In fact, I've been speaking with them about the totally shocking idea of customer service from LG and they have agreed to replace my 16 month old handset if LG fail to fix the fault this time (2nd time they have had it!)

I has a couple of LG phones coincidentally on 3 and the handsets were awful. Totally unreliable and I'd never have one again.

When I was still in the RAF Laura Tobin was one of the weather forecasters in the Station Met Office. Despite the weather it was always a nicer day when she did the morning brief!

Signed. Whilst I feel that some questions might need to be asked about airshow safety following recent events, what needs to happen next is to patiently await the results of the various accident investigations currently underway and see what, if anything, is an appropriate response.

The CAA's knee jerk response in curtailing aerobatic performances by vintage jets, plus the end of XH558's flying will already have hit the airshow circuit hard. It would be nice to see some support from the stuffed shirts at the campaign against aviation, rather than for recent troubles to be seen as an excuse for a price hike. 

The reports are yet to be issued but I'd bet my RAF pension on both the Gnat and Hunter accidents being down to pilot error. Off-site crowd safety has always been an issue. In my many years on the Flying Control Committee supervising the displays at Waddington it was the one subject that caused us the greatest concern, and that was at a huge airfield. Big problem at the small sites.

General Discussion Area / Airshow Safety

« on: 08 February 2016, 11:04:29 »

I don't normally suport these on-line petitions but this is a topic close to my heart as I display a veteran helicopter from the Vietnam War (OH6 Loach) alongside the iconic UH-1 Huey at airshows. After the tragic accidents last year at Car Fest and notably Shoreham the CAA is rightly reviewing air show safety. However, one of their proposals is to increase charges for airshow permissions and display authorisations by 100%. Airshow organizers and participants already pay significant amounts to the CAA and it is difficult to see how such a large increase in fees will do anything to improve safety bar putting some smaller shows and individual display pilots out of business.

If you want to continue to enjoy the spectacle of airshows and see pilots displaying their aircraft and skills to the public than please support the petition asking that the proposal to increase charges be reconsidered.

Are the clips like on the headlight switch that you need to put a palette knife in at the side to release?

I have seen the thread on dismantling the console but how do I get the climate control panel out. All the other plugs pull out but I can't get the main panel out and don't want to pull too hard in case I break it.

Hmm Hoped there might be a way to just add it to the post rather than uploading it to another programme

I have a pic of the offending connector.  How do I upload items there doesn't seem to be an option in the "attachments and other options" to add one.

They are on the bottom lip of the bumper, one is quite close to the exhaust cut-out. About the size of a 1 pence.

It is me breaking the car that SMD is referring to. So, sensors and the sensor loom out. So is the sounder from the roof. However, the module has 2 plugs in it and I can't work out how to release them. Also the loom has a red wire that is piggybacked onto a white with black trace wire that goes into a connector to another whiite black wire in the lighting loom across the boot. Breaking the connectorr leaves the sensor loom still attached to the boot loom. So, is the loom to the sensor module there even if sensors arent fittted and if not am I right in assuming the white/black is for reversing lights that the red is in an odd way tapped into. What is the best way to remove the loom if SMD needs it?

The little oval covers do need to be carefully prised out. They have a little clip at each end so try to do it from the curved end rather then the long edge to reduce the chance of snapping the clips.
