Started my lawnmower (Honda) on 2nd pull today which is usual no matter when I go to start it. It's an absolute workhorse, belonged to my Father-in-law when he had a landscaping company so is complete overkill for my needs.
As for my Stihl strimmer I just didn't have the energy today to try and get that bast*rd started

Didn't know police contacted insurance company for you now
Similar thing happened to me years ago. Woke up in morning to find bike stolen. Contacted Police & insurance. I then went for a scout round the bad estates in town and found it in a communal alley behind a row of houses. Wires all stripped and twisted together in a failed attempt to start it.
Pushed it back home, contacted Police & insurance again ( this was only about 3 hours after I first reported it) and all was fine in the world until I got my renewal. Rang insurance up and they said it had gone up because I made a claim. I said the claim was cancelled after a few hours and no payout was made. Doesn't matter as my file shows a claim made for a stolen bike.
I wrongly assumed a claim against your insurance would only count once they had actually paid out

Still waiting to do mine. I live on a hill which apparently has underground streams according to a neighbour. This means boggy grass until probably April along with moss, so much bloody moss!

Chances slim, sods law highly likely.
My naughty mot story:
I Inherited an old car. Needing MOT, tax, insurance. Didn't bother with insurance at time as I reasoned if it failed mot then likely wasn't worth the cost to get it up and running and would be scrapping. My local garage is less than 3/4 mile from my house so I figured sod it I'll just take it.
A few hours later I get a phone call to say not only has it not passed but the handbrake had failed while parked up and it had rolled into a customers land rover
I told him I will pay whatever it would cost to get it sorted, shitting myself at thought of owner wanting to go through insurance. Thankfully the bodywork guy got it sorted and miraculously I wasn't charged, I think it was more scuffed paintwork than real damage.
So the moral of the story is always keep your dodgy uninsured vehicle in gear when parked

Welcome to the forum
Just had a look and you are right, yb50 spares seem to be pretty limited. Not sure why

No idea what he's on about that's been deleted either. None of us have deleted anything of his from what I can see. In fact nothing has been deleted for a long time apart from spam, it's just not the kind of forum that needs a lot of moderation.

Boot space on a Juke is shockingly small for the size of the car. My friend used to struggle getting pram in hers.
Speaking of boot space, my wife is currently leasing a Renault Kadjar. One nice little feature is the back seats are all on rails so you can slide them backwards or forwards like you can with front seats. Useful as she doesn't usually have anyone sat in back so we keep the seats fully forward to maximise boot space. Probably on a lot of cars nowadays but first time I've seen it

I think that happens to a lot of folk. The same thing happened to my wife on a recent check up. Sent her home with a bp kit and she had to log it over a week, all perfectly normal at home.
Definitely. My resting heart rate is in the high 50's usually but at the doctors it was in the 90's while sat in the waiting room. I was doing breathing exercises to try and get it down before I went in

Just a little update.
I'm now down from 96kg to 88kg ( 15st 11lbs to 13st 8lbs for the oldies) Pretty much just from eating better and cutting out sweets, alcohol, food at work. Wife bought me a home testing meter from Amazon ( stab your finger, put blood on a strip, run it through the scanner ) and it currently says I'm at 5.7 so still a bit to go but a shit load better than 7.1 I'm now in the high bracket as compared to very high.

If you go for a ride out with the right kind of people you'll soon find if your kill switch or side stand switch are working when you pull up at a red light

@Bender Completely agree. A spare tyre should be standard in a car not an optional extra

This website might help. Enter the reg number and it'll come up with the colour code. Works for my car at least

It's become the fashion around here for local knobheads to drive around with their fog lights on all the time. Feck knows why
