You'd think installing a meter and solar would be done by people who are more than just 'fitters' and so called 'competent persons'. But increasingly it's thought, anyone with a single brain cell can be 'trained'. But personally like you I want someone who understands more than just how to bolt or clamp, and follow instructions.

Some new tech' though is so complex, that only designers und...

According to some quick research, most causes of solar panel fires are a result of poor installation I.e. cabling and connection faults. We both know the risks with poor electrical installation so a competent installer must be used. When I had the smart meter installed I watched the guy, who seemed to know what he was doing. But, when asked some basic technical questions, it was clear he hadn't...

Yeah that's interesting about all the ev cars catching fire lately. Chinese cars in the news today.

"More than 30 Chinese-made Jaecoo EVs that went up in flames 'had ALL been bought by customers' "

As you say, not very practical fire safety if a racer catches ...

No electric racing here-well not yet anyway
Motorsport Aust. has decided in their wisdom that if any track wants to run electric cars they have to have an imersion pond big enough to drown a car in the event of fire---what a load of bu****it, so you crash, wreck your suspension or whatever and your battery decides to start burning, now where's that pond, oh s*it it's way down there 200metres a...

Yep new inlet/exhaust manifold gasket Willy.

Had a seriously knackered gasket. It was popping then just the same, and I thought that was the cause. But the new gasket has made no difference at all, other than made it quieter in the engine bay and stopped me being gassed by fumes getting into the cabin.

3 branch. Into long pipe with no joints into the single silencer. Been under i...

Bill: Its the No Reserve that will kill you. Put a reserve on it that you feel it should never go below and you are OK. But of course you may get an awakening that you were not expecting.

And FWIW I think that was a fair price for the car.

It's not all that long ago you were playing with your exhaust----are you sure you haven't got a little leak up the front there somewhere.
With the chev ,yeah it used to create a bit of interest. Arrived at a track on the mainland late once and scored the end spot in the pits up against a wire fence. all good but annoying as well because of the millions of questions from the spectators up agai...

Considering what I see and don’t see in the pics it was probably a fair price. Though the seller wasnt likely happy about it. Surprised because MGs tend to do pretty well on BAT. I’ll never out any of my cars up for auction. I’m not willing to take a big hit.

Thanks Willy. I'll double check the timing.

That Chevy must have been a sight to see then. A foot long flame; fantastic.

My Sprite already turns heads with the popping. Flames too would blow their minds. 🤣🤣.

Holy flame Batman.
