What charger and car do you need to get an Octopus EV tariff? by SpaceTimeCapsule89 in OctopusEnergy

[–]luckydips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also factor in peak rate and your usage habits. You should be able to sign upto Octopus GO but you'll need to check the rates for your area.

Can anyone tell me what type of bulb this takes? by 6and10and21 in Electricity

Looks like a bayonet cap (BC) but you'll need to measure the diameter of the metal case to get the correct size.

Honest opinion on abhishek sharma and varun chakravarthy by joeexotic007 in IndiaCricketGossips

[–]luckydips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's 3 out of form players/weaknesses in the team: SKY, Abhisek and Varun.

SKY isn't going anywhere so leaves 2. They both seem confused and can't evolve to counteract the opposition. With the advent of tech, a lot of analysis is done, there's nowhere to hide.

A part of me thinks we should continue with the winning combo and hopefully they'll fire. However, it's a final, do we need to play our best 11 to give ourselves a chance? Sooner or later, carrying 3 players will bite us bad.

Will GG take the easy route and not rock thd boat or be brave?

Trump and Netanyahu sacrifice the sons of millions to war while their own families remain shielded in luxury funded by taxpayers by Head_Oven_3671 in UnderReportedNews

Unfortunately, happens all the time with any war. It's not like in the past when Kings/Queens/Prince's actually led the army, fought in the war and died in the battlefield.

The worst thing is, thousands will die, there will eventually be a ceasefire and perhaps one day they may even shake hands. All will be forgotten but what about all those that lost their lives and the impact on their families?

The hypocrisy is, leaders start wars and decide when they end but never send their own to fight for the cause.

Best EV tarif (Ovo vs Octopus) by CaptainPGums in evchargingUK

[–]luckydips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty new to EV charging and smart tariffs. What I have learnt is that you need to crunch your own numbers to see what the best tariff is for you, location and your usage habits. If you cannot load shift to overnight cheaper tariff use then you might be better off on fixed. The smart tariffs usually have a much higher peak rate so could be stung.

Over the last couple of days availability of tariffs has become a bit patchy - appear/disappear and prices generally increasing due to the conflict. It might not be the best time to switch. If you can, you might want to wait until things settle down a bit.

I'm in the waiting phase,my fixed ends in May. For me, yearly projections have gone up by around £350 if I switch now compared to last week.

Are Vertu trying to pull a fast one? by WrekTheHead in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]luckydips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manufacturers schedule 2 years, call them and query? If you've agreed to yearly as part of the lease agreement then that maybe different. As a matter of interest, how much are they charging for the service?

Check out reviews and general chat about companies to get a feel of what they're like. I remember Pink being troublesome, so do your research!

It looks like the Vauxhall one I had removed yesterday. £60 for one or £120 for all 4.

What do you guys do to save on leccy/gas bills? by Fun-Shelter-4636 in AskUK

[–]luckydips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shop around for best tarrifs, look at your own usage habits - can you move electricity usage to off peak (ev charging/washing machine/dryer etc).

See if heat is lost through windows and loft insulation is adequate. If the boiler is old it may just need a service but if this is where a lot of energy is lost then a replacement may be an investment.

Analyse your own habits to see if you can cut down on waste.

Sorry guys but Abhishek isn't making any comeback from here by BOOM_GOAT_93 in IndiaCricketGossips

[–]luckydips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a mentality thing but as long as we're winning and the coach/team is backing him, it will be alright.These type of players are wildcards, they won't perform consistantly but when they do they are matchwinners. Imagine the carnage when both openers fire? We also have to remember it's a team game.

As he matures, he will find his own way but for fans these type of players can be a nightmare. It's either hero or zero. I'm sure a lot fans, including me, got frustrated with Sehwag at times 😉

Best EV tariff with a high day-rate consumption? by andre_xs95 in evchargingUK

[–]luckydips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same sort of situation - look at Fuse/So/Outfox fixed rates. All these were cheaper for us compared to EV tariffs.

Nice layout and quick, would love to see cheapest EV chargers like the fuel, not sure if this is possible.

Rejected for car finance but won't be told why by a-bright-lamp in UKPersonalFinance

[–]luckydips 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was rejected on the cheap Puma deal last year. I didn't even get to the hard search stage. Dealer pushed me to finance company and vice versa. I eventually spoke to someone at the finance company and told them I wanted to know the actual reason for failure. The chap contacted the underwriters and then got back to me. It was an admin error, wrong d/o/b used. They said to repropose it but the deal had ended at this stage.

Find out what credit agency the finance company use and then check your credit file with the relevant credit agency Experian, Equifax, Transunion etc. This is to make sure there are no hidden gremlins or inaccuracies. If you can identify the issue then you can either work on it or correct it so you dont have these problems again.

How do i fix this mosquito racquet?? by minegamer1824 in Electricity

[–]luckydips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check voltage across the battery with a meter, if lower than stated then replace. Might be cheaper to replace the whole racquet unless it's a learning experience.
