Noticed Richer Sounds were selling the 65" C4 for £100 less than JL, so thought I'd take my chances and submit a price match. Pretty cheekily, but got to be done right? Just got an email confirmation that they're going to give me a £100 refund. I was half expecting them to refuse to be honest...

Customer service was s**t to be honest. It's taken 3 weeks for me to get a voucher so that I could order a replacement TV. So because we'd paid using the Finance option, JL said they'd only issue the voucher to the finance company and that I'd need to chase them up to get the voucher issued to...

John Lewis gives a standard 5-year warranty with all their TV's, which was the main reason I ordered from them. I've not read their terms and conditions fully, but it states: If we can't repair your product, we'll replace it with the same model, or a model with an equivalent specification, in...

Randomly didn't turn on one evening. Engineer reckons it need a new screen, as one of the boards he suspected was the issue can only be offered with the screen. I did Google to try and find some cost of replacement, as I was hoping a new TV would be the outcome, and I couldn't find much, but...

So my 65" LG C1 (2021) packed in about 3 weeks ago, and I've just been emailed by John Lewis to say that the TV can't be repaired. So they've offered me a £1299 voucher to use in store to replace the TV. What's the current go to TV in this price range? John Lewis have the 65" LG C4 (2024) on...

I've still not pulled the trigger to be honest. But I have now fitted some solid top mounts, and I've also been working through the front end bushes and ball joints to freshen everything up, and it feels better, along with getting rid of a knocking noise I was chasing. I'm 99% set on the...

I've fitted Powerflex arb bushes in the past, and know they're fine. But at £95 for a set versus less than £10 for the Febi ones above, I can't justify the extra cost. Plus, I'm sure the Febi one will likely outlast the time I keep the car. I suspect the ones on it are original and 22 years old now.

Update on this, I ended up ordering lower ball joints from ECP, as this was causing my front-end knocking noise. Part numbers above are correct. Link for ECP: https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/lemforder-ball-joint-617745225 Also, as I'm having new tyres fitted today, and the tracking was out...

I guess it's more costly to crash on track than it is on the road from a financial point of view? Do you also get charged for recovery if you break down on track? His V8 E36 is pretty cool too.

I scratched one of my side panels, trying to put the front bumper back on, on one of my previous 182's years ago. If I were doing it again alone, I'd probably just throw some masking tape on there to protect the side panels.

Annoyingly, these PS5 have been out of stock for a couple of weeks or more, and Camskill reckon they'll not be back in stock until the end of June. So I've ended up having to order something else. Went for some Kuhmo PS71's, based on reviews/tests I've found online. They're typically 1-2% worse...

I removed an RS2 inlet from a 182 a few years ago to go back to the standard inlets. I was selling the car, so it just made sense for the small account of work. Sold it for £1k, and already had all the bits to return it to standard. Anyway the car was mapped by rs tuning, made 185bhp, and...

I bought an E91 325d a couple years ago that had done very few miles over the previous 3-4 years, The previous owner had generally looked after it pretty well, and had owned the car for around 10 years, but just didn't need to use it very often towards the final years. That had similar issues...

I'm pretty sure mine is the same system, and it isn't droney at all. It is however, pretty loud, and definitely more raspy than typical. But it also has a sports cat rather than the standard cat. In the past on my 182's, I've found that changing from the standard cat to a sports cat makes a big...

Can I check I've got the correct part for my 172 cup before ordering with the more knowledgeable people on here? Firstly, I believe the ARB bushes should be 23mm and 25mm in diameter, but Autodoc lists them as 23.5mm inner and 24mm outer. Inner bush...

I've still not pulled the trigger on any of these, as I'm going back and forth. I think either way, I want to upgrade the top mounts to fixed. So, pricing becomes pretty much the same for the two options. Do you know what spring ratings you're using? Looking at spring rates for lowering...

Where are people ordering these from? The only place I've seen them available is Camskill, and loads of places around me refuse to fit tyres bought from elsewhere.

This for Road use or track, or both? I've seen some complaints about the Bilsteins being too soft on track, but also a thread or two about them also being too stiff. I know the setup and feel are subjective, so just gathering some opinions at this stage before committing. I've not seen too...

Looking to freshen up the suspension on my Cup, and with the cost of dampers these days I'm looking at potentially moving to Coilovers, so I'm reviewing options at the cheaper end of the spectrum (approx £750-£1k). Initially, I just figured I'd throw a set of Bilstein B14's on it, as the car...

Comes up as a CAT C on Autotrader, so I assume that's structurally damaged.

I think Jimmy Oakes is probably the only channel I've watched consistently for several years now. Recent videos haven't been the best, but generally the videos are pretty good. I'm surprised he's not got a higher sub count to be honest.

Thought about buying a cheap pixel 8 pro instead now. Then trading it in for the 10 when it's new. They've always done really good deals on trade in for the new releases. My wife got something stupid like £560 for her 2 year old pixel 7 pro.... And a free set of Google earbuds.

I very nearly upgraded my pixel 7 that I picked up this time last year for £300, to the new Pixel 9 pro XL the other week. With trade in it would have been £650, plus a free set of Google earbuds. But in reality the Pixel 7 is all the phone I need, I just fancied a bigger screen again. Pixel 8...

Came across this video this morning by Maxwell formally (it now seems) of Drive tribe. Might be worth a sub

I thought insurance prices had dropped recently. I was paying around £600+ for a E91 325d, and around £300 for my Z4 last year. Renewal for the Z4 this year was just over £200 in July, and my 130i was £220 last week. Both with Aviva, with max NCB. My wife's diesel CMax was around £350, which...

Sorry, but I've posted everything I had at the time in the post above. See post #40. Hopefully that info helps. I've no longer got the car, so don't have the paperwork either to double check to see if there was more information

I've had Deco Mesh for around 2 years now too, and I've not had any issues other than when my Virgin connection goes down. I get 500mb/s in every room in the house, whereas before with just the Virgin router, I'd be lucky to get double figures in my study.

After my Pixel 6 pro's USB port broke, I bought a temporary Pixel 7 last Christmas for £299, intending to get either a Pixel 9 pro or iPhone 16 pro max. I've never had an Apple product before so am a little reluctant to jump in still, but the LiDAR scanner would be really useful for my work. I...

I've sold a couple of cars in the last few months. and both times the guys travelled on train/coach for several hours to collect the cars. One a 2009 E92 325d manual. It was priced pretty averagely I think (lots of cheaper ones, and quite a few more expensive, most had been up for sale for...

I had a mk3 mr2 about 6 or 7 years ago. Paid £700 for it from an older guy as the gearbox was noisey. Replaced the gearbox with a £250 second-hand unit and it was mint after that. Was my first experience of dropping a gearbox and fitting a replacement. Not long after I had to do the box on my...
