Surely its a shame to scrap it for the want of a bit of welding !
![]() Just did a fair bit of welding on mine and it was only a few hours work, even for an old bloke like me Im not much of a welder, but its not difficult to learn how to make something solid and presentable if you spend a few hundred quid on a welder. Or if you dont fancy that, a local garage or company probably wont charge a fortune to do it. ![]() Imo, they are well worth saving now and becoming a bit collectable. I had someone knock on my door a couple of weeks ago asking if I would sell mine. Irish bloke of course. ![]() |

I'm also going to go untethered, so that I could easily replace the cable if damaged. My understanding is tethered, if damaged/driven over etc, harder and more expensive to fix.

He implied the control box would go directly underneath or to the side of the meter box as it cannot go inside the meter box itself.

Another Omega bites the dust. Surely each one converted to Beanz tinz makes the remaining ones more valuable.... ...cue STEMO for his obvious comment

One of mine is the same. I just set the time right and left the date.Want to try a firmware flash, next time you're passing, see if it resolves it? I am a fair bit closer to OOF HQ having moved last year, but.... MOT runs out on the black Omega end of this month and unless someone wants it (and wants to plate and weld up an inner wing and a few other jobs) it'll be cubed most likely ![]() |

Well the terrestrial DAB is via the rear screen wires (connected on the NS), the satellite DAB (SDARS) is via the Sigma Pod and is North America only, so don't worry about that one.Yup, was aware we don't use the one in the sigma pod, so its only GPS I run from that. Turns out its bloody good knowing where you are even with the sigma pod on the kitchen worktop, as I ran without mine for hundreds of miles ![]() I guess I need to double check screen elements for damage as well, in case the Kosovans got carried away. Thinking aloud, I wonder if that was when it went wrong, as it wasn't long after the puddle drowning, and she did take it somewhere for a wash afterwards once we'd dried out the inside. Water levels in the boot didn't get anywhere near the DAB receiver, just a bit of a trickle in the bottom of the wheel well, so don't think it will be water damage from said drowning. |

The clamp meter clamp and control box will likely have to go in it, as not going to be easy to get to a Live only cable anywhere else.Octopus hated by decent electricians as they do the cheapest easiest installs with terrible workmanship - CU's installed outdoor or in the meter cupboard (not your property - belongs to the DNO), incorrect RCBO's etc etc. |

For things like extra meters that may need to go in etc. He would install it outside the cabinet on mine |
