Stupid questions about motorised conveyances

Talk about your cars etc here. Keep it sort of sensible and on topic please.

Is that an IP22 Mr Honda?
It is indeed an IP22 model, 12v/15A single output.

Bought for £112.75, shipped by Amazon, sold by "Nomadic Leisure" £110. (The extra £2.75 is the difference between UK and Irish VAT.)
You got a link please? That's almost £60 cheaper than I've seen.

3 output ones are dearer mind.

Do they do one without bluetooth? Seems completely pointless and added expense to me.

They do a IP65 car charger without, but it's only 4A.

The Bluetooth is useful to make your own custom charge cycle which is what I did here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4&start=870#p233415 as the standard cycle didn't seem to go on long enough and I had battery manufacturer's instructions on the parameters required.
ODYSSEY® Battery Reconditioning Charge Procedure
Scope:
Lead-acid batteries can develop reduced delivered capacity / performance after prolonged periods of storage, especially if the batteries were not periodically boost charged or left on a float / maintenance charger during the time of storage. The cause of this reduced capacity is the development of sulfation of some of the oxide on the plates. Sulfated oxide is discharged oxide and can be challenging to covert back to charged oxide known as lead-dioxide. Left unconverted, this discharged lead sulfate can develop even more hardened sulfate and could be non-reversible.

Action Procedure:
To hopefully reestablish full deliverable capacity, the following procedure is offered as a “reconditioning charge cycle procedure.”
1. Discharge the battery using the vehicle head lights or connecting some electrical load to the battery and discharge to 10.0V under load measured with a hand-held digital volt meter. Once 10.0V is achieved, disconnect the electrical load or turn
off the headlights or other electrical system or device.
2. Begin recharging with an approved charger as listed at www.odysseybattery.com and with appropriate amperage for the capacity of the battery, minimum 40% amperage of the 10 hour capacity rating of the battery. Utilizing chargers that
achieve 14.7V during charge and 13.6V in float are ideal. Monitor the batteries terminal voltage with the charger operating to assure 15.0V is not exceeded at any time. Charge the battery until the charging amperage seems to be near zero
amps and if the charger has a 13.6V float, float charge for 8-10 hours.
3. If the battery gets hot to the touch (exceeds 125⁰F), stop charging and allow to cool. Once cool, begin charging again until charge complete.
4. Charging times can be 6-10 hours depending on the charger amperage rating to the amp-hour rating of the battery. As an example, a 10 amp charger on an ODYSSEY PC925 would take approximately 7-8 hours to fully recharge.
5. Performing more than one discharge and recharge cycle is beneficial to increasing restored capacity.

For questions, please call 660-429-2165 and ask for ODYSSEY Support.

Suzuki ignis has a notchy box on occasion. Third especially. Occasionally grinds into third,more so when cold but if I go 4 to 3 its not bad. Done it all the time I've had it. Gearbox or clutch cable adjustment? Thanks

Would a modern have a cable clutch?
You could check the oil level or even do a fluid change Bub.

I thought the shiter's solution was to add sawdust to any mechanical oil lubricated device that is making noises that it shouldn't?

A louder radiogram would conceal the noise, its what all the cool kids are doing.
