**** on the pipe to help it defrost quicker

You are over thinking things massively, everything used to have brushes and people managed fine. The important thing for you to decide is which brand your buying into so you can use the same batteries across everything so maybe check all the tools your thinking of are available from the same...

That's true but over time the fault may also show itself in another way, I'm with you Harry in fix the original issue but I can understand why people look for a solution to allow life to move on until they revisit things

Only other thought is do you have a manual way into the boot, if your isolator fails in the battery disconnected position how are you getting back in to remove it?

I'd give it a go, amazon's return policy is pretty good so if the cca killed it you'd likely still be able to return it, I'd also believe someone's real life experience over chat gpt. Having said all that I'd have to get to the bottom of the cause it would drive me mad otherwise.

Evening all, I know there's a few pro mechanics on here so hopefully you can answer a quick question I've got re. cleaning gasket surfaces. I was always taught that when cleaning up gasket faces only to use a sharp blade in a scraper or scotch brite pads to clean the metal faces of an engine...

Just to tie this up for anyone looking in the future, All the old sand/cement plaster chipped off. 50mm celotex stuck with low expanding foam. Stud wall built from 3x2 laid so the 2" formed the depth, 50mm celotex infill with all gaps foamed. I then added 15mm thick lats to the studs...

Tell the council to jog on and issue enforcement proceedings if they wish, it's very unlikely they will for 15cm, if they do then you've upto the day of the court appearance to comply with the enforcement notice.
