    We got an email from our electricity supplier to say we consented to a smart meter. We didnt. We call them and said our panel was already upgraded and we dont want it. They wouldnt listen so I went to the power ombudsman. She was on their side. We have our own solar and batteries. We are now looking at a generator to go off grid.

    a toyota hybrid or lexus hybrid are the best mpg and most reliable, plus the value of the car will stay high when you sell it, not a plug in hybrid, but the ones that charge by itself

    Don’t look at my smart meter anymore, it’s not accurate and my bill is completely different from what it shows.

    New problem now that the new radiator solved the over heating problem. When the car is cold and I start it it revs very high up to 2k RPM, as the engine temperature heats up it will flash gear box fault and engine fault probelms, However shut off the car wait about 1 minute by that time the engine temperature needle reaches the middle, then all problems suddenly go away. I went ahead and cleaned the all the leaves dust and debri and installed a new cabin air filter. One day when driving on a 90 degree summer day hot day i was driving 70 mph and the rear window was foggy so i press the rear defrost button suddenly the car jumped into limp mode. I had to pull over wait 5 min for all to dry and didnt press the button again. it worked and i drive 60 miles back home. I assuming some coolant leak hit some belt some where and causes some wierd issue, yes I checked grounds and replaced the MAF and new Throttle body. Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated.

    About a year ago I took my vehicle in for a tyre change, whilst waiting for the work to be done another car was having an MOT the mechanic had the vehicle on the lift ramp with the engine running, but hadn’t opened the drivers door window, on lowering the car to floor level the car had locked itself and he couldn’t get into the car. They had to ring the customer to bring down a spare key to gain access, what a bunch of idiots halford staff are, by the way it took over an hour and half to fit my tyre as they had lost my locking wheel bolt removal socket!!!

    I worked at Eon next for the best part of a year and 8 out of 10 times the customer's issue was smart meter related, they are absolute garbage and not fit for purpose, they just loose connection for no reason and re-establishing the connection can be a nightmare. There's nothing smart about them, avoid them at all costs.

    I hear you "loud and clear", private companies are a joke, they always try and trick you. The only interest is returns to their shareholders, they are an ABSOLUTE DISGRACE! Expat Australian living in Thailand for over 8 years now, electricity is run by the government, works perfectly! Any fault - when you call in are immediately identified, and accurate restoration times given, we don't need to give them the address, they have everything based on caller ID. Australia and the UK run a close parallel with privatisation, DISGRACEFUL, no excuse, just giving multinationals more money from the struggling consumer. Thank yo, enough said!

    electrical smart meters are set at a lower wattage ,so if you use too much it trips your system ,the electric company will set the wattage higher but you will be charged for it ,the mad thing is the original wattage you had was already set at the higher wattage ,so they reduce it then charge you extra to put it back where it was ,so dont get a smart meter legally you do not need to get one ,the phone calls you get state we have been asked by the government to encourage the fitting of meters ,if you say no that the end of it

    Lego recently is also 'copyrighting' sets from the lego ideas community. Look at the snow white set that came out recently. It was a lego ideas design and the creator got rejected (twice). Lego stole his idea and repeased it as a non ideas set... whats the excuse here?

    Actually I have a Master's in Electronics and our bodies run off specific frequencies and any foreign frequencies or EMFs are capable of effecting people in all sorts of different ways some people don't feel anything but that doesn't mean that they are not effected and there are plenty of studies by respectable scholars in the electrical feild that have found frequencies affecting human health and behavior.

    He has a smart meter and is completely normal. Errrrm yhe right. The conspiracy here is energy companies have signed up to the net zero con and the s smart meters are used to spy on your consumption and gives energy companies the power to ration your usage ie turn of appliances. He's absolutely normal Errrrm if he says so.

    I can see a major problem with electric vehicles. What if you come home one day and decide to end it all? Can't put a hose pipe on the exhaust and close the garage door. So what are you supposed to do? Lick your fingers and stroke the battery? Expect better for the money.
