    Mini Cooper Kit

    Are there any OEM part numbers on the underside of the parts? Really you need to identify if it’s for a R53,F56 series etc.

    Sat dish - RF reflective coating

    yep, blow over it with a rattle can, the pre/post performance delta will be unnoticeable to the user. In real terms at Ku band (Commercial satellite tv) you may see a drop of 0.2db. Rain fade will affect the signal more than this

    Sat dish - RF reflective coating

    My old company manufactures satellite dishes from carbon fibre. We would spray the dish with electrodag (to improve rf performance) then add a final coat over the top in whatever RAL code the customer wanted.

    sandstone walls and mounting satellite dish

    Have you thought about using Sky Stream and/or Sky Glass to reeive Sky these days, then you wont need a dish at all.

    Megaflo Combination Valve Dripping

    Open all of the hot taps and showers (set to hot) you have, If you have isolated it the water will stop after a while, if not it will run hot then transition to cold as the cold enters the cylinder to replace the hot draining out. It can take a long time for the hot to stop if you are just...

    Stop/Start Technology

    I have a Mini Cooper and have used Bimmercode to remember the last setting used for Auto Stop/Start. Then on the selector i keep it turned off. If i ever want to re-enable it (cant think why) i can do so. On the Mini it has a tendency to re-start the engine after sitting off for anything >1...

    Ring Doorbell Alternative

    AC input 242v AC output at 24v tapping: 28.5v This is with the C31 doorbell connected (i.e. under load)

    Ring Doorbell Alternative

    Are you measuring the output with the terminals not under load? i.e. with no doorbell connected? All I can comment really is that I have had my C31 on the 24v tappings since early Jan and it is all working fine, no issues or over voltage reported on the app (not sure it does this though). Away...

    Ring Doorbell Alternative

    What’s the issue with having the SD card in the doorbell? I guess you are worried about theft. Personally I prefer it to record to itself rather than relying on a WiFi connection always being active. As for the transformer, I think the wording in their specs is crap. I have a BG 8-24V AC 8VA...
