    VCHRGD 'chargers'

    Sorry I obviously didn't make the point of my post well enough. The point was that I would probably need a complete re-install, as opposed to just being able to stick a different box on the wall and reconnecting a few wires. This would include removing of the matte:e and other stuff needed for...

    VCHRGD 'chargers'

    It says IP55 in the FAQs. so dust protected and water jet proof. Maybe it reported differently in different places ?? Regs have changed since I had my current one installed in 2020. I have a matt:e box as they couldn't drive an earth rod in anywhere. I suspect other than the cable going through...

    Next Car?

    For the gameboy thefts, for second hand vehicles there is a £49 dealer fix to update the security if it hasn't been done already, and newer cars manufactured after Feb 2024 have been fixed at the factory. The earlier tiktok theft stuff was a USA thing for cars sold without immobilisers.

    Yes, I have asked them. They simply said they have made recent changes that should help. It hasn't. :(

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    Thanks, was just aware that shortened web links were not allowed. I know that doesn't strictly apply here but was being super careful. Will do as suggested in future :)

    VCHRGD 'chargers'

    Does anyone have any experience of these. I'm considering replacing my EVSE ('charger') and have seen these at a 'cheaper than others price' of £745 tethered or untethered fully installed by Smart Home Charge' They are also Octopus Intelligent Go compatible...

    ev.energy app malfunctioning

    I use the ev.energy app to control my charging but in the last couple of months this has become very unreliable. Not starting charge when cheap rate starts, not stopping when it ends and stopping for a period during. I am on Octopus Go (not intelligent) and all settings are okay and unchanged...

    Are we watching an empire collapse in real time?

    Not all Americans agree with the orange one.

    12V battery drained in 48 hours whilst locked

    I used similar for my AA Wireless adapter but bought from eBay, always cheaper than amazon for such things. If anyone is interested only £2.95...

    Archev's adventures in the Berlingo

    Consider yourself one of the lucky few to have seen some of these almost mythical road workers. I unfortunately have only ever seen what I must presume is their scat around their hunting areas. For those unfamiliar that can be identified easily as orange and white and conical shaped.

    Contributor of the mth for Jan 2026

    Can we create separate thread, maybe this one, where all competitors for the 'most prolific poster' competition can post away to their hearts content and the rest of us can carry on as usual. :)

    Little on the outside, large on range

    Range was what I wanted, that depends on more than battery size alone. The Kia's and Hyundai's are efficient compared to many others. My present Kona has a 64kWh usable and easily achieves 300 miles in not cold weather. Many manufacturer's WLTP figures claim to get 5m/kWh or close for their...
