Brian (MDLR) on my brother-in-laws new Mercedes, the battery is the size of a motor cycle battery so I don't know how it puts up with the auto restarting and constant running lights and always on alarm system it's a mystery to me. I was looking for a bigger battery when he first showed me his new car.

I had an expensive dehumidifier that worked well for quit some time then no water , I believe it done it's work and kept the house dry have not used it for some time I will plug it in and see if it gathers any water from the air again , They can only fill with water if the air is damp.

Cracking video I have been made to jump many a time by train drivers who think it's funny to give you a close up blast of their horns when I worked on signal maintenance for BR in the 60s & 70s. It was surprising how a bloody great diesel can roll up silently behind you and give you a blast.

That's looking nice Tom, Is the Dome a standard Lady Ann one and have you fitted a pop safety valve or is it still the Roundhouse one.
