  1. you trying to break somethin' :( seems to work fine here :D note quote and edit and reply buttons are now under the post :D :D :D had me fooled for a nanosecond too :( :D agree with you there - all the other fora appear to eed a password - some thing for Glen to sort out I think, although clicking on the subtopics takes you there without a password I assume that ADD REPLY will append to last post if you are the last poster - reduces post whore posting - just testing it now :D
  2. under the post :( :( :D
  3. downgrade* but it back lol i know you want to :( :( MJR reply seems to work the same - if quote is + i assume it will quote when replied to - just testing now
  4. gets bigger, becomes larger :( :( :D
  5. checked - mine dont either :(
  6. Straps are sprung loaded, look for the button under the head rest on top of the seat, without child in the seat pressing this button should allow the springs to retract the straps. This mechanism seems to work better on some seats than others though, if the belts don't retract check that they aren't twisted. They never seem to work as well when seat is occupied. The springs seem to degrade with use and if used a lot they dont retract very well. We used ours after having set the length correctly, without adjusting for weeks on end (unless occupant has particularly bulky clothes on) hope this helps
  7. Perhaps we ought to get this thread pinned so that everyone will se the post and It wont need bumping periodically :unsure:
  8. agreed, the air resistance increases as the cube of the car speed so doubling the speed will produce an increase of eight times in the air resistance, without even considering rolling resistance which also increases with increasing speed. So why isn't the most economical speed 1mph then ?? consider the extreme case - standing still and engine idling, fuel is still being used , the friction in the engine has to be overcome, fuel pumps, alternator etc are still being driven. So like many technological/engineering solutions we end up in a compromise - balance whilst I don't know if there is some fundamental reason that cars tend to be most economical at 56mph the fact that this is the figure that manufacturers have to quote comsumption figures leads them to select gearing etc to make this 'headline' figure as high as possible. ps Mattjr - Its a bit like the maximum power theorem - most power is transferred when internal and external resistances are equal in a circuit (see also impedance matching) these are curves with a maxima.
  9. Good - see you soon :unsure:
  10. mines a mkII and I swapped these trims on a slightly different shade chidrens seat and only remember removing screws - it was some time ago though - might well be having a senior moment :unsure:
  11. Since the upgrade - I can't seem to see other peoples vehicle details anywhere, is this something I've done or is everybody in the same situation. Glen, is it possible to enable this as an option on this version of the board, it is very useful to when replying to questions. anybody else missing this? Having had a quick look on the picasso form it appears that their vehicle details appear just below the avatar - please can we have ours back :unsure: :unsure:
  12. who knows - register and we'll bring the boys (and girls) round :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: quake, tremor..... B) :D
  13. hi stupid -- no not really :unsure: IIRC - if I remember correctly
  14. What do you mean Mumof4??? the picasso site has loads more smilies that we have...clowns/beer/happy birthday ones etc.. ahh - never look at the other side - somebody said it wasn't safe - can catch all sorts of things apparently :unsure: :unsure:
  15. I've just noticed that I've lost the info on each members car on the LHS - is there a setting that I've missed somewhere, I found it really useful when replying :unsure:
  16. B)--> QUOTE(tony b @ May 20 2006, 18:45:17) 64199[/snapback]Can anyone tell me what the space just below the stereo is for!!! Spare radio or something :D Wondered if it was for a graphic equaliser or something :unsure: :unsure: :unsure: Thanks guys do you mean the head unit in the dash - ours (MKII with a rds 5000 - double din) only has the climate control/aircon below it - no gap, do you have a single DIN aftermarket unit?
  17. IIRC these are held on with screws under caps
  18. What do you mean Mumof4???
  19. ok errors seem to have disappeared now
  20. does look nice - I just tried posting this as a new topic and got an error - will try a test post in the internet thread - if it appears mumof4 can you delete it - cheers
  21. how many more seats do you want to shift :D :D
