Re: Zombieverter board for sale - beta version

If you want to send me an address or I guess at least a zipcode then I'm happy to have a look for you?

Re: Zombieverter board for sale - beta version

Yes, they all needed some extra elements soldering. It's just that this one needed something replacing too as there was an error by the supplier. So all doable, just needs a little more manual intervention than the final product.

Re: Zombieverter board for sale - BETA VERSION

Happy to hear offers on this from anyone. I have no use for it any time soon and it just needs a new home.

Re: Zombieverter board for sale - BETA VERSION

No problem, I don’t think it’s any significant hurdle in the scheme of things, but I just didn’t get far into it myself.

Zombieverter board for sale - beta version

Hi all, I have one of the first 10 boards that Damien produced which were sold to some Patreon members for evaluation before the V1 was released. They were first described here . Unfortunately I had a change of circumstances shortly afterwards and was never able to put it into use. There was an inco...

Re: Registering and changing tax class of an EV conversion in the UK

You’re definitely right in the long term, but short-medium term, while a separate tax rate exists for aftermarket LPG conversions, I think their defence to legal challenge is very weak.

Understandable (all except the being 17 part!) - good luck with the saving & sourcing for the new plans.

Re: E46 Touring Project Engine Delete

Don't want to spoil your For Sale thread, but could I ask why you're thinking of changing direction on this? E46-GS450h is my medium term plan but not sure if I'm able to take this yet. Good to know if there are specific reasons you have for a different solution..

Re: Registering and changing tax class of an EV conversion in the UK

Sorry that’s not good news. I did think now though that it was fairly widely accepted that changing 2001-17 cars was not going to be allowed?

Re: Electric Vehicle Conversion Courses - Ireland 2021

Is there any chance existing dates will be reinstated when the situation and vaccination levels have improved? Or are you expecting to start from scratch again?

Was hoping by booking for May that I might have managed to avoid the COVID hangover into this year..

Re: Registering and changing tax class of an EV conversion in the UK

Bear in mind the only issue is getting free road tax, there’s no issue just keeping the registration as it is and paying the existing rate. Arguably if you’re paying someone else to do your conversion, you’ve got enough money to afford the tax anyway. It’s not that much for pre-2006 and especially p...

Re: Registering and changing tax class of an EV conversion in the UK

What counts as 'an inspection report for insurance purposes'? Does this mean, as I hope, that I can just get my garage to look it over and agree it's sound, rather than pretending to have done the work? Might this be similar to an insurance assessor who decides what level of write-off a car is clas...

Re: BMW hybrid battery group buy

It would have been good for the thread to be updated with that info, but thanks for passing it on LRBen. Is this not the type of situation that an escrow service could help facilitate? For additional fees could we not then engage some kind of shipping/distribution agent to take delivery and manage t...

Seems like there is some progress and the commitments should be in by the end of this we...
