  • Just as we decided to leave the Kennet and Avon canal, we hear bad news. Benham lock has broken, big time. which is a few days cruising from us so if it's not fixed before we get there it could cause big problems. Today we set off from the Bridge inn, Horton on a lovely lockless cruise to All Cannings.

    You guys didn't have much luck on that canal. The car cleaned up well after a good scrubbing. The roof looked a lot better after it was cleaned. At least the batteries are working better on the boat now.

    Great about lithium guys but you will have to tweak on hybrid your victron smart mppt build in Bluetooth plus u can set temp on low temperature -5 its to stop charging cuz they don't like 😉 also bmv built in Bluetooth 712. Hope u sorted rod out andy hope u get off the k&A stay safe xx

      We are off the K & A now Steve and on the North Oxford it's an area we haven't seen. The lithium batteries we got Steve are in jackets so they are protected by the cold so they should be OK. Hope you are well? Xx

    The car looks great!!! The body is in really great shape and it's really sporty. I live in Vancouver and it's a rainforest. A 17 year old car here would be a rust bucket lol The shots were wonderful, they made my hear ache, such beautiful scenery. I've got a lot lo learn about batteries I'm afraid. I'm going to go with Lithium I think. The truth is I have no idea how anything works lol I've got time, I guess. lol Thanks for another great video. They keep me going until I can finally sell up and move there :)

    • @darkmatterxi

      Go with lithium in the first place. They are the best. In hindsight we should have bought them when we first got Olive. As for the car we love her. Let's hope she last longer than our previous cars. The mileage is low at 88000 which is great as our last 2 cars were very high mileage. We vowed we wouldn't get another high mileage car.

    Use Milton Sterilising Fluid ( or cheaper own brand )!on the soft top - use a paint brush to paint it on neat, leave it for 20 / 30!mins then water / soft brush off. Will bring all mould off

    • @darkmatterxi
      @darkmatterxi Год назад

      I have cleaned it with special cleaning fluid for soft tops and it has come up nice and got rid of the mould. But we will do that in future thank you as the proper stuff is expensive.

      I went to Corfu about 30 old years ago with my Mum and eldest son he was only 10 months old at the time and we loved it. It would be nice to go to other Greek islands in the future.

    2ghz connection on your router be slower with notifications for security camera it’s all 5ghz 6ghz now if it is slower try changing router channel to 1/6/11 gets less interference are dual band router

    I’m not surprised Andy doesn’t speak much. Let him speak it’s quite interesting to other battery users what he’s saying.

    • @darkmatterxi
      @darkmatterxi Год назад

      He has plenty of opportunity to speak. Half the time he doesn't want to I am afraid. Josh and I seem to get the blame all the time. In future vlogs it's just Andy and Josh so hopefully that will be okay for you. The battery situation is quite a sore subject for me as we should have got lithium in the first place and wouldn't have wasted so much money.

      @@darkmatterxi hi Diane. Yes I get that. I didn’t mean to be rude. We all raise our eyes at our other halves at times when they go on about something so I get it. Just that on a vlog it doesn’t come over well. Appears that you try to get him to speak and then when he does you both talk over him.
      I also get the wrong choices as well. ☹️☹️
