    Spec me a CCTV System

    Further to my above post, what are the views on Reolink cameras? I have one sitting at home which I never put up - an RLC-411WS. From looking at their webstore, they've increased their offering significantly.

    New laptop, much slower internet

    Hi folks, Very odd one here - I have just set up a new laptop (Dell Precision with i5, 16GB ram etc so not poor spec) and have noticed the internet is painfully slow. I have run a speed test on my old laptop and this one 1 after the other: Old laptop: Ping: 101mbps Download speed: 210mbps...

    Approved Used BMW - haggling potential?

    Thanks for the replies. I gather if something has been sitting there for a while they're possibly more likely to haggle? @Fox - what sort of % would be realistic?

    Approved Used BMW - haggling potential?

    Hey folks, Thinking of picking up a 68-plate BMW 530e M Sport. There appear to be about 50 identical spec cars (varying in colour) from £27,500 to £30,000 with sub 5k miles. Does anybody know if there would be any scope for haggling on the cheaper of these cars? Is pricing done centrally or...

    Road Tripping in the USA!

    I wasn't able to complete the booking but that was a good thing as after lots of digging I found it 20% cheaper with rentcars.com with Alamo :D

    Road Tripping in the USA!

    Hi folks, Has anyone booked their car with Virgin Holidays? I'm keen on them as they are the cheapest and use Alamo which appear to allow you to pick your car from the class when there. They seem to demand a UK address (which I have access to) but I have an Irish licence. I don't see anything...

    tweedbean's Garage Makeover

    Following this with interest as just about to move into a place with a similar sized garage (2.8 x 6m) My main concern will be ensuring that there is tons of light, there is only a small light at the moment. I think I will fit fluorescent lamps at the edges of the ceiling so that the light is...

    Laminate underlay on concrete

    Yeah I used fibreboard last time and agree that it was fine but was interested to see general opinions as to whether or not it's worth going for again, especially on concrete :)

    Laminate underlay on concrete

    Hi folks, We're shortly moving into another new-build and will be completely flooring the downstairs in laminate, including kitchen, dining, living and hallway (toilet is pre-tiled). Last time, I used the 5mm fibre wood underlay from B&Q on the recommendations from this forum - is this still a...

    Water Softener

    Bit of a bump here... We are moving into a new-build soon and want to fit a water softener as fed up of hard water in our current place. I want to fit an under-sink water filter & dedicated tap for drinking water and fit a water softener system to serve the whole house. I'm pretty sold on the...

    Insurance

    Is it truly mullered? Might be worth talking to a paintless dent removal guy to see what they can do. Then claim for rear window under glass cover on insurance.

    2001 Honda Insight Mk1 - The OG hybrid now joined by a CRZ

    The insights are really really cool cars. After having it for 8 1/2 years/150k miles, could you share ownership costs?

    Thinking of an e60/e61 - what engine?

    Absolutely. That said, after driving turbo cars for the last 3 years, I had forgotten how satisfying N/A power delivery is. Budget wasn't an issue, I test drove a number of cars multiples of what I paid for the E60 but it was the best all-round package for me that was on offer. I was previously...

    Thinking of an e60/e61 - what engine?

    So I ignored all of the doomsday advice on here and bought a 2007 N53 530i with a manual box \o/ I drove a really nice example of an IS250 and was left massively underwhelmed so decided E9x or E6x it was to be. It's a 1 owner car, and comes with stacks of history. It's a pretty weird spec but...
