    Khan's ULEZ scam >road charging

    Cobalt is used in lots of things, includes ICE vehicles, so yes, let’s ban then. as has been pointed out, London has, compared to the rest of the UK, a first class public transport system. No one seems to object to the congestion charge these days so eventually ULEZ will become acceptable as...

    Evolution Rage5s Mitre Angle

    Electra Beckum HC260 - keeps blowing fuses!

    I had exactly the same. The power draw was so high, if the fuse didn’t blow first time it would blow second or if lucky, 3rd time. Never any longer. I ran a separate 16A spur to it and never had a problem since.
