    A strange pricing scheme for LEDs ...

    Same here, I've had 8 cheap g4 style led main and reading lights for 7 years and not had to replace any of them also strip under locker leds, I changed to the type of leds Dave is using in my previous van 16 years ago and they lasted at least 6 years and were still working when I sold the van...

    I found this very interesting. Came across this by accident, nothing to do with Craig's links I was looking at welding aluminium utube vids and this was one of the follow on links. Phil

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    Yes I did say that I couldn't say about Lavaner, but unfortunately the experience I had has put me off Ali Express for the foreseeable future, it must be really upsetting for genuine traders using Ali Express but the few are spoiling it for the many and there does not seem to be a controlling...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    Nothing to do with Lavaner other than they use Ali Express, last year I decided to go for one of these Chinese Android GPS map/radios and went for the Ducato direct fit replacement, the cheapest I could find was on Ali Express can not remember the company now but I ordered one from them and put...

    Buzzer indications

    Very few I think, certainly my Yamaga 900 Diversion didn't, but as I said it had aftermarket security which included a buzzer for the indicators, have to say that I've been to a few bike shows and never been given the sales pitch by any maker about indicators self cancelling. Phil

    Mobile CCTV

    In my experience from years ago ( In the mid 80's) I was the area sales manager for a security company called ATI Industries, these alarms that we sold were very expensive at the time and were only sold on a "We fit it principle". But those in the trade, were well aware that all that was really...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    I hope so too Nabsim, however most of the problems reported are units not firing up and the doom sayers who prophesise death by freezing if you use the cheap Chinese equivalent to the European. But let's face it when did we last get temperatures below -40 in the UK. Plus the fact that for £78 my...

    Chinese Diesel heaters

    Here is the one that I ought Pudsey but the link is now not available? So had to take a screen shot of the original order, the one I had now seems to have increased in price to £98.89. I've noticed a similar situation on Amazon just lately where you purchase something quite cheap and when...

    Buzzer indications

    Final update the 250 Herald are led indicators ( Had it 5 years and didn't know up until now 😑) so is the wife's 50cc scooter so had to do same as Herald two connected in parallel with o/s & n/s indicators. The Bonniville and Dealim both have filament bulbs so was able to put them across the...

    Buzzer indications

    Well successful venture, had to use two o/s & n/s front indicators inside the head lamp unit, tried the relay didn't work, tried pos relay to neg battery and worked while indicating but still carried on buzzing or rather clicking when indicators were cancelled so went for the two buzzer in...

    Buzzer indications

    Your right of course, I've been riding for 50years but still on occasions I forget to cancel the indicators and during a bright day the tell tale light is almost useless on most bikes. The buzzers have arrived and tested on a 12volt battery, loud is how I'd describe them so tomorrow after my...

    I have 4 motorcycles, well 3 actually one of them is my wife's 50cc Modena scooter how she rides it I really don't know as it does tops 35mph with a folllowing wind. But she can ride it without a CBT on her car licence 😄 I hate riding it as on straighter roads car drivers are constantly trying...

    Travelling the continent

    To be fair to EE and o2 we've never had much trouble with dropping out certainly nothing like as happens in the UK, as a matter of interest what provider do you use. The only time we have used a local sim was our first trip to Poland about 11 years ago on the advice of a Polish friend but found...

    Travelling the continent

    That's my point, that on the continent 3 & 4G signals are strong in nearly all parts or at least EE and o2 are strong, the necessity to use a public WiFi is almost not required but its there if needed, the majority not needing passwords. You also do not need to enter your address or email before...

    Just had a Google melt down Phil, it would seem that it would not be viable in the UK financially, plus the size of the dish has to be larger than my Camos sat dish so would require another dish to carry round. 🙁. 🥵 It's 42c on my decking under the pergola
