Re: Your fleet running reports
I wonder if they put ‘spares and repairs’ on the sales invoice?! When I was in the classic car trade it wasn’t uncommon for the sales invoice to basically say that it was a piece of art to look at, rather than drive… To be fair to my boss at the time, when selling cars like 1960s Maseratis that had...

A LWB Range Rover from our favourite Reading bargain-basement outlet. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/838590548091747/?ref=marketplace_profile&referral_code=undefined VERY strangely if you look up the MOT history, DVLA have it registered as a "LANDROTER RANGEROVER". Exactly ...

Re: Anyone in londinium?
I'm ashamed to say that my borough voted overwhelmingly in favour of Susan Hall. Luckily the rest of London isn't quite so insane. Khan isn't perfect, but he's a damn sight better than the alternatives. This. Khan definitely would not be my choice, but Boris left him with a mess to sort out and my ...

Re: V8 Vantage hire experience
A lot of differences though. IMG_0882.jpeg I can’t find a photo that really does it justice. Looks much better IRL. I agree. I seem to recall our first demo car showing Volvo service centres on the sat nav though, which wasn’t ideal… They did a good job using the Volvo parts in other areas too, and...

Doug visits OV9, clearly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLHjXAc24qc He's right. Although he's a bit obsessed about interior parts sharing. The Volvo bits ? Does not bother me in the slightest. The instrument panel makes up for everything. Best I’ve ever had, by miles. Gorgeous. You get the origina...

Re: Mesh wifi
By coincidence, my Draytek 2866ax shat it's biscuits last night, so I'm now running on my old (oooold) 2830n Which is....painful. And doesn't like VPNs much. And has shit wifi by modern standards. The 2866ax is still technically within 2yr warranty, but the RMA process might take a while, so I'm re...

Re: FTAO: Sparky people/RichB
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...

Re: FTAO: Sparky people/RichB
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...
Re: EV Thread
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...

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.- Thu Apr 11, 2024 3:43 pm

Re: Your fleet running reports
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...

Re: FTAO EV owners - possible action required before end of March-24
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...

Re: Jerry can recommendations
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 ...

Re: Paintless Dent Removal.
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!

Re: Selling Cars Privately
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...
