• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

    ICE car sales Ban

    On BBC’s Click today they said it only takes 4 years before you’re quids in with an EV. And that’s now. As mentioned, price parity is predicted for 2024. https://cleantechnica.com/2020/10/22/ub ... y-in-2024/ There seems to be a big difference in people’s attitude over EV’s. The...

    ICE car sales Ban

    I understand your objections Roger and I sympathise but all the evidence at the moment is that EV’s are set to become a major part of personal transport whether folks like it or not, particularly in the UK and Europe. This graphic is a brief insight into the major Motoring Manufacturers EV...

    ICE car sales Ban

    No, I didn’t gloss over it, I ignored it as irrelevant to the conversation. ;) I’ve driven dozens of cars over the past 45 years years and at no point did I even think once where the materials to build it came from, not even for the battery! And I don’t believe for one minute that you have...

    drummond b restoration

    I’m guessing the drip oiler is there because it originally had a plain bearing. Plain bearings were often considered to be more accurate. The bearing race pictured doesn’t look right to me either. The guy that runs this site can tell you the correct type of bearings to fit. If you don’t fit the...

    Gone back to GLS

    I’ve bought LED lamps from eBay, Wickes, Homebase and Online Lighting retailers and none of them have lasted anywhere near as long as the thousands of hours of quoted useage. I found some old GLS lamps in the loft the other week so I just replaced a blown LED with one of those. Next time I’m out...

    Windows and PDF

    Do any of you have trouble opening PDF files? A friend sent out a newsletter in PDF format the other day and one or two said they couldn’t open it. After 22 years Microsoft finally provided the ability to open PDF files in Windows 10 so I’m guessing they must be using win 7 or 8?

    ICE car sales Ban

    Moves forward five years to 2035, I missed that. https://electrek.co/2020/02/05/uk-ice-c ... ward-2035/ Norway’s ban on new ICE cars comes in, in 2025. Holland, Denmark and Sweden are expected to follow five years later, perhaps sooner. Hybrids have also been included in the ban. It’s...

    Air Conditioning

    It’s at times like these that I cave in and unbury the portable AC unit from it’s hiding place deep in the cupboard. I’ve now decided it’s time to have a proper unit installed. Obviously now is not the time to do it so I’ll be looking at having it done later in the year. I’m looking at a 21,000...
