    Posted by Gurth Scriven 2 on 24/08/2014 17:48:00 I will now await criticism of my own grammar and spelling. You didn't need to put a capital R in remedial **LINK**

    Posted by John F on 24/08/2014 07:39:03: The new data laws forces communication companies to store data but does not include the content of messages and phone calls - just when and who you called, texted and emailed. The government does not get this data though, it is the communications companies who store this metadata. Nothing is being listened to unless the security services get a warrant signed and even then only the data and communications being investigated is accessed, not everyone on a whim. Have you actually read the Act in full then John or are you relying on what the politicians who created it in secret are telling you to believe ? Because a lot of people disagree with them including Lawyers, civil liberty groups, privacy campaigners etc, And have you ever heard of GCHQ and NSA, do you know the reason Edward Snowden is now a refugee in Russia and a wanted man in America etc etc **LINK** **LINK** **LINK** **LINK** **LINK** **LINK**

    I find it quite ironic that you are all moaning about Brussels and europe running our lives and politicians lying over vacuum cleaners, yet only a couple of weeks ago, when the political establishment overturned a ruling from the continent about our draconian mass data collection policy ( aka spying on the populations e-mail, texts,?phone calls then storing them for a year etc ) the collective view on this forum seemed to be that they were working to our own good, our trustworthy upstanding politicians only ever have our best interests at heart and want to keep us safe in our little beds at night. You don't mind somebody listening to and reading all your private communication, but woe betide anybody making you use a little less powerfully Hoover !

    Crimps are a permanent joint which can be buried etc,connector blocks are not permanent and have to be accessible. Inside the switch box as long as it's deep enough you can use either, I just prefers crimps. As for why not solder, time is money and using perfectly suitable crimps I could probably go in do the job and be back out by the time the soldering iron had warmed up

    Gonzo as part of part p if you are unhappy with any of the work you can take it up with building control, they will make their scheme provider give the installer the chance to put right their work or get someone else to put it right and charge the original Installer. You should have a certificate to say that work complies with building regulations, that should state the scheme provider and installer on

    Jamie the electrical regs bs7671 is not law, it is there for not "illegal" to do anything, you can however use it in court to prove you are not liable for any incident that may arise from an unsafe installation by showing you followed its guidance. I'm a JIB approved electrician, 17th edition regs, was a registered part p competant installer while self employed and I now work for Plus Dane housing. As I said earlier Through crimps, done properly within the confines of the switch box are perfectly acceptable for extending cables and can be done easily by the op if he so wishes without needing to notify anybody. The new consumer unit the op wants however, is classed as a major job and has to be done by a registered competant installer and reported to the local building control

    Sorry Mike but what you said about alterations and additions is wrong, the whole installation doesn't need to be tested, for alterations a minor works certificate just covering the work done is sufficient, for additions to an existing consumer unit an installation certificate just covering the circuit added is fine. As Martin says through crimps are fine for extending cables but if there are existing conduits from the switch to the ceiling space / loft sometimes you can tie New cables to the existing cables and use them to pull up the conduit, you may even be able to pull down a bit of slack to re-terminate the existing cable! The new consumer unit is classed as a part p reportable job though so would need an installer registered with one of the schemes

    Posted by chris Bond on 11/08/2014 13:23:56: Hope I am not hi jacking this thread but has anyone put non mains lighting in their shed Not task lighting but just something to see by in the winter I wondered whether lipo power would be an option. 12V Leisure battery would be better than lipo, you can get some little fluorescent strip lights from a Caravan or similar to hang up and it would last a lot longer too

    All info I can find on RCGF 26cc engines puts the fuel oil mix at 25:1 to 40:1 if its new and you`re running it at 50:1 is there a possibility you might have warped the head a bit or damaged the liner / ring while running it previously ? if its a tight new engine with not enough oil a lot of heat can build up very quickly, might be worth while taking the head off and checking it for level and the liner for scoring or similar

    Posted by GrahamWh on 06/08/2014 21:33:11: Kev I think your next update on the tracking site will be "sent from MPC... to (some code for Heathrow)". That's where mine got to as of 1st July. I have been communicating with HK who are looking into it!. (John, there seems to be a big price jump with APC props when you go from 13" to 14" - seems to nearly double!) Did you try parcel force track and trace, when it gets to Britain they take over

    Posted by Rich2 on 06/08/2014 14:05:52: All fixed now and four further flights on the retracts have been without issue, so I'm very pleased with them. Rich Its gotta be time to put the cowl on then, at least let her look nice on her outings

    The police will just tell you its a civil matter, to sort it out yourself and wont do a thing

    Posted by Erfolg on 06/08/2014 16:18:26: The APC style props from HK, are also very good in both performance and balance, I certainly would not dismiss them because they are much lower in price. Pos Malaysia appear to be a troublesome carrier, they were also the company who took so long to deliver my lipos in two separate orders, separated by some time. Other small orders have arrived very quickly. Swiss Air used to be very good, I do wonder why move from such a good carrier to one that seems to use sailing ships and possibly camels. Because the good ones wont ship LIPO`s

    Parcel force still track the item as it moves along, Ive got a parcel coming from HK UK and I can track it, at 18:20 its in Ipswich depot, forwarded for processing

    If you want to watch the Video with subtitles in English - click where it says you tube in the bottom right corner to watch it on the actual you tube page, then again in the bottom right corner, between the clock and sprocket, there is a rectangle with lines in, click it, click "on", then click the little down arrow where it says Spanish, click translate, find English and Robert is your Mothers Brother

    Posted by Jamie sawyer on 28/07/2014 18:17:58: What is the standard tax that you have to pay when you get your goods. Is it just a standard 20% ?? I ordered from the European wearhouse last year and had to pay a £14 tax at the post office to recover them which I hadn't taken into consideration. Thanks and good luck with the time scale You don't have to pay any tax from the EU warehouse, it must have been the HK warehouse you ordered from by mistake
