Another great idea? - Chas

Saw this in a trade magazine touting for UK distributors. £44.90 seems a lot for a capacitor.....

Maybe it's my filthy mind working overtime, but at first glance I could have sworn your link read: "vibrator.co.uk"...

Hmmm.... I thought the voltage regulators built into modern alternators were pretty good at this sort of thing.

This paragraph is priceless:
"The VIABTOR has been approved with reference to EU´s EMC directive 2004/108/EC. For your safety and for ours, and to guarantee that the VIABTOR has no negative impact on your car in any way what so ever."

No negative impact? That's reassuring for £50. I could plug an empty connector into my cigarette lighter socket which wouldn't have a negative impact either, and it would cost me a couple of quid tops. What is desperately lacking in this whole spiel is evidence of any positive impact.

But it's been tested by the German TUV. Doesn't give the results, but I'm sure they were excellent :)

I suggest this forum member is banned for 6 months.

P.S. special offer on Spartacus beaded nipple clamps :)

Me too. :-)

I like their reason for the car manufacturers not fitting them as standard, I have a better reason for not fitting one. Are people really that gullible?

I have three sockets in my car so I have ordered three. Should see quite a saving.

Clamp a magnet to the fuel line and you'll have to stop every few miles to take some petrol out.
