    Replacing a single tyre

    Thanks all, the tyre is totally trashed sadly. I think i'll check the tread depth on the opposite tyre and if it's anywhere near low then I'll go for the pair. Otherwise it sounds like I can maybe get away with it.

    Replacing a single tyre

    Hello, I got a flat rear on a Ford Focus, it's a Continental 205/60/R16. The other rear tyre seems in decent condition, is it safe enough for me to just replace the flat these days? I assume it's recommended to get the exact same manufacture/spec - but I remember previously being told you need...

    Home Insurance for a few months

    Hi, I'm going to be moving into rented accommodation in the next few months, but need to renew current buildings/contents insurance shortly. Normally I just do this as standard 12 month policy with one annual payment. What's the cheapest way to do this if you know you need to cancel within 2-3...

    House Removal Costs

    Hi, Does anyone have any recent experience with removal company costs (in the south)? In a few months I'll likely need to move from a 3-bed house to about 100 miles away. This is a fairly full house, furniture + garden furniture etc so I imagine it's a full size huge removal lorry job + the...

    VMware Fusion Tech Preview 2023 is now live

    Really hope so - looks like only 3 days left on the TP license - I guess VMs will just die then... Probably a bad time to buy 13 Pro as well if a new one is out imminently that needs an upgraded license anyway :(

    VMware Fusion Tech Preview 2023 is now live

    Is the tech preview fully free or trial bounded? I got a popup for buying a fusion 13 pro key today? But I think that version is older than the 2023 tech preview right?

    Homepod + Individual Apple Music Sub

    Hey, If I get an individual apple music subscription and put that on our homepod - can my wife use that (via homepod siri) when I'm out the house? Or are we forced to get the family £16.99 version of it? Thanks!

    *** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

    What should be expected ping times between wireless clients these days? I'm trying to diagnose slow transfers between clients, as an example with 2 clients on 5ghz 11a/c - ping times are 60-100ms - that's too high right? Both clients next to each other and next to the AP. I have two APs and...

    Cazoo - What to check in first week?

    Hi, What should you do during the initial 7-day 'easy' return period? I was obviously planning to max the 200 mile test drive allowance to check it drives ok and doens't die etc Any advice on other things to check or be careful with? They say it was serviced in June which I guess I need to...

    Do you turn off your outside tap or taps in winter ?

    Thanks a lot, I do have 10 of the felt/tile vents fitted, and this is the first time I’ve noticed a problem, it just seems there’s been very little breeze over recent weeks and I guess I have some hot air rising from lower floors somehow which can do nothing but condense when it’s that cold up...

    Peugeot 308 Thoughts

    Hey, I'm Looking to upgrade from a 2010 fiesta, does a 308 1.2 (2021) for about £13k at 25,000 miles sound reasonable? I know nothing about cars, just after super reliable to last a good 5+ years, about 8k miles a year with £10-13k budget. Thanks for any advice!

    Heat Loss vs Optimum Central Heating Hours?

    Hey, I've not used the heating much this year but 15 degrees was a bit painful today so I fired it up.... This is in a 1970s house with two zone heating, but seemingly rubbish insulation. See the graph below, but 1.5 hours of heating took it from a baseline of 15 to 17.8 degrees (stat set at...

    Ford Fiesta Zetec - When to upgrade?

    Hey, How long should I reasonably expect a Ford Fiesta Zetec 2010 disel to live for? It's only at 73k miles, but I think age is now starting to show. Last couple of years have been 1-2k repairs each, with fuel injectors dieing and cam belt change etc... So I've easily spent more than the value...
