This was then glued together by melting the sandwich in a heated press for 20 minutes. I...

    Fiat Breakdown not very professional

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I had to call them on a Sunday, was connected quickly at no extra cost and had a very good response.

    VPN & UK SIM

    Yes, the system recognises where you are when you use the Internet and this has nothing to do with the SIM. You will need a VPN to hide your current location. A VPN will also give you much more security when using WiFi and of course for any banking etc.

    Öland a place to visit in Sweden.

    I'm from Essex! After my wife and mother died in quick succession I needed to sort myself out. I went to Sweden, Finland and Norway for a six month trip by myself. I deliberately stayed away from busy places. The wildness areas are so different from the UK. In rush hour you can expect 2 cars...

    What size inverter?

    Please remember that your inverter will draw a VERY LARGE current from your 12V battery. If you have a 1000 Watt inverter it will take about 85 Amps which will require very thick supply cables.
