5 meters of heavy MDF quartering (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
This is left over from the fitting of our kitchen. It's the bit used to fill in between a cupboard and an end piece. It's unlikely however that you would want it for that as you would need to have a Wren kitchen in exactly this shade... However I think they would be excellent as a basis for a scrap built bench or strong shelves.

Faulty Dyson V8 vacuum cleaner (Southbourne)
Gifted
Battery seems to charge but then if you try and run it you get a few seconds of zoom and then a red light goes on which means battery fault. Replacement batteries are available or there are complicated youtube videos that may allow you to identify the particular fault and fix it. It has not been thrown across the room in frustration - it has merely been subject to withering scorn and replacement.

Free:
A couple of hose reels - no hose (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
It turns out you can get about 25 meters if hose on these reels - but our garden requires longer, so we no longer need these. Sound, but need hoses [of course].

Radiator Towel Rail (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
Expired
Towel rail which hangs off the top of a radiator as shown. Very useful for drying stuff off.

Thule roof bike racks (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
Expired
Two genuine Thule bike carriers. Fit road and mountain bikes. Standard non-aero rails only. I will split the pair if circumstances warrant it.

SImplisafe camera and other bits (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
Expired
In the new house we found an unused security camera which connects to a Simplisafe wireless system - and several door switches/ room monitors which we don't need. If they could be of use to you I am happy to let you have them.

Free:
Water filter for sink tap (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
Expired
We moved to a new house with a built insinkerator - bought a new filter - but before fitting it we turned the tap on and found the whole thing leaked like a sieve... Filter never fitted. It apparently fits many sink taps - have a look at the image.

Sony camera BN1 battery charger (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
Gifted
This is a very, very specific item - so I will be lucky to find someone who needs one. The camera is long gone....

Free:
2 "Smart" Plugs operate by wi-fi (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
Gifted
We never found a use for these. You need to download an app and then apparently you can switch them on & off remotely. They are not the integrated sort as far as I can tell.

AA battery charger (Whiteparish, SP5, Wiltshire)
Gifted
Plugs directly into the wall.

Free:
TV/ Monitor Wall Bracket (SP5, Whiteparish, Wiltshire)
Expired
Basically new & unused - fitted to the wall but unable to support a 44" TV when fully extended - it would be fine with a smaller/ lighter screen or if not asked to fully extend. "Full Motion", so it moves side to side, in & out and angles up & down. All fittings included. Widely sold on e-bay if you want specifications

Huge soft roller luggage (Southbourne)
Gifted
85 x 40 x 30cm[about 100 litres]. Clean, sound, functional. Sort of a Tardis on wheels.

Large soft roller luggage (Southbourne)
Gifted
70 x 40 x 35 cm - about 80 litres. Very well made roller luggage. Clean. Strong. Wheels still work well.

Free:
Sporty bike saddlepack (Southbourne)
Gifted
This is a very neat little pack you attach to your saddle and it has just enough space for tools, a spare inner tube, a pump and even a compact waterproof [if you have one]. Just the thing to have on your bike for a day out with a little piece of mind.

Free:
Eight dining chair cushions (Southbourne)
Gifted
Eight barely used cushions for upright chairs. 40 cm [16in] square. We bought a set of chairs and found them uncomfortable - so we got cushions and that didn’t solve the problems - so here they are. Ideally I want to give them to a single person but if you want only some let me know and I will see if the numbers add up.

Free:
Megane Scenic bits (Southbourne)
Expired
Probably the least useful/ most specfic bits of car I no longer need. A kit to fit a standard radio in a Renault Megane Scenic and a heater hose for the same car. Explaining why I have these bits would take a while, but I certainly don’t have the car now....

Radio fitting Kit Mini/ BMW (Southbourne)
Expired
If you are fitting a radio to an old Mini or BMW this may be what you need.

Black & Decker battery charger (Southbourne)
Gifted
The battery may be dead but the charger lives on! I used it to charge 14.4V drill batteries - but I no longer have the drill....

Free:
Glow Plugs- unused sets of 4 (Southbourne)
Expired
We no longer have the cars these were bought for. One set is for a 20yr old diesel Golf with mechanical injection and so would fit a lot of Audis/ Skodas too. The other was for a Renault Scenic. The Beru [GN018] ones seem to be widely used on Vauxhalls etc but the NGK’s [Y-732U]seem a little more obscure.... If you don’t want them but have a lead on how I might responsibly pass them on, please let me know. I understand I can’t give them to a garage as they do not have “provenance” so they can’t fit them to a customer’s car.

Two chairs (Southbourne)

Perfectly sound & serviceable, but they have been superseded. I can drop them off in the local area if necessary.

Kitchen base unit (Southbourne)
Expired
My elderly friend has got rid of her under the counter fridge, so she now needs a unit to fill the gap. Has anyone got a solid unit they don’t need?

TPlink wireless router (Southbourne)
Expired
Works fine, now surplus to requirements.

Casting to HDMI gizmo (Southbourne)
Gifted
I was struggling to get this to work & then we upgraded our TV so I no longer had to. It’s a device to allow you to connect to an HDMI port through wifi.

Bluetooth keyboard for ipad (Southbourne)

Rechargeable bluetooth keyboard for ipad - really helps with e-mails.

Door bottom draught-proofer - two (Southbourne)
Gifted
Obviously what I am offering is not what I have pictured, but I have a couple of these sprung draught-proofers. They swing down as the door closes, so they are particularly useful if you are trying to draught-proof a door swinging in over a raised threshold.

T handle hex-keys (Southbourne)

Joist & stud detector (Southbourne)

It’s basic but it works. I bought a more sophisticated one….

Drill sharpener (Southbourne)
Gifted
It works really well. You clamp the drill into the jig & then run it over the abrasive. You are supposed to use emery cloth, but I made up a board with a diamond hone which works beautifully.

AVO meter - for repair (Southbourne)
Gifted
Clearing out my garage which means handing over repair projects i haven’t quite got round to… This meeter needs a simple repair with a bit of soldering to make the batteries connect up.
