Well that didn't go to plan did it pal...😂😂 By the way my nan was welsh and its pronounced DOL-GETH-YOU.... ..!! With a spit like the Welsh do lol. You're a nice bloke Brendan & know things going against you now especially with the car troubles but chin up pal....things always have a strange way of sorting themselves out. Take care & don't give up.............

Dolgellau is pronounced Dol (as in a girls doll) Gell (best way is to say Gel, not the hair stuff but as if you were beginning to say Get, hold the L and gently blow through your mouth) Au (just say I as in I am). So Doll-Gel(blow)-I. Can't wait until you visit Llanfair PG.

I tried the 40w pipe heater that gets hot but doesn't change the temp in my little van and I was running that all night via an inverter off main car battery shame really maybe the 80w would do the job but don't think my car battery would handle that as that's 800w in 10 hours so would only leave 300w of battery to start the car no idea on voltage tho .having to run the car for couple of hours now to get the edge off
