Welcome to OOF
Forgot to put my garden bin out last night.
Now I have to waste a few hours bagging the contents and taking it to the tip.
Despite having to pay council tax of over £1600 pa ( which to me only covers having the bins emptied) we now have to pay extra (cant remember how much - circa £75 pa) to have our garden waste bin emptied.
Ah....the joys of a petrol motor car. A fuel designed by God himself.
Get the beers in and have a cambelt party Tony!
No party, I’m getting old and only up for doing the one cambelt in a day! I’ll have a cheeky beer after, though
So glad to read that my 29.17p pkwh, plus 62.11p per day standing charge Octopus electricity tariff subsidises EV owners who enjoy a 7.5p pkwh tariff to charge their milk floats!
Roughly £56 a quarter even if you don't use much electricity.
Yes.....but....on the wife's grandland, if you press the key to lock it, you need to press the key to open it again. Keyless entry doesn't work until you lock the car that way again. I hope that is also the case on more expensive models. If not, why not?It is The LC colour, nearest I'll get to one at the prices they are now, It was purchased for a bit less than advertised, It's on a 63 plate, the only thing I think it wasn't speccd with is heated steering wheel,, Would have liked the full fat VXR but the Tax on them is Stupid, did look at one, it was red so that's a no instantly,.
Biggest issue I've found is Traders who can't be arsed, not tuning up, thinking that everyone is a bit dim,and you point out faults with the car that are looking you in face, obvious ones and they get very defensive, looked at one rear beam heavily corroded to excess, needed discs,, Wouldn't discount price, and said it's fine,,, Too
Took a while to find this one, but we have it all locked up.☺️
Try to get some pics up at weekend.
Sounds like a good buy, BG.
You won't miss the heated steering wheel if you grew up with ice on the inside of the windows like I did.
In order to get the heated wheel and keyless entry on my car I would have needed to find an extra £800+ for the comfort pack. Needless to say I didn't tick that box.
Does that provide comfort for the car thieves?
I hear that cars with keyless entry are easier to nick.
Do you keep your keys in a Faraday cage?......supposedly this will stop thieving scum from nicking your car without the need for keys.

I see the Drakeford replacement completes the set.
Inevitable really.
