Nah can't be arsed. It's 2h from here and I've got to go to Ikea again tomorrow
Plus I'm supposed to be clearing out not accumulating more stuff at the moment.
It is worth £150-200 on ebay though... hmm
Yep, I thought was the case, but I don't know yet what the final damage to my wallet is going to be yet for yesterdays escapade and to think that I was just yesterday thinking that I was doing well with the battery being 5 years old and it never fails to start at the first attempt without all the churning over that my neighbours cars seem to go through
Hope its not too much. It isn't one of those horrid stop start ones is it? Those are pricey. Purposely avoided getting one of them.
As for your neighbours' cars, same here. Bloody awful noises. Most of those noises were me until I got rid of the Fiat though
Figured by the time you fish out £16 for fuel, £10 for dinner, £30 in capacitors and 4 hours round trip, screw it!
If only that was generally available to the public at attractive rates of course
EDIT:
OMG have we opened up yet another detour from the core topic
It is pretty cheap. Costs me £8 a day. I use it perhaps 3 days a week as you can power it off and pay nothing while it's not running. Use it about 35 weeks a year. £840/year. That's for a 16 core Intel Xeon Platinum 8000 machine with 64Gb of RAM, 10Gb ethernet right into amazon's backbone and 3.5GBPS persistent storage (I use 512 gig volume).
Main thing is no up front cost! To buy the same workstation would cost me at least £8k up front plus the electricity bill.
WTF! I managed to completely miss this reply, hmmm must have been dozing, do that a lot these apparently
Yes it is a stop start car, but that shouldn't make any difference to my charging failure should it? As I see it it's a simple failure of the drive belt tensioner which allowed the drive belt to slip (never heard any squealing though like I hear from other cars) and this affected the alternator and the AC as well. Why did you avoid getting one of them, they can save a lot of fuel and also of course reduce your carbon footprint. If you don't like it, it should have an override switch in the car, mine does and it might affect your resale value when you come to part with it.
So what is this Amazon AWS thing then, is it not internet connected to your home computer via fibre or what? On my Virgin broadband I only pay for the upto 200mbs service but regularly getting 230+ from on download, just wish the upload was a tad faster at times. Thing is though as mnem said, after a while you get used to it and even the slightest delay becomes an annoyance
