And why does anyone do anything as a hobby. I think these ponderables are linked by one word. Escapism. I build things for pleasure, i listen for pleasure and i have a drink for err pleasure. I can forget about the procarious euro, the question on malvinas ( bollocks) sovereignty and wether the loc...

...Alex Harvey pissing on my shoe in the urinals ... On the "celebrity slash" topic, I once was at a "Gentleman's Rugby Evening" and used the urinal adjacent to a totally hammered Phil Vickery - he's huge (as in bulky, and no, I didn't look) - blocked out the light he did. On an...

As a small child, I once had supper with Milton Obote (not Milton Jones). Does that count?

Oh, and the Queen scowled at me after I nearly got run over by her car (I was daydreaming as I was crossing a road in the West End).

See if you can check the condition of the diaphram on the actuator itsself as if the solenoid is working but the diaphram is perished the ecu could be getting a reading from the airflow meter telling it that the actuator hasnt done as its told. I spent days chasing a similar problem ony friends vec...

I had a Saab 900 turbo many years ago Blimey. Had a Saab too - a 9000SE turbo, old "E" reg (1988) - when I eventually sold it, I got barely the cost of the recently fitted refurbished auto box. Lovely comfy cars, but an expensive thing to run... ...anyway jobs continue - built a new beehi...

I remembered that I had the Haynes manual for this thing - got it a while ago to replace one of the rear lamp clusters - total cost under 50 quid using a spare from a breakers yard when the Volvo dealer wanted £240 - mind you, it was bloody fiddly and took an afternoon... Anyway, looking at page 4B....

Anyone know about analysing ODB2 diagnostics? Got an annoying Volvo with an annoying warning light that shouldn't be on (apparently) and is annoying... What Volvo and which light ? Fellow Volvo owner. :wink: It's a V70 '05 reg - when you turn on the ignition you get a warning message saying "E...

Supposed to do a boot fair stall today at local cricket club.

Found our ground sheet in a neighbour's field

3 cheers for the weather!

Edit: Now got permission to do "stuff" in workshop. Result.

If you only want a small length, I have a some RG316U - you'd need two lengths, and it may be overkill (rather exotic stuff) but it does look nice...

And the fault was - or didn't he say? he did - I can't remember exactly but there were a couple of pots that needed adjusting - just outside of limits apparently - I can find out what they were should you wish, and the usual self-cal issues (which I have done myself before and on the 2430A are not ...

Opamps 3db bandwidth is normally quoted as a GBW(P) i.e. gain bandwidth product. e.g. for an opamp with a GBWP of 1Mhz and a gain set to x10, the bandwidth will actually only be 100khz, hence the need for open loop GBWPs in the Mhz range even for audio use - even the humble TL07x series quote unity ...

Bin 0 of the FFT (DFT variant) is normally the DC component (leftmost pixel column) - it depends on how you are displaying it. The fundamental is normally the next peak and so on, though with a granularity of 5dB div its difficult to tell. The y axis should be 125hz/div which makes the test frequenc...
