I went to Southampton today and met Rudi of BMWpixelfix and now i have a brilliant LCD display and white dials and needles

First serious wash and interior valet. Discovered that (a) it's probably in better nick that I dared hope and (b) the previous owner either had a Teletubby fetish or had indeed been carrying children at least once, despite his earlier protestations...

Found that my spare is flat, so not really a "spare" in any useful sense.

Found an LED torch and a Malteser. And a small orange cat. (plastic).

Learned quite a lot about Diamondbrite.

Discovered my TV has Freeview (good), but that you cannot (it seems ) select any sensible order for the channels to appear (not good). Bit like the radio then...


More tomorrow no doubt. Graham

Graham, look in the manual for setting the order of radio stations on the screen

AFAIK you just have to live with the auto listing on the freeview tuner

Dah. I did read the free manual but missed this. Soz.  Graham

The TV tuner is pants for that. Everywhere you go, it autotunes. and any presets I've saved never get saved, and it seems to default to "manual" rather then "auto" Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

Have now read the manual, and found that it's really very simple to arrange your presets in any order you like. In fact, it works the same in principle as every car radio I've ever had (well, all of those that had presets, anyway), starting with some ancient Blaupunkt object in my Wolseley 16/60.

Tune, press, hold, let go. How hard can it be.  Graham

Got back from airport after two weeks away, went in taxi because of stories on here re battery failures. RR was waiting on the drive when I got home. I jumped in started first time and went to work.
- SIMPLES!

Whilst on holiday I hired a Suzuki Grand Vitara - ! Geoff

Went to Barbados (cos they drive on the left) and hooked up with some of your protestant northern neighbours - one thing all you Irish have in common is a liking for drink - something that I seem to like as well, so we had a ball!

I saw your post re: mud flaps and it made me nervous, as mine have been put on roughly and I want to have a look to see if I can improve things. Geoff
