I just thought it used the 12v permanent feed because if my caravan is unplugged with the car locked, the car alarm goes off

Just trying to establish how my car knows to disable the parking sensors and rear fog lights when the caravan is attached. No idea what happens with a small trailer or toy rack because i have never tried. I thought ESC was a mandatory thing since 2014 in the EU. I think the marketing about needing dedicated wiring for it to work with the caravan attached is sales spin, it should work regardless. The 12v will not reduce the temp of the fridge but it should keep it cool if pre-cooled unless you keep opening the door.

Does your trailer have a fridge?

Pin 9 and pin 10 ? Maybe,

An additional 13k per quarter would not be an unreasonable guesstimate. Or the article could have seen those figures and rounded it up?

From a GPS forum,

Good idea

100 acre is reported to produce 0.02gw and the Government suggest 20gw is possible, that appears to work out to 100,000 acres which is 75,600 football pitches, so i imagine we will see a lot more around the Country

It is interesting how the story says "How the UK generates electricity" a subtle twist or spin in the headings. We import from Denmark for some wind "A quarterly record was also set for offshore wind generation in the last three months of 2023, which was “largely driven by the 0.8 GW in new capacity,” "Construction on Viking Link, National Grid’s sixth interconnector, commenced in 2019, involving more than four million working hours. Initially operating at 800MW capacity, it will gradually scale up to its full 1.4GW potential over the coming months." https://www.energylivenews.com/2024/01/02/national-grid-activates-worlds-longest-land-and-subsea-interconnector/ Nuclear also comes from France It is fantastic to be able to have renewable energy but for the story to claim that we generate it ourselves in the bits people will quote is mis-leading. The UK uses more energy from renewables than fossil fuel "National Grid is already looking ahead, having announced joint plans with TenneT for a new 1.8GW interconnector named LionLink between the UK and The Netherlands. This second link between the countries is anticipated to be operational in the early 2030s."

Is one side not Clockwise and the other anti-clockwise?

Glasgow's lez zone is minuscule compared to London's and residents within that zone where given 2 years to comply

Whilst i don't have a problem with ulez zones in principal, people outside of an ulez zone have a choice whether to continue giving the businesses in them their custom and if they do wish to enter they could use public transport. But i don't think it reasonable to expect every existing resident in the zone to be able to instantly comply so vehicles registered to an address within the zone at the time of implementation should have been exempt. It would have been easy to do with the rules also stating that a subsequent non-compliant car could not be added.

I agree with your logic. Also even bends will make them slightly inaccurate according to some reports. ( i might check this driving round a roundabout 😂 ) if the system only places you to a point within 10metres, as you move you would be sort of jumping about a bit and it needs more than one satellite to find your position. So cannot be 100%. I rely on my speedometer and try to not go more than 10% above the speed limit.

The ulez permission is based on Nox not co2 The nox level for diesel and petrol are the same at 0.08g/km Euro 4 met it for petrol Euro 6 reached it for diesel Euro 5 diesel limit was 0.18g/km

The Nissan xtrail does not use the engine to move the car on that model.

On a sort of related note, Today i was behind a Brand new Nissan xtrail Eforce and Epower all-wheel drive, the dual-motor e4orce version can get returns of up to 43.8mpg. Emissions are increased over the front-wheel drive model, at up to 148g/km with the third row of seats. Stopped at the lights engine stayed running!

for Petrol it's euro 4 which is 2005 Diesel would be euro 6 which is sept 2015 by the time most complied for registration time

I don't know, who has said a plug is illegal? They cannot be illegal because then they could not be used for "emergency" "temporary" repairs. Best practice for a tyre fitter presented with a puncture is to remove the tyre and inspect it for damage.

The EU appears committed to a smart grid too. https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32019L0944 To deliver on these fronts, smart meters must be equipped with the right functionalities, under the Electricity Directive EU/2019/944. Moreover, national authorities must closely monitor that they get the most out of the sizeable investment of smart meter deployment and that the smart metering systems they install serve the system as a whole and deliver benefits and satisfaction to consumers and businesses alike.

Asda had 165 ev chargers at the beginning of 2023 they now have only 46

A string repair involves repairing a puncture from the outside of the tyre. This is deemed unsafe as the technician will not be able inspect the internal damage of the tyre caused by the puncture and is not an approved British Standard BS AU 159 repair. This British Standard specifies requirements for the repair of diagonal ply and radial ply pneumatic tyres for motorcycles, scooters, cars, commercial and agricultural vehicles for use on the public highway. It specifies inspection procedures, performance criteria, repair materials, and marking requirements, for both tubed and tubeless tyres. The repair of tubes and inflation valves is also covered. This British Standard is not applicable to: a) tyres designed for use on pre-1933 vehicles, as their design and construction can be unique and outside the range of tyres in current use; b) T-type temporary use spare tyres; c) temporary seals, i.e. externally inserted plugs, intended to allow the vehicle to be driven for a limited period, until a permanent repair can be effected; d) use of liquid sealants introduced into tubed or tubeless tyres to aid the air retention property (see Clause 9); e) tyres containing sealant gel; and f) specialist repairs carried out by the original tyre manufacturer.

There will be EU regulations that we are following

If only there was a way to store the excess until it was needed. The energy companies and government will encourage the public to invest in Batteries because it's too expensive for the energy companies to do it without hitting profits and shareholder payments
