I have emptied a car rad with one of mine to avoid the mess when taking the bottom hose off. Ran some waste oil through afterwards so it wasnt sat with water in it. Still working fine a couple of years on

Thanks for the feedback. I wouldn't expect corrosion to be much of an issue in my case as I use soluble cutting oil.
No worries. I misunderstood slightly when I replied - when I hear coolant I think cars! It only clicked afterwards! But hopefully still useful.
I got one of the 12v chargers from Lidl today, and it has one of my pet hates.......
.........the plug has a 13A fuse in it. why not fit it with a 3A fuse as its current consumption is 0.8A. and the cable is 0.75mm so that should be 6A max

Thanks, never thought to check that (not that you should have to!). Promptly replaced.
Must check mine too!

Lidl oil pumps are a bargain. I have had all sorts through mine. Diesel, petrol, parrafin and dirty oil. And it is still going strong two years later. I bought another two today. They are handy wee things for the price.
The battery chargers are good for the price but slow at charging.
I have a NOCO charger I use on my motorbikes as it has a lithium battery function.
As for jump starters, I've not seen them. They look any good ?
Might be a worthy addition along side my NOCO Jump starter. Any excuse for new equipment

I was in Lidl yesterday and didn't buy anything from the 'aisle of unneeded but handy' stuff. How good am I?

You need to seek urgent medical attention as you are obviously suffering some sort of mental aberration

Does my head in.
Everything comes with 13a. They must be the cheapest to make or something??
I’ve got a pot of them where I’ve swapped to the right ratings.

Well, I was on my way home from hospital, so you could be right....

Be careful posting statements like that, if the mods see it you'll be banned from the board!
