  1. As above.... If needed, buy an autoleads adapter (pretty much any of them) and cut it to shreds to make a test loom.
  2. Almost easier to get a cover from eBay for a few £s http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-VW-Seat-Skoda-Flip-Key-Case-Cover-Car-Silicone-Skin-Rubber-VAG-Passat-Touare-/221908831503?var=&hash=item33aacc0d0f:m:mrRlnrYfu2-cfEacSXmn_8w As opposed to: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-VW-SKODA-SEAT-1J0-959-753-DA-433-MHZ-THREE-3-BUTTON-KEY-FOB-BLANK-ID48-K17-/252117254972?hash=item3ab35c033c:g:is0AAOSwYHxWFhEV Plus key cutting plus coding to immobiliser and alarm. that is cheap for a whole key though.... J.
  3. Front mudflaps will help a lot to stop crap spraying up over the doors. IMO: Splitter is a popular (if flawed) option. To my eyes it "doesn't fit" properly. The styling cues/lines do not match the Fabia front bumper. Dechroming the grille on a black car is a bit "gangsta" for me too. J.
  4. Now works on my desktop. Must have been a site problem.
  5. Given my usual clumsiness I'd add a cable strain tie in there somewhere. Rather than risk faffing it up when rearranging/cleaning etc.
  6. Check out the connects2 website. They have lists.... Also look at the USB/SD card one. It's more expensive but can do more. http://www.connects2.co.uk/C2/C2RangeProducts.aspx?manfid=53&groupid=34&Parentgroupid=7 http://www.connects2.co.uk/C2/C2RangeProducts.aspx?manfid=53&groupid=6&Parentgroupid=0 J.
  7. Got miniDLNA running now on the Cubietruck. Pretty smooth installation really, found some recipes/advice on t-web. I'll have to do a back-to-back comparison with my RPi vs the Chromecast Audio as regards audio quality. As regards "Value" though, the Chromecast wins.... Assuming you have a smartphone or tablet to run a upnp/DLNA control point on. In DLNA terminology. - Server: Cubietruck running miniDLNA in the corner of the lounge. - Control point: Nexus 4 smartphone running Bubbleupnp - Renderer: Chromecast Audio J.
  8. What cheese do you need if confronted with an angry bear! Camembert. How do Welsh people eat their cheese? Caerphilly. What cheese is made backwards? Edam
  9. Maybe a course of leeches... Whatever the opportunities for humour however, bloody hell Auric, glad it isn't me. Hope the recovery continues at a quickening rate. J.
  10. Police searching for equestrian bandit in Italian cheese..... They think it's being used to Mascapone.
  11. Without the dropped kerb, anyone is in their rights to park alongside it. Get it done properly or lose the garden. Talk to local planning about their definitions of materials. Some blockwork may be classed as semi-permeable. Homogeneous concrete slab won't be, of course, requiring drainage channels and a soakaway. You might need drainage anyway depending on the slope of the plot.
  12. Pandora's Star, Judas Unchained ... With a little bit of The Great North Road and Void trilogy thrown in. Also well into my Honor Harrington. J.
  13. Chrome knobs from Superskoda... http://www.superskoda.com/Skoda/FABIA/Fabia-I-air-vent-CHROME-buttons-COMPLETE I have them, though I paid a little more at the time.... J.
  14. If you have to ask.... I did find the ECS tuning upgrades in the UK a few years back. Venom Motorsport offer them. £600 + £600 for both "ends" excluding calipers. You'd need "312" or "256" calipers in addition to the kits. IMO if you really need this stuff, then cost/price won't be an issue as you'll be breaking many other bits of the car regularly. J.
  15. Has anyone got one? Got mine a few days ago, have been playing with it. Current setup is: WIN7 PC running FOOBAR2000 with upnp/DLNA plugin. Chromecast Audio Nexus 4 running Bubbleupnp TPA3116 amp Tannoy E11 speakers. I prefer FLAC over MP3 as this is my "main" music system. I found I couldn't FLAC from Windows Media Player 12 to the Chromecast. Even though I've previously managed FLAC playback via UPNP with a Raspberry Pi running XBMC/KODI. Main irritation at the moment is it comes on at full volume every power up and its "pre-amp" level seems quite high. J.
  16. My "lounge" or backup PC has just re-discovered Win7! After a couple of weeks running WIN10. Running Win10 I hadn't been too impressed but as long as it was working..... Then I tried WOL - (Wake On LAN) - and that wouldn't work - muttered a bit after reading of others having similar problems from the start of the year but played on.... Then, inexplicably, it broke, wouldn't boot, ended up in a long winded loop of booting to recovery console, re-boot - same failure, - recovery console etc. Tried looking at the disks in Linux - couldn't, got a helpful message saying they were in hibernation state and could only be mounted RO etc.. So after 45 minutes to an hour of gradually louder swearing at it, I did a full system restore to WIn7.... Which I'd backed up immediately prior to installing Win10. I'll revisit it when I have to or when it looks reasonable to do so. J.
  17. if you're taking to a place, take your multimeter with you. Do before and after checks of the battery voltage, with the car off and with it running. Might be worth check for the alternator load sense wire problem. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/334979-alternator-load-signal-wire/ http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=209472 J.
  18. AGGGHHH! KILL THE ZOMBIE WITH FIRE!!!! I've seen how all of those filums start. Do you feel the need to bite people yet? Does your co-worker's calf look good enough to eat? (and I mean his!!!).
  19. At least it's not a "can you see what it is yet" sort of trial!
  20. 'Cos.... Anxious I'm overtaking... (repeat until overtake complete).... And relax.... and foot moves infinitesimally off the accelerator. J.
  21. It might be a better seal but any seal (or sealant) can only do as good a job as the installation allows. In this case, liable to leak as the implementation allows water to sit above the seal in the recess between the carrier and door skin. I would spray talc it and run with trim off to discover the source of the leaks, then plumbers-gold bomb it.... Or do the drill-holes-and-alu-tape-it method. J. J.
  22. Obviously, doing the 312 upgrade results in you having a modified car. Before pulingthe trigger on that, it would be best to talk with your insurance company.
  23. I would have expected maybe 40 points from the ABs. They seem to have wanted to make a point, possibly to the opposition and the venue. Unless something strange happens, going to be a NZ vs Aus final.... Though Ireland are the massive wind cards left.... If they can get past the Argies now they're in a post-PoC environment. I don't want to omit the Scots but realistically, they have to hope for damage limitation and/or the Aussies to go bat-****-crazy and start a fight or something. J.
