  1. You did mine as well James I think, did a great job. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  3. Yes, can see it when I open my eyes [emoji849][emoji58]. Should sound interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Really interesting. Never heard a single driver unit that really floats my boat, although have heard some very coherent horns. Ultimately though they always seem to lack both bass substance and treble extension. What they get right is amazing. Have you tried single drivers in a transmission line? Much kudos to you for building your own speakers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. All streaming these days, even R3 is better online these days. No compression unlike FM. M-dac used as a digital-pre fed by an original Airport-Express, the new one had too much jitter. Using a pair of Audiolab 8200m into my AVi Neutron 5s. Sounds lovely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Try RRG in Rochdale, they usually have some in. Mine came straight from stock. Only an SE though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. Hastings, nearly the cheapest, and by paying a small additional amount I don't have to pay any excess at all in the result of an accident. I live in a bad postcode, so pay about £480 a year Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. I agree with that, FM is the most ubiquitous, but I'd stand by the fact that the future of radio is the Internet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. That's true, but I think 3G/4G/5G coverage will increase. Not sure about DAB. DAB seems to be a technology that has had its day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. I'm sure the future of radio is internet based. Don't bother with DAB, it really is yesterday's technology the bit rates are very low. Instead try using your phone, Tunein app via Bluetooth is every bit as good if not better and even more choice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Well it's fixed, but I've no idea how! Came home and it connected to my wife's iPhone. Then selected my phone, all back to normal. What a strange occurrence
  12. I've been happily streaming via Bluetooth and my iPhone 5c since I've had the car, but whilst the phone functions work perfectly, the music has stopped. I can't find any settings anywhere that might cause this. I've now told the phone to forget the head unit, but can't seem to find how to make the head unit forget the phone then I can start again. Anyone had this problem and solved it?
  13. That is making sense. It has been idling at 800 again now the snowflake has disappeared. Glad she's not poorly.
  14. On Friday Hetty went into regen mode on the way to work. No time to drive further, so had to leave it in the car park work the fans whirring. As expected it restarted the process after work so I took get for a trip on the Motorway to make sure she finished what she needed to do.. Saturday morning I get in the car, notice again that the idling speed is up to 1000rpm, no stop start. So I drove into the dealer and asked. He suggested that perhaps a long journey would help. Well on Sunday I had a 100 mile round trip on the Motorway. Meanwhile on the way home the car was idling at a 1000rpm, but the stop-start started working???? Did the trip, car running beautifully s always at the other end. Restart after its gone child and she's idling at 1000rpm again. Before I drop her in at the dealers, just want to check that this isn't normal behaviour for cold weather? Its coincided with the freezing spell. Hetty is MY16 2.0 110 2WD by the way. Most trips are quite short, but she usually stretches her legs at weekend.
  15. We tragically lost a really close friend and her close to term unborn daughter when my eldest was six. She really struggled and a friend of ours who is a counsellor recommended this book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Water-Bugs-Dragonfiles-Explaining-Children/dp/0829816240 It was a great help to get, and helped her to contextualise what had happened. I've also trained to work with young people dealing with bereavement and grief. You may want to look at the five stages of grief model. Young people also go through this, albeit sometimes at an accelerated rate.. My general thoughts are that you need to deal with issues as they arise. You can't prepare very young children for this. Children of that age won't understand that someone may be ill and may die, but getting poorly, and getting worse, and each subsequent stage can be explained as it happens. Children of that age are also are unable to distinguish between myth and fact. So using heaven or stars in the sky watching them can be a comfort to them. Death also challenges them in that they may worry about losing others. They've spent their lives learning that when things go away they come back, object permanence. They will need reassurance about this and that even if someone has passed, others will care. Again the heaven / stars / waterflies looking down stories help them with that. My thoughts and sympathies go out to you. There are no words good enough.
