    MOT emissions fail.

    Our 2013 Kuga read 0.1 on last test, your DPF is probably at end of life (Ash loaded). At the end of the day the DPF is a service item. 3% Co is for petrol cars not on the list iirc, Diesels use Opacity value. No point moaning at the MOT tester, they're only doing their job and have DVSA...

    Tread depth - new tyres

    I was happy with handling wet and dry and snow/ ice etc, wear rate was OK. They're not cheap but you get what you pay for.

    Dogs (why would you do this?)

    Where I walk our dogs off lead I saw one of these a few times from a pup. It got more and more "playful" as it grew up, to a point where I wouldn't let our two Labs near it. Not seen it for a long time, I do wonder if it had a go at another dog?. To be fair the owner was on top of it all the...

    Dogs (why would you do this?)

    There's plenty that shouldn't be allowed to have children as well as dogs but that's a different thread altogether..

    Dogs (why would you do this?)

    We have two Labradors. The majority of these incidents are down to the owners not doing the right thing, to the point of stupidity mast of the time!. As for keeping dogs in kitchen/ garden while tradesmen are in, again that's just common sense and courtesy. Hard floors and a lot of hoovering...

    Does flooring need removal before lay LVT

    Just underlay and click laminate over the top is best bet. QuickStep is worth the money, very good quality and hard wearing. Had a look at the shed offerings before buying ours and they weren't very durable by the look of it..

    You've got a nasty kink in one of your flexible tap pipes?.

    Tread depth - new tyres

    My Continental Sport Contact 5 SUV's had 7mm on form brand new. As said, depends on construction of tyre, design of tread block, tread compound etc.

    Does flooring need removal before lay LVT

    Those look like Marley floor tiles and they do contain asbestos. They are stuck down with a tar like substance that also acts as a damp proof membrane. I left ours down and tiled / laminate floor over the top but if you are planning to bond vinyl the floor they maybe better off being taken up...

    That is one brave lady.

    Is that the lady that's gone "missing"?.

    boundary moved by neighbour?

    Sound's like she deserves everything she gets!. To be fair the design of the house and garage seems a bit ambiguous to start with, looks like her garage is over your boundary to me.

    Expectations vs reality - conflict?

    I am, no doubt about that!. We rarely if ever argue, always get stuck in with stuff and have put up with each other for 25 years so must be doing something right. Some of the conversations I hear at work I'm amazed some couples stay together at all.

    Concrete fence posts

    I get it now and again, normally the have broken something (that's why it's in for work) but still insist telling me how to do it properly. They don't get far. Either that or their "mate" says it'll only take 5 minutes. Why doesn't your mate do it then?, he hasn't got time is the mormal bs...

    Concrete fence posts

    It's quite amusing you're arguing the toss with someone who fits fence posts on a daily basis as part of his job. One of "those" customers, we all get them..

    Stainless strap strong enough for this?

    If the floor of the vehicle moves up, the stapping is then under more load as it has to pull the 60kg tank up rather than just supporting it.

    How To Tell Someone They Smell & Not Offend Them??

    To be honest they probably prefer spending time with their dog over some two faced xxxx.
