It didn't pan out. whatever they ordered didn't fix it so they have ordered more parts which are currently on 8 weeks backorder.

You are correct yep. Things may be looking up though, apparently they have secured the part and it's due to them Tuesday and they are quoting 2 days to fit so we might have it back next week which is more than reasonable should it actually pan out.

My understanding also, the burden of proof that it was not fit for purpose from the start is on me, sounds like a very difficult thing to prove if its even possible. 100%, its a bloody nightmare to be honest.

And yet again its back in the dealers. It refused to switch on again with much the same symptoms as before except this time it did eventually turn on. Had a pretty rubbish experience with renault assist (RAC) who were quoting 8 hours just to send a patrol so knocked that on the head and...

Hi DRZ, i'm a complete newb with esp32 but I've managed to get one showing up in my HA. Is it a case of appending the code you posted via the "edit" dialog in the esphome webui?

just a little tip for connecting the rubber hoses to the copper 15mm is that if you add a straight coupler to the end of the copper it gives the pipe something to 'bite' onto and stay put, it was a little loose without. I used generic 5/8" heater hose

Ordered all the bits to do the automation, I'll be back soon when I can't get it working lol :p

Also something to remember if you are going to do the egr cooler is it does create some condensation in the exhaust so make sure it's all downhill to drain

I'm on the lookout for a bit of 3 or 4 inch metal round ducting to do a run down the middle of the garage, i'm too tight to pay out for it new :p

https://www.mrjones.id.au/afterburner/ Thats the guy. I tried him last year and he said he will not ship to the uk post brexit, too much paperwork

https://imgur.com/a/c3qIAJ7 From memory its a vauxhall egr cooler, tbh I just bought the cheapest one I could find on ebay. Had to rejig the exhaust inlet and faff around to get it to fit over the exhaust for the heater. Pump is a 12v "solar hot water" pump from the rainforest. Rad is...

Do you have any details on the esp32 setup? I've run one in my shed for about 3 years now and recently added an EGR cooler, small waterpump and radiator and I reckon I'm getting another 400-500w of heat that would have been wasted too. I'd like to automate

Thanks again, much appreciated:)

Bar of soap, dunno why but I hate shower gel

Thanks for this :) Looks ideal. One question, do you know if its possible to estimate turns on a brushed to KV?

https://www.slimmingworld.co.uk/recipes/diet-cola-chicken This is suprisingly good :)

Yep for sure it all needs replacing. I guess I should have been more specific, are there brushless motors that fit the old 540 mounts?

So a mate decided to take some pics on my (unlocked doh) phone and set them as a wallpaper.. amusing however I cannot delete them now. They do not appear anywhere in my photos either on the phone or in google photos yet if you hold on the screen to get the popup where you can select a wallpaper...

Realised I never updated this... We eventually got the car back in the middle of March 2023 so a pretty rubbish turnaround. They ended up giving the wife another zoe as a courtesy car in the meantime, refunding her all fuel costs on the beaten up aygo thingy the loaned her, covered insurance...

Pricing suggests they are cheaper than the non supers though?
