My first one

My first one

Just picked my first lock after getting a beginner’s set, an eBay pot-luck lock haul, and a lot of frustration practice. Am I correct in identifying this as a Yale 1109 or mortise?

I’m feeling quite proud of myself and looking forward to the next one.

Considering a 2019 Jaguar F-Pace D3.0 V6S…

Hello Car People,

Subject line says it all really. I’m considering buying a 2019 diesel V6 supercharged F-Pace. I’ve read elsewhere that the 2.0 ingenium engines are unreliable, so my main request is around the reliability or otherwise of the V6.

My reason for not opting for a newer model is that, by and large, after about 2020 the enshittification of cars really kicked into high gear with driver “aids” and increased focus on screens instead of tactile controls. 2016 - 2019 seems to be a sweet spot for functionality, modernity and driving experience.

Appreciate your thoughts - thanks.
