And to you as well Mick

Hi David...Happy New Year to you as well and well spotted ...I printed it about 5 years ago on my very 1st 3D printer. It was on "Thingyverse" (a site for 3D prints) as a set of parts ...but that exact one doesn't seem to be there anymore ...there is another so it is still possible if you want to print one See my other vids on 3D prints to see it in more detail. ....see other reply to your other post as well

Thanks for that battleship...nice of you to say so

Thasnks for the kind words...yes ideal for cleaning windows due to no mineral stains when it dries out.

Hi Davis... Not sure what you mean by "in the space of a week my car was all over the passenger side" But to answer your question you need a permanent live for the sentry mode and a switched live for the normal dashcam mode ...thse can be taken from any source where this applies ...the positions I picked just seemed the easiest.

Good morning Toms, Thanks for your comprehensive answer. I simply solved it by reversing the colors of the 2 wires, red and yellow Basically, I inserted the yellow wire into the 15a 3-pin light blue fuse, while I inserted the red wire into the 10a red fuse. Now, luckily for me, the sentry mode also works very well... Thanks again, happy holidays 2025

Hi Lee I am not sure what the electrician wired it to.....thats why the vid only goes as far as me leaving the wire ready to connect to the fuse box as I am not a registered electrician so left that bit to him He did connect it to its own trip in the consumer unit...it has ROH132B/030* on it if that helps

@TomsManShed Thanks for the reply Tom 👍

Hi Paul...yes that's a good idea ..I use mine regularly and its been perfect in all this time...it shows absolutely no signs of distress on the inside as i look every couple of months. I think any of the comments in the online reviews saying they burnt out was probably as they had used inadequate cable or joints. ...Like I say I used hefty cable and ferules on my install and its been great and the scheduling of it on the app or turning it on with Alexa is a great feature

Thanks Elise ...glad it helped

Thanks for that tonerole ..I will do my best to

Hi Evan...maybe I was ..prob should have said halfway up ladder...I have had a Bresser telescope (and tried some binos while in Lidl) and it was definitely behind my current scopes...but then it was also less than half the price so they are very good value. This microscope itself as shown and mentioned gives excellent images ...its only let down by its poor quality mount.

Hi Edward Wow...no I haven't had that happen you had better check he is ok...Merry Xmas and carry on enjoying the Xmas spirit :)

Thanks for that V and the same to you :)

Thanks Tocsin I appreciate that,,,Merry Xmas

Hi Mark...yes I think you will probably find it's the same as any other modern car...mine seemed ok ...I think it was just the odd one like any other make and the nay sayers jumping on the bandwagon....let us know in a fresh comment how it is ..(youtube doesnt let me know when I get a reply to a reply only new comments so I sometimes miss them)

Hi Dennis (hope its Dennis) Lido? :) ...yes I know it's a typo :) ...A huge proportion of my reviews are yes from Lidl as it has great value tools and gadgets with a 3 year warranty and it's my weekly shop supermarket anyway so I am always in there. As regards links ...there aren't any links to the Lidl products themselves as they don't have a full website as such to buy them online they are only available in store. Any links I give in the description are usually to an item I have bought off Amazon I don't know what to suggest really...I do watch 1 USA tool review site called Project Farm (a huge channel with 3,3 million subs) he gets a lot from Harbour Freight so don't know if that is a help. Merry Xmas.

Thanks Paul Merry Chistmas to you too

Thanks Arne yes "Ill be back" (sorry but couldn't resist :) ) in 2025 and Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you too

Thanks Ant...hopefully ...have got one at least planned but not sure when it will be...Merry Christmas to you too

Hi Bob...yes that's true the built in leds are ok in certain positions but flexible moveable ones would be better,,,but then of course the price would increase and a bigger mount etc be required...a bright desk lamp is very handy

Hi Cornz ..yes Bresser stuff is good value like you say ...I mentioned in another reply I have had a Bresser scope in the past and it was ok,,,not as good as my current scopes but a fraction of the price and like you say much better than some of the low end "toys" ...this microscope as shown gives excellent image ...its only let done by its poor mount....in the new year I may have a go at printing a better one on my 3D printer and do a vid on it.

