:lol: have you lot never been on a big job before
That heaters only drawing 1000watts
Thats not enough to even warm that wire especially in this atmosphere :lol:
It only starts warming up with 2000 watts through it
Mind you thats the lead for the arsewash 3000 and the dryers 2000 watts and the water heater is too
But if its coiled the heater will warm it up a bit but the dryer won't
Bonkers
Have to be carefully thy knows as the arsewash can draw 9000 watts at full chat
But the plug usually melts first :lol:

had loads of similar experiences yesterday Mate :roll:

7 hour drive home from Staffs, either weirdos going at 20 MPH in the slushy cleared slow lane, or maniacs doing 70 in the outside lane in 8 inches of snow :shock:

saw at least 4 jacked knifed artics, mainly due to car drivers doing stupid stuff, but also due to artics getting impatient and going past slow buggers in the snowy bits :?

eventually had to detour at Didcot cause thy shut the A34 so I played sat nav roulette for an hour :? Ended up taking 7 hours for a 3 and a bit hour journey :(

Trusty Tango machine was brilliant though, apart from a bit of Colin Mcrea round a round about near Eccleshall ( me having a bit of fun :lol: ) Never spun the wheels once :D

Ah yes :D I don't have a beacon so now I know, traction control, beacon, heated front screen, heated rear screen, sweet, nice boost gauge, what boost are you seeing on that? I built a thing for my gauges :D N

I'm sure you could throw the engine and fit a 2.2 200ps in then get that remapped too a safe 30ps or f**k it and crank it up to 500ps :mrgreen: (probably not :lol: )

You'd have to buy some good tyres tho bloody fwd junk :|

I think it would be pointless as it'd probably just spin all of the time :lol:

The weak point of any vehicle is the grip at the tyre and ground, oh then the human anatomy, (instant acceleration/deceleration from 0 to 100mph or reverse results in death usually) :shock:

Stay safe :mrgreen:
