Excellent thread and nice tidy looking conversion. The VOSA and DVLA problems are just one of the things I am worrying about in doing a conversion. Good that you sorted it out. I guess when I get a doner car I will try to get one with MOT and Tax on it before I start work and then do one change at a...

I want a Skoda 120L ! :x [stomps foot!] :wink: Seriously, I think it will be a really good vehicle as a donor, see here . They handle better with some weight in the front, I used to have a couple of bags of sand in the front of the ones I used to run so a load of batteries would be good. I would fit...

A lot of people doing up Land Rovers are falling foul of it due to a change in engine and gearbox, uprating brakes and suspension or changing the body type like putting a LR90 body onto a Disco chassis.

The socket could be as simple as a blue 16A socket fixed to the outside with a length of flex running through a hole in the wall. Inside you would it a Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB), also known as a Residual Current Device (RCD), plug to the flex and plug it in when you need it. Only plugg...

I am converting my house into flats, one for me, a granny flat for my folks and two to rent out. I am putting a 'free to tenants' electric charging point in the parking bay in the hope that it will encourage use. The cost of extra electricity usage should be negligable to me compared to the rent and...
