Many thanks but a subscription based offering, even 'only' £10pm is more than i can justify or indeed i need :) Why subscription based anyway, is that beneficial in sone way, clearly i am uninformed :?

I've read conflicting reports whether it does or not,saying that I need to find where it is first.

Which unit/brand is recommended and how much of a pain is it to get to(i am relatively handy with spanners)

Many thanks.
