« on: 17 April 2014, 21:06:18 »
Have successfully done this with one of my keys. Swapped the guts from the original key, new blade cut. Works perfectly!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: CCR2006 Head Unit with a mind of it's own?
« on: 27 August 2013, 17:17:38 »Is it normal for the head unit to switch off in one mode and switch on in another mode?
(switch off ignition with Radio playing and switch ignition back on later and CD plays)
That's what mine does sometimes!
Same here. It just happens, but not all the time. No sleep lost over it.
That's put my mind at rest then

On a different note, is it normal for the head unit to switch off in one mode and switch on in another mode?

General Car Chat / Re: Car tax query
« on: 07 August 2013, 18:39:42 »If you've taxed it online, surely the ANPR wouldn't trigger because you're legal.
I've been pulled several times in recent years for "no tax" even though I'd taxed it in the week beforehand. The system seems conveniently slow to update itself. Unless your in the wrong then I'm sure it would spot it straight away!
Were the "recent years" before ANPR?
It was ANPR flagging it each time according to the copper(s) They'd then radio through to "make sure" lol
Smacks of someone chasing quotas to me mate!

« on: 31 July 2013, 13:10:03 »JamesV6CDX did mine and did a great job! He's based around Gloucester I think but he agreed to travel to Walsall to do mine.Will have to give him a message did he charge you extra to come to Walsall as I need my cam covers and cam belt done
He just asked me to make a contribution for fuel (£30) He's also done my cam covers too.
Totally recommend him!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: CCR2006 Removal (almost there!)
« on: 30 July 2013, 18:35:57 »did the car have a hand free car kit in it if so that's probably the connections to the stereo for it
I would say that's probably a good call!

Don't beat yourself up Rog! You've obviously acted professionally and properly. I'm sure the patients who need this kit would rather have serviceable kit and a reputable supplier to back it up. Fingers crossed you get the contract to supply and maintain!

General Car Chat / Re: Overdue oilfilter change
« on: 21 July 2013, 14:03:10 »I don't think it was wrongly mounted. The hooks that locks it in to the cap where facing outwards. But I think that the other end facing the block were stuck to the face of the filter and It might have been twisted when I screwed the cap off. The filter sort of hanged in there and I had to pull it out.
But I'm not sure about that, filter was anyway very worn and old. Flow through it must have been minimal.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the hooks designed to lock into place INSIDE the holder, i.e. not showing?
