Looking to buy about 8 metres of Twin and Earth 1.5mm Electrical Cable 6242Y. Do you have a part reel left over from a job? Willing to pay.

Please do not junk your old kitchen. I may be able to use some of the old units in my DIY workshop and certainly will you give something for the right size units.

Can someone suggest where I can get an A3 sized color photocopy done?

The Teslas seemingly will be armour plated versions of a model yet to be announced. Estimated cost is $400m!

Totally agree just as China will do now that we paying Mauritius to take Chagos off our hands.

I wouldn't go within 1000 miles of Musk. He is weird beyond imagination, manipulative and egotistical - just to mention 3 . His latest decision is to direct that new Teslas should be sent to every US embassy around the world to replace all other cars.

UK overseas aid money has been funding gender lectures in Kenya, poetry workshops in Colombian jails and shrimp research in Bangladesh. This could suggest that it time we had something similar to Musk's Dept of Govt Efficiency - without the Musk crackpot?

Bear in mind that most vehicle collisions result in front end damage and even minor collisions will destroy that sensor. Hence there is a thriving market for these (on Ebay ) going for circa £78 to those repair shops or private repairers who want to find a cheap replacement. Blame the manufacturers for sky-high parts pricing and the perps in our society who want to thieve rather than work for a living.

Thanks , will check it out. Marvellous heads up!!! I did a quick recce on foot and it was exactly as required. Went to and picked up the van and loaded up with all the good bits. Much obliged.

Looking for a few Left hand drawer sliders /runners from an IKEA RATIONELL kitchen. Rationell runners and drawers are now totally obsolete and are not interchangeable with later designs. I have some RH runners but am short of Left hand runners. The Rationell range goes back 10 to 20 years so hopefully a few are coming up as people replace their old kitchens. So rather than junk them, please give me a shout.

Can we get Trump to arrange a ceasefire here?

Looking for a kitchen drawer unit with 3 or 4 drawers. Can be any width from 50mm, upwards

Avoid a private purchase on Autotrader or wherever UNLESS you know the tricks and scams of the used car market and are a competent vehicle scrutiniser. Believe me, the "private" seller market is a jungle for the unwary and inexperienced. There's lots of devious practices for the unaware and uninitiated. Trust me, I've been in the new/used vehicle market for 30 years. If you really want to buy private, the n tell the seller you will buy it subject to a thorough inspection by an AA or RAC engineer. If they don't agree then walk away, fast. As for auctions, that's even worse - especially with Copart where you never get to inspect the car "in the flesh". You have to work off their photos and descriptions which are rarely accurate. BCA and Mannheim auctions are the big auction houses and are better . It's where the used-car trade buy a lot of their stock. The trade buyers will spot a private buyer a mile off and will bid you up and dump you with an over-priced lemon so that you don't come back. Ex-Motability cars have a history of regular services and are well sought after. Consequently, they command a good price. CarGiant and some other outlets have a good percentage of ex-Mobility stock. Plus they check each car and so you have assurance. PS. I checked your link and could not find any ex-Motability cars there. There's quite a few high performance units such as Porsche Panamera and Jaguar I Pace.

Yes, Uber to CarGiant is easy and you can drive your "new" car back within 1 hour having paid by debit card and provided you have sorted out insurance prior.

To get the best price whether new or used car, a buyer is well advised to study the tactics to be used to counter the tactics used by the car seller. It's not just a matter of what to look for in terms of conducting a mechanical/visual inspection but also a matter of how to negotiate on price and extras. You may well be experienced and confident in these circumstances however many are not so I would highly recommend doing some preparation in advance. There are many Youtube videos that are most helpful in this regard. A quick search on you tube for, say, "How to buy a used car", "how to check over a used car" and "negotiate a car purchase" will provide many worthwhile tips. Also check out reviews on honestJohn.co.uk and better still, check for common problems with a particular model on user forums. Here's just a few to avoid:- Range Rover with 2 litre Ingenium engine( 2.2 is OK) Citroen C4 Cactus with 1.2 Puretech engine Ford Eco-Boost engine ( between 2013 -2017) Mini with petrol engine Kia 1.6 Mhev engine Anything with a wet timing belt Golf Mk5 with CCTA engine Honda Jazz can be prone to rust There's more that could be mentioned but these stick in my mind. If need any help just send me a PM Based on your requirement to load a mobility scooter, I'd suggest something like a Vauxhall Zafira 1.6. VW Turan.

Car ramps or axle stands would be the first priority

Not exactly the best time of year to be laying turf. Give it a few weeks unless you \want to go artificial.

Trolley jack and axle stands needed for some DIY maintenance on my car.

I'd recommend CarGiant - big selection. Bought 3 cars from them for family members. The first I still have after 22 years.

As a vehicle vehicle design engineer, I would suggest going further towards the trolley bus arrangement with a pantograph connecting to overhead wires on bus lanes, such as on straights running up to and including traffic lights, so allowing more time to recharge whilst in transit. This would be preferrable to charging from structures that have to be activated by the driver.

Nah, the lines are applied hot and cool down quickly so the trucker didnt have to wait more than 5 minutes. The good news is that the owner drove the car away around 5pm without a ticket.

Last week the started painting new double yellow lines along the EDG near the junction with DV. They could not finish the job as a car was parked there. It was there Monday thro' Friday. The contractors came back today with a hoist truck and lifted the car onto the back of the truck and I fully expected to see the truck drive off and take the car to the pound. .But no, the truck parked up further along and then the yellow lines were duly painted. With that job done the truck driver off-loaded the car exactly where it was previously. Isn't that gratifying Very gratifying. It's been there now for 3 hours and hasn't had a ticket.

To do it properly ie to get reasonable value you should be aware that there is a huge amount or work involved - photos write up, not to mention packaging etc etc. If you have lots of clothes and you are short of time then why not become community spirited and give them to a charity shop?
