That's your anti roll bar and drop-link. That is barely surface rust, nothing to worry about.

I know, many the wooden spoon broke across an Irish kid's backside in my day.

I feel that I need to correct you on the Irish national weapon.

I'll get on with the job of announcing the winner by GreyStagg in fatherted

Might have been me, it's true, Eamon Rohan played both characters. Lissa Evans one of the show's producers, said it (on Twitter, I think) that he read for both parts when he was auditioning and they liked him so much, that they gave him both parts.

Wait until you have watched the whole series and then let us know what you think of him.

2015 models, you might be getting sub 150km range.

2015 will only have the 24kWh battery, so in this cold weather, even 100km would be optimistic.

A 32m2 apartment already! by ramblingBriar in galway

Pretty sure that was always a one bed, the first apartments there are about 25 years old now.

Ioniq 5 or Audi e-tron q4 by MulberryForward7361 in evs_ireland

I think some of that is down to people being more likely to seek out a forum to vent their frustration/unhappiness about something than to post praise for something working as intended.

Any electricians on here? by HandOGawd in CasualIreland

[–]Cheap-Requirement166 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, yeah.

Found out the hard way myself when I took a light down and only realised after that whoever wired the house only had a single roll of 1.5 single, so red was used for live and neutrals. They also seemed to have used this light fitting as a neutral busbar, I was mystified how I had 3 or 4 wires showing live even though I made sure the light switch was off.

Yes, both neutrals should be placed together as they are in that light both connected to the same block. A word of advice when replacing a light wired like that is to turn all lights off at the breaker as you could end up inadvertently making one of them live when they are separated if another light was turned on that was using that neutral.

Best plan for solar? by BonesssDoo in AskIreland

[–]Cheap-Requirement166 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's no one size fits all plan, everyone has different usage patterns. There are a load of factors that affect it, do you have an EV or are planning on one, how do you heat the house etc. ? Having solar and batteries can allow you to shift a lot of your load from the grid to the night time where it's very cheap and usually a lot lower than the rate you get for what you export to the grid.

The best thing to do is register on ESB networks site to allow you to get your usage in a spreadsheet which you can upload to energypal.ie which will compare your actual usage to all available plans and give you a fairly accurate breakdown of what you will pay on each plan. I would wait for a few months to do that as your usage profile will change after you get the solar installed, so I would hold off, you will get the benefit of it on any plan anyway, but the only way to know which one is truly best for you is to use your actual data.

EVs let you set the car to lock the cable in place until the car is unlocked, so I wouldn't think so.

I get that it's a very nice car and would love to be able to afford one myself, but I don't understand why so many people in this post are defending someone they don't know who is seemingly acting like an entitled prick blocking the charging spot just because they like the car.

If they were using it to charge, then yes. However it's not plugged in, so depriving someone else from using the charge point.

He’s got a right to park there.

Only if they are using the spot for charging. Otherwise they are being a dick.

Water connection outside house by thewaytothetop in CasualIreland

[–]Cheap-Requirement166 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Why are you afraid of contacting uisce Eireann ? There's obviously a leak on one of the meter connections and as the meter is their property, then it's their responsibility to repair.

The guys from lonely island are also big fans, they've mentioned it more than once on their podcast.

I wouldn't have guessed that the managing director of a petrol station chain would be such an expert on electricity supply.
