Re: Ctek mxs05

Covering the charger when outside is a good idea but is not really necessary as they are rated to IP65, definition below A fixture with an IP rating of 65 is protected against multi-directional, low-pressure water jets. In order to pass testing and achieve an IP65 rating, fixtures must be able to wi...

Re: Remote key fob

Coronovirus & We buy any car

If you want a shock, put your car reg into We buy any car for a valuation. Keep the defibrillator handy. If this is what the dealers use to value your car, they will be closing in droves
