    I take constant breaks from it but I enjoy playing with this kind of stuff and get a real kick from overcoming problems. When I'm not working full time it gives me something to do that is NOT housework. ;)

    Well done for getting it sorted. As a matter of interest, can you buy the sockets those chargers plug in to? Might stick 1 on the side of my Freelanders so I can plug a charger in and make it look like its charging. Quite often the charging...
