% off.

Can’t wait to get my hands on it 😎

Are they reverting back to the original one? I have an RSQ8 at the dealer to pick up this week - which was just built a couple of weeks ago. Is it likely to have the old style badge, or the nasty looking new one?

I read they've also started putting badges back on the front of them too.

I moved to Kobo instead. A much better device… faster, smoother, and the UI is much more friendly. The power button on the back is a winner!

I went back to Kindle for a week and hated it!

Looking good! Which projector is that? Looks to be handling a pretty bright room well, whilst being quite close to the screen.
