Thanks for all replies I never knew I had so many replies! @JohnD it's a serious thread! The car is a Tesla Model 3 I'll try and take a pic to show you all in the daytime @cdbe thanks for digging up my old posts ❤ Can you make the font bigger, I don't think everyone was able to read

Well spotted old chap. Though you didn't read what I said entirely: "All Chinese brands. Don't want to buy Chinese off amazon. (Happy to buy Chinese from reputable place like Screwfix though)." Just adding clarification: happy to buy well known brands like TP Link (if they had a standalone...

@Taylortwocities in the house I think we've got all the combinations mentioned. Apart from Amazon basics, I can't find any smart light switches that are good brands. EDIT Tapo = tplink? I'm put off by the need to have batteries On ebay, I've just seen a few super cheap options. I'm...

I want to buy smart light switches for the home. There's a zillion available on amazon. All Chinese brands. Don't want to buy Chinese off amazon. (Happy to buy Chinese from reputable place like Screwfix though). Amazon Basics have one. But not in stock. Anyone have anything to recommend...

I went out and tried to take a photo. I couldn't figure out how to turn on the flash! See pic below, hoping this shows. I added the measurement and line to show problem. I bought this item to try and screw in a screw: It's neeeearly just right. But I still need a few mm more. Screw bits...

I need to screw my number plate in. I have a really small space. Impossible to get any screwdriver in - the space must be 15mm. I purchased a ratchet wrench, that is almost the right size - but just 2mm too much. Or maybe I need more space to allow for the screw head. So... I thought... if I...

Double glazed I just thought condensation is just one of those things that happens? The windows are old, say 16+ years old

That looks pretty cool :) I have about 4 or 5 devices needing charging - say 3 phones and 2 power banks. The amount of wires make it a big massive mess. You guys are so skeptical! Fire rating... I never gave it any thought. It's just mobile phone cables. The box is 16cm x 5cm x 4cm. It's only...

When the weather gets cold, we get condensation on most of the windows. New windows: get nothing (or relatively little), only old ones.

We've got the 500ml disposable dehumidifiers on all windows. Still get loads of water on windows. Just wondering, is it worth investing in a windows vacuum? I've seen in Lidl and Aldi loads. Always thought of buying, but never got round to. Despite the disposable dehumidifiers filling up...

Well the drill must have been 8mm I guess... I had to nudge around while drilling to make the hole bigger. That's why it looks a big mess in the holes

No, the wooden drill bit is one of these: I'm guessing this is what caused the plastic to get mangled up as shown in my original pic and why I didn't get a cleaner hole. I'm trying to make a cable tidy box for mobile phones. I want to just add something in the middle from charger to phone so I...

Thanks guys Loooads of different ideas to try I love that metal hole punch I'm going to try the ply wood with holes - that will be worth a try

Thanks for the replies guys. Hot rod I would consider something similar like a soldering iron. But would prefer drilling The drill I uses was a wooden drill bit. If I used another type, maybe would be better? Adding wood sounds perfect - but then how do I do the same job again 100 times? Any...

No idea what that is I looked up chamfered profile on google and still not sure what this is Let me know and I'll try and answer Thanks
