ummmmmmm, i'm untidy in both

my jag didn't on both the pre cat H02 sensors, but both had codes stored on the ECU when read. no light no nothing, only noticed as i track my fuel mpg on an app.

and jay in his car

should get a vid up and share the exhaust note

i find cruise control a huge help, it takes the effort out of maintaining a camera safe speed

engine flush is a last resort, i wouldn't be running that stuff if at all possible. can often do more harm than good.

no it wouldn't, but you might find its stored a code on the ECU, first thing i'd do is get a code reader on it. not all issues flash a CEL light on.

Been reading alot of what hi fi reviews, they seem very good. also popped into hughes on my way home today which was very interesting, they had a range of amps and setups. but what suprised me most was the sound that they got out of these tiny little kef speakers. it was the £400 set down from the eggs. but very good and crisp.

i really want to try out the yamaha rx v-673. it was a what hi-fi 2012 winner for its budget, and at about £400 its not a horrific price. and it would leave me pretty future proof for a long time.

to be honest the budget is as little as possible. hence why i'm looking on ebay for 2nd hand AV units. thought is to pick up an older unit for say half the price. but if i think i have to i may well spend on a new amp and then build up the speakers slowly.

there is a hugh's electrical near me and they always been good with TV stuff, so planning on my first trip to go and see them.

Thanks Graham, i have seen it before, but i kind of want the challenge and fun of researching and doing it myself instead of having someone else do it all for me.

i'm just going to play movies and the sat tv through it, also the xbox and blueray. i don;t expect it to be an audio renasance, but just want more punch and involvement than the stock TV speakers (which are very good) and a bit more sound than a generic 5.1 setup. but the room is small limited space due to furniture, and a wife that will kill me if i recreate led zepplins concert setup.

cheers guys, speaker wise i'm looking at a set of mission speakers also been browsing kef and gale. i want some nice floorstanding ones, but we don;t have the space, so i told lucy i'd get smaller ones, i think she thinks were getting little satellite ones, but i've seen a nice set of bookshelf speakers. by mission. :grin: Ok so i might not panic on getting the ultimate Amp, but concentrate on the speakers, but aim to get the functionality i want. have heard of denon and onkyo, just seem mentally stuck on sony as it would match in with the TV. but i'm moving away from this.

I'm looking at setting up surround soud to compliment my TV as we watch a lot of movies, was planning to pick up a cheap 2nd hand AV reciever off ebay, looked at and bid on a few, but as i'm still learning i've bottled as i've got closer. each time my budget seems to be going up. I have found that audio HiFi language seems to be a world of its own and its taking me a lot of time to learn all the lingo. but i have slowly worked out what i want out of a unit. i started off just looking at old units going for £20-£50. but i now know that i want. - HDMI connection, so no need for lots of audio cables, but one that feeds the TV signal back to the reciever. - 5.1 or 7.1 but not to fussy - full HD audio, as i play blue rays i want a system that can unlock the full audio potential - proper speaker connectors not just bare wire clips. next question as my budget seems to keep going up, should i just buy a low end new unit, or hold out for a 2nd hand higher market unit. next question who is seen to be the best for sound; i've been looking at Sony's mainly as i have a bravia TV and they do the bravia sync, but also looked at pioneer and yamaha. just because they are brands that i know or have used, and have a good rep. ones i'm toying with from new were SONY STRDHH520 Sony STRDH820 pioneer vsx527 Yamaha YHT196 (i think its possibly going to be under powered) Yamaha RXV373 Yamaha RXV473/ or 573 or 673 (but getting way out of my price range) was bidding on some 2nd hand sony strdh800's but it went for £150 in the end for a 3 year old unit and you can get the newer 820 for £200 off richer sounds. any input would be greatly appreciated.

tappatalk is the current weapon of choice

has your wife got i-rate yet? mine gets it all the time

the impacts made me whince, does make you realise that over a certain speed; regardless of what you drive, how vunderable you still are.

should also have said it goes well with a drink. it really suits a flaming molotov cocktail

comes with calor gas heaters as well, apparently goes well when you put your foot on the gas?

would he be done for being french? i'm sure thats a crime somewhere?

My wife loves the apple products; and i have to agree they do look good, but i've not bonded with the software, i'm too institutionalised with windows. its not that windows is better, i'm just too lazy to undo 20 years of windows doctrination.

give it time to dry out, 24 hours or a couple of days, you'd be suprised how they spring abck into life

i'd reccomend the fly eyes kit, its the only stuff thats MOT legal
