Solved the issue of the stupid light switch behind the door. It controls just the lounge and kitchen lights at the moment. Its set up for different dimmed settings.. just lounge on full... lounge and kitchen on full... and 3 variously cool dimmed setting. Gonna add more to it as time goes on, and add the wifi link so i can control all the lights via my iphone  :notworthy:

Just to demonstrate... ive changed the setting since this was filmed.

Where did you get the bottle from Matto?

Ive got a Karcher one, which is ok but the bottle is tiny and the foam is a little bit too watered down for my liking!  :happy2:

Nip to your local b&q and get a bottle for £1 or something

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box

Do you mean you have got the Karcher shampoo sprayer???  :sick: :sick: :sick:

If so chuck it in the bin :wink:

You need to spend £45+ (I think they are still this price) for a proper Foam Lance. The metal valve regulates the air mixture with the soap which makes the foam.

My lance can squirt out the thickest foam known to man if needed……(thats not a euphemism)  :ashamed:

I bought my Lance off ebay along with 5L of cherry snow foam from these guys……

The one ive got looks like this (But without the adjuster)



Think i need to invest in a proper job!  The Karcher one does a job but it was only £20 so i guess its not going to be as good as those above.

Thanks for the info

I bought the one you're talking about - yellow bottle, no adjuster? Honestly, it was like hosing soapy water on the car! When you buy a proper one, the difference will be like night and day.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
