    You'd think in 15 years they would have reached parity

    Oi, you, get back to work!

    Their not though are they, if the oldies are coming out of retirement. unemployment figures for 16-24 year olds are higher than any other age range and has been increasing, in a time when there are much spoke about skills shortages, it should really be dropping, so it does point to a degree of...

    is 1Litre big enough for Octavia?

    I didn't find much wrong with the harshness of the engine, this one seems quite smooth, maybe because it's just been rebuilt. I agree with your other points, on his car the dash is telling you to change up to 4th when doing 30. Having looked seems like the cactus has a Kerb weight of 1 tonne...

    Who's going to watch the King's speech ?

    Having Googled apparently the late queen wrote her own speeches with help from Philip, Though there is no mention about whether Charles did his own today.

    Cruise Control Issues

    It wouldn't though would it, because even if it did the fail safe is that as soon as the brake is touched the cruise switches off, regardless as to whether you were using the speed up button. Also if you use the accelerator to over ride the cruise control after a period of time (In my car it's...

    Oi, you, get back to work!

    Youth of today don't want to work, quite happy living off their parents , all want to be YouTube stars and all want to be paid minimum 50k a year because they feel they deserve a superstar lifestyle like the idiots they follow on social media. Of course they don't want to work for the money...

    Who's going to watch the King's speech ?

    I saw the speech, personally thought it was good, nothing extraordinary but much better than I was expecting, and not to dissimilar to what I imagine old Queenie would have said. I did wonder whether Charles writes his own speeches or a speech writer does it for him

    is 1Litre big enough for Octavia?

    There is a saying no replacement for displacement. There is still a requirement for engine capacity. Off boost these small capacity engines are laboured by the weight of these larger cars. These engines only create enough torque on boost. Generally speaking these small engines "can" create...

    Cruise Control Issues

    Cruise control doesn't stop the brakes from working, even if the accelerator was stuck 2/3rds open the hand brake and hydraulic brakes would have slowed the car. There was no attempt by the driver to brake or lift off the accelerator prior to the airbags going off. Amazingly 1.5 seconds before...

    100,000 mile diesel Focus won't crank (sometimes).

    Starter motor intermittent fault, is most likely at fault here. Though my brother had a focus that would randomly cut out when on long journeys. Turned out the keyless entry was playing up so they replaced the modules and recorded and all was ok

    Who's going to watch the King's speech ?

    In my house since I was a kid Christmas day dinner would always be set on the table for the queen's speech. We'd watch the queen's speech then tuck in. Since moving out I have continued this tradition and will continue to do so now it's the king. I do like tradition though that doesn't mean...

    is 1Litre big enough for Octavia?

    Steer clear of diesel, they are getting increasingly costly to run and repairs are verging on the rediculous these days. The 1 litre is too small for a car such as the Octavia, by the time it's loaded up (I'm not sure if you cart family and holiday luggage about etc) , it will then struggle...

    Is boiler underspec?

    No they weren't intended for any other market than Netherlands as they have a specific requirements that all boilers operate with opentherm, I know many people was importing them and some had warranty refused by vaillant (or at least vaillant tried refusing)as they don't officially recognise the...

    Is boiler underspec?

    If all the rads are at 65c then it would seem the boiler is not "under powered" as it is keeping the flow temps required of it. As for the reason the house won't get warmer than 19 degrees I'm unsure Is it the house won't go warmer than 19 or the nest won't call for heat above 19?

    Is boiler underspec?

    On the Bosch boilers you have to use the Bosch proprietary controls to use this feature. I'm not aware of any opentherm adaptors for the Bosch boilers like there are with vaillant

    Is boiler underspec?

    Yeah they dont need replacing the boiler just needs to be set correctly. If you wished for the heating to be a low temp heating system then you would replace the rads, but I just wanted a new boiler. Unfortunately sounds like it's been done by monkeys who can sling a boiler on a wall but don't...

    Is boiler underspec?

    Agreed the heat link should be located where it is likely to get a good strong WiFi signal. Also sounds like there is something wrong with the settings with the nest. Maybe switching to the hive may be better for them if they are more used to it, as long as they don't charge you for the...
