12v the big question

[groily]

You did Chaz, as Ian said! And there are lots of options, some of which have been mentioned, which work really well. That particular one won't.

TT you're dead right as usual. As I think I might have said earlier on - 80W odd are available without overloading the field if we're talking 12v-converted original Lucas windings. And of course you're right about the cut-in speed, iffy in town . . . but I have one such, which works OK because I'm a country bumpkin. Fine-wound coils sort that, but we're back to 60W safe max.

Having said which, what total utter complete moron crushed a pair of alternator wires between a pair of primary cases this morning and made such a b**** of everything he couldn't go for the planned blast. . . ?
His excuse is he was looking for something interesting to do. She didn't really manage more than half a smile.
Luckily, by end of day it was sorted.
But it's going to rain tomorrow.
And France has no Gas/Petrol or any other combustible materials, so that helps no end.
What are the penalties for pouring central heating oil into a diesel car?
