What is the previous MOT history like? That list of advisories could be down an overzealous MOT tester - their attention to detail is questionable though - trailing arms on the front suspension?? It’s a 13 year old car so it’s going to be a bit scabby underneath, but if it’ll pass an MOT surely...

Openreach GEA connections are handed off to the ISP within the exchange as a L2 VLAN over a single mode fibre with OR call a Cablelink. Cablelinks are available in 1G and 10G and the ISP can (and usually will) oversubscribe them. The ISP is responsible for their own backhaul from the exchange...

Still not sold, reduced by £1125 since they first listed it. It’s still £1500 overpriced for me. It’s sat on Normanton airfield with 52PSI in one of the front tyres! They’ve put about £25 worth of diesel in it too.

I had a Powershift service on a Mondeo a couple of weeks ago - cost me £323 from an official Ford Service place (one of the small dealers Ford revoked the franchise from a few years ago when they rationalised the dealer network). Bill was about 50% parts and 50% labour. I tried a couple of...

I’ve just sold my 2017 E Class partly because I’ve had enough of the dealers and they have to many expensive faults to run one without a warranty for me. Round here they’re all Marshall and they treat all customers like their some sort of cash cow to be milked. If I’d acted on their recommended...

Sold my 2017 E220d Estate to Cazoo. It was a very high spec with a lot of desirable options, but they offered me £1000 more than a Mercedes’ dealer and £1500 more than WBAC. I dropped it off at their service centre which was a painless experience - cash was in my bank account within 10 seconds...

Are you absolutely certain you’ve got the IP addresses right on both ends? I’ve picked up a few escalations where this has been the problem. Have you got logging enabled on the Watchguard VPN policy? If not, you won’t see anything in the live traffic logs for allowed packets. Better to do a TCP...

I have experience of dealing with Story - I bought a new build on a site in Lancashire in 2015. Ours was not a great experience but I can’t say too much more than that in public. Drop me a message via Trust and I’ll happily provide a detailed response to you directly.

Look for Sipgate Basic. You can do PAYG or they do unlimited calls for £10 a month but their call rates are so low you’d have be making an awful lot of calls to justify the unlimited option. On the PAYG you can do automated top ups when your balance drops so it’s totally hassle free - my...

The FE CRC and FE ES counts both look high - these are indicative of data corruption between the modem and the DSLAM on the upstream (FE = far end). If it really has righted itself then the most likely cause is DLM has detected it and it has lowered the sync speed to increase the SNR margin -...

Request Tracker (RT) might be worth a look. We use it with Azure AD login.

I've installed thousands of Unifi AP's over the years and by and large they've been OK. Hardware failure rates are relatively high, their QA on firmware is absolutely non-existent and there is no meaningful vendor support. The last couple of years they've just been throwing firmware out the...

I'd be more concerned about RAID controller failure than ILO's on the HPE Gen 9's - I think pretty much every one we ever sold with a RAID controller ended up having it replaced due to reporting failed cache modules. The cache modules are not replaceable like earlier versions, so it's new RAID...

The primary reason for the historic lack of availability is it has taken time for big LLU providers to get the commercials and systems in place to handle FTTP provisioning. There has simply been no business case to launch these products when they were only available to a tiny fraction of...

I’ve got 2 Grotherm 1000 bars in the en suites, both are used daily and are about 3 years old now. They were fitted in a new build so I didn’t choose them as such, but they’re fine - decent flow from an unvented cylinder and the thermostatic function responds quickly without significantly...

I don’t understand why you didn’t just stop on the bridge. Even if the bridge opened with a vehicle on, so what? Wait until it closes again. It sounds like the bridge operated correctly in any event - it detected a vehicle and didn’t open. You panicked and decided to try and throw your...

Yes - just attach the bottom of the Y splitter to the existing cold feed and run two hoses from it. The machine will heat the water. As to whether it’s worth having a hot feed, depends on your hot water source really. It’s cheaper to heat water with mains gas than electricity usually, and the...

I had the standard Audio 20 system in my C Class and have the Burmester system in my E Class - both 2017 cars. I had no complaints with the audio in the C Class once I'd added a little bass and brought the fader forward a couple of notches. The Burmester system does sound a bit better...

My Dad joined in 1981 IIRC, he has picture with his service dates on hanging in his hallway that the Chief Constable presented to him on his retirement. I've heard plenty of tales and was even occasionally used for surveillance cover when I was young! One of the more amusing ones was he...

I replaced the 19" Goodyear Eagle F1 AS3 runflat tyres on my 2017 E220d Estate last week with Eagle F1 AS5 normal tyres last week. It was definitely the right thing to do - the ride is massively improved and is the perfect balance now. I had a 2019 E220d SE Estate as a loaner for a couple of...
