If you had legal protection cover AND IF it wasn't your fault ...
you can put in a claim for "un-insured loses"
like a hire car till a replacement car can be found
And companies such as Cheif Vehicle Rentals exist for this very purpose. But it is a form of credit purchase for the ability to pay and claim.

or the small claims court which can be very effective at moving an insurer along... ( or better still take action against the other driver if they have a few quid,  up to them to pass it to their insurer and if they faff - judgement in default)

I've been pondering fitting a DIY 12V solar system like they use in caravans and boats etc just for lights.

My house is a bungalow, so wiring in a 12V DC lighting circuit alongside the existing 240v light circuits would be fairly straight forward, and I'd have thought that modern 12V LED lights would throw out enough light?  ???

Last time I looked, the solar panels, a control unit, a few leisure batteries and other bits and bobs would probably come in at under £1500 and my house is kinda SE facing so I get plenty of sun in the mornings.

I'm not sure if I would save enough just on the lights to make it worthwhile though.  :-\

It would probably look a bit 'Heath Robinson' as well, so I'm not sure my neighbours would approve either!  ;D

Add on another grand and you could have 12 panels 3.6kw inverter grid tied.diy fit. Much more useable

Given the prices that MCS approved fitters charge the only way to get 4-5 year payback is DIY fit I’m afraid and I would suggest buying the kit in the winter now. No way you’ll get anything decent before September

Not yet

But my plan is for a 5/10 acre solor farm (Field basesd)
Plus roof panels over my garage extention.

Also looking into solor roofed green house.

Plus looked at Ground force water & heat supplies etc.

Lots of daft questions in my head still.  Prob the daftest one is what happens during a power and the batteries are full, what happens to the leccy that feeds back into the grid - do the neighbers end up on free power?

Also looking into Bio mass boilers, need underfloor heating for the garage extentios & keeping the pool warm.

Cost versus return obviously a big thing

5/10 acres is a big investment. And will take a lot of effort to get going. Getting it past planning for one thing.  Plus you could be looking at a substantial bill from the DNO to upgrade their equipment.

Then need to look at the tarrif you get cos I doubt it will be micro generation

its quite sad really.  i have personal experience of "sitting across the table" with a number of union guys.  the majority of the local union reps work hard for the interest of their local workforce.  I have a lot of respect for them to do that.  a few see it as a political role and it undermines what they are trying to do.

when you head further up the union structure it tends to get more politicised and less about grass roots workers issues and i feel that undermines the work of the local reps.  Its not always the case however I know one national rep @ unite ( i will not name) who when he gets off his political soapbox is a thoroughly reasonable chap to deal with and tries to do sensible things.

sadly i fear this dispute is politicised and it is undermining the real issue here that no one has really cottoned on to:  most workers in the UK are facing a below inflation increase - public or private sector.  However there are millions of public sector pensioners who are going to get an inflationary pay rise.  but they don't contribute to the economy do they?   a real social imbalance going on...

Subject to actually doing the deal I think this is sold. So if someone could kindly lock the thread it would be appreciated.

To those who have contacted me, thanks for the interest

« on: 04 April 2022, 08:54:58 »
definitely look for leak on the fuel lines across the top of the engine.  else are you getting EML light? 

You can get hold of peugeot diagnostic at a reasonable cost too to see what's going on with live data and coding of injectors if needed
