nice, not too bad then :)

I’m mainly looking for skysports & TNTSports but at £20 each it seems, works out about £60 or more a month… bit pricey..

ah nice, does your package include sky sports & tnt sports out of interest? Interesting the price is without broadband, i recall they were discounting the broadband if you got the tv too a while back but may of changed.

I cannot have a dish so would need to get sky stream.

Thanks

Been looking again at this recently, seems Sky getting a lot more costly? £81 it seems from sky website I priced up per month – ouch…  I was considering the sky stream with possibly ultimate package and then with sky sports and tntsports, soon gets bit expensive… Even if I wait and switch my broadband to Sky, it still isn’t much of a saving… Any one know of cheaper options or of any deals going? If I need to include my broadband, I need to wait till end of the year as my current contract runs out then. Advantage of sky stream is no dish needed plus I believe it may include skygo so I can still watch stuff when away from home, which I can’t do with the stream box, it can only be used  at the registered address, bit annoying as small to transport.

Thanks

Thanks, does it plug into cigarette lighter in card or is a cordless one and you need to charge it before can use it? Also, does it do PSI as in comments on that one, it said you have to convert it for UK use?

Hi all,

Quick update, got a email this evening saying they have received my cancellation refund request.  They have now refunded effectively the difference… decided going to wait till I get the funds through in my bank and then I’ll email to say I never cancelled it but thanks for the refund.

Will try pop into a store in future and purchase it rather than online as seems a few issue there for some reason. Can only assuming stock levels not accurate as it was a good hour after I ordered it and all payment went through etc.

Not a new car, existing car lol Would love to change it but just can’t do it at the moment and I got the final payment due on this on very soon so going to have to pay it off and then see how things go, love to change it be realistically need to prob keep it another year or 2 before it may then be worth changing but not really got the funds to change it.  Been looking at used cars, prices are not too bad but with the interest rates, you looking at 5 or 6k your pay in interest alone which then pumps the cost of the car up so not really viable. With the way work is at the moment, we never know what’s going on so once I paid this off at least it is one less monthly outlay so I can try save that money towards a replacement, only concern is I suspect I’ll only be able to save enough for a deposit on something newer, it wont be a reasonable sum to put in to the pay the rest of it off or to buy outright.

And all is not going to plan….. Placed my order online at Halfords, all went through, no issues, said ready to collect in approx. 1 hour from when I ordered and they keep it for 7 days so was going to collect tomorrow.

Short while ago, got a email saying Refund Receipt for £7.50+VAT total £9….., upon checking order status page, it shows order cancelled…. no explanation via email or on website, nothing.  Been on there website chat, they are raising it to dedicated team and will get call within 48hrs. They too are unable to tell me why it was cancelled.  I’m guessing they don’t have it in stock and I presume the refund is a manual process and they have entered the wrong amount…

I’ve asked them to email me as preference rather than a call as I’ll be busy to tomorrow and may miss the call, they have made a note so will see what happens.  Hopefully they will just email, apologies and refund the remaining amount not like I have a query regarding a item I’ve collected and its faulty etc so should be straight forward when they look it up.

Good job I didn’t go down to collect it as suspect nothing would of been there to collect.

Thinking about it, I presume you would also need to check if they are active members? or visited the forum or posted within x period of time? as you might have someone join, post with regards to a topic a few times then disappear but still be registered and 5 years later they would then be senior members but not used the forum since, for example?

Sound like a good idea to me, wonder what others think?

Yeah, I can’t really complain too much at my old tyre inflator, admittedly not been used too much but has worked fine when needed until recently but it does have long periods just sitting around collecting dust lol. I believe my one is this one: Michelin Rapid 12262 Tyre Inflator – on Amazon it says unavailable but it says in details on page first available 2008, not sure if that’s first available on amazon in 2008 or if that’s when this inflator was available in general but as said, that’s over 15 years ago, assuming I bought it in 2008, which is a possibility as I just don’t recall when I got it.

Yes, my car tells me the above readings (even have the app which connects to the car and tells me).  I have a manual pressure check also and the tyre inflator tells me the pressure when I connect the hose, i then press the + button to increase the display to the pressure I want and turn it on and it inflates to the set pressure and then cuts off.  I believe the one above I mentioned does the same but is obviously newer so considering a purchase which I’ll still get a *small* amount of cash back :)

Thanks
