Take care.. My AF returned a few days ago, spanner in works for getting fitter.. Think I, ll buy a Boxster to commiserate.. My fitness tracker aged me 12 years in 3 days and now thinks I never sleep.

You, ve got a flap on today Flecc, has your freezer switched off during night or something. . Calm down dear, its no good for blood pressure.

Take Brexit thread with you.

You make valid points but whatever law is there will always be those taking advantage. The pedelec laws are not complicated at all. Folk make them so to justify a blatant disregard for following them. Your argument around where to legislate is pedantics. If controller were limited folk could...

Like they sorted PPE no doubt.

My impression of situation is he can't possibly make it legal. The motor can not be capable of 250w or greater continously. No matter what you supply it with or by it is in itself capable of well over that. It's a bit like the 125cc law. Even if you restricted a 250 to under 11kw its still a...

Porsche already have a factory in Brazil making the stuff.. Ready to up production if needed. Do think they have a point though. The current (proposed) legislation effectively kills off any ICE. We don't know the technology that might arise. On the other hand seems a shame to have a factory...

I think houses present different problems to barges. I, ve read before about issue you mention. Problem with house is you must try and stop convection currents between layers but still let air circulate to remove damp from brick work (essentially porous) Metal boats conduct heat straight through...

I lived on a narrow boats for 10 years or so. . Basically a skip sat in water. First boat was insulated... Sort of.. Polystyrene, rock wool beneath wooden panelling, under floor etc, etx. It was cold, damp and miserable in winter. Hot and still damp in summer. Next one was spray foam insulated...

If he's spray foam insulated the skip, insulated upper sections and uses double glazed window don't think it will be too bad, if he's done none of those it will be too hot summer, damp (from condensation) and freezing cold rest of year. Spray foam insulation is incredible for barges.

I had to use extractor on both sides to get crank arms off. Luckily had one that fits..

Yep, agreed. Most, if not all, car electrics connectors are same nowadays. Usually some kind of O ring seal and click /wedge type lock mechanism. Small screw driver, pincer pliers and bit of care will nearly always work. Pulling on wires not a good idea with any.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-bristol-64901247 Perhaps an unseen consequence. Sorts itself out in end, EVs generally can't tow caravans but the statics?? Mobile generators on back of pick ups...?? There's a fortune to be made. Couple of these in boot...

Not sure about your bike but I removed Yamaha motor from Haibike,(crank drive) and stripped it down partially to send bits for reconditioning. (performance line bearings) All electrics simply unplugged, fairly straightforward. You will be fine with it.

I, d guess so, but worth checking all same. Costs nothing and only 10 mins or so.

Agreed on that. I can't find a single report substantiating FT.?? Very odd. All others are reports, conjecture and opinions.

But those decisions were made in the light of an impending ban, they go early to get a head start on the competition. If the ban changes, is delayed, cancelled their goals may not change but how they get there could. I think you, ll find current thinking is A) To reword ban from banning ICE to...

I don't think there is any desire anywhere to do a U turn with regards electrification, just a realisation that forcing it with legislation is both not the best way to achieve it and very damaging in other areas if correct planning isn't in place. Attempting to mitigate the obvious damage to...

Think you might be oversimplifying and downplaying situation somewhat flecc. https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/opinion/why-the-2035-combustion-engine-ban-is-the-wrong-way-to-go/ There are far more countries and arguments to delay/postpone/cancel ban than you suggest. There are many...
