They don't make this any more. Next, you will be saying: why not get a new car? Even if it is available, it makes sense to you to buy a £300 part for a car the insurance will write off for £500? According to internet experts around here, pattern parts are fine for the insurance. Anyway, I...

I just received a very reasonably priced china fuel filler neck for micra k12 from an ebay start up. The interior bits are not same as the original unit. So, can anyone tell me if this is OK for use? I think most of the sellers are selling this exact same thing. On the original unit, the fill...

Haven't got round to it yet. But, continuing it on another thread.

My stuff work. This was why I said it was down to the importer. My imports were all great over the years, except a recent £50 loss from a 1.97TB SSD. I didn't want to risk them recovering my personal data. So, I didn't bother to return that for repair. The loss covered all the free stuff they...

That says something about the importer, doesn't it?

I didn't ask why people buy. I am asking why people sell. Nothing wrong with stuff from china. Pretty sure the compliant stuff are from china.

Using illegal container would invalidate.

I was trying to save £2 on an unmarked one, but splashed out for a marked one. It doesn't matter if it leaked, I am sure I can find a way to fix it with a tpu print. I just don't need any hassle with the regulation bull ox, what with house insurance invalidation etc.

Storage is allowed for a certain limit. The regulations says the can has to be marked as flammable. If they are selling unmarked ones, that seems to suggest marking isn't a legal requirement. But google says different: Legal Labelling Requirements To be legal, a portable petrol container must...

I am getting a petrol can and seeing plenty for sale that have no labels on them. I think it's a requirement for labelling/marking. Can anyone explain why non-compliant cans are allowed to be sold?

You risk catching fire though. I would never operate electrical devices remotely.

Just go get yourself some skiing long johns from decathlon and be done with it.

I use radiator in unheated room. So 50W won't do it. Being directly above 500W works OK with clothing most of the time. For weather at -5C, an 800W would be needed.

Higher capacity is better because you can turn it down. Whereas maxing out on low power leaves you fewer options. I find the little radiator quite handy. It's small enough to not get in the way, and it produces enough heat majority of the time. With the wear parts being cheap and standard, the...
