    December PE mag.

    KME - A fair assumption I guess from my posts but not true. I will be with one of the providers at some point within 6-8 weeks apparently. So yes I do the know the cost, tomorrow I will be spending

    December PE mag.

    The AC comment wasn't being sarcastic even if you took it as so. We're not going to agree here, I would willingly report dangerous or rip off work, I wouldn't report non-part P work that was done well. I can understand why people would, especially if undercut by them. But from what i've read...

    December PE mag.

    So reporting him gets him caught, fined, he changes his ways and you get the work? Get real! I see from other posts you know what you are doing and have 'earned' your AC status so to speak, but you know as well as I do that being with nic, elecsa, napit etc. does not guarantee that you are any...

    If he's not bodging it, or ripping people off why report him? Everyone agrees part p is a scam, so if he is doing a good job and getting payed for it, good luck I say.

    LED street lighting .

    Reminds me of this a while back. It was on Jeremy Vine, basically said what it saved will never be anywhere near what it costs, as they fail to mention they would all need to be changed again in 25 years or so (don't quote me on that bit)

    Most practical van?

    I had use of an 08 Ducato this year, 20000 miles/4 months. As much as it pains me to say it, it was pretty damn good! It was only 100bhp but was fully loaded with the bluetooth system, air con, electrics etc for less than a bottom spec transit. In my experience of VW (not the very latest...

    well you can buy a rewire off ebay now !

    I did some work for someone once who advertised it on ebay! Him and his mate were supposed to be chasing and fixing boxes but just sat on the chair all day doing nothing! Paid in cash at the end of the day though.

    New Build Heating

    Hypothetical here, 2 new builds, 2 bed bungalows (semi's, next door to each other) 75sqm one, 80sqm other. Proper insulation/double glazing/draughtproofing throughout, electric UFH in bathrooms in each, most likely wet underfloor elsewhere. Gas is available on the street but not at either house.

    Flipping van

    A dual purpose vehicle does not have to be car derived though. http://www.fta.co.uk/emembership/year-book/2008/cars.pdf The caddy, as long as it met the requirements listed, would have the higher limits. Interesting with the 4x4 bit, looks like a 4motion Transporter would also have the higher...

    cordless V power

    Surely a mains version of anything is going to be stronger, cheaper and lighter than the equivalent battery version? If you will always have power to your transformer available, get mains. Bearing in mind you'll need power to charge batteries! The only tool I have battery and mains versions of...
