Impressive, 300,000 km and six MOT tests passed in a row! It shows how long a well-maintained car can last.

Quote from: Clock'd 0Ne on September 18, 2018, 07:13:36 AMI always find its worth paying a bit more for a specialist, they know the cars inside out, have more knowledgable staff and better diagnostic machines, and that usually means they know the best suppliers and workarounds for issues. I spent £1500 at a garage getting my car in a better state when I bought it and it still has issues, I should have gone straight to a specialist like I normally do, but the convenience of the garage being around the corner won me over.

Trying to find a specialist in the South right now for my BMW 735, there's surprisingly few about though.

I agree, a BMW specialist may cost more upfront, but their expertise can often help avoid unnecessary repairs and identify problems more accurately.

I was thinking about just turning off new registrations completely, but haven't done so on the off chance an old boy turns up that can't access their old account (however unlikely that is to happen)

I've had Wi-Fi connection issues that seemed to happen for no apparent reason, so disabling automatic connections to saved networks sounds like a good place to start. It's also worth checking the network adapter driver, as it can sometimes cause this kind of problem. When travelling, eSIM connections can help you avoid relying on public Wi-Fi, although it's important to compare coverage and data plans for your destination. Have you tried deleting old saved networks to see if that fixes the issue?

We went to 3 different places, 1st one was by far the best, 2nd one didn't really give a sh*t, 3rd one was pretty crap, was more of "here's 3, pick one"

1st place pretty much said pick any ring, any stones, any design you want and we'll make it... lab grown £1500, real £10,000   :-o

Just be mindful they can and do grow diamonds in labs for retail, so the whole discussion of "fake" Goes a step further nowadays.
