Suspension setup done for £40 and a recommendation of softer springs as I'm a lightweight in more ways than one, £330 for that one if I decide to do it. Car serviced and a rinsing of £325 from BMW.
Save yourself the £330 and spend it on beer in no time at all you will have a beer belly to be proud of and you will have simultaneously fixed your lightweight issue. It worked for me
Any pics of the posh shed? Been thinking about a shed so I can say to her that's yours put anything you like in it but the garages stays strictly mine. Although I would want the wheel Barrow in her shed as that's such a crappy shape to store. She can put her bicycle, outdoor cushions and all that crap in it. Just not sure if a nice one is worth the investment over a cheap one
5 week wait for it to be built. This is where we ordered from. https://www.summergardenbuildings.co.uk/products/log-cabins/log-cabin-11305016.html
That would be too posh as she wouldn't want to use it for storage. I would be hit for a whole load of summer furniture that she would decorate it with and then never use but it would have to look nice anyway.
There's plenty of others on there. We're going for major shed and garage clearout and a little a storage thing. That's what I'm told anyway.
Specifically bike related I’ve not spent much at all as everything was pretty much in order ready for spring. However, I’ve not been particularly lucky so far with what I have purchased on line: Muck-Off Helmet & Visor cleaner £8 as recommended on here. Off Amazon 3rd May and neither the original or it’s replacement have arrived as yet. Same day ordered a 10 pack of micro fibre cloths £9 again from amazon and still no sign. Replacements to be posted if not arrived this week retailer says. Plastic syringes - 2 lots ordered from amazon first 4th May and then eBay 15th May, neither of which have turned up as yet. M8 black plastic domed nut covers (13mm across flats) as posted by another member, but they must have changed to a none standard size for the subframe by 2015 as they are 14mm. If anyone wants these four give me a shout - they were only a couple of quid but better to gift on than just lying around or getting binned. LED headlamp bulbs £17 only to find they’re not compatible with the twin headlight conversion. So gifted those to @mk3golfcab Oxford CO2 puncture repair kit £27 - very nice. All packed up in its case and now under the rear seat cowl. Servo Eliminator £50 currently on its way from Greece, but coming UPS so quite hopefully it will arrive. If/when Royal Mail gets itself sorted it’ll be like Christmas
Not going well then. Just so you know the shop called The Range do some nice micro fibre stuff and it's all good value. I've got quite a few of their micro fibre towels for drying down the cars and I think they were £3 each which is good for a small towel. I paid over £20 for my woolly mammoth towel and they aren't as good as that but for 3 squid they are decent enough.
Costco is the place for microfibre https://www.costco.co.uk/c/Kirkland-Signature-Ultra-Plush-Microfibre-Towels-36-Pack/p/713160
They're really good value, mine slowly get demoted from bodywork, plastics, wheels then chain. Just need to remove that kirkland tag! Used to buy premium Korean MF towels but they're not really worth it. The Auto finesse drying towel is actually really good two, easily dries 2 cars without the need to wring.
Mine start off on car bodywork only then demoted to bike bodywork then wheels and finally greasy bits The ones I referred to from the range is a the big yellow one here And just for completeness the woolly mammoth is in grey. Best value has def been the large yellow from the range. The small cloths are great for general purpose but I personally prefer a large towel as opposed to cloths for drying off before finishing with my pet blower
180 quid on wood and topsoil to build a raised bed for potatoes and I don’t even like gardening, so if the little f**kers grow they will stand me around £20 a kilo ...... never push the button to buy when you’ve been drinking. On a more positive and far more useful note than spuds, £65 on fluids and filter and £39 on a battery for the 400, wise investment when sober.
