Probably shouldn't post as I think the last person to say they had this car got slated, but picked up on Saturday a new to me Maserati Ghibli and yes it's the diesel which isn't a 'proper' Maserati...

I'm with Octopus and have found them great, no issues at all and the switch was very smooth, just entering details on their site and them doing the rest including contacting your current supplier.

Has anyone got one of the McCulloch robotic mowers? Seem to be a reasonable amount cheaper than the Husqvarna ones. Looking at the R1000. Lawn is around 600m2 according to Google maps.

Hope you get a good outcome, I'm not looking forward to the possibility of this situation in a couple of years.

Thanks for the insider knowledge :) Hoping it will help save oil by only heating relevant rooms depending on time of day and offset some of the cost of itself and the new boiler.

Does it learn how...

Looking at getting the Honeywell EvoHome system with individual radiator stats along with a new boiler etc.

As I always seem to unknowingly buy things immediately before a new iteration comes...

Just be thankful you're not on oil - just had a couple of quotes for replacing ours... £5,000! It may be god knows how many years old and not very efficient but at £5k I think I'll have to live with...

I think you may have answered your own question, we had very similar problems only a couple of weeks ago along with the wifi struggling to reconnect after we came back into range.

Looking for any recommendations of stoves and stove fitters in the North West. We've moved to an old cottage that the previous owners had an open fire in even though we're in a smoke control area, so...

I was thinking just have an immersion heater for hot water, don't really tend to use that much anyway since we have an electric shower.

You're probably right though, if it sounds too good to be...

Does anyone have any knowledge or first hand experience of far infrared panel heaters?

Came across them by chance and got me wondering if they're any good?

We've recently moved into an old...

Try jewellers rouge, that's what they tend to use in the glazing industry for light scratches.

I tried the same for my XC60 and the dealer wouldn't even get close, he got quite rude in fact about me considering a broker. I saved about 5k and all I needed to do was take a little drive down to...

Thanks for the info so far guys, she's living over there for a year and is in the process of opening a CA bank account so needs to get funds from her UK account over to that.

OK so I know this is the worst possible time for needing to do this, but my sister is in Canada and needs to transfer around £5500 from her UK HSBC bank account into CAD$.

She's asked for my...
