Handily there was a Youtube video of my exact model of car and on the face of it it's a very simple install - £10 kit from Amazon, remove an accessory switched...

    Loss of PME device

    I'm just curious as to what everyone thinks of the new device that has been made by pod point for their EV chargers? It basically cuts the supply to the charger in the event of a broken PME.

    How to reduce power to a heating device.

    OK, this is a weird one! I have a grid tied PV system which exports spare power to the grid. The maximum it will export is around 2.5kW Now I want to use around 1.5kW, but I want to use it to heat a 3kW element. So it will be a slow long heating rather than the full 3kW the element normally...

    Cable measuring device

    I’m just after a tool that my uncle used to measure cable lengths. The device goes into the conductors and then gives you a reading. Any idea what it is and where I could buy one. I would try google but I’m not sure what the device is, and my uncle bought it a long time ago.

The concern is that it says it requires 16A. My garage has a single 15A breaker for it that's in the house, but I don't know the size...
