If politicians grew a set and mandated proper insulation in all new builds and renovations that would make a real difference, part of the issue is the change to combi boilers most took out the cold water storage tank and the hot water cylinder. I know in my house this space is now built into...

some times ragging a less powerful bike feels more satisfying that babying a big bike. Example given try one of the mental jap 250 inline fours from the 80s, crazy high red lines (20k) but possible to have fun without breakneck speeds. The current trend towards twins with instant power...

that fine if you can afford it for me the cost is crippling and would take decades to recover. I love the idea and I think it should go further EVs and home batteries should feed into the grid when needed and take when surplus. If every new build was mandated to have battery storage and...

The nail in the coffin was applying tax to it that killed it. Was inefficient and had safety risks but made a big gas guzzler almost paletable

Well regards sales that is quotes from VW and others who have had to look at restarting ICE production. I like my little Kona but I am lucky I have a drive way to charge it on. If they adopt the star delta system on the next generation EV with better battery technology yes I will get another...

The MoD are giving hydrogen serious consideration as mobile power source the knock on effect may help the wider roll out. They are not looking at it for vehicles at present but more as an alternative to generators in the field as modem kit needs power and focussed energy weapons etc could be...

I see the new Kia EV9 has moved the game on with a switchable motor that has extra winding's to enable a high torque characteristic motor (Wye) for acceleration and a free spinning motor (Delta) for higher speeds, all done without any additional gearboxes or weight. This has the potential to...

go yellow , i use the powder version mixes easier as for how much well that really down to taste and how long you let your cider sit for? if drinking right away might need more if leaving to age i generally need less. I would start with half teaspoon per ltr, draw off a sample whatever size...

I regretted selling my SV650S - great fun little bike, if i had changed the clip on to bars would have kept it but kids were young then wife was not happy

yes I used one of these small batch kits to a make Corona clone for my son, turned out very nice and easy enough to do with a big stock pot gave a 5 ltr batch that was very nice, bit stronger at near 6% but nice

Indeed as my son has demonstrated even with 12.5 hp he can be lethal!

well governments are rolling back any incentives for EVs and its hurting the market look at VW looking to half production staff in Germany citing the U-Turn in policy ie removal of incentives makes it unprofitable to stay in Germany. Even in this country i will be paying the full £190 despite...

he is still in season 2 I cant take him seriously after years of the wire

onto 2nd season its a riot

Kits turn out OK no harm in making them shaort ie 20 ltr rather than 23 for a touch stronger. Advice would be give as much time as you can 2 weeks in the FV 2 weeks to carb up and MINIMUM 2 weeks to rest, I found the longer you left it to rest the better it gets. Turbo cider is very good better...

I looked at a 2022 MG5 I drove ok but felt really flimsy little things like that door cards flexed and rattled when shutting the door has only done 22k but looked very worn the Kona at same price was much nicer i thought. But very good point the prices are being pushed down I hope when I come...

yes i made sure my charger was both Octopus and OVO compatible fro this reason.

Yes I switched when I ran to numbers. 3 and 4 year old EVs are selling strongly in my area at least if they are the right car ie over 200 mile range the demand for shorter range is far less. Sadly I am not seeing the benefits of cheap charging at home as EDF have me tied in until October and...

was put off by the review of real word range 150 miles that was a bit too short for my use but everything else about it looked ok tbf

Well I can speak directly on this one I bought my EV about 4 months ago now. I did not buy soley for it being an EV. I have had my last few cars on PCP at 4 years old. I was looking to get another focus diesel as I had run 3 previously all getting to 100k + as I do about 20k a year. The spike...
