    "Ground" loops and interference.

    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

    Bluetooth Music

    in Skoda Yeti

    Posted

    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?

    Strange idling

    in Skoda Yeti

    Posted

    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.

    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.

    Why do you love your Yeti?

    It's an immensely practical family car. I replaced my Fabia VRS Estate with one. There's so much space in the cabin, the boot was up to a two week trip to France with the kids. I can get their bikes in the boot far easier than I could in the Fabia, and it's a really pleasant and relaxing drive. I love sitting up a bit. It has lots of useful gadgets that the Fabia didn't, and it's very very comfortable. The only minor annoyances are that there's nowhere to keep the can of gloop and pump in the boot because of the Adblue tank, and the brakes on my 110 diesel feel a little insipid after the VRS. They do their job though.

    2 Questions about DAB and Gap Insurance

    Without DAB, you could always Bluetooth any radio station you like via the Tunein app. I do most of my listening via this app or Apple Music. DAB is a dead duck. The long -term replacement for FM will be streaming based. DAB is a very poor carrier, and low quality. Most radio stations are at a very low bit rate on DAB.
