Final update on this!!
All I can say is fantastic service from the gardiner staff and Alex himself.
After fedex letting us down again yesterday I had an email from big man himself first thing this morning and basically because I’ve been messed about by the collection farce of fedex which I repeat again is totally out of gardiner’s hands, he’s decided to send me a new pole section along with shims and some pole spray as a good will gesture!
Absolutely amazing that from gardiner.
You see plenty of negative comments about customer service like the new email system but all I can say its been fantastic.
I won’t lie I had been thinking about the phantom as my next pole just because of some of the comments on it and the fact I’ve only ever had gardiner but too be honest when i got service like this  why would I want to go elsewhere.
Thsnkd very much Alex G😉

Nah , nothing yet , still doing my homework for the mo !
Dopey Daz thinks I'm going up to Grippa in January 

theres no way you d fit a grippa hydroheat in that van of yours anyway mate unless you reduced the size of your tank to a 150L!

Ha , I was wondering when you would see that comment 
You are right though with the 350 tank , my 250 would give me space and 100kg less , but its down to batteries and charging , thats why I have to come up with a different solution .

That is where I am lucky as I can weld !

I was looking for a solution that meant no welding but looks like there isn’t anything available that is the right size. Conventiently I have w family member who can weld and has scrap metal tube lying around to.

I should be able to know if it’s worth it by new year. Or until the Patents come through 😂😂
