It's an 8 year old clapped out diesel banger which someone mistakenly believes is worth 28 grand. It has an automatic transmission-o-failure, and most of the miles on it were done in it's first few years of existence. In the last 3 years it's done 3600 miles total. It's either been...

That 'important bit' refers to DNO metering as used at distribution points and the like. Entirely unrelated to metering at end user premises, which is not owned by or operated by any DNO. They certainly have, but mewling about such things long after the event will achieve nothing. Records of...

It probably was, before privatisation. In the days when electricity supplies, metering and infrastructure were all done by the Electricity Board and that was that. However all of that has changed, so wiring in shared areas of flats and the like is now NOT anything to do with the DNO even if...

There are two connections, one of them line the other neutral. Which is what doesn't matter. Yes.

Not stated but mine is about once a month or so. Not likely to make much difference as long as it's done sometimes. It does waste electricity so not something that you would want to do often. No. Left over partial truths from ancient NiCad batteries where frequent partial recharging did...

People might, but in busy areas there are often dozens of different networks. Very few people will look at them all. Most will just look for what appears to be the name of the shop or whatever and connect to it. It certainly should. DNS requests should come from the VPN endpoint, same as all...

No, that entire area should be restricted access.

It isn't, if you wanted that version of Octopus Go you will need a compatible EVSE. Or just use the standard Octopus Go which works with anything, but is slightly more expensive. For NMC cells: keep between 20% and 80% most of the time If it gets down below 20%, recharge as soon as possible to...

It mostlly doesnt. Just an explanation of how all the totally wrong diagrams were created. All that really matters is that the heater is more than 600mm from the edge of the bath or shower.

What is the wall made of? If it's plasterboard then it's trivial to open up a hole and relocate the pipes to any distances you want. Bending pipes that are already in the wall is not recommended.

No chance of any new diesel vehicle lasting 10 years. All the pollution reduction crap stuck in them now makes them complex and unreliable. Any recent diesel is a bust unless you are driving long distances regularly, which means mostly motorway driving - and if doing high mileage they still...

That is true and is a good thing - however that has limitations. If a device has been connected to a WiFI network that someone has set up to extract information, then the encryption is only between your device and that network. Dodgy person with laptop in the corner and you inadvertently...

Just assume that all public access wifi is dodgy, and use a VPN 100% of the time. The establishment itself isn't the primary risk - if they were operating some dubious network it would be found out fairly quickly. Much more likely is someone sitting in the corner or outside in a vehicle using a...

You may want one now, but you certainly won't want it after it's been installed. It will require constant adjustment to work properly some of the time, the usual modes are the extractor never working, or remaining on permanently. Even if it could be made to work, humidity is a poor choice, as...

Ideal Industries 45-120-341 https://cpc.farnell.com/ideal/45-120-341/metric-wire-stripper-0-75-6-0/dp/TL00610 There are cheapo versions of similar style https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Electrical-Wire-Strippers---150mm/p/500514 which will work but will wear out rather quickly. Probably not a...

If it's like most of them which has a single flexi hose for the hot air, then you are wasting your time. It's continually sucking in more hot air while removing the air it has just cooled. A proper design would have 2 hoses to the outside, one for inlet and one for outlet, and the room air...

The battery is destroyed. Buy a new one. Both because it was discharged far too much, and the fact it needed charging with some external charging affair in the first place.

Fire is probably the least likely problem.

It really isn't. No one will be paid for exporting from some plug in affair, not least because the output of such things will be so low as to be meaningless. Two thirds of domestic properties already have a smart meter.
