Take no notice of the nasty boys Daz and Nathan!

 I love your posts - you're an inspiration to aspire to in "glass half-full'ism!"

 ;D
It's a game of three halves!

We all have problems! I upgraded my switch panel adding a voltmeter, tds meter and a water temperature guage, lots of illuminated switches etc.
Could I get the water temperature guage to work, all wired up ok but wouldnt work. A week later and its working fine.
Looking forward to seeing my toasty temperature in the morning.

This is one of the most entertaining threads for ages and I haven't even got a hot system ;D
Nippy this morning but I'm just relieved I haven't spent thousands on a diesel heater >:(
Oh well I'll just have to manage  :o

Daz, Im glad you got your system and your happy with it. I've been thinking of buying one for years but can't justify the spend in my head even though I squander money on other gadgets on a regular basis.

Each to their own but I love mine and don't regret it one bit.....in fact I'll be cleaning all  the windows at my girlfriend's house today and all the cars!love it!

Wow Daz, is that you're idea of a great weekend?
Footy and beer is better ;D

Same here - never mind immersions, imagine if you’d spent thousands on a diesel heater and then your fuse went on your battery to battery smart charger .... the downside of fuses eh

Why would I need a duvet when it's 4 degrees minimum temp?
Only use a duvet for frosty nights
Last year I used it about 10 nights max

No unfortunately without hot water Nathan didn't last long, it may be a while before he replies.

If you added up all the time people are out in there garage sodding about with Emmersions etc it would amount to days,just drop your van off and pick it up job done well worth the money those heaters all day long for just  the hassle they save you.

Its not been my week so far. My phone died and i phoned up to see if i took insurance out, only to find out i hadnt and to get out mu contract and renew with them would still cost over £600. So upgraded wifes phone to the new s9 so i could nab her old phone  :'(

The immersion had a loose connection, so all is good on that front now 😀

-2 at work this morning in Scotland. My pole was even warming my hands up.  :D

Had mine 4 weeks and it’s the best thing I’ve done since powered reels.

Daz gets a hard time as people say he is trying to convince others that a diesel system is worth the buy.....I think equally there is quite a few on here trying to convince themselves otherwise.

Funny old world ae?  :)

If you weren’t on here so often Dave you might be out earning enough to buy 1 and not miss the money pal.

Did you ever hear of gloves ? and for you guys its more about convining yourselves that its money well spent  than it is about convincing others, I can clean just as quick and to the same srandard as you with cold water and if I want supple hoses and a bit of frost protection  which lets be honest is the only real advantage then a £30 immersion will more than do.

I'm fortunate to live far south enough not to need it.
If I lived where temperatures fell to - temps on most nights throughout the winter and in to the following day then it seems like a worthwhile investment. There were probably only 3 or 4 days last winter where it stayed so consistently cold that I could not possibly have worked. Even with hot water I'd probably have chosen not to - I earn and save enough through not spending out on a hot water system to stay in the warm and put my feet up when I choose to. For all the other cold winter days, if I want a bit of added comfort, I stick a pair of gloves on. I don't need to convince myself otherwise. Daz has worked hard and built a round up over a long period of time. If he wants/needs that bit of luxury to do his job ( required or not ) then good for him, he's earnt it.
