So I have a couple of 5 year old versions of this and when I replace them these should be OK as rated for travel? https://www.safelincs.co.uk/fire-angel-co-9d-carbon-monoxide-alarm/?fGB=true&gclid=CjwKCAiAmO3gBRBBEiwA8d0Q4hJNKdzxzl84AUM-0-mEIMYDCo5U9RhdFR_GudTLTzx244JXG4o6dBoC7lwQAvD_BwE

Apple replaced mine at 88% for £25 on Monday. It doesn't need to be below 80%, just say it's not lasting a day and they'll do it. Mine seems to last forever on a charge now compared to when it had 88% capacity.

I bought a recon for from an eBayer in Poland for £400 5 years ago and it's run perfectly ever since. Sometimes it's just not worth f'ing about with really old ones.

Jeremy Vine show is covering it right now.

You'd have thought that since the introduction of ANPR on the roads that tax, MOT and insurance dodging would be a thing of the past but every day I see cars on the road that are SORN and have no MOT insurance. In some cases the same cars have been doing this for several years.

I put a sheet of perspex inside the glass last year and pinned it in, then realised I'd left the licence sandwiched between the glass and the perspex. It still says 2017. On the other side I remembered to take the licence off before fitting the perspex so that side displays 2018. Currently 2017 faces the towpath - I wonder if I'll get an naughtyboy email.

? From Three's own site: Take a deep breath, you're about to dive into Lifetime and find out who's Britain's Next Top Model. And the big surprise twist is that you can watch it without using up your data. Because streaming TV shows is now infinite. Explore 100+ channels of live TV, including Dave, History®, Lifetime and Discovery anytime.

I use it through a Firestick already with my phone as a hotspot. It’s doesnt matter what the device is as long as the data comes from Netflix servers.

Saw this the other day and decided to go for it as we've started using Netflix and Deezer a fair bit. Three are offering 40Gb mobile broadband Sim only for £16 per month including Go Binge so streaming from Netflix doesn't come out of the allowance. I had to phone them because I couldn't manually enter my address, and they gave it me for £14 a month. Admittedly it's a 24 month contract but for the price I couldn't find anything better. Might be useful for others with heavy streaming requirements. http://store.three.co.uk/view/searchTariff?priceplan=&deviceType=SIM_ONLY_MBB&greatForServices= This includes tethering by the way,

Just did some googling and the average person can jump around 7'6" from a standing start or 10' from a running start - you'd definitely not want to be faltering at the jump point to clear a narrow lock comfortably

Our diesel boiler (5kw) heats 4 rads and a calorifier and doesn't make the radiators so hot that you'd burn yourself unless you held your hand with full pressure on them for ages. Even a small person wouldn't do this as as soon as they felt the heat they'd remove their hands

For the same reason most boats aren't fully 2 packed from new I suppose - cost.

I'm continuing to sort out the wiring in my engine bay and have successfully rewired the VSR to charge leisure first rather than starter, removed a pile of cables that had been left behind by previous owners adding/removing bits organically, added fuses where there were none, and isolators where I would like them - hoorah! The last thing I would like to do is add an isolator switch to the starter battery and am wondering what rating this needs to be. According to the Bukh manual the starter is: Gear Driven 1KW output. So, would that roughly translate to 1000/12 = 83amps, and is that continuous or is the cold crank current likely to be say double/treble to get it moving? The switch I was going to use is rated: Rated at 300A continuous (1 hour) at 48V DC and 1000A for 5 seconds. Thank you

Have you looked on Eurocarparts.com? I bought a Bosch S3 for my boat recently and with the code JULY70 (35% discount) got it delivered for about £100 (and that's a big battery). You can see the measurements on all the batteries and compare like Tony says. https://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-parts/car-electrics-and-car-lighting/electrical/car-battery/?444770965&1&cc5_1004

After LED & OLED I fully expect the next new screen technology to be QED

This will be the case when I've finished rewiring it all

A lot of people use it for blacking their hull when on a budget as it's half the price of Intertuff.

I have one of these between the panels (2 x 250w) and the 40a MPPT: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12-48V-Car-Audio-Circuit-Breaker-Protection-Fuse-Holder-4-8-AWG-Wire-40A/232854157027?hash=item36373076e3:g:vqsAAOSwwbNbTxNz

I need to revisit this thread... The VSR was wired Starter first, I am going to change this in the next few days (major cabling tidy-up going on in the engine bay at present). Something that concerns me now though - the Tracer 40a MPPT connected to this setup does a monthly equalise charge at 16.2v so presumably the (new) starter battery gets hit with that too, not just the 4 Trojan T105s? Is that OK?

Discussing locking right now...

Thank you all. As Tony says, it is a DV36, so I shall label it Stop Solenoid

I’m currently labelling all the wires and pipes in my engine hole and am not sure what this one does... (black with blue crimped ring terminal) It connects into the fuel distribution system at one end and travels through the wiring loom and disappears into the back the the main control panel (which I’m yet to remove). Thanks David

Engine hole 1 year after the major cleanup....
