  OBD reader - does anyone have one?
Posted by: Brian - Sat-12-11-2022, 17:01 PM - Replies (3)

I'm in need of a bit of assistance please.

The engine management warning light has illuminated in my car. It's probably indicating a trivial fault, but the only way to be sure is to plug a reader into the diagnostic port. Does anyone have one that they'd let me use? I could drive to wherever you are, plug it in, read the code and go. You'll hardly know I was there...

I'd really appreciate any assistance!

Thanks,
Brian

  Soregies and SRD???
Posted by: Brian - Wed-09-11-2022, 09:22 AM - Replies (3)

Good day all,

I'm a bit baffled. Our electricity has always been supplied by Soregies. I can access my account via soregies.fr and send them my readings, view my contract details and bills, and make payment.

I recently had a Linky meter installed, having been given advance warning by Soregies. It appears that there is link between Soregies and a company called SRD Energies who actually fit and (I presume) manage the Linky meters. I set up an account at LinkyparSRD.fr and was able to see my daily consumption as re[ported by the Linky.

But... the daily readings stopped 3 days ago (last report 6th November), with the website reporting 'no data available'. As a bill is due around now, I looked on the Soregies website, where I was informed that I no longer have an electricity contract with Soregies. That's news to me as everything still appears to be working!

Has anyone else experienced this? Have Soregies merged with SRD? It seems very strange that there has been no communication about this by post, email or within the relevant websites. I'd love to hear about anyone else's experience.

  Tax Fonciere

It's my understanding the tax fonciere is due for payment around October. Should I receive a demand from the local Marie and when? Is it possible to set up this and the tax d'habitation on direct debit? Thanks.

  La Chasse, September 2022
Posted by: Brian - Sun-11-09-2022, 08:04 AM - No Replies

It's September 11th today and the start of the hunting season for La Chasse.

If you're out for a walk look out for the signs of La Chasse. Their operations are usually very obvious with signs, high-viz vests and sounds of gunfire, but every year stray gunfire causes injuries or death. It's worth keeping your wits about you when it in the countryside.

Thumbs Up Need to find a club or activity?
Posted by: Brian - Tue-30-08-2022, 11:44 AM - Replies (2)

We're lucky in Montmorillon that there are a great number of clubs, associations and activities with which to get involved. But how do you discover them?

The easy answer is at the Forum des Associations.

This annual event is a showcase for over 120 societies in Montmorilon and the surrounding area. Each club has a stall and people to explain more - and sign you up if you like!

This year's event is at the Espace Gartempe on 16, Boulevard du Terrier Blanc on Sunday 4th September. Doors open at 09:00, and access is free and doesn't require pre-booking - just turn up. See you there?

There's a Facebook page but it doesn't tell you much more that I've already said  Doh

Does anyone know where I can find a qualified installer to fit a log burner in my house in Montmorillon?  They would need to speak English as my French is not up to technical discussion.

  Linky Meters
Posted by: Brian - Thu-21-07-2022, 18:32 PM - Replies (6)

I had a letter from Linky SRD today informing me that Soregies (my electrical supplier) has decided it's time for my property to move to the 21st Century with a Linky meter. It's not going to help me very much, I suspect, as I submit my readings to Soregies for each bill and have power usage meters on devices that I know can prove expensive, but I don't seem to have a choice!

Does anyone have any experience with Linky meters that they could share, whether reassuring or terrifying? I can cope...

  Free cardboard boxes
Posted by: Peter_Grimsditch - Thu-21-07-2022, 14:01 PM - No Replies

I have 40 cardboard cartons I used to move my books from Gers. All but around five in good condition and reusable. Still made up as boxes. I haven't flattened them.

There are also three jumbo coxes that contained a bedsettee from IKEA. As new.

And about half a dozen in between.

All in Saint Leomer.

Cheers

Peter

  Haze and smell of smoke 18 July 2022
Posted by: Brian - Tue-19-07-2022, 13:57 PM - No Replies

Good morning all,
If you were, like me, greeted by a faint haze in the air and a whiff of smoke when you went outside today, don't be alarmed.

The wind is now coming from the south west so is blowing the smoke from the Gironde forest fires (South of Bordeaux) in our direction. If tonight's promised rain arrives on schedule, everything should be clear and fresh again tomorrow.
