Well Chris, Iâm sure that the first thing they would have done is to try and find a reason for the warranty to be void, that was my worry. Iâll speak to them on Tuesday and get it booked in. I am trying to find out what itâs worth if I sell it.

Off topic, our DT is having new off side front door hinges fitted under warranty. After 33k theyâve worn out (clunking noise and major resistance as the door opens through the first notch) good its under warranty, cost is ÂŁ330.
Not an uncommon fault according to the internet.

Iâd be pondering the chances to have some kind of freak accident involving a hired van which wrote off that lemonâŚ

After a quick look on the VW forum I have discovered that itâs a fairly common fault and also that it will charge on the granny charger⌠eventually.

Or the Alpine A290 version.
Oh dearâŚ..
Can someone help me understand the options on ev chargers please
We donât have and prob wonât get an ev any time soon (unless I can convert the disco)
We are having a new kitchen and porch so makes (some) sense to get one added before the foundations are poured and walls built
Is there a good, works with everything, option we could choose
I feel the answer is no and itâs better to wait til you have a car and match charger to that but asking just in case
Thanks
Darren
I would be tempted to get the wiring as far as a strategically sited isolator switch if you are doing anything and then get the actual charger later.

Sounds sensible, anything specific to ask the electrician for?
Unless you are planning on 3 phase gubbins, just to make sure that the charger circuit has its own dedicated breaker in the consumer unit. I think most chargers now wonât need a separate earth (like my old Zappi does).

I recall either me or my brother, back in the 60âs having a fake, battery powered, plastic âengineâ that was somehow attached to our push bike that made a noise like a small petrol engine. I canât recall if the pitch of the noise changed somehow with speed or if there was a lever on the handle bar that allowed it.
This was a step up from the piece of card flapping against the passing spokes and held on by a clothes peg.
EDIT : A little digging and I think it was this.
Why would we have had one? Either sent as a gift from our aunt who lived in the US who had her own children the same age or because it amused my Dad who worked for BSA / Lucas at the time. I suspect the Aunt, who used to send us quite a few things that appeared in the US before Europe. Frisbees, kool-aid etc.

I can only hope theyâre patenting it to stop anyone else and have no intention of actually making such a horror.
Youâd hope that Marx (or Mattel who also made something similar) would be able to contest the patent citing their own âPrior Artâ from 60 years ago!
