Because he owes Mike sexual favours of some description?
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

No sexual favours being exchanged, only cash and leather. Then again...

shush you, all will be revealed shortly...

Decided to sort something that's been bugging me, my clocks.

I had a set of clocks modified by ray (aRd) a while back but recently two of the display SMDs started flickering then completely died :sad:

So I pulled them apart and had a good look over them at work to find it was a dry solder joint on one of the diodes. This was on the same circuit as the other causing them both to go out.

Hooked up to a power source



The offending diode



After a quick blast with the soldering iron



All is well again



Had a note through the door for attempted delivery today as well, I wonder what that could be... :wink:

My new steering wheel is finally in and... my phone battery ran out lol

Basically I've fitted a Mk5 R32/GTI flat bottomed steering wheel. A straight fit with the wheel but the airbag loom needing to be hybridized so the plugs fitted properly and the horn worked. A new steering wheel bolt was also bought as I'm pretty sure I've had it off six times now.

I've also replaced the steering wheel badge with a rabbit emblem as the VW logo was a bit scratched. I'm not sure if I'll keep the R badge on the bottom or change to a GTI version but I'll see. Oh and I've also ordered some brushed aluminium inserts to fit where the steering wheel controls normally fit. I've got black in there for now so we'll see what they look like.

Pics will follow tomorrow but for now I absolutely love the wheel :afro:

Best bit is it cost me nothing after the sale of my Mk4 R32 wheel :wink:
