I may not be understanding the question, but if you want to remotely control some items plugged into a socket wouldn't a simple smart switch/plug which can be controlled by an app do what you want? Can also set what times it automatically turns on and off and some even monitor energy usage. Can you...

I’ve done it with knx products, but it would normally need at least a partial re-wire, but the scope could be checked with a survey. ‘Corridor’ type presence detection above each bank of desks, two power feeds to each desk set, knx relays switching the power feeds and a desk mounted switch. One powe...

A weird one yesterday, a friend has an EQC300 as a test as his company car needs changing and he had it on 24 hour test. Firstly, with 4 fully grown men in the car you would be at the max vehicle weight, which is ridiculous as it’s only a GVW of 3T. Secondly, the performance is strange as it launch...

In a car park next to the Channel4 building the other day -

E36 - Also the Jaconeli F1 drove by me near the Gloucester Rd on Thursday and sounded great (I was in my car on a teams call, so couldn’t take a photo) on the way to Salon Prive I assume, where I was meant to be but got caught up with client meetings.

David’s done Auto Vivendi a few times, which is owned by Craig (ex-VMax organiser).

Started up the red Land Rover and brought it out of the shed for the first time in a least two years. I’d forgotten how healthy the engine sounds. Eight years of almost zero use meant that it had no brakes. Half a litre of fluid later and it had a bit of pedal and a drip from the osr caliper. I’m go...

Looks like EVs are now at the critical mass point where they are costing the government and local councils money. EV parking concessions removed from Westminster city council. And whenever one council does something the others follow shortly after. I imagine they’ll be charged Congestion Charge soo...

Surely the correct solution is to road register the mower and drive it to the petrol station, then you don't need to buy a new jerry can?

So your Audi will go from £0 to £600 for a few years then another random calculation will be made... I have no issue with road tax as long as the roads are actually maintained, and I still don't get the logic when people say they won't buy cars in the >225 tax bands - the difference is two tanks of ...

I assume he means the glue gun kit, which I am certain works, but only on one panel shape/thickness/rigidity.

Chipping/scratching glass and creating more dents is generally the result of an amateur tries!

I've lowballed people - but I usually do it early doors so not to waste their time, and also with reason; like giving comparitive dealer prices, what it's worth p/x and how I've settled on it where I am. I've had it work in the past, and in fact, very recently (although I still rejected the car!) B...

I assumed this was going to be about making sure you got a bowl of All Bran in the morning. I think that's more exciting than talking about internet speeds! I live near London Bridge, about 5 min walk from the Shard, and the max speed in my building is 70Mb, so countryfolk have no reason to complai...

Sounds like standard tourist hotspots in London behaviour - the pickpocketing and petty crime levels seem to have increased though, definitely in the shops, they're facing unprecedented levels of theft and abuse. I think the phone theft by guys all dressed in black riding black derestricted electri...

Having spent time in the motor trade I have a reasonable number of stories, some of which might involve myself and/or colleagues. On a particularly quiet Sunday at a dealership the only to people on-site might have shut up shop and switched the CCTV off, taken the immaculate 3 year old Quattroporte ...

First gen c class Mercs used to be cheap to insure for young drivers, but I don’t know how it is these days.

first thing I need to do is get a quote for bat survey to be carried out by an experienced bad specialist" Dude - try and get a good specialist! :geek: Just do the five day course and become 'the' bat specialist - I'm working with a developer in Chelmsford at the moment who did exactly that as...

Ugh.. CPZ’s are today head scratch. The signs say controlled zone so I stayed away, now looks like it’s fine to drive but not park (I think!).. and modern developments may not be entitled to a permit to park :shock: :? Nothing in our area (SE1 near Bermondsey St) that was built after about 2006 is ...

Yes they have a lot of land but if it was sold of, what would happen to it ? It would be bought by Saudi's as they're the only ones who could afford it. This is part of the problem. You never know what the next Monarch will do, but the current one has done a decent job of preserving Cornish country...

Don’t remember if I ever saw one in a mag; but I might have forgotten because they’ve been around so long, the original McLaren F1 mules used Ultima bodywork :shock: I've been out in two, but never driven one. The first was a fairly early Spider with about 350hp, not cared for by the owner (bought ...
