Thanks, I dont have any instructions for it but I think its a Landi Renzo
( not a bad name for a system on a Land Rover). The wires on the gauge are
green and black and they appear to go all the way back to the switch unit.

yep, the foundation cert in food hygiene is taught in industry as a
four hour course, with 3hrs of study, 1/2 hr revision, 1/2 hr test. 30
questions multiple guess, need about 25 out of 30 to pass. Reminds
me, ought to consider redoing my advance food hygiene cert as i took
it 1995, but is still considered valid!

GLASS have a nifty one made from an old beer barrel. Oil drums can be
made to last longer by adding sand into the base to absorb the heat.

I'll organise a date to use about 7000 acres near here somewhere late in
the year - should give you lot ample time to arrive. You bring your
toys and the fire pit, I'll provide the food, booze and fuel for fires
and vehicles.

Job for you Martyn - and you could buy yourself a nice wee country
estate here and commute to it in only 40 mins.

I'm not surprised, it is very basic and common sense. I guess with the
onlines stuff you work through a set of pages that impart the
information and are individually tested, only being allowed to move on
to the next one once you have passed the previous. Then have the
"certification" test at the end. Found a few doing the "Foundation
Certificate in Food Hygiene" (as it is now called) for £25 + VAT.

Not really, I'm a very particular, fussy, old bastard when it comes to
having things done. I am rarely satisfied about the standard and
quality "professional tradesmens" work. The idea of bringing in an
"unknown" doesn't, erm, appeal...

Getting off the M-F 9-5 must be a relief but I've never worked that;
even when I was an employee. I've been self employed for 13 years. I
don't think I could go back to being an employee, even on the
irregular hours I was on.

Nothing is ever _below_ my skill level!

Similar experience. i went to get the lpg system installed in my landy and
the guy said to my "we'll be using landi equipment" and for a little while i
wasn't sure if he was taking the **** or not.

have to say, living 12000 miles from the present govt. in this country and
the EU has a certain appeal... There are a few practical diffuclties though.
And there's no guarantee that the govt. in ennzed is or will remain any
better.

Tellyer wot I'd like to do, and that's go back to the days when you could
get to oz for 10 quid (OK, 10 quid was worth more then) and work on the
railway or somesuch for a couple of years.

I think the fuel consumption on the journey there might be prohibitive.
