Tilt

@Monkhai Sorry not replied, just been off here for a while..... Well, nothing yet to be honest. It is only when I watch a movie or the like, that I think a larger screen would be nice. When watching normal tv the 50" is absolutely fine. It is 4k but I never watch anything 4k atm. It really has a great picture just viewing in standard HD (Freeview) I have however, mounted it on an 84cm pull out wall mount, which allows me to pull the tv further into the room, which is 7m long but not so wide. The pull out bracket does make a bit of a difference. Still considering a programme package (possibly Disney may suit) but I would also need to have fibre installed too as I currently just use mobile wifi for my broadband. The two together will be upwards of £40 month which I think is a lot, just to watch the box, what with the Tv licence fee on top of that. It is still a maybe, but have decided that two grand is too much to spend on a tv so it would be the BackLit Mini LED if I do go for the 65".

I realise now that Panasonic do actually do Mini LED and Curry's have them onlne also. (I must have still had the Oled search box ticked). The difference between the two that I am considering is about £1200 so I need to compare similar pictures instore ie not a Blu Ray display disc .... Oled are predicted to come down in price considerably if my research proves correct. New tech is Micro LED .... well, for those that can, .... Lol.

As said, different car mine ........ (118i) I cannot set my preferences for driving mode because I do not have the app installed on my phone so I have to press the 'Sport' button every time... Although ... I wouldn't be surprised if I couldn't set it that way anyway. I think manufacturers are edging more and more towards a driver having LESS control of their own car's behaviour ........ ie, not being able to turn off, or even adjust certain settings, even if you want to. My car will not even let me turn the lights off manually. Luckily I was able to reduce the 'Anti Collision Auto Braking' to a minimum setting. IME it was likely to cause someone rear-ending me as it had overreacted on a few occasions.

It'd be difficult to remember if they weren't electrically adjustable, Lol.

Agreed, tis a bit quieter on here of late ........ Finally gotten around to waxing mine (car, Lol) recently after a good wash and polish .... The waxing, 'Auto Glym Extra Gloss Protection' makes quite a difference. Car still looks pretty good, very clean and quite shiny a week or more later and considering the weather we have had, i'm glad I managed to get it done finally. Been meaning to do it for ages. And yes, bit of a chore tho ........

Different car, but I always put mine in sport mode ....... I found the car behaves better and found no real difference in fuel consumption either. This action also automatically switches the 'stop-start' feature off ..... saving me having to do that every time. Lane assist was turned off separately in mine iirc. But yes, some will use the user profile settings for electric seat settings etc but I would guess for most people, unnecessary. I could be wrong on that last thought of course.

I had set my mind on an OLED, however, I am concerned that it's brightness may not be good enough for my room as there are windows and patio doors at opposing ends, so quite a bright room especially (obvs) throughout the summertime. I like my Panasonics but they do not do Mini (backlit) LED (I see nothing on Curry's anyway) ... Previously having TX-P46ST and currently TX-50GX800B (the latter, I stole for £305 ebay local) I need a little more time researching but if anyone has experience of OLED vs Mini LED, particularly OLED viewing in a bright room, then hearing any sensible thoughts would me most appreciated. The Mini LED I looked at was the Sony Bravia 9 but the 8 ll has some, lets say not great reviews. Not sure about Samsung and LG sets so as mentioned, more research needed. Thanks for any input.

Hi, welcome, and well done (as a country) in scalping us at the Cycling World Championships ......... Lol. Enjoy your Kodiaq and Brisky.

I'd be in favour of teaching folk which their left side is ........ Lol.

Did you have the tracking / alignment checked ??? And has the flywheel been done at all ??? Any weird noises ???

@lurking seems like your thread got a bit hijacked.... It sounds like the battery needed a good charge though if a duff battery then replacement will sort it so long as the alternator and charging system is all good. good luck.

I would have thought that light bar was the indicator led. Not super familiar with the model though.

My near 4 year old battery was left unused for 10.5 days recently and the voltage reading was 11.9v before attempting starting the car. (mentioned in another thread, re- charging) It started absolutely normally. I believe that 11.9v is around 40% charge (AGM/EFB), though another mention was 25%.

And a slightly different viewing angle ......... But a beautiful colour that tho, Lee. Looks good.

Good point .... And thanks for all the input guys ...... (& girls ?) Lol.)

Headlight assembly ????? Not particularly familiar with the fabia but yes, headlight housings are usually pretty well sealed. So yes, sounds reasonable assessment to me....

Sooooooooo .......... (and just an FYI for anyone interested, nothing more) .... After ten and a half days with vehicle sat on drive the charge had dropped to 11.9v (I won't let this happen again btw). Thinking 40% charge. Car started this morning absolutely normally. A six and a half mile drive to work with a couple of hours stood before testing and a reading of 12.45v. A return journey of same mileage and a few hours later (left bonnet open an hour or so ago), just read at 12.68v ..... Happy chappy at that but still to sort the charger, they insist on me returning it. I have to speak to ebay. As an aside, I looked on ECP and although I know their prices can be expensive if no discount, I was shocked. £395 ........... Wow. I will defo be looking after my battery now, Lol.

It is a reverse gear beeper, you cannot turn it off ...

@Warrior193 It was another reason I chose the 4 amp. Was going to go for the 10 amp then read about charging at lower levels is possibly better for this type of battery. (as others have also mentioned). I think my battery is fine but thought get the 4 amp just in case it needs a slightly faster / higher charge rate what with the heated seats etc, for on the occasion that I give it a charge. And the digital display. I would always try to ensure the battery is fully charged if / when near freezing temperatures are expected. I may keep the 2 amp IF they give me a good discount on it. Still I get quite annoyed when people cannot get simple tasks right. Pointless though, I know. As @EnterName says, I am quite hard on myself too.

@nta16 I chose the 4amp as it has the digital display whereas the 2amp only has led display. I too prefer the bay as generally simpler website and prices. I have had a few real bargains off ebay local too. Near £1000 retail dining table and chairs for £70-something quid. 3 month old as new £800 tv for £305 quid. This wrong item sent issue is a very rare occurrence for me and I have purchased a lot of things off the bay. (seller, the tool stop limited). Ball-ache to have to send it back though. Getting more than 'a little frustrating' now as I have to send pics and do not generally use my phone for internet activity.

Welcome (back) to 'Rip off Britain'........

Indicates an alternator issue if I'm not mistaken. I looked into this when choosing to purchase a smart charger. A 13.07-volt reading with the engine running is low; your vehicle's alternator should be charging the battery to between 13.4 to 14.8 volts. A lower voltage suggests a potential issue with the alternator, the charging system, or a failing battery. You should have the charging system and battery professionally tested to identify the cause. Why the Voltage is Lo

Delivery received today ........ Cheeky b******s sent a 53488 instead. Maybe it's an honest mistake (but I doubt it as one has a digital display, the other one doesn't). So now I have to (already done it) message the seller telling them how disappointing it is to receive the wrong item and await their response and what they propose to do. If they do not sort it I will just let the bay sort a refund for me. I purchase lots of things off of there and mostly without issue. A little frustrating that's all.

My first thought on reading the topic title was 'it (the car) won't like the weather' ....... Lol. I got an invite to Viveash WA by a customer of mine about ten years ago. Regretting not going ???? ...... maybe.
