    The kit with No Name shall be known as Harry

    Arch day, been putting it off but it wasn't as bad as I expected they have changed the design slightly so it's a bit easier. Do have a bit of a problem though when the hazards are on the indicators hardly flash, but with engine running all is fine, hopefully just a low battery...

    As I finished last night I could see some fuel around one of the injectors, luckily there is a mechanic only 5 miles away who specialises in MX5's & I knew he'd have some new seals so nipped up there this morning, wasn't confident it would be the issue but as at least one was leaking they needed...

    Yeah tried them all to get a closer appointment, Nottingham, no appointments closed down, Beverley no appointments, he wasn't sure if they had closed it, nothing at all in the Leeds area, tried Chadderton (Oldham) but that's a bit of a nightmare to get to, 2 hours away normally, hate to think...

    The kit with No Name shall be known as Harry

    DVLA emailed me yesterday asking for photo evidence & invoices for the build along with an IVA 4 Self build declaration form, all which I am sure were attached to the online forms, they did exactly the same last time so I wonder if it's standard just to ensure you are who you say you are...

    Chris, Not quite sure where the 10kW came from we have 12x 415W panels so should peak at 4.9kW, I think I've seen 4.2 but nothing higher, but as before it depends which inverter I look at & whether either are telling the truth. I think the best day so far is 31.2kWh on a 25/4 Biggest issue I...

    The kit with Now known as Harry Discussion

    Monitoring isn't the best, I have 2 inverters, 1 which the panels are connected & the other which the batteries are connected, but they don't agree with each other as to what is happening, the top one is from the panel inverter which is a Solis, the bottom on the battery one which is a Growatt...

    Longer than that in the end due to the installation company, it was installed in mid August but it was mid December before all the dust settled & we started to get paid, could have been worse it could have been 4 Summer months, but there were some good days in Oct/Nov

    The kit with Now known as Harry Discussion

    Sorry Chris, it's a bit of a joke really, I honestly can't see them being that busy, but then again the powers that be don't really want any kit cars anyway so I feel they try to make it as hard as possible. All done on-line, so why did it take 5 working days to even be accepted. Had a similar...

    The kit with No Name shall be known as Harry

    With the change of plans there was further progression, my last 2 kits passed without issue only using the repeaters built into the mirror, however one failed at Derby a few weeks ago because the examiner said he couldn't see them, that they weren't bright enough from the rear & wanted another...
