I saw a couple of HGVs on the bridge this morning, although signs are still up to say they are not allowed.

Re: Forth Road Bridge - now in intensive care

Trains were interesting going south over the bridge last night, hoards of dockers at Inverkeithing, empty trains not stopping at Inverkeithing, no one seemed to know what trains stopped at Dalmeny, hundreds of people were on then off a train three times until they decided it was going to stop at Dal...

Re: Forth Road Bridge - now in intensive care

Got the train from Dalmeny to Dalgety Bay this morning, wasn't too busy going north bound, but couldn't believe the amount of cars parked near the station at 6.30am.

Re: S1 headlights

I have Osram Night Breaker bulbs in my S1, a good cheap upgrade over normal bulbs.
Have bulb replacement LEDs fitted in my T5, they are H7s but sure there is an equivalent H4.

Re: Average Speed Cameras

I think the A9 has actually improved with the Speed Cameras, as they have increased the speed limit of HGVs to 50mph, which seems to have reduced the massive queues behind lorries. Although I have a VW T5 so limited to 50 and 60 mph anyway.

Re: Cobra Goldline 6019HF

I did think it could be the internal backup battery, got some spare time this weekend, so will put on my ear defenders and open her up.

Re: Cobra Goldline 6019HF

The battery is less than 2 years old, and I use a battery conditioner, so kind of ruled that out, but will check the voltage on the battery tonight.
There is an alarm fuse, what would happen if I pulled it?
