    Tesla charging issue

    While I have the kit for checking EV chargepoints I often wonder on the longevity of the connecting lead that connects the car to the chargepoint as I have never seen an adaptor for testing them like you would PAT test an extension lead or is this an opportunity that has not been exploited yet

    D Day

    I always find the 6th June one of those thought provoking days more so this year because it is 80 years and it is very unlikely that many if any will make the 90th anniversary I know some of my relatives fought in WWII one of my uncles parachuted into Arnheim, my grandad was at some point in...

    Domestic CCTV recommendations

    I can only agree with you that they are easy to terminate I don't rate the push through RJ45 connectors as they can be more troublesome and time consuming than the normal types, I have had alot problems with these push through RJ45 connectors even those from reputable manufacturers which when...

    19th Edition

    Given that past amendments have generally had some meat to them the proposed Amd 3 seems a bit limited and looking at it the changes seem a bit late to the party Solar has been around for a good while now so why hasn't the directional RCD / RCBO issue come to light a number of years ago or is it...

    A small Bi-Hex socket will normally remove them in the absence of the proper screwdriver Thorn used a screw like that on quite a few of their bulkhead type fittings

    Selv fan not enough

    I always find that quick read of the fans spec is a good start, the m³/hr they will move can be really poor on some fans especially the so called "quiet" ones throw in a longish duct and / or a lack of air replacement and the end result is a poorly ventilated bathroom

    VO units…are they a thing again?

    There seems to be a bit of a resurgance recently in connection with the higher grid voltages that the PV installations are apparently creating, some will no doubt be taken in with others will treat them with the contempt they deserve

    Electric Gates

    What is tripping is it an RCD / RCBO or MCB and does this trip only occur when the gate is operated What tests did the gate guy do to decide a motor had failed If the gate equipment has been disconnected from the supply at the gate end then that would suggest that the fault is in the supply cable.

    Texecom Veritas R8 issues

    You seem to have had the same tech support experience as me, the worst I have had recently is Salamander pumps who won't admit they have a design fault in the flow switches of one of their pumps and the problem they trot out is the pump I have used is wrong and it should have been a negative...

    climate change is natural?

    You are obviously a climate change advocate who does not want to debate it and anyone who disagrees is climate change denier, Man maybe one of many factors but is not the sole cause of climate change and I doubt we can tax climate change out of existance The earth since it was formed has had...
