    Van Racking

    Mines always a shittip the cab and the back ! Mrs streetlighter did promise to clean the cab after smoking in it but never got round to it and apparently I'm the lazy one. The back of mine needs plylining then I can build some shelves.

    Calculating Prospective Fault Current

    Is that Newlec tester the one that's basically a Megger LT5 ? I still have one in the cupboard. Would still be using it but not practical with having no dlok. I regretted selling my other Megger separates good quality and reliable is how I'd describe them.
