• Review: Garmin Drive 51 LMT-S 4 Mar 2018 (Forum)
  What a load of rubbish!! - It says it uploads via wifi - when you try it says that the storage space isn't large enough(!!) so do it through your computer using Garmin express. - and that is a pain in the *** What's the point of being able to update it 'easily' via wifi if the gadget you buy cant't take it?????
• Any - My own Diesel Supply 11 Sep 2011 (Forum)

  I will be travelling around 500+ miles a week (65-70% motorway). The back seat must fold down flat, the same level as the boot as it will be used for storage. i will spend anything between 2-5k.

• Diesel and Water contamination 21 Mar 2002 (Forum)
  I?ve being storing some diesel in an outdoor storage tank. Unfortunately the fuel has become contaminated with water.

• Worcester 8000 Style 50w Viessmann Vitodens 111-W - Worcester 8000 Style 50w Viessmann Vitodens 111- 1 Jan 2021 (Forum)
  1.Built quality 2.durability 3.customer service 4.ease of servicing 5.user interface I live in a 5 bed house with 3 bathrooms with about 20 radiators and I narrow down my choices to these two boilers , I prefer the combi because these new ones seem to be sufficient for big house and remove the need of water tank storage which I do not have the space for it. 1.Worcester Greenstar 8000 Style 50kW. I choose this one as most installers can do it with ease, it seems this range have improved in terms of design in case anything goes wrong and it has 18 l/m flow rate which is very important for me for a big house, comes with at least 10 years warranty and seem to have easy enough interface. but its very new to the market and there aren't many reviews on them 2.Viessmann Vitodens 111-W 35kW Storage Combination Boiler A whole new design a combi boiler that also have a storage so I can imagine it would be something between system and combi, I believe their built quality is better than worcester as they are german and have stainless steel heat exchanger, but I think if anything goes wrong they are more expensive to fix, this one also has 18 l/m.
