I have a spare parts background and I’d stick with Gates. It’s proven and used by many oems.

There is nothing wrong with the Haval and the last 8 years have proven their quality. If you want a better price, I’d suggest you look…

It comes down to your budget, Ive renovated over 10 kitchens and only use Bosch or Miele. If you’re after freestanding then look at some…

How young is too young to form an addition? I wouldn’t let them near it until they are teenagers!

I’d just change they esp at 50% off so there’s no need to worry for the next few years. Pirelli p7 is a good tyre and go with normal…
