That sounds like a Field Marshall. The "official" way of starting was with a cartridge (big bang) but could also be started with a cigarette. Always a bumpy ride with that single cylinder diesel. Dave

My A30 van was green. I bought it for £40 (including 4 x brand new Michelin ZX tyres) from my boss in the mid 1960s. It was cheap to run, I think it was an 803cc engine. I put a lot of miles on it before "trading up" to a Ford 100 E saloon, which wasn't a patch on the van. I think the A30 was...

I passed my driving test in an Austin A30 Van! Dave

I have to confess to reading most, if not all, of the threads on this web site, although many of them are not necessarily of particular interest. One thing does puzzle me though. Although I'm not in the market for a new car I do sympathise with those who are waiting: How do you folk get the...

I've been with Octopus for over a year, my contract ends next month so just renewed. I opt to pay the bill in full every month so I don't build up a credit or debt. Dave

I had the same sort of SMETS1 meter, installed by British Gas. I changed to Octopus and they fitted a new SMETS2 meter, then I was able to go onto Octopus Go, which gives 4 hours of cheap electricity for EV charging. HTH Dave

"The power banks can provide up to 20 miles of range from a half-hour charge (at 7.2kW) which the provider says is sufficient for the average daily commute in the UK. " How many people have the necessary 7.2 kw available? Dave

I am reliably informed that they do. I have a son who is a firefighter. Dave

I remember getting less than that for a MONTH, and that was working for 44 hours a week! Dave

No problems with mine that was fitted in January. It is inside my garage so not open to the elements. Dave

Octopus put in a new SMETS2 meter in place of the SMETS1 that was fitted by British Gas. The trouble is, for some reason, the meter wasn't commissioned before it was fitted so it is still not working. Dave

An charging facilities there? Dave

My phone is android. Never heard of Test Flight. I expect it will get sorted one day. Cheers Dave

Not to worry, it will get sorted one day I suppose. Cheers. Dave

It's on the Android "Play store" Bloggsy. I no longer have an iPhone. Dave

Well it does say "No Octopus Energy account found with the given credentials" and then logs me in to the O E account which is in my name with the same email address and password details. I have tried un-installing then re-installing the app to no avail. I am puzzled. Dave

I have just become a customer of Octopus Energy and I have got the Electric Juice app on my phone. When I try to log in on the app I always get the message "No Octopus Energy account found with the given credentials". I know I have not made an error (done it many times) and if I select...

My card came yesterday but obviously not used it yet. Dave

I had my late wife's Peugeot 107. It was a very small car for a very big chap to get in and out of. As age started to catch up with me I struggled at times getting in and out of the Pug. My ZS EV in comparison is enormous and when I first got in it it took me back to the days I drove a double...
