Thanks for that. I'm coming to the conclusion that perhaps its best leaving things as they are, so much could go wrong. By the way, I've just had a telephone 'estimate' which would be subject to a site survey. £11,500 approx. That covers the use of Tobermore 100x200x60 blocks. Bullnose edging...

Thanks so much for your detailed contribution. It will provide greater insight when I get subsequent quotes. Pity I didn't know this prior to the two previous contractor visits.

Thanks for that. Any idea of approx. cost per M2.

Coventry.

Obviously going to have to get more quotes. Out of interest, I found the contractor for the lower quote on trusted traders. They had over 200 positive reviews, I must say I tend to treat some with suspicion. The provider of the higher quote is a small local business (deals only in brick...

This appears to be an absolute minefield, the deeper you look into it.

Prior resolving this myself I had mailed them twice without success, the only response was; ‘We're currently experiencing a high volume of calls and emails, and are working our way through each enquiry as quickly as possible.’

A few suggestion offered, but the one that resolved the issue was a 'Reset of the TV's power output'.

Yes. But Richer Sounds are very slow responding. Issue now sorted thanks to input from a contributor on ‘AVForums’

I purchased a Sony-KD55XH9505 in November 2020. From day one it has been connected to a Yamaha YAS 101 sound bar and has performed perfectly. Last week the audio output suddenly failed, something I attributed to an Optical Cable malfunction as my DVD player still functioned via an Audio Digital...

While waiting for delivery of an enclosure to try and save the dada, I've had another look at this today and the only thing to report is that when a CD/DVD is inserted into the drive it endeavours to read it? Don't know if that’s encouraging or not.
