Look on Ebay for a foot or floor dip switch. That is what I had on my T2 to control the roof lights. I have just ordered one for the Jeep, makes it much easier that trying to find the right switch on the dash. I then had a 2 way switch on the dash that allowed on or on with main beam. Sent from...

If only they wern't so corruptable, they would make fearless gard dogs. Lol. Perhaps more suited to being a burglars assistant. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

They are fearless little things, but my biggest concern is the fact that they are long and thin. It would be easy for a fox to snap at them and break their back. When we were in the New Forrest a couple of years ago, one of the ponies came over and sniffed one of our guys. The ferret was...

You and me both... We used to have an ultrasonic fox deterrent, but it was forever running the batteries flat, so really not sure how good they are. The ferrets never batted an eyelid at it.

The ferrets and the Magpies play together a lot. It's funny to watch, as they will run up and tweak the ferrets tail if the ferrets ignore them. They then flutter and run round the garden until a ferret gets too close, where they will hop/flap up onto the fence, or bird bath. The fox is another...

We have a "ferret proof" garden, and can open a cat flap and let the guys come and go. First thing in the morning, they like to go out and roll in the damp/wet grass, and clean their coats. This morning, I let them out whereby Topic, closely followed by Peanut were out like a shot, bundling...

I had never seen these pass through ones before... they look like they would make the wiring up a lot easier... the amount of times 2 of the wires have swapped just as you crimp it up is unbelievable. :augie

They are not too hard to make, but the crimp tool is specific to the 8 pin Cat5/6 connectors. These are different to the 6 pin BT connectors, and again different to the 4/6/8 pin RJ11 style plugs often used on the device end of a telecom wire. The CAT5/6 crimp tool has 8 wafers that physically...

There are 2 types of "clicky" ones, The Krone one works on most, but there is a different one, used mainly on patch panels, where the IDC connectors are closer together. I have on the odd occasion found wall sockets that I have needed to use the second tool on. If you use the wrong one, it seems...

Not sure. I think generally, you have solid copper or aluminium. Aluminium is the best conductor, but you can only terminate it in IDC, rather than being able to solder it, but since most CAT 5/6 stuff is IDC anyway that would not be a problem. The only really reason to use strands is cable...

Result Jim. I'll uncross the fingers on one hand now. Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Main thing with cat 6 is it has a sheild round the cables and a tighter twist to the pairs. I used it, as it gives the cable a bit more protection and strength when pulling it down long conduits. Mine ran between sockets, so I earthed the screen to the house mains earth, like coax would be to...

I use a Netgear EX6150 to get my network out to the Garage. Basically, it connects to the main wireless network in the house, and not only gives me a wireless access point in the garage, but also has a single Cat5 socket on it that my camera plugs into. I did need to put a power supply for the...

It's strange here in Kent, it's breezy, but nothing worse than a normal windy day. I think the fettets have sneezed harder. The only clue the wind gusts are a bit harder than normal is they have set the alarm off on the T2 a couple of times, and that only happens when it is more gusty than...

It's all part of the plan to kill off diesels.... Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

Thats a great video, but like all, it takes a leap of faith when it goes from explaing the diff, to how you get the drive into the diff. Can you imagine health and safety on that last bit today? Sent from my SM-G930F using Tapatalk

I remember my first Mecano set, and one of the first things the instructions get you to build is a Differential. I must have built goodness only know how many and had no idea what they were for. I went to automotive college and had to work on a diff, still couldn't work out the point, or...

Languages were never my strong point... including English.. I speak fluent Technical though...

It's Time share... fortunately, they are so good, they have a flux capacitor, so just as long as we don't bump into each other, which could upset the space/time continuum, we are fine... :augie
