Maxi cosí child car seat (Caversham RG4)
Maxi-Cosi baby car seat and ISOFIX base, both in good, clean condition. Features an adjustable handle and comfortable padding. Can rotate on stand to help putting child in. I’m afraid I cannot find our newborn inserts but if needed, it looks like they can be bought separately online. The base has a support leg for extra stability and easy installation in your car. Some minor signs of general use but nothing affecting safety or function. I believe it’s the Maxi Cosi coral 360

Brother HL-6050D b/white laser printer - FOR SPARES (Fords Farm RG31)
After faithful service for many years it is no longer working despite many attempts - by Brother AND my toner supplier - to identify the problem. If interested you need to be aware that the final conclusion was 'The printer is completing the print process but toner is not being transferred on to the paper... it is possible that an internal mechanical part has worn or failed. Replacement parts for this model are now extremely limited, so a repair is probably impossible or economically viable.
