PCP Issue with Solicitors
Hi, We have had over the years quite a number of PCP agreements. My wife asked a company to look into one of them (Just one) a while back, whereas I filled in and sent MSE's letters to the others. The Solicitors have been hounding us for a response to them, and now they have lined up all our claims even though they were…

V2L adapter
Having seen the vague possibility of power cuts due to the US-Iran war, I became interested in the idea of buying a V2L adapter for our MG S5. That's 60kWh of power sitting on the drive, and we could easily run an extension lead to power a few essentials. So, a V2L adapter would be good as an insurance policy, but I don't…

The Ten Year Plan... How does this compare to others?
I think I have a plan and wanted to test it against the great minds on here, if you don't mind. We are due to re-mortgage in Nov 2026. Borrowing will be £240k, I'm hoping our new deal will allow us to repay £1500/month for the next ten years. Currently at 40% LTV. Also for the next ten years I'm also going to put…

Hastings Direct - Why so difficult?
Initially very happy with competitive quote. I get that their App policy very much is designed to be self serving but I believe there should be far more contact available during the policy set up. I've just spent best part of 6 days getting them to correct basic changes on the new proposal. I get some come from…

Garador springs - how to tension?
These are the tension type springs, not torsion. I retensioned my own a year ago, and it was terrifying - I couldn't pull it up by hand, so used a trolley jack and a stick to do this. I must be a wimp these days, as I know I did tension them by hand when I fitted the door 15 years ago - they had fabric straps on them that…

Missing plaster
I'm in the process of doing up this room and the bottom of the walls have crumbled and fallen off almost the whole way round the room, maybe around 30 - 40cm tall. Any suggestions for making good? I'm thinking it might be easier to just put new plasterboard over the top and lose an inch or two but there's plenty of space.

Kia App - EV v ICE mileage
Have recently purchased a Kia Sportage PHEV 2025 model. Anyone know if there is a way to compare mileage on EV only compared to ICE?

I can replace the whole section for about £6, but it's really only the seal that's looking a bit perished. The thin seal under the blue ringed…
