OnePlus 6T from Oct 2018, has been perfect up until the last couple of days when the WiFi/4G radios started turning themselves off randomly. Looks like time for an upgrade. :(

That's the route we went down. Some very generous bursaries available for kids that perform well in the entrance exams.

Borrowed money off a relative and paid our mortgage off when the fix ended at the start of the month. Repaying them at 2% for the next couple of years, mortgage rate rise dodged, phew!

Was originally a positive thing, after all who wouldn't want to be aware of social justice issues? More recently it has become shorthand for activists who have a toxic, entirely monochrome view of issues.

Currently 21, lowest I've been in the last decade is 20 and highest 22 (during lockdown).

Our Doctor uses eConsult. Filled in the form yesterday, phoned me today with an appointment for Wednesday next week.

Guardian, BBC, CNN and of course Mail Online for the essential "Z list celeb commands attention in racy blah blah blah" stories.

68 plate Suzuki Jimny SZ5 Auto with 25000 miles, WBAC quoting £21,160. I paid £21,072 for it in Jan 2019.

Should be left as-is, if someone can afford a car less than 3 years old, they can afford to get it tested. Tests should remain annual and they should remove the 40 year exemption and make classic cars undertake a cutdown roadworthiness test. Would like to see MOTs move towards the model that...

In answer to op, I'll likely hold out as long as possible. Might get a small EV (Zoe sized) for wife's short daily commute, but I keep hearing too many horror stories from owners about broken/busy chargers to make me feel happy about going EV only for the household.

I'm a picky bugger. Don't like: Any battleroyale type games Call of duty Driving games (other than Carmageddon back in the day) Witcher 3 Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA, pretty much anything by Rockstar Fallout 76 Anything anime-ish or Japanese dark souls, Elden ring guff Anything with...

Lease prices have definitely gone up - started PCH on a Fiesta ST Line X a month ago at £212/month. Was paying £50/month less on a similar book value Astra before that.

@DDS - messaged you.

In what fantasy land is a turbo considered a 'minor consumable'? "Minor service: oil change, top up the coolant.....oh and swap out the turbo while you're at it" :cry:

I talk to my car and apologise when I've been neglecting it. :Shrug:

Depends on where the car is, but assuming it's not the hard shoulder of a motorway, then yes I'd change it myself. Which reminds me that I need to buy a spare for my wife's new car.

She's not a good comedian. Add Sooz Kempner to the terminally unfunny list as well.

I know big SUVs are naff and unnecessary and inefficient, but blimey that Range Rover is impressive. If you want one vehicle that can do it all, that's your machine. I just wish LR could deliver the reliability to go with it.

I'm not anti-EV in any way, but there's a pretty big difference in the ease of tackling fires in ICE and EV vehicles. ICE fires due to faulty wiring or a fuel leak can typically be put out quickly by the driver with a cheap extinguisher. If smoke starts pouring out from under my bonnet I can...

Surely not a surprise to anyone? It had to happen at some point. The zero tax was an incentive to encourage adoption, but now with legislation in place to enforce adoption and manufacturers replacing their entire range with EVs, that incentive is no longer required. It wouldn't be sustainable...
