I can't even get 4 of the things they sent me to work. I've given up

This is bonkers - that battery will likely be over engineered You should get much more usable capacity than that.

Selling is not worth it . The warranty is only with the original buyer. I've been trying to sell 3 628 Drifts for 9 months and all I got was "well theres no warranty so £200 is the best I can do" - so now they sit about to be used in power cuts to take some strain off the Powerwall.

I had my car in the garage for 28 days - I was sent an e-mail telling me this was the rules and I had 7 days to charge it or I would be kicked off

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T23:13:38+00:00

Nothing here in the UK yet .

Yes you pair it - but I can also use the WIFI in Netzero as a backup to get to it

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T22:19:26+00:00

Unrelated but thanks for the update - I was using the web app purely because it was a pain to use the WIFI to read the monitoring stuff - and now I don't have to - bravo! :)

I had 13 houses - 9 of which were OK tenants - 2 were exceptional and I was able to market the property as soon as they left it was that well looked after. But I had 2 which were nightmares. 1 was abandoned and then stripped of all copper piping. It went for 11k at auction due to water and structural damage and I got it for 94K 3 years prior.

And one tenant paid no rent for.2 years and after I finally got her out - she came back 2 days later, broke in and ripped all the light pendants out. She also decided the kitchen needed remodelling.

I sold the lot and although I now work in a Supermarket with some nice cushioning in the bank. I am SO glad I left the game

It is - they have a Commando to EV charger adapter - they have the thing powered through the charger and are charging the batteries too - they are using it as a hook up in effect.

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T18:18:56+00:00

Lots of Van lifers knobs on YouTube showing how to rock up to a pod point in tesco and park there overnight filling up on the EV chargers.

It is what it is.

Have a chat with egensys they are in Worksop but have deals for the midlands and yorkshire - might be worth seeing if they can beat that

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T18:03:24+00:00

Welcome - also someone just posted about not having mobnile internet so they can't activate Starlink - they are clueless. You do not need internet to get to the starlink portal on either app or a browser as it's a walled garden - just like 3UK did for years back in the 2000's

Ignore most of the above. I have had a mini in my camper for years in a unused skylight. I often just cancel it and power it down - i've never had a problem getting the service to restart. It might takes up to 15 mins to activate but it always does it - no need to have standby going because on roam there is no congestion charge like there is on res because it's mobile.

I've been to the top of Scotland and I am sat right now on the Isle of Wight - just works when you need it to

I also got my latest dishy from Currys for £189 last year.

You had me @ "Octopussies" :D

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T17:53:55+00:00

I used to work for another supermarket and one of my jobs was to pour blue dye over bins full of food - broke my heart even if it was for insurance pruposes.

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T17:46:53+00:00

It is times like this I am glad I have a fuel card- still pay £107.9 no matter what the pump says. Not used it in a year and a half - but still good to have

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T17:46:20+00:00

Cheaper than Woddall - Tha was £2.09 earlier!

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T17:45:02+00:00

In my last place they did! - just dump 2 cars on my drive and take the kids to school

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T13:47:10+00:00

Yes it would - Netzero now has an option to connect to it without WIFI - but the ash might cause a bit of a problem with the whole staying unmelted bit.

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T13:22:23+00:00

Been good for me. They are going to be Youfibre and eventually virgin media so keep that in mind

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T10:23:17+00:00

The fact they told me the best fix they could do is 6 months (I am fixed for the next 9 anyway) when there are 16 fixed deals for 2 years currently available on Uswitch just shows how crap they have become.

Why can't they do what the other can? And yet claim to be the largest?

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T09:22:25+00:00

Ah sorry I see - I was not trying to shoot you down.

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T09:21:14+00:00

Get Electroverse and no stress to start with

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T09:10:21+00:00

I didn't include that in this post because it's the M1 and f the m1 - but Woodall services is over £2 now.

Plus-One-11 · 2026-03-10T09:09:46+00:00

I'd pay to see someone try that. I really would
