That drilling was on instruction

He ignored it for the plug hanger though.
On your advice I watched a YouTube install, sparky got a very long masonry bit and drilled inside out, knocked the brick face off
If he did that his face was next ffs

Quite right, there will be stress on the plug hanger and due to small size only two screws in mortar wouldn't have lasted

Pah..

Also 4 screws
just typical (ime) knobber tradesmen. Left a load of their rubbish behind and stole my old consumer unit.


I'll take that up with the place I was contracted with for the fitting. Its principal rather than anything else but highlights why I prefer to DIY everything


​​​​​​When we had our front door replaced years ago the fitter asked me for the keys to the old one as he removed the lock. I told him to quickly exit my property before he took up permanent residence 6 foot deep

Haha interesting that they left the rubbish but not something of value or at least reuseable/parts on van

First 1000 miles 3.9 miles/kWh. Total cost £15.25, 280.6 kWh, cost/unit 5.4p, p/mile 1.39.

Given that petrol is now £1.50/litre i.e. £7/gallon I make that almost 500mpge.

Last night wee small hours 51p for 24.7kWh average 2p/unit.

Fully charged 100% range 130 miles!

Your tariff is rather good for this car.
I get 3.5miles per kw AVG without trying and am paying more but basically it runs on fumes.. ahem.. compared to petrol

here's the ohme phone app.. not sure the money is correct as my tariff doesn't exist on it yet

Afraid not, I thnk it looks low enough as is to be honest and I haven't got any complaints with the standard OEM handling or grip balance.

Honda's best customer..

I do like that but not owned a fwd car for almost 20 years. I hear only good things about the engine in that
2.9miles/KW.. at 600p you are still talking >110mpge

​​​​​I am impressed by the efficiency and Honda still made it great fun to drive
