Hi AW, The lens in CD players is quite delicately suspended in order for the radial & focus coils to continually move it into the correct position while playing a disc. Unless the classic lens cleaning disc has changed recently, they have a ring of small barbs/bristles that physically scrape...

Hi AW, I have a few points to raise here: I would suggest if you have intent designs on resurrecting your machine - please stop using the lens cleaning disc, in my experience these do more harm than good. You already mention that you have cleaned it manually. This should be sufficient. I...

Yes, I agree with you about customer reviews. I think I'm just being overly concerned about being bitten in the bum! The ceiling speakers appear to be car speakers, so I think I'm looking at 2ohm if they are wired in parallel. Unfortunately, pulling a new cable in really isn't going to be...

Thanks Lucid for your in depth reply. A bit more info - my next door neighbour has enlisted me to design & install a hifi system for her. There are already two speakers installed in the kitchen ceiling (which she would like to keep), but these appear to be wired in parallel. I have read some...

Hi, does anybody know of any mini hifi streamer systems, other than the Marantz Melody range, that has the ability to drive 2 pairs of speakers with independent volume controls? TIA

Fair enough - it does look like two after a second look.

Is that a black wire in the earth terminal? Edit: And why is there only one earth wire for two cables?

I used to have a Nextbase camera & the internal battery didn't last very long at all. After about a year or so, when I switched the engine off, the internal battery would die instantly meaning that the camera didn't save the last 3 minute capture. Not much use if an incident had occured. I got...

I would be wagging my finger at the person who cut the flex from the DP switch & left it sticking out like that.

You can also be safe in the knowledge that the log periodic aerial you now have will be significantly better than the DIY shed "digital" aerial you had before. Win win.

Thanks Adam - the HV was the part I was most unsure about.

I have a pretty poor understanding of these things, but I will tell you what I know in the hope that someone will come along & correct me if I'm wrong as this stuff interests me too. The incoming HV supply is 2 phase, or split phase 11kV, this enters the transformer via the two big insulators...

I had an 8th gen Civic a few years ago, while it was very reliable, the body panels & paint were very thin, the clutch pedal clicked incessantly (I eventually cured this), the FM radio reception was dreadful (kept dropping to mono even in strong signal areas) & occupants received agonising...

The rain sensor is the large bit, with the yellow sticker on it. HTH Neil.

Eveares, please stop using "what" when "that" is the correct word. I don't mean to be a pedant, but it really does make you appear to be far less intelligent than you have already proved to be.

Labgear refer to it as a"digital aerial" in the instruction manual. Screwfix are just relaying that information. To say they are "liars" is propostreous . Once again Winston, you contribute to the forum for no other reason other than to correct terminology or take the higher ground. Do one.

I would say that is an earth bond that goes to a water or gas main, which is interteresting as the supply looks like it has been updated from TNS to TNCS. What the implications (if any) of this are - I'm not sure. The wire looks to be green which has darkened with age. Hopefully someone who...

You can acheive the same effect if you ignore the door bell unless you are expecting somebody. Much easier & cheaper.

The phone plug does not look like it is pushed fully home in the socket.

I suspect the OP has probably got a new dishwasher by now - nearly 13 years later.
