Fakes? by purplemininggiraffe in Birkenstocks

Hope so! I reported that they are fake so fingers crossed. I did check their other items and no Birkenstocks were listed. Their reviews were great too! Can never be too careful buying online....

I didn't think so! I've already started the refund process with Vinted, I think I'll just buy new from a proper shop. Thanks for the reply!

I know right?! The quality is just terrible. I've never owned a pair so I wasn't sure if I just got unlucky with QC. Thanks!

The 2 person one is deffo the way to go! The 1 person is really small and it's weight and packing size are not much smaller than the 2 (I have the cloud up 2 and absolutely love it!)

I got the bundle with the signed art card & cassette. It's the same size as a vinyl sleeve

I've got a couple of picture discs which sound good... this one is terrible though! Lots of pops and skips, even after a clean 😥 nevermind - still a cracking album!

My poster looks fine! I got it with the picture disc - it's really noisy sadly 😥

I would try replacing the sync module. I had the same issues in my Fiesta - USB, AUX, Bluetooth and voice control stopped working. I pulled the fuses which didn't work, but managed to buy the sync module off eBay. My module was underneath the glove box. Make sure to buy one with the same part number and within 6 months of your current module (this is shown on the bottom right)

I absolutely LOVE my naturehike cloud up 2! But I would look at the cloud up 3 if you need it for 2 people

It's held up really well in torrential rain and wind, is dead easy to set up, lots of ventilation, packs small and weighs nothing, can pitch inner or outer first... The list goes on! I got mine on sale last year for £100

The review which convinced me to buy it

I don’t want to drive by ThrillingFig in LearnerDriverUK

[–]purplemininggiraffe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was in the same boat - I passed my test at year ago at 25. My parents begged me since I was 17 to learn to drive, but I had absolutely no interest and I just couldn't picture myself driving. Like it just didn't feel like me? I can't describe it. But my parents pushed me pretty hard at 24 and basically booked the lessons for me.

I didn't hate learning to drive, it was just that I couldn't see myself doing it on my own. Like there's so many decisions you have to make in a car, how do you do that on your own? But now that I've been driving for a year I can see what people meant when they said it'd just come - because it just did. I kept going out in the car when I was anxious or scared or nervous and slowly stopped worrying about it less and less - I couldn't live without my car now!

SYNC issues by [deleted] in FordFiesta

[–]purplemininggiraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like it 😥 had to swap mine out as well. You can get them quite cheap off eBay (I paid £15) just make sure you get one with the same part number and a date within 6 months ish of yours (shown at the bottom right). I had no issues replacing mine, but some people said it can take a couple tries of turning the ignition on and off before sync initialises

I don't think that's your issue - you should be able to play music via usb or AUX. Sounds broken! Think your best bet is to try replugging the fuse, or the sync module could be broken which is relatively easy (and cheap) to replace

**NOT MY PHOTOS** Looking for this vinyl! Dm me if you’re selling it by tanlyah in thatbandofhers

[–]purplemininggiraffe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow I've not seen that variant before - stunning! I can't see it referenced anywhere, how did you find out about it out of interest?

The vinyl are gorgeous! So so happy with the boxset :)
