My wife needs a new car as she have been driving a 2007 kia ceed to its eventual death. It's either keep throwing £300, £700 etc every now and then at the Kia to keep it going or buy something else.

I already have an A4 B9 2.0 TDI that I'm happy with and just need a run around for the wife to get too and from work etc. She drives about 50 miles a week with the odd motorway journey. I have about £5k to spend and was looking at economical small cars, but then thought "why not try something older and nicer" and started looking at TTs.

Its only 2 seats but we already have the bigger car so I figured it would be fine. This particular example is a 2.0 TSFI and it looks really nice.

Any thoughts on this car and engine? Is it known to have any issues, is it one to avoid or am I good to go. Its in for over £5k for reference and has 77k miles.

I just bought a new battery doorbell and installed it. My previous Ring Doorbell was purchased in October 2021 so this is supposed to be an upgrade.

Is this picture quality a joke? That bush is bright green so why are the colours so washed out? Is this normal or is it faulty? The image also looks a lot more pixilated that my previous 1080p doorbell. This was taken during day light hours btw.

Thanks

I bought a used Dyson v15 Absolute Detect for £170. The advert said good condition except for some dents and scratches.

I picked it up and it was very dirty with a few more dents, chips and scratches than anticipated but I paid the £170 because I figured they are expensive brand new so what do dents matter.

The motor brush head was disgusting and filled with gunk when I got it out the bag and it stunk of dog, so I set about cleaning the whole thing. Wiped all the surfaces with a vinegar solution made it look and smell as good as possible. I planned to by compressed air and blast all the dust and dog out of it.

But when I came to cleaning the main body I noticed this massive crack above the handle which was never disclosed. As you can see it flexes when you hold the vacuum up.

I contacted the guy and he's agreed to let me return it for a refund as he didnt know there was a crack. Which is fair play to him. But he also offered £30 off to keep it.

What does everyone think? Is this crack repairable with a soldering iron maybe or should I just cut my losses and return it?

Has anyone come across this issue and know if its an easy fix? Motor starts up but makes a pulsing noise and stops. AI suggested it could be as easy cleaning the filter but doesnt seem to be working.

Any suggestions?
