Mk1 digit for solar charging for me as being retired I’m at home or out in the car. Looked at batteries and automatic charging but the saving would take about 15 years to cover the costs. Nothing has that long a warranty so would have to factor in the repair/replacement costs.

My DNO had to come out because there was no rating on the fuse carrier or one visible on the fuse itself. Their engineer couldn’t find a rating either but had decided to replace the whole terminal and set up an earth from the supply so I could come off the earth rod.

It may depend on your DNO but it should be 80A on an exclusive supply. It's not unusual for a sparks to pull the fuse carrier to carry out work on consumer units/meters safely. In principal it is hardly a huge leap to replace the cartridge but ONLY the DNO can say the upstream service is good...

Tried it again using my Mac, much the same result. The transfer to the key is reported as succesful but very little storage space is used. Then in the car the update is invalid. The Nav info screen show a version 9.12.2.225929 with a date of June 2020, the map list shows the UK map is 2019.Q4

Both 16MB, one was USB3 the other USB2. Although the NaviExtras reports the files transferred OK there is only 46MB used?

Just attempted to do the upgrade. Fingerprint process appears to work but the download is over quite quick, admittedly on a 300Mb connection. Plug into the car and it returns invalid files. Tried it with 2 different memory sticks and formatted as Fat and exFat, all with the same result. Any...

Somebody must have told them.... "This is the shocking moment a car owner claims that his 'rogue' hybrid Jaguar car took on a mind of its own and damaged three high-end cars in a scene out of a demolition derby."

I built a folder and filled it with individual tracks up to the capacity of the intended USB stick ( I have 30,000 to choose from). Sorted the folder by track name to randomise the artists then selected them at 255 tracks at a time and transferred them into subfolders, 10 folders and copied them...

I did carry on and it allowed me to renew my tax as normal. I have verified that my tax renewal date is now 1st March 2025 I am not sure why it couldn't wait until March 2025 but I would probably forget by then, now the renewal is set for March that will carry on (unless I get a new car :cool:)

I would be happy at just over £1 a litre

If the gross train weight is the same as the gross vehicle weight you can't tow ( no "spare" kgs ) I think there was a tow bar from one manufacturer but only to be used for cycle carriers (might have been Brink?)

My local bodyshop is happy with them but they had heard of some places refusing EVs if welding is required. It could be they are scared of blowing something rather than the actual voltages involved.

Clear everything that doesn't belong in it including removing the child seats. That way when they clean (which they do) it nothing is in the way for the job to be done right. If I had one in that look like a skip I would leave it in that state. I particularly wouldn't leave change in the, unfair...

I only save about 4 months worth but still worth doing As a matter who do people think is the "the government" often referred to? The vast majority are just civil servants and penpushers who interpret the fine minutia of the regulations drawn up by other civil servants on the basis of...

Mine is 16 years old and still works, on the original 500GB HDD. Win some lose some. I suspect "Humax" don't make anything.
