  1. His inbox maybe full **edit** Have you tried from a computer?
  2. It's time for mrs glrnet to change her company car, she currently has an Audi A3 3 door and has to carry quite a lot of bulky samples for work which often means boxes end up on the back seat and are difficult to lift out of the car with only 3 doors. During her recent trips to Canada she has had various larger SUV/Crossover/4WD vehicles and consequently enjoys the additional vision offered by sitting a bit higher than in the Audi and the additional space. There are a number of vehicles under consideration including Audi A3 5 door but we wondered if anyone here has a Qashqai and what you think about it's "repmobile" qualities? She'll probably do 20/25k miles PA and it needs to be diesel and maybe auto too. Any constructive advice much appreciated.
  3. +1 much prefer a keyboard on my phone with black keys and white letters
  4. If you're getting battery issues, use the swipe up for quick settings and switch off your wifi and BT if you're not using them. Hunting for wifi all day really eats power. In settings switch off Background App Refresh, switch off auto brightness (seems to churn battery) and again use quick settings if you need to adjust - I find the mid point works nicely. Plus the normal stuff, switch off button click noises, set the screen auto off to a short time, disable fetch new data for email (or switch the frequency down to hourly). This may help too:- http://gizmodo.com/how-to-take-care-of-your-smartphone-battery-the-right-w-513217256/1416982678/@ericlimer
  5. Rickdon has paid to test the water trading these, prices and more details to follow.
  6. Well said Rich, Joy and I were discussing the very same thing on Friday, it's a good job the ipcc aren't bookmakers!!!
  7. Sounds like I missed something! Sorry. Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear
  8. Looks like you took the Zed a bit too boldly mate.
  9. That is outrageous. Trip Advisor the life out of them!!! They made a profit from your stay and now want to make a profit sending something back to you which they should be sending FOC or at worst at cost!!! Don't they understand that people have a choice!!!? mrs glrnet's eldest left her electric toothbrush behind in a hotel in Ireland and they sent it back FOC with a nice covering letter. **edit** I've just looked on TA and I'm not surprised really.
  10. Nice one Chubby, glad Abbey got things sorted after what sounds like a complete mare
  11. Trickle chargers are a good idea, have a look here:- http://www.ctekchargers.co.uk/?gclid=COeYuuG27LkCFeXMtAod3wgACA
  12. That's what so good about this place, make sure you stick around Niki
  13. Agree with Ekona, time to stop being nice and get sorted. Let's face it, they've had your car for a number of days and the only way you are able to speak to them is by you ringing them. This is NOT customer service and they are certainly not the actions of an organisation who would be filling me with confidence. If they won't help you now what are they going to do when if you allow them to get into the "repair" scenario, quite frankly you don't even want to go there, if what you say is correct then the car was not fit for purpose. I honestly think they are hoping you are going to quietly go away. Letter to them as Ekona says and go from there.
