Check out my photos recently attached John I've added some photos of the 3 pin lead that comes with the car There is also a fatter lead for when charging off a proper wall box

Thanks for all the replies and input The car manual is pretty light on useful information but i've attached a bunch of photos of the actual charger supplied with the car for use when charging via a 3 pin socket There's plenty of numbers and other stuff mentioned that may be of interest and make...

thanks obnd for the reply (y) So..... one of these.... https://www.screwfix.com/p/british-general-ip66-13a-2-gang-dp-weatherproof-outdoor-switched-socket/67928 to one of these.... https://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-logic-plus-13a-switched-fused-spur-flex-outlet-white/13479 joined with a bit of 2.5mm...

flameport - thanks for the advice and taking the time to reply, much appreciated ! So from what i have described above, would that type of solution only be suitable for an outside socket (except for the cable type mentioned), and to be used for a lawnmower, vacuum etc ? (ie. short usage)...

I've recently taken delivery of a new car which is a PHEV hybrid I've charged it a couple of times from empty from a 3 pin plug and it has taken 5 hours which is an acceptable time for us, albeit having to use an extension lead dangled through the letter box which is a pain :) I don't want the...

Can anyone confirm what IP rating i should be looking at for the following please : 1 : For some downlighters in my garage overhang. Obviously, it is outside, so i guess could be exposed to possible condensation, but it wont have any chance of exposure to rain The overhang is single storey so...

i meant to ask denso, what's your thought on the percentage compaction ? will 100mm compact to 50mm or is that optimistic ?

awesome, thanks again denso !

Bouy / Denso / Blup - cheers guys, much appreciated ! All coming in just over 3t (y)

thanks for the quick reply denso ! (y) do you use a particular online calculator or if not, can you educate me with your maths please ? my head was telling me get 2 bags first, rake it around and if i still needed more, to then order that separately as its free delivery

Hi there, Can anyone confirm how much MOT hardcore i would need please for the following dimension on my driveway : 7m x 4.5m I need a compacted/finished depth of 50mm I already have a solid hardcore base and this layer is simply bring the overall level up sufficiently to then gravel straight...

apologies Mikey, just went out and measured for the photos ! there is a slight bump on the drive (its not a nice graduated slope) hence i would rather not add more hardcore and whacker down as it will take the overall drive level up further but i will reconsider it regarding the manhole, do you...

Here you go Mikey......he used more like 120mm instead of 40mm !

thanks for the reply mikey So : nope, not to be driven on....purely stepping stones to walk on The only think going on top of the hardcore will be the gravel/chippings I know its likely not how a company would deploy a proper gravel drive (dig out, hardcore, blinding sand, membranes etc...

So a builder i engaged has laid some natural stone slabs on my drive as per my request for some stepping stones Drive has a good solid 4" of hardcore Now a breakdown of communications (well i say that...he didn't ask me but i most definitely didn't ask for this and didn’t expect to have to...

i plan to re-lay them on a low 1" mortar bed. Can anyone confirm what sort of ratio mix i should be looking to use please (building/sharp/cement) as i know this is highly debated ? Many thanks

thanks for the reply Lower what i forgot to mention was that they have been down about 3 weeks unfortunately as i was away immediately afterwards on vacation, trying to console myself as to the cock up that has happened :cry:

Jeds - thanks again We plan to use safety glass regardless so no problem there You say within 300mm of a door that it MUST be safety glass anyway so i'm curious in my situation, why that would be needed considering that the door is 90 degrees to the left of my proposed window and the risk...

Jeds - thanks for reply ! For info and a little more context, the window i am hoping to fit is in place of the radiator as shown in my photos I plan to fit a smaller radiator at the bottom with a window above so based on any regs, the height and width of the window can be whatever is allowed...
