INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Property in London is very expensive, so before you start your search in earnest you need to have a clear understanding of your budget. Think about how much you can afford to pay each month on rent, and then add in the other essential costs, including household bills, council tax, and transport. The UK government suggests that 35% of income is the most that many people can afford to spend on rent. Be aware that unless you have a well-paid job, you will struggle to find a place in London that costs less than 35% of your income. You can search by postcode online to find out the council tax bands for particular areas: https://www.gov.uk/council-tax-bands Once you have your budget, spend some time thinking about what criteria you will use to judge the different properties you find. Are you looking for a room in a house or flat, or are you looking for your own place? Do you want to be near to a transport hub, such as a tube or train station? Do you want any private outdoor space, or is a nearby park good enough? Are you looking for somewhere furnished, or unfurnished? If you are moving from somewhere where the property and rental prices are lower, you may have to be prepared to downsize. Try to compare your criteria and budget to some online listings. You may have to reset your criteria if your budget doesn't stretch as far you hoped it might. One of the key criteria for you might be a particular area of London you want to live in. London is an enormous city, with distinct areas which each have different characters. If you don't know the city, the best way to get an idea is to spend some time there travelling around a visiting different places. You can use an interactive online tool to help you. Type in some basic information and you will get some details of areas you might be interested in. If you don't know where to start, there are some useful online guides that will give you some basic information about different areas. If you are hoping to get a studio or a one bedroom flat for yourself, but are struggling to see how it will work with your budget, consider renting a room in a shared house or flat. This is very common in London, and is often the only way to afford rent unless you are a high-earner. The basic rule of thumb is that the larger the property, the cheaper the rent will be. A house with six bedrooms will often be less expensive per room than one with three bedrooms. Be aware that more bedrooms does not always mean more bathrooms or more space overall. One of your biggest living costs is likely to be transport. London is a big city and it can take a while to get from one place to another. If you know you will be commuting on public transport, be sure to check the costs and include this in your budgeting. London has an integrated public transport system which includes buses, trains and the Underground. You can buy an Oyster Card which you can top-up with credit, and enables you to travel on all public transport. For transport the city is divided into zones, with Zone One being the centre and Zone Five being the periphery. Landlords are required to check that you are eligible to rent in the UK, and a reputable landlord will want to see your identity documents and immigration status, if applicable. The landlord will make copies of your personal documents and then return the originals to you.

SUMMARY: Determine your budget. Decide on your criteria. Evaluate different areas of London. Consider just renting a room. Evaluate transport costs. Ensure you are eligible to rent.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You do not, however, want to keep driving for long if you can help it. That said, sometimes you have no choice but to keep moving until you can get to help. If the car does not overheat again, you may have had a one-time overheating due to a variety of factors (AC on, hot day, stop and start traffic). Still, you need to keep your eyes on the temperature gauge whenever possible to avoid more issues. Most cars are calibrated to sense overheating before serious engine damage, giving you some time to fix the problem. This does not, however, mean you should ignore your gauges. Air conditioning uses engine power to cool off the car, and you don't need your engine under any more strain than it can handle. Open the windows to cool off instead. While this seems counter-intuitive, cars heaters warm up by sucking heat made by the engine and blasting it into the car. Thus, turning your fans and heat to the highest settings will pull hot air out of the engine and cool the car. It may, however, get a little uncomfortable. Turn the vents to point out the window to prevent things from getting too hot in the cab. Alternately, you can set the heat to the "defroster" setting to avoid it blowing directly on you. Get yourself up to 2000 rpms with the car in neutral. This helps the engine and the fan circulate air quicker, getting cool air and coolant to the engine and helping you remove some heat from the car. If you're in stop/start traffic, this could be a great way to keep the engine moving when the car can't. Though not recommended for long drives, water will help keep your engine cool in a pinch. Add warm water to your radiator, but only after the engine has cooled. Cool water can cause a crack in your engine block due to the extreme change in temperature. If you absolutely must drive with an overheating engine, keep your eye on the temperature gauge. Every time it gets hot, pull over, turn the car off, and wait for 10-20 minutes as it cools. This is not great for the engine, but it is better than trying to drive through it and causing a total meltdown. If your car keeps overheating, has a leak, or cannot start, you need to see a mechanic. Even if these tips help you "deal" with overheating when it occurs, there is likely a larger issue that needs to be fixed before a major meltdown.

SUMMARY:
Keep driving after the temperature gauge lowers back down. Turn off the AC. Crank your heat up to full blast. Put the car in neutral and rev the engine. Add water to the radiator if you are out of coolant. Drive for short stretches, turn the car off, and repeat if you need to keep moving. Know that you will likely need to go to the mechanic if your car chronically overheats.