@@TomsManShed It's like Belkin or TP-Link. Cheap, functional and lets you experiment and play without spending big £$€.

Hi Ozzy...Thanks for the kind words it's made my day.....yes like you say those boxes have proved popular...I have had loads of family/friends ask about them (I don't do any prints for money just for gifts and swaps etc for chocolate/beer with friends) If you visit the "Makerworld" website you will find them with a search for "middle finger christmas present"...to credit the designer he is "majic723" I will have a think about doing a short about printing one and board game stuff...thanks again.

Thanks Gregg and Merry Christmas to you as well

And you Time and thanks again

Thanks Carl Merry (hot) Christmas to you and Angie as well...been following your tour :)

Thanks a mill Tom, ye it’s been 43c today …. shoot me now ! 🥵

Lol... :)

Hi Tim...Thanks for that will keep a look out for the foil version...not seen one yet in my Lidl...will get one and do a review if I do.

Thanks Matt I appreciate that...Merry Xmas

@ you too mate 🎄🎄

Hi Airbag ...yes thats just the way I did it (like I mention those little rod kits are well worth it ) ...there may be another way but from doing the same thing in my previous car a ZS EV it seemed the way to go. Yes that A pillar can be a pig ...the craziest bit I thought though on the MG4 was the fuse box access...its the only car I have ever had that I needed to remove a whole panel and not just a glove box or cover.

@@TomsManShed I think it is the first car I own where the fuse box is not at worse behind a single screw holding a trap door

Thanks for that Charles Merry Xmas

Thanks for that Lee

Yes its definitely bresser...lidl often have their stuff with them being german....i wouldnt say their telescopes/binoculars are "fine".... astronomy is one of my hobbies and i have an observatory attached to the shed(See my vids on it) with some good scopes like a celestron 9.25 sct and William optics etc on a highend mesu mount the high end Bresser units are in the "mid range and good value for money" class but not near the top end for optics .. i have had their scopes (like a bresser messier) in the past and like i say are not high end optics.

Hi ddjazz Thanks for the kind words...yes I think you are right ...alot of folk want bother doing all the taking pics etc ...especially if it nearly 3 years old and an inexpensive item ... at least it does work when needed .

That's a great idea...i keep mine in a bag in a drawer with other receipts but have to sift through them all if I need one your friends idea is much better.

Thanks for that Arne ...Merry Xmas to you too

Thanks Mutaka that's good to know

Thanks for that...yes I think you are right...I may look for a driver after Xmas ...I will add it to the description if I do find one

Thanks Greg and Merry Christmas to you too

Thanks Tim

Hi Vilebrequin...No that slipped through the net ...it seemed just 1 of hundreds of similar ones so never got round to it. I can say though that it is has worked brilliantly for all the time I have had it.

@TomsManShed thanks, Tom🙂. Enjoying your channel and no-nonsense approach, which is very refreshing. Have a great Christmas!

You too & thanks again

Hi Shadow... Thanks for the thanks. In answer to your question I don't know ..you would have to ask the designer/uploader that but it will be that it was designed before the multi plate feature in Bambu Studio Slicer.....some people might want to put different parts on different plates It would need someone to upload their version with all the parts on their respective plates into Makerworld for it to be downloadable already set out etc

Hi Mike ...Just from my light meter as shown at 14:43 measuring the old tube and at 16:59 measuring the new unit....it was placed in exactly the same place under the light. It doesn't measure lumens (I think you have to have a controlled environment to give comparison readings) I am no expert and dare say its not totally accurate but I read that a lux is a good way of comparing lights like this as its a measure of light over a certain area (1 lux = 1 lumen over a square meter) The fluorescent would definitely have been brighter when it was new but again they do lose brightness over time quicker than LEDS's

