If you've got a concrete base make sure you don't put it straight onto it, use some plastic timber planks or similar so the shed never sits directly in water

Oh yeah forgot to say mine is from Tigersheds, mines 6 years old now and still like new, all I've done is paint it twice. The only thing that's not good on mine is the plastic windows have gone yellow and foggy but the rest of it is really good quality.

I'd say for a run of the mill garden shed for normal tool and lawn mower storage just get a standard shiplap shed, don't need pressure treated or really thick wood. Most important is the base, i really like the plastic grid stuff that clips together and you fill with gravel, that way it's never...

Yeah if it was my personal lease then i'd totally just do it myself and say nout. As long as you don't make a totally ham fisted attempt and changing it the guy doing the assessment and collection will never know.

It really depends on the lease company, some can be very reasonable and charge fairly modest amounts for damage but some will charge a lot and be really fussy so it's a right lottery. Best bet is to get it sorted before handing it back to avoid the stress and hassle.

You really won't get any more efficiency from a remap, you can't change physics, the engine will still have the same thermal efficiency and mechanical losses its always had. It'll probably be marginally less thermally efficient afterwards as the boost will have been turned up in the remap so...

if you have a decat there is 0 change it'll have passed an emissions test. if he had to rev it it could be the cat is dirty as they work best when they're hot but quite likely it might have a smaller 100 or 200cell 'racing' cat installed if its modded? those things need to be almost glowing...

Fairly common on some electric cars to have a bad 12v battery, early ones especially seemed poor at keeping them topped up as i guess they're designed for use with an alternator and it's not quite as easy keeping them charged from the high voltage pack. It was quite common for the early Tesla...

Just an FYI 18V, 20V and 21V batteries are probably all nominally exactly the same they just pick a differnet part of the charge cycle to measure it. For example the Ryobi 18v batteries are over 20v fully charged, the likes of Lidl ones etc just choose to use the fully chaged number as the...

I'd probably fill up that section where the tiny shed is currently, it's not like you're spoiling the unblemished natural beauty view or anything. I personally don't think an 8x6 shed is big enough to work in if you're storing anything as well, that's the size of my garden shed and it's fine...

I think it depends what you define as urban environment, a highstreet with lots of crossings and people everywhere, busses etc then sure. But how about a long wide well sighted road with no crossings, minimal junctions and no pedestrians? That's a huge amount of the 20 zones in rural Wales now...

I've heard bad stories about having it done, our old house was concrete type tiles and had moss and some of the neighbours had it cleaned off and some stuff painted over it. Most that had it done had some story about leaks afterwards with the roof being disturbed so factor some remedial work...

It's always been a lot cheaper for us to be on a meter, i'm not sure what kind of bills people get on meters to be scared off? We're 2 adults and 1 child so lots of showers and baths and washing machine and dishwasher on daily etc also don't shy away from filling up paddling pools in the summer...

yeah it's a good idea to paint the top hat bit of the disc, it'll keep looking smart for ages that way, it's ok to get some overspray on the contact surface of the disc as that'll rub off really quickly when you use the brakes. I'd try and not get any on the mating surface to the hub or to the...

Unless the other tyre on the same axle is really worn or it's got a fancy AWD system i'd just replace the one

They were really good on my old Yaris without aircon, could have the window open a bit in the rain without getting wet. I'd only get decent ones like Heko though as the fit is decent with them and it's good quality plastic.

If its going on grass/soil I'd personally use the plastic mesh stuff you fill with gravel, put some nice thick weed membrane down and sorted. But if its going onto a concrete base then yeah using plastic wood is a great idea, the last thing you want is your shed to be sitting straight onto a...

Totally open ended question but i'd say around 12-14k nowadays? (i'd have said about 8k pre pandemic...) That'd get you into something less than 5 years old with lowish miles, as long as you pick something sensible with proven reliability say a Toyota corolla or something i'd bet that'd be...

2002 Toyota Yaris 1.4 diesel, went all over in it and did almost 70 to the gallon for the 50k+ miles i had it, it was more fun that it had any right to be to hoon around and you could drive it flat out most of the time as it only had 74bhp but weighing like 925kg it was a right hoot. DC5 and...

Just checked and mines an IHD6, the battery that was in it is pretty tiny only 200mah. without the battery installed mine shows that the battery is full and is charging in the top right, but if i unplug it needs to set itself up from scratch which takes a couple of minutes.
