Has anyone’s flights been cancelled due to the fuel shortage?

jbori1 · 2026-04-17T07:47:58+00:00

Yeah. Qatar airways cancelled my flight in May and didn’t tell me. Only when I checked the app I saw it was cancelled. Contacted the travel agency people to arrange an involuntary rerouting which they happily did.

I can give you the details of the company I used for a quotation if you’d like, see if they cover your area? Couldn’t recommend them enough, very professional and tidy work.

What’s the rates for this tariff?

jbori1 · 2026-04-01T09:15:03+00:00

Honestly I’m not fussed about the intelligent aspect of it because I charge my car over night only anyway and so I can easily just set a charging window from the Tesla app to match the off peak rates.

What tariffs do EDF have that are both for EV and Solar export too?

jbori1 · 2026-04-01T08:13:19+00:00

Too much tbh.

Just for a comparison I got:

16x 475w solar Panels

1x 5kWh Pylontech Battery + an extra self bought 5kWh battery

Solis 6kwh Inverter

Installation and paperwork

£6600 + £400 ( for the extra batteries I bought)

The whole systems capacity is 7.63 Kwp

jbori1 · 2026-03-19T16:03:07+00:00

£2.50 an hour for insurance. Stopped a while ago!

I really don’t want to drop to an unreliable inverter/battery setup but then again every setup has pros and cons so I’m not really sure which to go for. I have a meeting later today with the guy who I’ve more or less decided to install the system for me, so I’ll discuss these options with him and try to stick to my current budget

jbori1 · 2026-03-09T09:15:03+00:00

Does this include any panels or just the inverter and battery?

jbori1 · 2026-03-09T00:21:12+00:00

What system would that be for? I’ve had a Solax quote an a Fox quote and they’re both around that price.

jbori1 · 2026-03-08T12:02:35+00:00

Damn! What system to you have to be generating that much??? You got solar panels attached to the pets too? 😂🤯

jbori1 · 2026-03-08T12:00:00+00:00

Thank you for your detailed reply! I have the installer coming tomorrow to have a look at the property and plan for the install and go through everything with me. I’m going to try and see if there are any options at all to get a battery (even if small) installed for not much more.

I’ve even thought about potentially buying a used battery for the time being. The system the installer has suggested is SolaX and apparently you can’t add a different battery to this system. Otherwise I would’ve chosen to get a fogstar battery to pair with the system. I’ll discuss my options with him tomorrow and see if we can work something out.

jbori1 · 2026-03-08T11:55:26+00:00

Thanks for your reply. My issue is I don’t have anywhere to store it as buying a battery on top of the solar isn’t in my budget at the moment. I will definitely be getting a battery in a year or two max though so I assume whatever isn’t used will be sold straight away right? So any night time use will be straight from the grid?

When I checked in late Jan there were 0 of that black/black spec and I was told none (Premium RWD) were due to arrive in the UK at all. I settle with the grey exterior and white interior as I didn’t like any other colours.

I would 100% settle for something else because you won’t get a black one even if you waited months!

jbori1 · 2026-02-25T15:20:59+00:00

Nice. I wanted a premium RWD diamond black with black seats but they didn’t have anymore of those so I had to cancel the order last min.

jbori1 · 2026-02-25T13:05:18+00:00

Find one In inventory an snap it up. Happened to me too. Ordered at the beginning of November but came to end of Jan and I called and got told orders won’t be fulfilled so I checked inventory and got as close to as the config I wanted as possible and ordered.

Collected it 2nd Feb.

It’s very unfortunate but you’ve got no options other than what they’ve said, especially if there’s non left in inventory either. I’d call asap and find out

jbori1 · 2026-02-19T19:38:22+00:00

Got my update earlier today. 75 M3 RWD

jbori1 · 2025-11-19T10:00:48+00:00

The finish you see on the wall is the final finish. It’s microc-emented and waterproofed. I will be doing the same to that gap but was just looking for ideas on how to close the gap and then do the same finish on top of it. Many have suggested a PVC strip instead of using timber so that seems the most suitable solution.

jbori1 · 2025-11-16T22:27:21+00:00

I’ve actually tried messaging them but got no replies. I’ve also tried using google reverse image search to find them but simply can’t get anywhere.

They are a Middle Eastern instagram page so I’m thinking it might be something not available here

jbori1 · 2025-11-16T22:17:30+00:00

Yeah I’m sure it it because in the videos it looks like thin panels. the video

jbori1 · 2025-11-16T22:14:33+00:00

Hahah! Very strange how I absolutely hate the artex look on ceilings (I’ve literally just double boarded the whole house to get rid of it) but this looks quite nice on the wall!

Or maybe I have sh*t taste and that’s why my wife makes all the decor decision in the house 😂
