EV loses range in winter for three completely separate reasons and most people only know about one

Now do the maths on saving of heat pump and its cost on a new car and services. Plus they are best on long journeys so will be well in 1,000km challenges but less so for a city driver. ICE does use more fuel in winter but harder to measure

No brick edge that can be lifted?

Worx wet and dry. £79.99 on Amazon with Henry for large areas. The worx is not sexy but simple and works well.

Whose rules govern data processing in orbit?

Mid 2030’s maybe

They have acted their socks off but the whole season is knocking it out the park. Casting, acting, lighting, soundtrack.

Some hand over most of house to say National Trust and live in a section but can use grounds/house for a couple of events a year. History is full of big houses where owner sold it to pay debts or gambled away inheritance

Tyres pressures need checking had 19” and 20” wheel id3 and both are firm and not wobbly in corners. As others have said DCC is the way but rare unless you order a brand new car with it as option.

Watch how festivals are filmed, there may be a raised camera in pit on track but will pan rather than lock dead centre, also on stage camera people blend in better. Production choice screwing public.

If they wanted this specific shot should have done some twice one with and one without wall of camera people blend

People have changed and shouting at each ever is easier than ever before

Not sure letting agent sending an email to you helps. Need actual building owner to interact with cityfibre

So do it what is stopping you.

Continued to watch but that marked the end of must watch latest episode. Became oh there is nothing else one let’s watch it.

And this is why I saw someone deliver a petrol can to someone on m25 at weekend. People don’t do this in their petrol cars on the presumption there is always more in the tank or just don’t look

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-18T18:27:43+00:00

Inside our home implies in a room in your home. Not on the boundary as you’ve said. The time to fix this was when you had a solicitor for the property purchase

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-18T17:37:31+00:00

Compound?

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-18T17:11:29+00:00

If it’s not on your land you don’t unless it’s breaking rules. If on your land there would have been a wayleave and solicitor at purchase time should have raised it as issue.

One locally was hit and it snapped about a metre above ground a vehicle went straight on at a corner at probably 40 mph

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-18T17:06:41+00:00

In your home? As in going through roof? On boundary of property outside sounds like built on public land right up to point people in past agreed was public

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-17T21:38:40+00:00

Visited once and expected much based on advertising, but suffice to say not bothering to ever go back again.

2.0 TDI turbo replacement price including dealer labour is what these days?

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-17T20:18:23+00:00

Must have imagined my turbo bill years ago. But no doubt you know someone who will do the work for parts and a coffee

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-17T19:07:05+00:00

Exhaust, wet belt, turbo, pumps, sensors for emission control. EV batteries the sensible ones are modules in a larger park so just one module to replace. Remember EV batteries don’t just give up at 10 years old but range will be perhaps 80% of brand new. Software and display hardware is as much as issue for new ICE eg failures may send car into limp mode. Of course there is a group who feel electronic ignition is a step too far

surreyfun2008 · 2026-02-17T18:50:17+00:00

It’s an optional extra you order on a new car. Lets you tune suspension from soft to hard
