The piece of timber that I can see in the centre of my red shape drawn on your photo, underneath the lead flashing, will get wet when it rains. That will eventually cause it to rot. The water will also run onto whatever lies below that timber. I can see a shadow between the two pieces of lead...

The biggest problem that I can see is here: Tile broken with half of it missing, poor leadwork, visible timber under the lead flashing. The dry verge isn't great at that location either. Most of your light in the loft seems to be coming from ventilated eaves which is expected.

You might find a white funnel intended for the job in the glovebox or with the spare wheel/jack. A funnel would have been supplied with the vehicle when it was new.

Perfect.:rolleyes: It's white which will look lovely against the brickwork and black pipe and it's for interior use only so it should hold until the next time it rains.

They are being used outside. :giggle: On a serious note they are fitted to the wheels the wrong way round. They need to be refitted to the wheels so that the "outside" marks are on the outside surface. The other two may be ok. Only asymmetric tread patterns have the "Outside" marks.

He did that in 2023. I expect the OP has managed to change the battery by now or has purchased a replacement programmer.

They are intended to fill up (some of) the cavity so they shouldn't stick out.

Most petrol stations have covers over their forecourts so that you don't have to stand in the rain whilst filling up. Most public EV charging stations have no covers so you get wet whilst plugging in.

Yes, which is not too helpful as it make me look like a bigger nutter than I actually am. :rolleyes:

I expect that some time in the more than 22 years since the OP had this problem they will have found a solution or changed their vehicle.

Do you want all 4 tyres to wear out at the same time or would you rather spread the cost by having the fronts wear out at a different time to the backs? Do you do enough miles to wear back tyres out before they start cracking and need to be replaced anyway?

If there is more than one person in your home then the light on the IHD can provide a quick indication that one of the occupants who doesn't pay the electricity bill has left an appliance on unnecessarily.

BT have told me that I don't need to plug my phone in "somewhere else", it will continue to be plugged into the BT master socket. BT haven't proposed to give me "free VoIP-only broadband". They have said that the copper line will continue to come into the house and I will continue to use my...

My smart meter still does the same thing. My cheap rate is from 00:30 to 07:30 in the winter and 01:30 to 08:30 in the summer.

I personally would have ditched BT completely and relied on my mobile phone. The BT service is hideously expensive and I only need a small excuse to ditch it. The only reason that I keep a landline is that my mother's Dementia does not allow her to reliably remember to call my mobile rather than...