Thanks for the kind words I really appreciate it...yes I love mine here in the shed....as mentioned in the vid they do take longer to initially warm up than a fan heater but retain the heat better (the bigger and more fins the better) and are totally silent...I love mine here in the man shed :)

​@@TomsManShedit would perhaps also have been interesting to note how long the oil filled radiators carry on emitting heat after switching off (while cooling down); another added benefit😊

I didn't time it or show it but after final turn off they "feel" colder after about 10-15 mins. They will of course just cool down to the existing room temperature at that time and depending how well the room is insulated will then continue to slowly drop. This doesn't sound long but a fan heater would cool immediatly ....Like I say the hot oil will keep them warm for a while but nothing like as long as a proper old storage heater full of firebricks which stayed warm for hours.

Hi zednek...not sure what can be causing that you will probably have to ask the dealer...although if it is software related and they are like my dealer they don't usually have a clue...hope you get it sorted.

Hi Mike I disagree......it cost me £14.20 for the TWIN 4ft LED unit with a consumption of 43w The old 40w single tube was pretty dim as shown in the vid (76.2 lux) compared to the new LED ones (300 lux) If I had used just a single tube it would have been still been brighter and used only 22w. A new single 4ft fluorescent tube on Amazon inc post is £18 so actually dearer....none of them state the actual light output in lumens And like you say the LED's are HALF the price to run. So a my new LED one is cheaper to buy , brighter and half as much to run AND has a much longer lifespan If your existing fluorescent tube is bright enough and working then that's fine but when it needs replacing I cant see why anyone would stick with flourescent. "All that trouble"...it was a dead easy fit....in fact they do direct replacement LED "tubes" that fit the same unit so are exactly the same to replace.

Hi Pony...yes ...I answered this in the reply to the comment from "MrJohnthompson2008" below.....have cut and pasted it here ...hope it helps .yes from the main screen click "show more" in the blue bar halfway down the screen.....then at the top there is "energy usage" and "power" ...click energy usage and just below "bill of this month" and the GBP there is a little pen symbol ...click this and you can select "singular billing" or "periodic billing" then click Next. You then have to tell it how much your electric costs per Kw/hr as it obviously doesn't know what tarrif you are on ...if you are on the same rate all day click singular billing...if you are on cheaper at night (like me on Octopus Go) click periodic billing and fill in the price there. So a price of 30p per kw/hr you will enter as 0.3 GBP (my day rate) and 7.5p per kw/hr would be entered as 0.075 GBP...my cheap rate..(.but it rounds it up to .08) Set the hours of peak and off peak as well...when you click the circular dials saying weekdays and weekends you click all the bars in each (unfortunately you cant select half hours which is a shame as my cheap rate is from 11.30 pm to 5.30 am) column then the colour at the top so off peak is green and peak is red (mid peak blue not applicable to me) Then when you go back to the "dials" they should show green an red segments. Finally press "sync bill to all devices" at the bottom to tell all your plugs the rate It will then display how much a session has cost. Hope this helps. PS all this is on the software I have on my plugs...if you are on a different version screens may be different.

Thank you so much for this. Really useful

Hi Steve...see my other video. Its called something like "the good Start Rescue vs the bad and the ugly RAC" It chronicles my experience with "Start Rescue" ...after this terrible rac experience i joined myself and my daughter in Start Rescue due to it having good reviews...shortly after my daughter broke down ,(,broken drive shaft) on a roundabout at peak traffic time....they were brilliant..phone answered by caring person...regular updates and her car was being towed away 2 hours after phone call Full story in vid ...i dont know if its always as good but this first experience was excellent

Hi Numbertwo22 Yes the case is not great as cases go....very basic..BUT I just loved the way it looked...I don't normally like "cuddly" stuff but there was something about this case that I just had to have it...the colours...the OMG and the Pandas :)

​@@TomsManShed i find choosing a new case such a hard thing to do, none have everything i want, some are too similar to what ive got, some have pandas XD
