Surfex HD... Use it for everything nearly cleaning wise :thumb3:

There are a lot of incentives going EV. My employer is introducing either a tesla/polestar tax incentive deal. They need to sort out somehow the payment for "fuel" for business usage, when charging at home, as the current "wet fuel" method with business mileage tax reclaim is very good.

It would be different if all MOT tests were undertaken by the DVLA themselves!

Or Rough Rider, that was the dilemma of many kids in 1980!

Wash and an oil change, good to go!

Reminds me of the time my Grandma had a Kings Charles Spanial. Couldn't find 'Oliver' when my grandparents were leaving after visiting, only to find him ******* Paddington Bear in my sisters bedroom. 40 years later everytime I see Paddington Bear....

Fronius GEN24 Plus The above a hybrid so batteries can be added later. Discovered today a smaller 'slave' Fronius inverter is also part of the inverter cost package due to the size of the system.

Or some copper nails.

Our garage is under the house. Has many advantages, security, access, dry and warm. Bit of a concern, car goes up, the whole house goes up. Don't think we will ever park an EV in our 'house'.

My old Lancia Y10 Turbo was non interference when the belt snapped! I think due to the low compression ration/high boost combo back in the 80's. I too suspect the chance of non interference is slim unfortunately.

Oh dear not good :(

Had quote for new roof today. Incl. Vat. £11k for dark grey concrete tiles £13k for repro stone tiles £15k+ for brazilian slate. Never having repro stone tiles again so that's out. House down the road has the Brazilian slate, looks stunning. However, you can't see our roof! From our drive...
