Biggest mistake I made was buying a hybrid car. Great to begin with but within three years the battery side of the hybrid was letting it down. Fortunate enough to sell it on to replace it with a diesel.
I am heavily into off grid DIY solar with LifePo4 but no way interested in Lithium Ion batteries. It's a learning curve, learning from the internet and wisdom of others. Lithium phosphate batteries have their place in this world for green home energy but don't feel the market is there for EV vehicles in general for another decade at least for many reasons.

Not a van but I've ordered a CUPRA FORMENTOR DSG (petrol version)as I just can't bring myself to bother with a fully electric vehicle at present.the infrastructure just isn't there yet.

It's getting delivered this coming  wednesday!can't wait!as I've been let down with the T-Roc I ordered(not even been built yet)...the cupra is cheaper and looks far more sporty and stylish 😎

Thought you’d be buying a muscle car 🤷‍♂️

1.5TSI engines are prone to kangarooing at low speeds. Common fault. Don’t know if they’ve cured it yet. My Son has the same engine in an Octavia. Does his head in. Utter crap from VW yet again.

I'm big fan of the DSG automatic gearbox...had one in my GTD...I doubt I'll have any problems...the car is brand new!😎👍

I use 15

cant think of a decent use for 25's

You will require different nozzle sizes for different LPM

if your sticking to 21 then you will need 03 nozzles

15 or 25 fan please?

Who Defines a Fall Protection Harness’s Expiration Date or End Of Life?
There is no such thing as a predetermined or mandated expiration date on fall protection harnesses. Neither OSHA nor ANSI have current codes or standards that set a specific time period for taking a harness out of service. Even most manufacturers will not suggest how long a harness will last.

Visual inspection of all stitching and any wear or tear and whether it's come into contact with any harmful or corrosive chemicals, if all sound then it can still be used.

Interesting read about tyres lasting 7500miles on an EV car, wonder if its the same with vans?

I just returned a mercedes evito. It had 18,000 miles on it. It has been at max capacity pretty much all it's miles (650l tank - 2 man system), driven by a young lad, so most likely flat out.

I had to replace the front tyres at 10k and rotate them at 15k. Definitely more frequent than a diesel but more down to driving style than the power train.

Low end torque is fun.
