On Newsnight (Wed?), Zia Yousef stated that there were certain elements of the Act which will be amended. In particular those which disadvantage white young men. Rees-Mogg was also on the programme and was quickly shut down by Victoria Derbyshire, as he 'shockingly' AGREED with Zia's comments...

Went to Cyprus one year when kids were teenagers. Plenty of beaches with the added convenience of an overnight ferry/coach to visit Cairo museum and the pyramids.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c3dzxk7rn43t In 1982 it was the BBC who informed the world that the Argentinian bombers were not fuzing their bombs correctly during the Falklands War. Here they are again telling the world where the US Navy is as they prepare for potential action. When you...

This is a posting I made in 2020, which tells a story where fate played a big part in my life. In 1941 a Royal Marine boy bugler had just passed his basic training with his best mate when they were both approached by their instructor that a battleship was about to sail from Portsmouth and the...

Nothing seen in response to my emails requesting info :( Intention now is to replace batteries, rebuild ROV and test it in the bath. :D

Up to now, I have been trying to find details of the manufacturer (which I believe is China based) rather than ROV retailers. I have sent twinhorse robotics an email, so will see what response I get. Cheers Doug

Its not net migration that is worrying people. Its the continuous influx of illegals.

Cant find any links for Thor Robotics to seek information regarding user/maintenance manuals. Any thoughts guys to help me out? Cheers Doug

Hi All I have acquired a Trenchrover 110 ROV which has been stowed in a shed for over 2 years and the previous owner cannot remember whether it worked correctly before being shedded. Both batteries in the workstation and ROV are dead, but that is the least of my problems. I have managed to strip...

Lid off....checked all connections....PCB showing no obvious damage.....no change! During this time my wife has checked out Which? and already has her eye on a replacement. The machine has served us well and now is the time to bite the bullet and admit defeat. Cheers Doug

Cheers both I have tried both Diagnostic Mode and Child Lock, but sequence does not change the indications as shown on my pic. It seems that the programmer has 'frozen'. :(

Hi Guys My 10yr+ old washing machine has packed up. The pic shows the indications, and no matter what I do with the buttons/door/power they remain unchanged. The door will open and close ok. The wife is now using it as excuse to buy new......but not on my watch if its fixable. It has never let...

Trump now declaring he is in charge of the country. This is going to be an interesting watch.:unsure:

I've now made up the ROV connector, but the ROV battery is drawing 0 amp when connected to the 12v charger. The ground station draws 1 amp when on charge. I need to now establish if the 12v from the charger is getting to the ROV battery. This involves stripping down the pressurised/waterproof...

The battery pic is that of the ground station suitcase which is accessible. The pic of the 2 pin socket is that of the remote ROV. Both use the same charger, which I have and it fits ok to the ground station. But its the adapter to connect to the ROV which is missing. I'm happy with the...

Thanks Countryfan - I'm managing it on an 'electrics' thread.

Newcastle was always a popular destination for Royal Navy ships to visit for R&R. In the 80's the local liaison officer would hire a night club/dance hall for a ship's company dance and put out personal invitations to local nurses and others. I have hazy memories of some good times there. :)...

My multimeter is showing -0.21v dc when connecting pos to pin 1 and neg to pin 2. And +0.21v when leads are swapped. Will go with pin 1 -ve and pin 2 +ve I've also sent an email to the model website. Cheers Doug

Thanks all I've now purchased a suitable SP13 connector. Just need to establish which is +ve and -ve for pins 1 and 2 to wire up the charger. Unfortunately the battery is in a sealed box so unable to see its wiring arrangement. Is there a standard convention for possibly 1 = +ve and 2 = -ve...

Just checked again. My socket has a keyway between pins 1 and 2, but the diagram in your link shows no key. :( Edit - I've ordered it as the data specs appear to match my own. Will see what turns up ;)
