What's the point of dual SIM mobiles? Can you have two different numbers on one phone? I have had NO luck at all with them. They don't seem to work with only one SIM. Or two for that matter! Comments welcome. Cheers Tony

I was looking at a possible move to lithium batteries but in my research stumbled across lead crystal batteries. They seem to offer oustanding performance at what seems to be a good price point. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Hi All, any advice on wireless rear view cameras ? Do they work on a 21 ft van? Which brands are best? I want to fit one to the back of our tow vehicle as well, and be able to switch from one to the other.
