Jongensfontein is a gem - one of the few coastal villages without a squatter camp nearby.

I will give this a try in my scenario as I remember my AVR having updated at some point during the period between my Sony BDP player functioning perfectly and then not functioning so well... Thank you! I recall having checked this as part of my fault-finding mission but I'll check it again...

@jlaubza, I kid you not, I had EXACTLY the same problem with my setup - same brand of AVR and Blu-Ray player. See my thread here: Denon AVR & Sony BR Player: No Changes but Suddenly No Sound from Blu-Ray Player. I never could figure the problem out. I eventually landed up buying an LG 4K player...

Thanks for this!

In my 7.5 GTi, it certainly did. I'm not a bass junkie but when you turned it up, it thumped quite convincingly. The subwoofer built into the hollow end of the spare wheel definitely worked well. It won't break any SPL records but it was definitely enough for me.

Thanks! It's plenty of fun, you almost forget the need for a decent sound setup!

Seconded - my 7.5 GTI's Dynaudio setup was superb. It took a little while to optimise it but once there, the sound was far better than I expected. When I bought the car, the Dynaudio system (with the larger touchscreen) was one of the non-negotiable options. I put a Kenwood touchscreen unit...

Ta!

Would you be willing to sell the 8310? I had one years ago and I loved the fact that it was so small. I'd use it on my mountain-biking trips because it's far more hardy than the current touchscreen phones.

Correct, only the crap stock lands up on WBC's website. Strictly speaking, you cannot waive your rights under the CPA which will always apply. Excluding CPA rights makes the contract illegal and unenforceable. The problem lies in the enforcement, as you say. WBC makes people sign these onerous...

If you haven't done so already, look for an e-waste service in Cape Town. If you can't find one on that side yourself, it might be worth giving South City e-Waste in Joburg a call and seeing if they can recommend anybody.

Errol currently hosts the mid-morning slot on Radio Today 1485AM. I spoke to him recently about it. I’ll drop him a message to see if he has any plan to come back to LM and let you know.

To get into my inclined and cambered driveway, one has to first drive through the gutter which is made of slight recessed but thankfully smooth between the road and the bricks. It's not a kerb stone/sharp-edge type of gutter but rather rounded recess cast in-situ type commonly seen in the West...

Just heard from fellow forum member Sten's family that he passed away in September 2022 at the ripe old age of 80. Although he was a small voice on the forum (made smaller by his failing eyesight towards the end), he was a great presence offline. It is possibly little known that he was one of...

@Marius van Reenen, if you wish to keep the air conditioning controls alive, you haven't got that many options locally. The OneNav units may work (but I could be wrong) because Planet World claims they integrate into several cars "seamlessly" and you can maintain the use of the on-board...

He's excellent. And he's now also part of a brewery band called Swamp Dog!

Right around the corner from me. Thanks!

Which branch does this? Battery Centre Midrand says they only take them in for recycling but don't pay for them.

The Disney 100 Concert - https://www.ticketmaster.co.za/artist/disney-100-the-concert-tickets/1221744. Gallagher Convention Centre over the Easter weekend. The Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra will be providing the music. Not often one gets to see and hear a full orchestra perform Disney...

I've just bought myself one of these little guys and plan to have my electrician install it when he sorts the generator changeover out. It has a lower threshold of 30kA but it should be good enough for my use. Copa Class 2 – Surgetek
