Asian food markets in Kent

Went for a bit of shopping in Maidstone last weekend and stumbled across a huge Korean food market, a very pleasant surprises.

Are there are similarly large outlets for Indian food markets in Kent ?

Oct EV / Charger / App

Hello.

Long time Oct customer.
Recently took our a lease with Oct for a Vauxhall Frontera
And this included a free install of the Oct EV charger.

Just getting to grips with charging and unsure if the app is just bit silly or if there is an issue that i need to give Oct a call about.

I have it set up to top by with 80% by 6am.
Ideally i want it to top up TO 80% and not by 80%
Is there no option for this ?

I'm getting a warning some nights saying charging has failed.
but its not clear as to why.
I think what it's trying to say is that it could not add 80% as there wasn't a need or capacity to add 80%

Is it just the app being special ?

the car is charging just fine.
but you know how some of us are...
We like everything to be green and ! next to anything makes us twitchy.

Double Shrooms

Got shroomed last year
To be fair the plant was very healthy and produced a lot of fruit
It survived the winter and is now doing really well

However this years new Scotch Bonnet seems to have gone the same way

Next year I’m going to try harvesting some seed direct from a supermarket SB

Finds information concerning pump Onga 462E

My pool pump (of unknown age) has started to make some annoying grumblings.
Apart from the sound it was working just fine.

I have replaced it with a cheap mass produced unit and now realize the new unit is utter tat.
Less flow, less pressure and just as noisey.

I'd like to service my old unit and replace the front/rear bearings.

but all worlds super computers can't seem to find much information.
So i will have to google like it was the 2020's all over again.

The unit is an Onga 462E which i understand were an Australian company who are now of Pentair.

I cant source any real information and that's becoming frustrating.

A tear down video would be nice, but maybe it's a little obscure for that.
a blow up diagram with part numbers would be nice but alas.

I have contacted Pentair and await a reply from them.

Purchasing Laptop for remote user in Brazil

Update:
Thanks for all the feed back.
In the end we approved for the users to purchase locally and expense the purchase.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have one remote user based in Brazil who requires a new laptop.
Our regular supplier (Softcat) do not have any distribution in that location.

When looking at the Brazilian HP site it refers to CPF/CNPJ
The remote user doesn't want us to use their CPF as they feel it will have an impact on their tax.
We do not have a CNPJ as we do not have any registered offices in Brazil.

Our closest location to Brazil would be in the US.

Am i missing something ?

Regards
C.

Smoke

Dacia Duster 2016
1.5 DCI

Driving at motorway speeds and this happens.
it has happened before where it put out a little puff of smoke but then drove normally.

tried to nurse it to the next junction but the engine eventually came to a stop.

Recovery came about 90 mins later and i explained the situation.
He was able to start the car and drive it onto the flatbed without any issues.

The car was recovered home and again started up and drove as normal.
the mechanic did a diagnostic's of the car and it didn't give up any faults.
Mechanic could not offer up any obvious issues as to him it all looked normal.

but the dash cam footage is not normal is it.

Unless someone can tell me it's an obvious thing to look for.
i will take the car and the video to the garage this week

lid for Greek Cypriot Foukou

https://preview.redd.it/i41rlwbl525h1.png?width=599&format=png&auto=webp&s=11aad92bd972b459ac4ecf875ee09b77a7a6647c

I have one of these type of BBQ's that i purchased many years ago.
i have added a decent mains motor.

in the past when Rotisserie larger pieces of meat, i have tried (very poorly) to fashion some kind of cover out of tinfoil in an attempt to retain some heat and create a type of oven.

i do like the BBQ and have no desire to replace it ( i also have a gas hot plate for burgers etc)

Any suggestions or directions to a DIY or off the shelf lid solution?

would the lid need to provide 100% cover ?
i think it would only be used when cooking on the middle horizontal spit
the small spits cook too quickly to need a cover.

Pump making a bit of noise

Opened the pool today and the pump
Is making a right noise

It’s an Onga 0.3 HP pump of minimally 8 years old

Clearly the bearings are shot

I’m a bit handy
Is this a diy repair
Are the parts likely to be available

My char is doing ok P169 T7, but still lacking a few important parts.

I have read that you can take the protection pilon and wait to become overwhelmed.
but with no way to remove my minions am i just asking for trouble.

im not ready to murder my char just yet.
