Re: Cables (HDMI/VGA/Mini Jack) NLC

I'd echo the suggestion to have your input switching at the av unit/receiver end and run a single HDMI to the TV. Leave some string in there so you can pull a thunderbolt or whatever cable in a few years and you should be fine :) You might want to include a speaker cable in the run to the TV in case...

S2 drivers seat fittings

Hi,

Removed the drivers seat from my S2 Elise today, having some trouble putting it back in.

Should I have two of these?

If so what are they called and where do you think I could get a replacement? :)

Thanks

Re: M90 average speed camera Northbound after FRB

Likewise; my commute from Dunfermline takes a minute or so longer if I go back roads and bypass the painfully slow 40mph stretch. According to http://www.transportscotland.gov.uk/road/projects/forth-replacement-crossing one of the three tenders for the new crossing was an 'Intelligent Transport Syst...

Re: 80mph on M9

FP as in fixed penalty? I'm sure that's what it'll be - I don't think they tell you that until you confirm the driver.

Re: building a garage on a boundary

Thanks for the replies - some useful info there. I'll be resubmitting my current planning application with the new plans, so it'll get the correct planning as required by the council. It will also require a building warrant; that'll get sorted once the plans are approved. The original builder put up...

building a garage on a boundary

Hi, I realise that the answer to my question is really 'seek professional legal advice' but I wanted to post here incase anyone is able to share their experience of a similar situation. I am looking to build a garage - my initial plans were rejected by the planning department, so I'm now on plan B w...

Re: Sound with HDMI

On the subject of new amps can anybody clear something up for me? Amps with HDMI support have a few inputs and only one output, does this work by putting the signal from say the blu-ray through the amp where it picks up the sound data and the image data passes through to the TV? Yeah - the amp hand...
