Re: Advise a non-mechanic - what to look for when buying a used car?

Thanks for the advice y'all.

I've ruled out the old banger Chery. The air con doesn't work. I can buy it as is for $1500, but the tyres will need replacing soon too. I've seen a Fiesta that is...

Re: Advise a non-mechanic - what to look for when buying a used car?

That's a great checklist, thanks :)

The Chery in question has 134,000km. The Skoda has 200,000km, but is a diesel, so do I understand correctly that this is fine for a diesel?

As I'm applying for more jobs now, I'm finding myself in that damn cycle - can't get a job without a car, can't get a car without a job... so I'm looking at some el-cheapo bangers just to get me...

After having some success with SmartDNS, it is now failing again. I have found their support to be a bit lacking too.

Re: Anyone tried Hello Fresh, etc?

Re: UK TV

ExpressVPN looks quite expensive - $100/year? (US$)?

SmartDNSproxy (which gives just smart dns or smartdns + vpn) is much more reasonable at US$39.9/year or US$49.90 for 2y.

I first played this game about a dozen years ago at a party. Really simple, fun, we all enjoyed it. It's called Molkky, originally from Finland I think.
