wow... humm wonder if i should show my student shared bathroom?  

Looks great Tim, an iPod would fit right in there very modern looking  

OK, now this has gone way too far!  Modern looking, what is this the eighties?!?  I'm sorry, but that's what black and white says to me, 80's yuppie.  

I'm not saying that blonde scandinavian is much newer looking, early nineties  

Can't really say what a modern style is.  Lately espresso has been really popular, but a little goes a long way.  Or maybe 'modern' has been overdone and in my old age I like 'traditional'.  :-/

 

I think it looks nice and clean colours... i was a nipper in the 80's so would't know  

Its a hell of lot better that our student bath room, the landlord had the great idea of painting the green tiles white with some special tile paint, but forgot to varnish it. Its peeling off now!

Do the dash lights go dim when trying to start?

nope i get no dash lights at all.

With the jumper box on, i get power eg the full beam lights.

But turn the ignition on, all i get its "Auto" on the climate dash, nothing else. No lights below the dials.

All that happend when i pressed on the remote "open" with the engine running and the key in the barrell

Posted at lunch time, should be there tomorrow....early!

 

You in luck, tomorrow is my interim presentation on my final year project. Its at 9:30 on campus  

so have to leave here at around 8:10 if i am taking the bus!  

Your a life saver Mark, you fixed my remote and sending it back quicker than its taken machine mart to send me my battery charger!

I had another fiddle with the car yesterday, re-connected the battery and my jumper box, failed to turn over just trys to, but barley gets a full turn.

Interesting though i have enough power for full beam lights  :-/

When i get the key back, going to connect it all up again, then unlock and lock via the remote. Hopefully that should get things going again  

Once again thanks Mark

On the rare occasions I get to do soldering these days at work.....it requires a micro scope!

Thats just your eyesight going due to age

I had not done any in ages, but when project B came along, TB got his gas powered one out!! Never seen one before.

Serious stuff that, the only one i have is draper budget one!
