WHAT THE FUCK???!!!!

Depends on how wide the bit that's actually fine through is I guess.
But, looking at the tyre in general, doesn't look like you're far off the minimum wear marker..... And the wear/deterioration around the bases of those tread blocks would make me think new tyre time anyway.
Sorry.

I was in my Neigbours house earlier ( invited ).

Inside his double glazing windows and bi-folding doors there was a blind……a blind in the void between the panes, WTF.

Have I been living under a stone - because I have never seen these before, what a brilliant idea, no blowing in the wind no cleaning, fantastic.

My old office complex had lots of these fitted around 2000, most of them are still going strong. Breakages normally caused by those using the "it wouldn't move so I forced it" method.

After a very small amount of research I have found that there are 2 common problems-

1 - the magnet that controls to blind internally can fall off the slider.

2 - the blind can open skew whiff (one end higher than the other) if opened too fast.

Both issues require unit replacement.

I still think they are cool….

TLDR: Surveys aren't worth the paper they are printed on.

Inevitably, that's what happens.
We bought ours such years ago - the surveyors reported listed "subsidence in the area" and "older double glazing".....
What it didn't mention was the frames where actually rotten and had shrunk away, meaning they where barely fitted in some points just behind the lintels so every bit of wind got through and when it rained heavy, your could shower in the bays. Or also didn't mention the from door panels where rotten (despite visually looking ok), the bifold doors where actually wood and not uPVC (more rot and poor fitting from shrinkage), the kitchen floor tiling started to shift/lift and break up 3 months after we moved in and behind the bay wallpaper, there where huge chunks of brickwork taken out, meaning it was partially single skin. And the rear decking was rotten but had been disguised with fake grass and a chimenea so you never stood over that area.
We've spent £20k in five years on repairs and if money was no object, could easily spend another ten.
But as I drive an Elgrand...... Fuel first😁.
Hopefully you got the property for a decent price and knew most of the issues before purchase.

I shall let you keep her, Ray. On one condition*...
You take her out, look after her, treat her well, allow her to see the UK in the Elgrand and you take pics of her enjoying herself and post them on here.


*A few conditions.

Sometimes life is hard, sometime life is cruel. Here's something that will maybe help take the weight off for 30 mins or so.

Candidates for the Darwin award. All of them.
