    Ford Transit Connect

    On a slightly different note I heard that Audi have renamed the latest model of the TT to being the TNCS. Apparently under the current electrical regulations they won't be able to export them into the UK.:)

    The Great 'British' Suit

    It would be quite interesting if every product sold was forced by law to come with a map like the one in the OP.

    Restoring Norton Ghost Image

    Wow, this is a blast from the past, I used to use Ghost quite often in the days of Win95 and 98. If i remember correctly you can only restore certain ghost HDD backup images onto another harddrives of identical size and disk geometry. I'd suggest trying to create a virtual drive which is...

    Best son in the world.....

    Ahhh, I can see why you'd refer to those a breadbox. It was unlikely any of the Renaults of that era would have ended up on the 'cool wall' due to their stylish outer.

    hey whats your name ??

    I've got my suspicions that youtube's 'recommended for you' algorithm is buggy. For some reason after the video you posted was finished it recommended this for me; https://youtu.be/KGuFn0RPgaE I only ever watch porn on youtube so I'm not sure why it thought I'd be interested in a couple of...

    Best son in the world.....

    It was a Renault 16, black and it looked like a hearse. Whimsical engineering and lack of styling aside it was actually a milestone for me being the first reliable car I'd ever owned. It was spacious (I'm 6ft 4in tall), comfortable, quiet, very very reliable, economical, very big boot area, it...

    Best son in the world.....

    Renault used to never cease to amaze me, you'd swear their designers have never seen other cars before going by how differently they do things in some cases. When I was an apprentice I had a Renault that had the gear lever on the steering column and the umbrella handle hand brake lever stuck...

    Reducing Condensation

    ^^ What he said. If there's up to 10mm of water pooling in the enclosures I'd suggest further investigations to find the cause rather than immediately trying to treat the symptoms and silica won't help with this much water. Can you post a picture of one of the enclosures that's flooding and...

    pme with earth rod

    If the OP is using an SWA to supply his shed and is knocking in an earth rod with a <200ohm Ra at said shed, why wouldn't you terminate the armour of the SWA at both ends to effectively connect the new rod the the MET if the supply is already PME? (Assuming the shed is supplied direct from...

    buying a frost stat to keep freezer above freezing

    Not sure why you're against them, we've used the self regulating type heater tapes (without the thermostat) for various applications over many years and they're pretty reliable.

    buying a frost stat to keep freezer above freezing

    You can buy flexible trace heaters which are designed specifically for this kinda application. There's the type that just looks like a single wire but usually that type needs to be over a certain length which will be longer than you need (usually a few meters). You also get the flat type which...

    A car on the TT course!!

    I had a GS1000 many moons ago, I'm sure it had air pressure adjustable shocks unless I'm confusing it with something else..

    Chargemaster Causing High Pitched Whine From Sockets..?

    Harmonics or high freq PCM switching noise but not sure why or how it would cause resonating at sockets or switches, far more likely to cause the MCB or RCD to buzz.Try installing a filter, shouldn't be expensive and you could even make one yourself. My first step would be to check the earthing...

    Replacing Lv Down Lights With Gu10 Fittings

    You'd need to remove the transformers entirely if you install new 230v fittings, also the new fittings would probably require the earth wire to be connected whereas the old fittings may not have required it.

    Advice To A New Kindle Owner .

    It converts ebooks between formats so they're not tied to a single device and it has impressive library capabilities. Well worth the effort and it's free.

    Advice To A New Kindle Owner .

    From my experience Kindles aren't fussy about their charger. To get the most out of your Kindle get yourself a copy of Calibre.http://calibre-ebook.com/download
