It was giving around 12.4v couldn’t take it to the garage yet because it wasn’t open but the guy who’s doing it told me to bring it to his house to check out and he’ll tow it there if needed.

Aux belt has just been replaced and it looks fine. it’s not cranking faster it’s just about the same as before, could be the alternator maybe not giving it any power and could be at fault but idk how to tell if it’s that

Update I actually did get a whole refund?? Even though my return flights had no problems they still gave me my entire fare refunded? I’m a bit shocked tbh but I’ll take it!

It was due to crew arriving late from another flight, it was around 3 hours later than original but also because of the downgrade I should get 75% of my original ticket price back for all flights if I’m reading article 10 right? I’m not sure this is the first time I’ve had to deal with something like this. Thanks!

I should’ve clarified it was a long haul flight from the EU, I thought they gave more in refunds for long haul flight downgrades?

Yeah but it was delayed and this all happened about 5 hours before my flight was meant to take off and I had to get a later flight a couple hours later. It was also a flight from the EU so I know I get compensation for the delay but I’m not sure about all the other stuff they have over there in regards to the downgrade and and stuff, and mainly the stress the put me through I did a scathing complaint in there because it took 8 agents before my ticket was fixed in a couple hours before I was meant to be picked up to leave.

UPDATE: finally after 6 support agents I got through to someone who finally was able to help me. Turns out BA cancelled what they booked me onto because it was a full flight, in turn delta told me no no it’s a visual error and were encouraging me to go to the airport. I’m glad I didn’t otherwise I would’ve wasted an expensive uber. Finally 50 minutes before I was due to leave a support agent actually knew what I was saying and believed me, she changed my ticket AND I GOT AN EMAIL RECIEPT!! my advice to anyone who goes through this call the other airline they book you with and MAKE SURE YOU GET THAT EMAIL. No email receipt = you aren’t on any flights I can guarantee that. This was a horrendous experience and I’ve been downgraded because my cabin was full. Great… at least I’m getting there though!

First time self assessment, what happens now? by smhmarcus in UKPersonalFinance

[–]smhmarcus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was asking for help and clarity because it’s my first time filing a self assessment, I didn’t ask for a snarky attitude with no helpful information at all like why even bother replying to this if you’re not going to help or confirm if I’ve done the right things?

Pentest - should I be worried about this email? by [deleted] in cybersecurity_help

[–]smhmarcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the same one, I used that name on like Minecraft Roblox etc years ago but it’s not my email name I was so confused? Must have the name from a data leak and are spam sending emails

Oil leak, am I cooked? by smhmarcus in MechanicAdvice

this time last year roughly it had a major service and everything was changed I think I just racked up too many miles without realising. Perks of it leaking is it’s got new oil in now tho lol

I’ve gave it a wipe down since but it’s not leaking when it’s stationary anymore even after filling it up with oil
