    MECER 1200VA INVERTER lithium compatibility

    Voltage inaccuracy is quite common on the Mecer type inverters. I now always setup the voltages using a voltmeter, and do not rely on the inverter setting or the display. This is especially important with lithium batteries

    Aftermarket immobilisers

    In the 'old' days, protection of your car from theft, often involved an immobiliser and anti hijack remote, or gearbox lock, or both. We have advanced now to keyless ignition, and remote locking, but the criminals seem to have kept up with technology. Are the traditional Auto guard immobiliser...

    Samsung and Apple Tracker tag

    Has anyone used a tracker tag to keep tabs on their car? Seems this inexpensive device could potentially be a threat to the established car tracking companies. Or will they start installing them instead of their proprietary devices?

    3rd party payment websites (Payfast, Netcash etc) - safe to use?

    I agree, but getting fraudulent credit card transactions reversed is very time consuming. I reported 3 small credit card transactions to FNB (all less than R100) last year, and I am still waiting for a response. Contacting the call center to report the fraud was a 40 min call. I cancelled my...

    3rd party payment websites (Payfast, Netcash etc) - safe to use?

    Payfast makes one register, can use 2FA, and will debit credit or cheque card. Netcash takes your bank login details and authenticates via online banking. It may be handy for someone who does not have a Visa/Mastercard, that wants to do an EFT, but seems risky!

    Expiry date on tyres?

    Have just bught a Hyundai 2011 1.1 GLS Motion The Dunlop SP tyres have date stamp 2019 in front and 2017 at rear, and there is quite a bit of road noise. Quite a bit of tread still left, so the car did not get driven very much. When does a tyre expire and have to be replaced due to age?

    Can a 14" rim be used as spare on car with 15" rims?

    My son has a Fiat Strada with 15" mag rims. He is running around with no spare, so I thought I would try and find him a spare rim. Looks like the Fiats use both 14" and 15" but the rim must have 4x98 hole spacing 58 centre bore. Italian standard for Fiat and Alfa. Can a temporary spare use...
