It's worth checking for spyware, malware and other gremlins also. Sometimes fans overwork when the computer is infected. Also, from a purely personal experience perspective......... Are you using the google chrome browser? If so, and if you do find malware and spyware, I'd recommend removing...

Can you confirm if the speakers have their own amp? If so, this surely must be a potential reason? I know you say it worked in a neighbours PC, but that could be a software/driver or soundcard compatibility issue also. I once had a philips ultimate edge soundcard with 5.1 surround ability. It...

Europe is region 2. USA is region 1, I think, and so on. A US DVD won't play on some DVD players in Europe unless they are region free. PCs can change the region of their DVD drives, but only a certain number of times(often 5 times), so you could end up ''stuck'' to a region you may not like to...

Ripping to MP3 is correct as danechip says. There are several softwares out there that can do this. I use an older(well the version I have is old anyway!!) software called lavavo and it works great. I think that real player and windows media player both have rip capability by now. So once you...

May need to be reset. If you decide to go down this road, make sure you have your username and password(if it is not set to remembered) to get back onto the internet. It could be that the wireless adapter in your sons computer is on the blink. If your sons gaming computer is a laptop(not...

There are very simple ways to discover peoples passwords in a few obvious steps in most browsers. Always better to use software as suggested.

Thanks guys. You've both been very helpful through this thread. :) And patient too! I did connect a temporary earth between the boot and the boot lid, but it didn't change anything just yet. Perhaps when I fix the harness/clip into the reverse light. :)

double post

John, I did double check the brake lights. That wa when I found a single filament bulb where a double should have been. They're all doubles now. Could they be faulty in some other way, despite the fact that they are working perfectly, it's the window mounted one that isn't!!

Guess this is what I need. http://www.bristan.com/epages/Bristan.sf/AU_en/?ObjectPath=/Shops/Bristan/Products/%22J%201HBSM%20C%22 But I cannot find it in B&Q, Homebase or Woodies DIY. :(

Our bath tub has a corner mounted single mixtap. Something like this: http://ak1.ostkcdn.com/images/products/P12258946a.jpg Basically move the lever right for cold water and left for hot water. So with that in mind the bath tub only has one single tap outlet. We are looking for a duel...

Hi John. Jut back from Halfords and and they don't tock the clip. So I'll have to go to the dealer for the revere light clip. I did pick up a ring terminal though. The reason I think the brake light/heated window issue is connected is because when I engage the brake pedal, the switch for my...

John, thanks again. Between the car and my broadband I'm running around like a lunatic here!!! :) Anyway, hopefully today, but maybe tomorrow I aim to get this soldering done. I will keep you updated! :) Is there any chance that this repair could have a positive affect on the window mounted...

:) Yeah, 2 reverse lights for sure! Is the bulb test just to make sure it works? Because I have tested the bulb and the case that holds it on the opposite side and they work when switched around. So if that much is sound, I could solder a new wire from the blue and white good side to the...

Thanks John. The Skotchloks are on the brake lights actually. There aren't any skotchloks on the reverse lights, but I guess they could link up and it could still be a skotchlok, even if it is on one of the brake lights. There is no signal coming from either wire through the earthed tester...

Not getting any signal from that part of the plug, which is strange? I guess it must be the earth to the foglamp? If I Splice and change that, maybe I'll be sorted? Perhaps a breaker would have a plug to plug cable that could do the job? Any chance that fixing this could fix the brake...

Broadband still on the blink. Getting short sporadic bursts of connectivity!! I managed to get this pic uploaded though. http://www.troovi.com/aVZWZeoaNFaT It's the reverse light clip, showing the butterfly clip is broken on one side and showing also exposed and frayed earth cable...

Ok John, I'll get the picture up as soon as I can. My broadband is acting up and I cannot stay connected for long enough to upload the picture at the moment. It is just the earth side of the butterfly clip that is broken so that it can't be squeezed free on that side. You just squeeze on one...

But I'd still have to connect to the dodgy reverse light terminal too right? In the brake light wiring, can I use the empty terminal in the 6 terminal plug for my new earth cable? OR will I have to try to slip it in the same terminal as the current earth.

Thanks as always John. I'll do those new earths tomorrow and let you know how it goes! Is it ok to use a new spot for the earth? There is a metal nut doing nothing in the middle of the boot door which would be ideal for the reverse light. :)
