Well that really helps! not at all!! so I too Googled it. What a silly name for a BMW Mini! But Iguess you have to call it summat!!

First hit on Google explained it to me

So went and did the shopping. After Leclerc I went into Bricomarché, not expecting much luck in the soldering dept. But came out with a better soldering iron, some solder and..... The last desoldering pump on the display! Never thought they did...

No, he wasn't German

Anything to do with Mr Bean?!

I think you'll have to. Unless it is a variation on a Mankini!!!

I ain't telling him :vb-banana:

I must go back & see whats been going on.

Shall we tell you......

I hadnt heard it before but I got it right away. :D

Well you are ahead of me! Doubtless I'll find out eventually!

I had to think hard - and just worked out what a Bini is. Not a word I have encountered before :p

One of the dogs got hold of a hedgehog last night :mad::mad: The misses & her pal took it to the animal rescue centre to get checked over, they gave it antibiotics & said its having babys so we should put it back in the garden so it can go home...

Afternoon folks :). Wam here again (not the duo thats with an H) but we did have a couple of days of drizzle rain/sun. Not enough to top up the pool which could do with 100mm:oops:. When we have water we use it to do what we need so the pool...

Well they do say that in the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king! My problem is that we leave these things on when we aren't here to stop the pipes freezing up, basically, and clothes etc going mouldy, and paint etc in tins going off...

Sorry I must have misunderstood when you question the motherboard relays as a possible issue. So if you powered it up and it clicks on/off, is it the relay that clicks ? if so then the relay works??? but something is not holding it in. I have...

Oh everything from the stat onwards works fine, this is how we have been surviving until now, I shift the working stats around to get heat where we need it. I even have a really simple stat a typical bimetallic thing, that works across just the...

Its ages since I had to get my soldering iron out. I have also used a "solder sucker" for desoldering. Size of tips I think depends on how much space you have. But I think a big tip with plenty of heat will melt the solder quicker so may be...

Thanks mate! I'll give it a go if it seems necessary. As it is I'll be desoldering them last as they are a bit awkward to get at and not as easy to get off as the caps. TBH if the caps don't fix it, then it looks like it must be it. The whole...

Its worth just trying 12v in may click it enough to get continuity reading on the other side. J
