I agree Dave, I've been in business for 40 years and understand the the price that UK dealers have to charge, but if I can get the same tech for 2/3rd the price then I will go for it, however you have to bare the sticky end if as you say a warranty claim looms. But in my last case I disliked...

To be fair to the Chinese sellers, if they hold their side of the bargain you can not get them anywhere near the price in the UK, even though the UK ones are also probably produced in China or certainly the far east. 😉. Phil

Thanks lads, I'll defo give them a go, perhaps a little soldering (Plumbing) flux might assist the solder flow? 🤔Phil

Just hoping someone had used these particular type, I suppose the amount of money is not excessive so even if they were crap at least I could give them a go. I only want them for just incase times so I think I'll try em out 😄. Phil

Has anyone on here tried these but joint connectors, and if so what's your considered opinion. Phil https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/274101913500

I've now bought another android Radio/Nav from Icebox on ebay, it maybe £100 pounds more than the Chinese firm, but at least they are in the UK run by Liverpudlians, and very helpful and informative with a great following and feedback, and if anything does happen to go wrong they have a business...

Pleased to say that PayPal came up trumps this morning and went in my favour returning the complete amount after only 2 days review, obviously have had similar trouble with this company/Person in the past, as no evidential correspondence was asked for 👍. Phil

Thanks Patt, makes me feel very humble but pleased to think I've helped others along the way, it's not often that you are aware that others appreciate your input, but now you are amongst those that can say " Been there done that and still wearing the "T" shirt. 😁. Phil

Yes I've never had many problems, on occasions I've had a refund because the product was not available. However in this particular case I paid for what they called premium delivery to be processed in 1-5 days on the fifth day I get an email from them saying the £55 I paid for the shipping was...

As you may have noticed I have had a few run ins with those on this site who are technophobes, but in reality I am all for modern tech so long as it is of real use to me, recently I ordered from one of the Chinese sites an Android 7" double din sat nav radio to put into my van in place of my all...

I'm actually English, but I've been living in this valley of their fathers for 30 years and have to say I've enjoyed most of those 30 years, 😄 .Phil

Make the road block police going into Wales worry a bit, English invaders on our boarder, 🤣🤣. Phil. P.s. But it seems that you English are going to be allowed over our boarders soon, looks like our first minister has finally smelt the Rose's, 😅😅

Well dont forget to dig the post holes at least one 1/4 the depth of the post height before concrete is applied, good luck with the project though, 😅😅😅.Phil P.s. You must be part of the 1% then Squirrel.

Your not aspiring to be an agent for Victron by any chance Dave, because then I could understand your obsession with the latest victron application and its potential profit indications. 😄 Phil

The majority of tanks if not all of them are produced in Poland, I very much doubt that you can get spare parts such as you require in the UK, but I would hazard a guess that if you contact the producers in Poland they would be more than happy to accommodate you. The main problem I feel is...

Bravo for him Dave, as I said if its necessary then it's not a gimmick, for 99% of us on here it's a gimmick 🥱. Phil

Brilliant idea, 👏👏

Yes it's the same for Ali Express, I was considering buying a Double din Radio/Nav from Ali for a Ducato for £297 but when I added import duty and Vat it made the risk of buying direct from China not worth it. Phil

If you demand more from an alternator than it is designed to make, one of two things will happen 1) The battery will get more and more discharged to the point that 2) The alternator will burn out attempting to supply the necessary ampage to keep the battery at nominal charge and at the same time...

It's not the speed that counts Nabsim, it's the feel of the thumping long stroke 4stroke be it single or twin that was the master of the early British bikes. 😜. Phil P.s. And the constant drop of oil from various areas on the engines, it was all part of the knowledge
