OVO Raising Direct Debit again! Only 3 months after previous complaint

I don’t understand why they are like this. They tried to increase to £280 a month despite my own calculations showing I would be well in credit by the start of winter. We are on a 2 year fixed tariff. They eventually agreed to £220 but now emailed 3 months later to say it’s going up again! It says in the email it’s due my usage going up but it’s gone down since April! And will keep falling as we have holidays booked.

If they refuse to keep it the same again I’m going back to octopus. I will have to pay the exit fee but I don’t care at this point. Never had this issue with other suppliers.

Thanks for the info on the camera lens!

Just an appreciation post for my questions about camera lenses, they checked my bag and said nothing about my zoom lens. It was an amazing day! Here’s some pics (amateur photographer)…

False theft alarm

We seem to be getting repeated theft alarms even though it’s sitting there on the drive! Anyone have any ideas how I can sort this issue?

Inner Track - where to stand

My first time going to the Inner Track at Silverstone this week. Does anyone have tips on where best to stand to see the drivers arriving to the track? I’ll be in there only on the Friday, so hoping it might be quieter and drivers more relaxed about greeting fans

E-bikes / all bikes doing wheelies

Have I missed something? Is there a new online trend where you have to wheelie everywhere you go? It really is driving me nuts. And is anything being done about it? The roads have turned into their playground. And they don’t realise how dangerous it is. One slip and they are under a car. Probably would traumatise a driver for life. And what if there were kids in the car. They are usually swerving side to side showing off, but every time I see one, as I’m a cautious driver, it puts me on edge as I’m planning to brake in case they fall. And there’s no way to report it as they all wear balaclavas.

Condensation pump needed or not?

I am thinking of getting AC installed asap (I’ve been thinking for years now). I know most use a condense pump to get rid of condensation, but is it absolutely necessary to have a pump? For example if there is enough fall on the condensation pipe can it be routed into an external drain pipe?

Only reason I am reluctant is that I deal with these small condensation pumps on heating boilers and they are a big point of failure. Also I don’t particularly want any plastic trunking on show which is where these pumps are usually installed.

Climate control off but air still coming through vents?

I’ve recently become aware of air blowing through the vents when the van is moving but when the climate control is off. When I’m stationary no air comes through. Is this normal? Air is clearly passing through the front air intake to the vents when driving.

Considering my next van choice after having a wonderful T6.1 but after many repairs i gave the Buzz a chance due to a lack of VW options.

Really didn’t want the Ford variety of Transporter but I’m missing the Kombi 5 seats.

I was wondering if anyone had any sales figures of the new Transporter vs Transit? Surely the VW sales have taken a beating. And the Ford sales up? As what’s the point buying the VW when it’s basically a Ford and with Ford you get more for your money.

To avoid the wet belt I was considering the e-Transporter but its battery is inferior to the Buzz (Ford built battery). Does anyone have any real world experience of the new e-Transporter?

I was updating photoshop on my mac via the Creative Cloud app and the update failed for some reason. Tried to restart the mac and now photoshop has vanished from Creative Cloud and in my app dock photoshop is greyed out with a crossed out circle over it. Should I just uninstall and reinstall it?
