THIS week I bought (1 Viewer)

Why pay for an RCD when plugging it in to an RCBO protected socket. Where do you get your 12 metres from that's nonsense

Not my nonsense!

Table 15.4 on page 98 of the 4th edition of the IET Code of Practice for in service inspection and testing of electrical equipment quotes max lengths for extension leads.

In any non-domestic context, the issue is that users without your technical knowledge could use the lead without the required additional protection, putting themselves and others at risk under fault conditions.

 

[Techno]

Better not buy this one then

I suspect your quotes are recommendations rather than mandatory

 

[Techno]

Why do you need such a long one Andy?

To reach the car with the vac.
Actually I don't need it all but better looking at it than for it. Not a good idea to stretch it

The 25metre was over £10 more for 5 metres less.

You are so right - that is truly scary! But apparently not illegal to sell or use in your own home....

Three year Fiat camper warranty making five years now with uk and European breakdown. Thought it was a bargain.

My dealer didn't mention I could get extra 3 year warranty and what with everything to learn on my van it didn't enter my head, to late now my motorhome was registered end of September last year -

Are you gonna have to unroll it all to use it (ie is the vac over 5 amps)? ... if so you might regret having such a long one!

5 amp is fully wound. If I could use it fully wound I wouldn't need it at all

I bought this from CPC Farnell yesterday online for under £22 30metres
Delivered today by UPS free
Bargain!View attachment 297326

Tried one of these kits years back, didnt work.

If the system has had lost all its gas the receiver dryer may need replacing thesystem will also need the air sucking out by vacuum before refilling.

If you still have some gas pressure in it may work for a short time but once again yoiu should have the old gas removed and the system vacuumed.

I had a good guy who did my van, he found the small valve under the high pressure cap had been leaking slightly and i was down to 150gr of the 550 that should have been there. Cost me £60 all in.

ATS £29.99 for MOT

Nearest ATS too far away to make it worth while .. Would cost more if fuel than I would save

I didn't say fully wound I said unwind all of it, ie not sure how 'safe' it is to use part-wound on anything over 5 amp ... so would you need to unwind it all to use it, hence the question is your vac over 5amp?

 

[Techno]

Part wound will of course be proportional and between 5 and 13 and it does have a thermal cut out

Fancied a camera to take out every now and again when I go open water swimming. Didn’t want an expensive one and the Crosstour Action Camera got great reviews from other swimmers and it was less than £40 on Amazon.

Amazingly came with a gazillion different attachments to attach it to handle bars, tripods, helmets etc, plus a remote control and a waterproof case (no SD card). If I sent a review in I also would receive another couple of attachments.

Took it out for a swim with me last night, really easy to use and get the photos/videos off it without any help from mrjenben who is normally tech support.

I am impressed to be honest and the waterproof case worked !

You know what is sad ?
I have the posh one.. loads of bits and bobs ( In fact the case I carry it all in is huge ! )... then I realised I do not do anything that anyone else would be vaguely interested in, or that I do not do anything exciting enough to video !

New gas filter
Replacement Fiamma side-mounted awning clips - only needed one but had to buy the full kit!

Small, compact Cadac to replace our huge and heavy free standing one.

Folds flat, smaller girl plates and comes in a bag. Just right for two of us.
