£220 for service and MOT, bargain. and a third of what it cost me on Harley motorbike, which is why i now do most servicing myself. for my car i have a little local garage and probably about the same costs. and like you i have a little fund so if it costs me £500 a year to keep car going i am pretty happy with that. (16 yr old Mondeo) and like you starting to rust so need to wire brush that next summer. stay safe, stay warm, winter is upon us.

I don’t understand why people get so hung up parking on the road. If your motor is legal, you have got every right to park where you want, outside of yellow lines and resident permit bays. People seem to think they own the land immediately outside their house as well! Not the case!

Can I pick your brain, bought a bluetti 1000w generator, but apparently it has a 700w inverter. How the hell do these companies define wattage?! One last thing, can you please tell people to wait for the glow plug light to go out in diesels!!! Keep on trucking mate!!
@adidasmanuk2 жыл бұрын
The 1000w will be the capacity of the battery the inverter will probably run a bit over 700 as they normally have a surge double feature.but keep a eye on heat running both near capacity:) Also try not to run it lower than 20% or charge higher than 80% # longerlife :)
