High Jetter Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 You can't just copy it to the PC, you need to rip it. No idea why though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that's what @AnnoyingPentium had in mind. Ooh, I thought it was one of the Bluetooth things where you send music from your phone and then tune the device to the radio of the car.

Zelandeth Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Aaand the washing machine has decided to pack in. Great! Hopefully just the motor brushes - and hopefully they're both replaceable and available. AnnoyingPentium and myglaren 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggersdog Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Four months ago some timewasting tosser went all keyboard warrior slagging us off on Google. I posted it on here where he cancelled a booked MoT on the day. Then the rearranged MoT was cancelled leaving a message at 1 in the morning. When he phoned again I told him I didn't want his business and put the phone down. Yesterday I was surfing the net , like you do, when I came across a picture of his Mazda MX-5. The numberplate was in view so I checked. Well wouldn't you know, a car whose MoT ran out in 2016 four months after booking it in with me is still out of test. No keeper change either. Just proves my point that he would have not turned up to any other oppointment and more than likely cancelled on the day like the two times before. I feel like adding to my reply like he did when I replied to his slagging off but that might put the whole thing as the most recent review.

I can't be fucked installing some aftermarket head unit, nor purchasing the removal keys to have a gander at why it's just spitting them straight out again. So it's now a case of listening to the rear brake that has started making that irritating noise for the umpteenth time... Or Heart FM, neither of which greatly appeal And to top it off, it started running a bit lumpy sitting in traffic, so I'm obviously fully expecting the EML to illuminate in due course in order to subsequently relieve me of £50 for a coil pack. #fun So what I can describe as an antidote to a twist of fate, the CD player has started working, the mysterious brake noise has fixed* itself and it was running as smooth as ever this afternoon 🤔 What's the chances off all 3 faults appearing then disappearing at once!?

I was referring to the other ones earlier with the aux 3.5mm input on them (so you could plug in a CD player). I don't need one of these anyway, got one of those dashboard mount CD players.

Zelandeth Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Washing machine is beyond economic repair. Motor is fscked (field winding is open circuit) and there's a bit of play in the drum bearing so that would really want doing while I'm in there and it's plainly not designed to be replaced. I can see there's areas of the controller PCB that have got hot enough to discolour the board as well so wouldn't want to guarantee the continued longevity of that either. At the end of the day we've had it s minimum of eleven years and I don't think until today I've ever had the back cover off, so can't really complain too much. Still bloody annoying though!

Still bloody annoying though! is it a universal motor? might be worth saving if it has any brushes left, put power directly to them via Variac and crank it up until commutator bars are flying everywhere always wanted to do that myself, but never have had the opportunity to do so!
