    Ok. I've fitted 2 tone car horns in place of 1 tone horn on my Renault Kadjar. The factory horn is weak. I'm attaching a photo of a waterproof scotchlok crimper connector which will connect 2 factory wires to new wires to horn. The car horn runs via 10 amp fuse. My question is: does anybody...

    Light Or Heavy Gauge PVC Conduit?

    Hi, Which do you guys use? I've bought the light stuff as it's going in a shed where there's not going to be any risk of mechanical impacts. It seems unnecessary to spend extra on the heavy stuff. Is the choice to use heavy gauge purely due to its greater mechanical protection and because...

    12 gauge wire UK usage

    I'm after a little advice I have a fair amount of 12 gauge hot neutral and ground cable. Is there any reason apart from the colours being different I can't use this in my upcoming extension? I believe from my basic research it will take 230volts and in the US they use it for 20 amp circuits, so...

    Hello all. Advice appreciated on running a 22m to 25m single gang extension cable from a domestic socket indoors, to an outdoor electric vehicle's own official 5m charging cable (which ends in a three pin plug). Nothing noteworthy about the wiring in the house whilst the charging circuit...

    Sensor Wire Gauge vs ECU

    Hi there, after endless searching of the mighty interwebs with no solid results I've found myself here with a question or two. If I were to replace the wiring for various ecu sensor inputs (such as the hot-wire mass air flow sensor for example) with thicker gauge wire, would the ECU still...

    Cable size gauge

    Judging cable size has always been a bit of a problem for me. I end up carrying around small pieces of various size cables for direct comparison to determine what size is installed - and doing this in front of customers can be quite embarrassing! I noticed on another thread someone mentioned...
