Hah! That looks like an AIR module, very popular about 20 years ago, right up to the time when the wind piped up, when it screeched like a banshee. They were also well known for burning out. There's one in the shed, sans blades. But your point is well made. Maybe this person thought the trees...

Rule of Tesco applies - every little bit helps.

Yes, I would absolutely agree with you, except for the last sentence. Wind turbines need a clean airflow. The devices sold as "urban" or "rooftop" are snake oil. There are so many studies on the need for clear air flow, it's amazing that, even now, every now and again, yet another promise of...

Here's a blog post from way back when - The Superwind's first winter - The Quibble Locker I think it was £1500 at the time, and I did the installation. I do have some figures from the last few years when I finally got around to putting in a monitoring system, but I don't have those on the public...

We waved when you went past the track to our house, but you didn't wave back! :)

Speaking as one who has had wind chargers for 25+ years, and depended on them for winter power for 18 years, the one question with all these "new" designs is why don't you see more of them. The main reason is they really don't work, have a small operating window, are hard or impossible to...

About the only "rule" we have when charging is to do something, rather than just sit in the car waiting. We were at the Tesla chargers in Inverness a while back, and a carload of folk were next door, I think 5 adults. All except one were asleep. And this with the centre of Inverness literally 3...

Be interesting to follow this as we may have to do an almost-full- length-of-the-island trip this winter. The Scotland leg is old hat, if you pardon the mixed metaphors, but we can learn from you on the southern Britain leg.

And a nice ostentatious notepad, taking down everything they say, will return the threatening compliment. Maybe even record the discussion, letting them know that you will doing that "because I have reason to believe inappropriate work is being forced on me" Just an idea.

Ah! No doubt then he'll fiddle with his phone while driving.

Surely there's some way of escalating this. It's staggeringly transparently extortion.

What you mean the map? No, it was a paper one.

I usually switch off speed recognition as it seemed better at looking up side roads than straight ahead. Also the A9, which we do a lot, has numerous 50mph signs for lorries, and that doesn't help. I haven't really tried it with the latest firmware update. BUT.... I think you may have found the...

Sure. It's from Aliexpress and described as "For MG ZS EV Mulan MG4" The URL is https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007783314149.html And rats! - it's come down in price since I ordered!

It's very bad around these parts. On our trips to the east coast, about 40 of the 70 miles distance has no mobile coverage, with, off the top of my head, about 7 or 8 places where the signal comes or goes, so plenty of cycling. We've not had the issue you describe.

Responses to mentioning the sorry episode @Rolfe has had to endure at the hands of Macklin, one person mentioned having had a Lexus some years back, when a red light saying "stop NOW or perish" or words to that effect. They took it to Arnold Clark in Edinburgh who diagnosed an issue with the...

For what it's worth, I'm doing what I can to warn others of this blatant attempt at shaking you down.

" I was told it was their property and it wasn't policy to let customers have that information." There you go - that's the story right there. It's a shameful, frankly nauseating scam. Very sorry you're having to face this. Sounds like you have a gem in Andrew though, so if I were you, I'd take...

I don't know the version, but now you mention it, the temperature seemed a lot more sane than before. Last year, we did get a suggestion that the brakes were wearing fast, and would need replaced, along with the further suggestion that we use regen 1 more frequently to clean up the disks, the...

Just to report back Goth Leo has his service today and I am glad that we had the software update done. I've not tested the LKA, as we really can't use it on the trip home, but the cruise control improvements have transformed its usability. No more jerky snapping as you turn a corner, and much...
