Given our budget, it does indeed look like £400k plus to stay the same distance from London and Slough. Nearer London, no chance of a dg and loose a bedroom for the same money. No point going there.

Could get what we want out towards Newbury but that adds an hour to my journey home. And on a 12 hour shift, that's an important hour. 1/2 hour going in as well I expect.

Land to build a garage would be ok. Probably needs to be much more rural in that case though.

The odd property with outbuilding foes pop up. Trouble is the house usually looks like there bodies berried under the patio. $:-\$

Could it be, that the pad got stuck on the inner edge near the hub? So as it wears and the piston moves out, that particular pad is leaning over...? Maybe? Or the pad was not seated correctly. $:-\$

But yes first thing to check is that the calliper sliders move freely. But you would have checked that I'm sure.

Being near a motorway, and under the flight path to Heathrow, I wouldn't go looking to move close to a Railway line.

But yes that's the sort of thing.

4 beds though. Oh and detached. ...with on suite bathroom. In fact, make the garage on suite as well.

Think we're going to be staying put for a while.

Thera a few out past Tadley towards Newbury way. But that's a commutes passed the three worst junctions on the m4 this side if the m25.

Currently looking Crowthorne/Sandhurst way. A few but don't like the house that comes with it.

Hot to be well away from Flood plane too. $:-\$

I hear Reading's nice.

Hmmm Alton might be worth a look.

(That way I can pester that Wood fellow to fix stuff every 2 seconds

. )

Yep mine does it, but only when cold.

Replaced;
Belt. New one made it worse.
Idler pulley for new
Pas pump for a known good one
Alternator for a recon one
...all as for separate issues but no change.

Ac works fine. Re gassed. Clutch spins freely. No excess drag when ac on.

Water pump is still the original. But no play on the bearing and it spins smoothly.

So... Does that leave a week tensioner perhaps? $:-\$

Should also add, its far better searching local Estate agents(Spit) sites than using Right move directly.

Double garage was top of my list.

Managed to tick all the other boxes in the process too. An astroturf garden would have been nice, though.

Any man who comes under pressure to convert his garage to a guest bedroom needs to grow a pair and regain control of the household trousers. FFS!

BMW owners Kev. No need for a garage most of em. Oh rather SIGH.....

This is prompted by another house of the same layout selling for about 50k more than we has been told ours was worth.

We knew the valuation was wrong, but 50k....?

Built a deck at the bottom of the garden for exactly that reason, as the sun moves round the side of the house.

Just browsing the area on right move. What a pita finding a house with a usable Double garage! $:-\$

Alot have been converted into rooms or partly blocked off for storage space.

What would you look for in your next house/location...?

Some excellent footage of both events IMO.

Some of the pan through shots of the TT really make the speeds stand out.

Mugello onboard cameras also showed what a challenge that circuit is. However the tv completely failed to show us what 217 odd mph really looks like. One head on shot of the approach to turn one doesn't cover it. It just doesn't.

Rossi? Who cares. Crutchlow will have his seat at this rate.
