General Discussion Area / Re: Police Are "Useless" - Reasons Why The Public Think So

Peter Hitchens has some interesting views on the subject.

I was amazed to read recently of a driver being prosecuted for being over the legal limit for Cocaine. How can there be a legal limit for Cocaine ?!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Reversing sensors stopped working.

« on: 02 September 2019, 19:09:41 »

So, Ive diagnosed a fooked speaker, which isn't a surprise. Connected up a speaker I have spare from a Bluetooth kit for test purposes and the beeps returned louder than ever. Much louder. Then tried connecting a front door tweeter, but the beeps were then so quiet they were almost inaudible. Istr RobG saying a long time ago the tweeter needs a mod - resistor added or removed ?
Must try and find it.
Also found some serious rust in the spare wheel well while I was in the area. Dug it out, treated it with rust killer for the moment. Got three holes there now, so the welder has to come out soon.

Had a look and seems knackered speaker is the favourite. Might have a spare in the cave. Second possible option is no power to unit.
Get the multimeter out I suppose. Still don't know if theres a fuse for the power supply to it though.

As above, don't even get the initial beep when put it in reverse. Where to start - do they have their own fuse near the rear somewhere ?

£2.80 a pint in my watering hole, which is very cheap as we are almost greater London.

Correa is apparently in a serious condition with leg and spinal injuries. Lets hope he heals ok.

Cages are no longer in use in single seaters. The car is built around an immensely strong carbon fibre tub, which the driver sits in.
This has ben the case since McClaren introduced the idea in the 80,s. No doubt it has saved many lives since, but there are limits to any safety device and yesterdays accident was one of those.
It happened up at the top of Eau Rouge where speeds are mind boggling. Watch the F1 race in just over an hours time and see just what kind of speeds are involved at that part of the track.
They know and accept the risks, but its always sad to see this happen. Particularly to one so young. RIP.

Swmbo insists on calling it Airfix one, so Im hoping to get some kind of sticker made with that on at some point.

Washed the Omega, hoovered the interior and changed a number plate bulb, then "improved" as opposed to fixed, the dented rear hatch on the Welsh C**o.

You should convert it to an Essex Cl*o. 

It'll probably go faster! 

I think Union flag on the front and one of those on the back. Cheers.

MS has been pestering me to install a Windows 10 update for a while, so last night I did. It took ages to install, so presumably a big update.
Since then, I cant access smileys on this or any other forum I use. I click on them but nothing happens.
Anyone know why ?
