You need to ask the technical (travelling) sales engineer of the day. Strong competition between those with a Company Cortina and those who favoured the Cavalier. The Ital never came into it. My choice was the Cortina and I was averaging 50,000 miles a year then across southern England. Fun...

I’ve experienced this many times after service. Although they generally protect the seat I’ve always assumed it was a case of dirty overalls, and more likely big industrial boots.

That wavy effect is what I had when I left them in the car on a hot day.

Previous reply just beat me to the post, but here goes - I’ve probably worn glasses continually for close on 50 years now. I constantly clean them because my eyesight is sensitive to dirty lenses. I tend to buy quality frames, so prescription lenses and frames currently set me back in excess of...

Actually it was much the same with us, they all said we had full fibre. I knew we didn’t and the last stretch from the road to our house was underground and non ducted. Our existing contract was at an end so we signed up with EE. That presented them with a few problems when they came out, and it...

Yes but it might be more expensive per month because you will be out of contract. I don’t know about N Ireland but have you tried putting your Post Code into competitor sites i.e. E.E, Sky, Talk Talk. There have been some good deals going recently and companies are falling over themselves to...

Thanks. That was the kind of advice I was looking for. I’m afraid that we are now of an age that misspent £’s don’t get replaced so we tread carefully. I did read your reply earlier but we were due out, and while out placed our order with John Lewis. JL is a favourite with us, it’s local and...

Thanks @MikeInWimbledon & @MeQ for the replies. Sorry didn’t mean to suggest problems. Just the usual family indecision over a purchase at significant cost. Presumably you pay for Sky Ultra. When you dig into Sky advice it specifically mentions Samsung and that you might have flicker with...

Sorry to resurrect an old thread. Anyone got any experience of using the following tv with Sky Q? Any advice appreciated. Samsung QE50QN90C (2023) Neo QLED HDR 4K Ultra HD Smart TV, 50 inch with TVPlus & Dolby Atmos,

I suppose the first question is would he want digital (as in Apple) or mechanical as mention here. Most young people (younger than me) around here seem to have Apple type watches linked to their sporting activities.

There are a couple of threads associated with full fibre telephone but if our own experience and this article ( link) are examples the woes will grow. BT digital landline chaos as customers are cut off when internet fails We agreed to full fibre. We have non ducted underground cables so they...

Interesting. If yours is 1967 and ours is 1970 ish then presumably our gas pipe is metal, but it’s not ducted. None of the services are. Years ago we were notified of a water leak in the garden and the water authority dug a good four and half feet before giving up and replacing the entire pipe...

They have installed several new poles locally and I wanted to avoid another one outside our property. We agreed on full fibre from EE about three weeks ago, nobody in the EE shop was interested when I said our cables were underground. @ALFAitalia doesnt live that far us but he is lucky his...

Hi. Yes mines a 2016 W205 C250d which I’ve had from new and have been delighted with. Two recent problems though. Wind noise from the front nearside area which I and a local garage cannot get to the bottom of, and this year paint on the roof panel between pano roof and windscreen began to flake...

Sorry I can’t help with your particular problem but as said by others I frequently check the drains around the wiper shafts which block easily. There was a thing on tv recently where they were using compressed air to blow through drains of that type. As an aside we have a lot of wind noise from...
