    Bluetooth music streaming ios vs android?

    On Android it depends on the app. When I use BubbleUPNP then the song titles switch fine but for compilations the Artist tag gets stuck on the first one found in the album. Using PowerAmpPro the Title gets stuck. On Amazon Music Player it seems OK for all tags. I have avoided Google Play Music...

    UK - No Toyo Tyres!

    www.mytyres.co.uk show the Toyo R37 and others in stock. Is it the R37 that's the original? http://www.mytyres.co.uk/cgi-bin/rshop.pl?PoD=110__R-235739__X

    TYRES

    Sounds interesting but it isn't really the first, surely. All weather tires have been around for a long time. I has them on my old Mondeo Estate and the wear characteristics seems much much better than the specification suggested. Bridgestone A001 I think.

    1st full day with new gh3+ and 570 miles already!

    Most of the original question answered above, so this is just my take; The burning smell on mine went away after a while so I have assumed it was just coatings / lubricants burning off and the reason it took longer was that I used the ICE less as most of my driving is on EV. The Eco button is...

    Is MCB installation included in OLEV charger install?

    Remember that this is not £195 (with or without VAT) but a 75% grant (capped at £700) *to you* plus the 25% of £195-ish. You should expect £900-odd of parts and labour. Or more. Mine was £700 grant + £299+VAT as I chose a more expensive option, knowingly.

    Is MCB installation included in OLEV charger install?

    When I say circuit, I mean breaker. Some regulations or another. I cannot find the quote right now. Will look if I can.

    Solar Power Advice

    Solar PV diverters only work on resistive loads and they tend to vary the voltage - an immersion heater doesn't really care that the voltage is not 240V or whatever but will draw a similar current. A real electrician should step in and explain as I am not getting the terminology right and I am...

    Is MCB installation included in OLEV charger install?

    I think it's a grey area and one that some installers seek to exploit to uplift the amount they can charge. If you think about the £700 / 75% and the actual cost of parts and time then it is a little "taking the piss". On the other hand as the EVSE *must* be on it's own circuit, the addition of...

    Charging cable theft protection

    I posted on speakev and I can't see how to get images on here, so if you need a wall anchor then this is a great combination: http://www.screwfix.com/p/master-lock-pivoting-wall-floor-anchor-black-115mm/98747 Wall/floor anchor with built in padlock. I have my 3m cable running through it from my...

    Not using battery

    I though of mini fan heaters but the stated output of the lighter sockets is very low in the PHEV (60W I think) and many of the ones I saw were 120-150W units.

    Not using battery

    ... which it almost always is (full) first thing in the morning when it's cold. As I have found :)

    Not using battery

    My dealer was very clear on the subject when I was considering models as I knew the £100/month difference in lease costs was not worth it for the toys I knew about, but I didn't realise about the heater. Same as above, a little petrol to warm the car is never going to reach even 10% of the price...

    Fuel economy. I now think my Phev is a lemon.

    In km/l mode the display is still restricted to 99.9 max - while the units are higher and so 99.9km/l is about 230mpg the display is still this format and goes to --.- above that.

    Extracting useful data from your OBDII port

    I have an el cheapo ELM237 bluetooth thing that works fine with Torque, so happy to test!

    Sticky "ECO" mode button

    It also appears to lower the strength of the aircon unit in an effort to save energy.
