This is despite only having one functioning limb. Obviously I rejected their offer.

Paperwork said cost was £160 a day. The 2 months I'd have needed it for would have been more than buying a new bike. Yes this is a scam pushing up our insurance costs.

It's ridiculous. Not sure about with CN but reckon if you'd checked the paperwork it would state you are liable if it goes pete tong. I can't believe claiming for a bike you can't even ride seems to wash - but apparently so.

Answer: when it's ducting.

I have an old extractor fan which I'm going to repurpose in the garage, it has an exact diameter of 4 inches. 4 inches is 101.6mm. If you purchase 4 inch ducting it is 100mm and I don't think anyone makes an adaptor. I was planning on using rigid ducting but I think I'll now have to use flexible ducting and ram it on the fan to use the technical description.

I suppose this is why we have duct tape.
Think you're best to do that! They don't make them like they used to. A friend's house burned down and the cause was a timer unit frying in a bathroom fan, I've just been shopping for one and lots of reviews of the top brands state complete failure within a year or so or burning. I settled with a Manrose but my minor gripe is that it has loose flaps...maybe that's more to do with my 4 inches
