    If I get a flat tire in UK what’s my options?

    What’s the average wait time and cost of each event though? I’m on 6 punctures so far this year, so I imagine by now that I’d have exceeded my call-out quota for the year, spent about £1200 on tyres, and waited around at the roadside for around a day in total. I think Id rather suffer the lost...

    If I get a flat tire in UK what’s my options?

    I don’t know if I’m just unlucky, or if this car is particularly prone to picking up spiky debris from the road, but since my tyres now have more plugs than Wayne Rooneys fringe I thought I’d offer summary of pointers based on my experience. So, heres some observations based on experiences of...

    Octopus Energy referral code please

    Well I never knew that.

    Octopus Energy referral code please

    Last place I’d have looked. Might be obvious to more regular users here but it’s probably fair to say the more regular users are already on Octopus. Clueless numpties like me are instead drawn like moths to a flame to the admittedly rather confusingly titled “Octopus Energy Referral Code”...

    6 codes inside of of 3 minutes. Don’t you people have jobs!?

    Octopus Energy referral code please

    I’d like an octopus referral code please! Conscious of the fact that I’ll probably get a dozen responses from within about 15 seconds of asking for this from the usual gang who have reflexes like a cross between a Ninja, and my dog when there’s a snack around and he thinks no one is looking...

    If you could only buy 3 extra items for your M3 what would they be and why??

    1/ Jack 2/ Wheelbrace 3/ Spare wheel. Had three punctures in 15000 miles, so now have exactly this kit in my boot.

    Am I being dumb? Wheels and speedometer

    Just google tyre size calculator, there are dozens of them. (or indeed, “tire” size calculator. - many of them are American and do odd things with spelling)

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Check your lease details. I too suffered the inertia of RA’s and Managemeent companies in leasehold property. It was so painful that in the end I had myself elected to the board of directors so I could shake it up from the inside. From that position navigating the red tape was far simpler, and...

    Wiki UK and Ireland Supercharger Site News

    Unless you don’t have access to charging at home though, it’s less of an issue than closing down Superchargers further afield. The ones at Canary Wharf and Royal Victoria are closest to me too, but I haven’t used them since I got my own charger. If they were to shut down the ones at Oxford it...

    I often walk my dog past the Crystal. Had no idea it was the first one... It’s always been busy there, but then we do have 4 bays just down the road at Canary Wharf, a couple more bays at Tower Hill 4 miles away, and when it finally re-opens from being a COVID test centre the 02 has 12 bays too...

    TPMS sensors?

    Fitting isn’t the issue. My local tyre centre is so old school they’ve only just got the hang of wheels that don’t have wooden spikes. Even so, they’re more than capable of installing a sensor before mating a tyre to a wheel, what they may struggle with is having the right sensor in stock at the...

    TPMS sensors?

    Anyone know of anywhere I can get a single spare TPMS sensor for my Model 3? I made the mistake of trying Amazon, and was confronted with a million ads for sensors with exceedingly dubious brand names which hinted that perhaps the key factors of reliability, accuracy, and longevity might not be...

    UK For Sale / Wanted / Free [closed for new items]

    Does anyone have an in-wheel tyre pressure monitor module going spare? I’ve got a spare TM3P wheel and a new PS4S to go on it, but need something to fill the valve hole. I could have a standard valve filled, but having bought the right wheel and the right tyre, I may as well do the job properly.
