General Discussion Area / Optical Cable (toslink) choice

« on: 09 June 2013, 21:07:06 »

For the first time every, I find myself in need on an Optical Cable (toslink) for Audio use
Never used these before, Looks like I can spend from 99p upwards on one.

The question is, Is there much of a quality difference?
What should I realistically be spending to get something 'decent'?

Anything to go for / avoid?

Cheers all

General Discussion Area / Dyson Service

« on: 26 May 2013, 22:31:55 »

Anyone ever used the Dyson repair service?

http://www.dyson.co.uk/support/arrangeservice.aspx

Quote

"Your Dyson vacuum cleaner should provide you with many years of excellent performance and satisfaction, however you may wish to treat your machine to a routine service if it is out of guarantee.

Our fixed charge vacuum cleaner service of £79.00 (inc VAT) is fully inclusive of spare parts and labour (excluding accessories and filters). If your vacuum cleaner is in guarantee and you require a repair rather than a service, please call 0800 954 0154 so that we can help.

When you book a service you can expect:

A full inspection of your machine by a Dyson Service Engineer.
All required parts replaced as per the service engineer's inspection (parts and labour guaranteed for 12 months or until service support ends for your machine, whichever is soonest).
A full electrical and safety test.
Leave the site as they found it and dispose of any parts replaced during the service.
Easy payment direct to the Dyson Service Engineer by debit/credit card, cash or cheque.

Any accessories and filters are chargeable and may be purchased online or from the Dyson Service Engineer."

Now, my ageing DC07 works, and works well, I service it and keep it cleaned out.
BUT it is showing its age, and wants a new canister lid, cable tidy, hose, and probably a few other minor bits.

I could buy and fit the parts myself, but would cost more.

Question is, would the service cover all these in with the price?

Not interested in replacing the machine, It suits my needs and requirements which many others on sale do not.
(Must be bagless, Must not suck all dirt through the tools at all times, only when required, Must have an automatic brushbar)

Love or Hate dyson is a separate debate.

General Discussion Area / Shocked and disgusted with Police & ANPR etc

« on: 24 April 2013, 07:31:40 »

As many know, I bought a new car about 6 weeks ago, and all has been well.

My tax is due at the end of the month, so went onto the website to buy new as you do.

Only to be refused because I don't have valid insurance!

Very strange....Logged onto my insurance, and low and behold, I had mistyped the reg. Simple error, I had caught the wrong key. I had set all this up on my phone in the dealer, and its online only, so had no real certificate to notice on. OOPS!

Now, in the last 6 weeks, I have done over 3000 miles, driven in front of, behind, overtaken, been overtaken by many police cars. I have driven past the vans with cameras pointed out, I have been up and down motorways, through specs cams, dual carriage ways the lot. The car must have spent most of its life on camera.

So why the hell haven't I been stopped and questioned? The reg I had 'insured' doesn't even exist.

If Ive done this accidentally for nearly 2 months, then how many out there are doing this full time?!?!?!

Its no surprise there are so many uninsured out there, Ive proved how easy it is to get away with!

Anyway, all insured now, and should be able to buy my tax tonight, as you have to wait 24 hours between tries.

Omega General Help / Fan on permanently

« on: 15 April 2013, 15:58:23 »

Just found out Big Blue's fan has been on most the day, now slowed to near stop as the battery has run down.

Ive played with a few relays, made no difference.

Any pointers?

Aircon was regassed a few days ago, hadnt been running before as too low on gas.

Battery disconnected now, and charging up. didnt even have enough power left to run any live data to see if any sensors were reporting mad temps.

£20 plus postage...but pickup better as its heavy and oily.

Was taken off a 3.0 with no discernible play when I was suspicious of my own...but was wishbones in the end.
