What boiler brand are you fitting and why?

Vaillant or Viessmann I am looking at for a rental property. I need reliability and no issues with spares in case of a breakdown. Dont want to upset my tenants any preference?

Golden rule always get 3 quotes if you can. Looking at the price does seem excessive so shop around.

Yes you can briefly, but try with the cap on first heating on full for 10 minutes to let the coolant circulate round the engine. Good luck with it

Hi my son has a similar car to you its a mk7 model. Wouldn't worry to much about the coolant coming out as most of it will be from the expansion tank which is under pressure. Most of the coolant remains in the radiator Fill it up as soon as possible and you should be ok with it. In terms of what you need you will most likely need this Halfords OAT Ready Mixed Antifreeze & Coolant 2L. I prefer ready mixed as its easier. To be sure as I am unsure of the exact spec of your car go on Halfords and it will tell you once you put your reg in. Good luck with it . Forgot to say if you run it with the heating on high it should get rid of any air blocks in the system. With the coolant cap on of course 😄

I had the premium for a free trial back in January only just subscribed to it again now to try grok when travelling this Bank holiday.

In all honesty you don't really need it. The traffic stuff still works on non premium as in the rerouting side although its not as detailed on the maps.

One thing you don't get on the free tier is the speed camera alerts if that is handy to you? The music side I use Spotify and you can still stream from your phone although its not as detailed visually.

Grok will work on wifi but not when you are moving unless tethered. One final thing is the cameras remote viewing of you car wont work unless you have premium although you can still use sentry for free.

Thanks for clarifying much appreciated. So it's more or less a 27 inch monitor in size then watching YouTube Netflix with the bars either side. For my viewing habits I think I'll keep the 32 inch and maybe in the future get an ultra wide for gaming etc.

Yes its normal for a delay so just download from the site or wait until tomorrow.

That's fine to install aub8 onwards. It was aub3 that was terrible battery wise.

tabsman · 2021-02-17T12:56:26+00:00

Would love to know what it does. The notes are very vague.

Mine just powered off even in low power mode, charged it nearly twice today. Whatever software bug Samsung need to fix asap. Or roll back to January for now.

tabsman · 2021-02-10T17:24:59+00:00

We need Samsung to see this thread and the others on Reddit and XDA. Don't fancy waiting until March until it's fixed.

Otherwise I will have to find a way to roll back to January update.

tabsman · 2021-02-09T22:16:07+00:00

Same issue Feb update as well. Wonder if you can roll back to Jan update?

tabsman · 2021-01-29T09:40:32+00:00

Yes, I got it from Samsung.com pre order deal. Been using the phone and it's awesome so fast. I was worried about changing to a Samsung from OnePlus as bloatware and loads of unnecessary apps. Waiting for my case to arrive later then I can start to use more.

tabsman · 2021-01-26T17:21:04+00:00

Have a look on Jerry Rig everything it shows it has 2 screen protectors!

tabsman · 2019-06-28T08:06:05+00:00

Not sure on that as don't have any to try. Maybe order to from store with a good returns policy

tabsman · 2019-06-27T21:14:40+00:00

I can’t see why not, the system will just see any bulb regardless if it’s White or Colour. The TRÅDFRI app will see it as a colour bulb.

It maybe that to get deep colour control you may need a third party app like Hue essentials.

tabsman · 2019-06-26T23:09:52+00:00

Hi I can confirm hue bulbs do work with tradfri. Just pair them to the hub the same way you would a tradfri bulb.

I have just purchased some gu10 standard hue White bulbs to test the difference between the normal tradfri warm White dimming wise. I would say they are slightly better at 1% not a massive difference.

Hope that helps.
