Now would be a good time to check your fluids in the vehicles.

I think I might do a flush and renew my water/ anti freeze before the winter sets in proper

There was a product a long while ago which was a gel pack wrap (which they called a battery hot water bottle) which ran from an extension lead but I'm damned if I can find it anywhere sensible.
Besides I'm not a fan of ebay shopping.
Too many bad experiences.

this sort of thing?

as for ebay shopping, stick to well rated sellers and you cant go wrong, you can open disputes if it gets stupid and reclaim your money, 9 times out of 10 a seller will actively try and refund you/ resend the item...dont go for sellers with under 98% good feedback, higher is better

reason i know is cause we got an ebay business with over 20000 feedback, we're a large seller and we shop alot on there ^^

Thanks for that Hrusai, just what I'm looking for.
BUT, four attempts at buying online things at Ebay, 3 failures.
Got my money back though so that bit works as you say.
No, I'm remaining old fashioned now and for ever more.
I want to go to a shop.
You'll remember them I'm sure, quaint little things with people you can talk to
God I feel old!

Paul im the same dont buy stuff of the web. My lass does,you can get some good stuff, I just hate missing the postman and waiting for redelivery.

[bigpaul]

we buy a lot off ebay, buy something where they accept returns, if its no good then you can always send it back and get a refund. as far as postie goes we have our "Designated" place that only she knows if we are out.

[Hrusai]

yeah we got our own designated place too, local shop/ post office, my mum runs it xD so if we aint home its dropped off there

@paul and metro, i can understand you guys totally, i much prefer a personal touch and to talk to someone too

ill see if i can find that same heater somewhere else like argos

[bigpaul]

we live a long way from any kind of shop that stocks the sort of thing i want to buy(prep wise) sure we've got supermarkets, butchers, filling station the ordinary things, but if i want something for my preps the nearest shop is 25/30/40 miles away, its easier to order it on line and get it delivered right to the door.
