Oh right... I wish I was at leisure to pop em in the post. Need the car daily. I'll get it in for a service. It's due one anyway.

did that in our M3 in May 2023 (and back). DM me if you want any details. Driving to south of France this December for a couple of weeks near Nice. Will be taking the train across the Channel as ferries can be a bit iffy that time of year.

that's northeast Scotland, not England in case anyone else in my neck of the woods gets excited ... and then disappointed ... at that recommendation 😊

Thanks Buddha, but those of us who haven't achieved perfection still get stressed waking up to zero charge when we're off to work, a hospital appointment, the airport, etc ... :rolleyes:

I might kick them somewhere too with all the hassle I've had... yeesh

When I go to sign out of app, it tells me I'll lose all settings and stored data. That sounds scary. Can you confirm they'll be restored when i log back in? What tariff pays 15p export? I thought IO was somewhere around 5p.

Well I and the wife retired from full time work at 49 and 48 respectively ostensibly to become respite foster carers. The first two kids through the door were meant to be here for a weekend in 2021. They're still here. We adopted them last year when they were both under the age of 7. Being...

interesting... we're in a conservation area so possible that council don't allow panels on the front roof. We don't work much and if we do it's mostly from home anyway. I'll look into that.
