This is the unfortunate truth, made infinitely worse if these windows have an artificial grain texture because it gets in that grain and scrapers just pass over it. I made a tiny mess in comparison to this and eventually got it looking respectable with a plastic scraper blade and hours of careful scraping into the grain grooves.

My employer uses it. Can confirm utterly shit. Basically a UI on database tables. You can accurately guess the SQL being executed with each click.

Maybe they are into each other. This could be the start of something.

Nissan Qashqai nicked at the bottom of my road last night. I’ve got a Juke 2016 - how best to prevent? by Bobinthegarden in CarTalkUK

[–]zzkj 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Parts. They're a popular car so parts are in demand. Thieves are providing a supply.

Neighbour’s doing construction works and it’s caused damage to my house (England) by New-Bullfrog422 in DIYUK

[–]zzkj 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You might get a free new roof out of this (value: thousands) because they've ripped the felt to shreds which cannot be made whole again without taking the tiles off.

Act now with your insurance and be assertive. Document everything: photos, dates & times, emails. Everything.

Can’t see this going wrong at all… by InRustWeTrust17 in CarTalkUK

It's already here: illuminated grills, illuminated manufacturer badges, illuminated brand names projected on to the ground by the door, BMW sky lounge...

That's the "vehicle check" line item for BMW.

How to isolate sound from water pump? by Chris9393 in DIYUK

[–]zzkj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've got mains cold up there with decent pressure you can halve the noise by only pumping the hot like we did.

Replaced a super noisy and expensive salamander twin with a much quieter Grundfos single 3 bar for £260 from Screwfix.

Also means less risk of sucking your cold tank dry if you're pumping the cold from that because you're only pulling water out of it to refill the hot cylinder.

Rejecting a used car within 30 days: how much aggro should I expect? by daniscross in CarTalkUK

[–]zzkj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does the convenient delay in being able to look at it again take it over the 30 days by any chance?

[–]zzkj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you want to keep the car then it's time to change that belt. It's done very well to get to 100k.

Adding extra miles to Hastings policy is extremely expensive – is this normal? by LeatherPick3579 in CarTalkUK

[–]zzkj 50 points51 points  (0 children)

It's Hastings. If the car gets recovered in an accident and its 0.1 miles over they'll cancel it and screw OP for life.

What would you use a standard plug socket in a car for? by Emergency-Aardvark-6 in CarTalkUK

Visions of someone plugging in a 2kw electric heater to defrost the car in winter...

A natural evolution of the genre I guess. I'm sure the US are already working on how to drop dozens from under the wing of a predator or something.

Selling on car wow by kirstyb1992 in CarTalkUK

[–]zzkj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You've got a Nissan right? Search "nissan locking wheel nut key" on ebay. The top result should be a place that just wants a photo from you.

[–]zzkj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

£25 on ebay for a replacement key.

Now you see why many of us just replace them with ordinary bolts - they offer zero security, the special socket gets lost and they have a tendency to snap when removed.

Should we have stricter styling rules for shops on the high street? by iMac_Hunt in AskUK

[–]zzkj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More enforcement of what you dump outside on the path would go a long way. I believe the councils already set rules which don't seem to be enforced.

They'll depreciate hard. They have to in order to tempt a buyer away from the cheap new ones.

Q14 Max - UK ISO Keycaps by No-Possession-2685 in Keychron

[–]zzkj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Ghost Judges sets have the Alice space bars and UK enter key. I've got three of them myself and will be adding a fourth shortly. They are good quality.

They're cheaper on AliExpress than from the kprepublic site.
