    Is buying a new BEV worth it ?

    We are only a 1 car household and just changed to a megane e tech. One I wanted it and it's a new toy Two I can charge for free at work and certainly beats spending £250 a month in petrol. So to me it makes financial sense in the long run as I was changing over from a 2010 VW Scirocco that...

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    30kwh is impressive, what size system is that on. Ideally I'm thinking if I had a system that produces 2kwh average (so working on a 4kwh system accounting for losses/not south facing) I'd end up with 1kwh to use and 1 to store so probably would need 10kwh or more of storage to get me through a...

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    I'd say it's pretty spread out through the day/night The Fiance has a couple of snakes so heat bulbs and UV ect run most of the day probably drawing 400w plus the general household stuff probably gets my average hourly draw at 600w an hour Then the rest can probably be attributed to higher...

    Solar panels and battery - any real world reccomendations?

    I've been looking over this thread for a few days and doing research on all solar/battery systems but generally confused on what is my best option to go with so I thought I'd consult the collective knowledge Currently I have high utility bills which are likely to be even higher as of next...

    Decorating living room with a few problems, ideas?

    Ha I've been there, one patch of blown plaster and the more I picked at it the bigger the patch got. In the end I just called it quits and called the experts, I've learn when to swallow my pride and empty my wallet haha

    Decorating living room with a few problems, ideas?

    The idea of claiming you're a bit of a perfectionist and then saying you will try to skim yourself to save money just doesn't match Plastering is one of those that you only get perfect with practice so I'd be very surprised if a novice would even reach the level of perfection that your aiming...

    Fencing costs?

    Might be a bit far for them as they're Birmingham based but I had fencing from https://www.sheldonfencing.uk/ I had a very reasonable quote off them a few years ago for 11 bays around £1000 fitted but ended up going the DIY route Had 11 bays of 4 foot feather edge and concrete posts/gravel...

    I'd say the vibration motor is worse than the pixel 4xl Just lacks power

    Google Pixel 5

    Yup that's where my setting is. I'm with Three so it seems to be network dependent Either way I'm not 14 hours off charger with 2 hours SOT and only down to 72% so huge improvement

    Google Pixel 5

    Touch wood I seem to have sorted my battery drain issues. I changed the preferred network from 5g to 4g and now ive gone from roughly 5% an hour to 1% an hour as of today Hopefully it holds up but wanted to report back incase anyone else had these issues

    Google Pixel 5

    I'd be happy if I could sort this battery drain issue out. I'm currently at a loss on what's going on https://ibb.co/HCHYgCK There's something using battery on this thing but no idea what. Almost tempted to send it back at this point

    Google Pixel 5

    No I've seen that info online As I said literally had a fresh install with only Gapps installed I would put it down to signal. But I have this issue at work and at home (I live in Birmingham too so not the sticks) Also all previous phones had no issue :/

    Google Pixel 5

    I have actually tried this once and didn't even restore any apps other than what comes pre loaded. If I stick it in airplane mode and have WiFi/Bluetooth only its way better. 3 hours off charge this morning and 1 hour SOT and down to 93% I would normally assume poor signal but I'm getting...

    I feel like I'm the only person who gets bad battery life on this phone Down to 20% with 3 hours screen on time today. When I use it battery lasts ages but I'm getting awful standby drain

    Tumble dryer - heat pump or condenser?

    I thought this would be an issue when I got one But I've found our 8kg Samsung heat pump can actually dry a load before the next wash has completed

    Replacing all radiators in bungalow

    I changed all the radiators in my house Job is pretty easy in itself but I only put new pipework from the existing mains loop as I upgraded it from 8mm to 15mm. I used compression fittings rather than soldering but there are now plastic push fit alternatives that are commonplace I just...

    Condensing Tumble Dryer and Washing Machine

    I got a Samsung heat pump last year and live it. Drying times are actually quite reasonable and the lower heat doesnt shrink clothes

    Also if they are taking the chimney out and you own the house connected to this they should have served a Party Wall Agreement prior to doing this
