Dun't bother with the solar. Start and run the engine for 5 mins each week. There's enough power generated on tickover to give the battery some charge. In winter yer may need to run it for 10 mins.

Clocks go back today.

Anyone know how to recalibrate a "more powerful than usual" torque wrench? I have a funny feeling that my one is a bit dodgy. Having just swapped out a front hub. I don't use it much.
