Its AI created, see how the coiled receiver lead doesn't go anywhere...

I've had a look through all the settings and can't find anything at all for changing where contacts are saved to. I assumed it would be possible, maybe some phones give you a choice and some don't. Re. phones being unlocked, I think if you get a phone from an airtime provider on contract the...

It depends what you want/need to do, most fairly basic phones are fine for most things. I always choose Samsung simply because we've had them repeatedly for some time and have been happy with them. Also we always pick dual SIM phones because we have quite a few numbers and don't want to carry...

Usually when you save a new contact it should give you the choice of saving them on the phone or on the SIM. Maybe you have a default setting somewhere on the phone which will automatically save it to one or the other location, if so it should be possible to change it or set it to 'always ask'...

There's no good news coming from here at the moment, the demolition has commenced on our neighbour's house

Thanks, such is life, flat out for ever it seems. Had a huge amount of rain lately and now as a result of driving rain saturating a hillside we've had a fairly nasty landslip. Not very big but some of the rocks are going to take some moving. Luckily the burglar didn't take a lot, in and out...

Laborious but writing down all contacts and re-entering them on a different phone guarantees data integrity unless you make a mistake... plus you've got a record of them if the phone breaks/SIM gets corrupted etc.

Got one on the front of my Series 3

Sorry I've not kept up with things of late, been a bit preoccupied with a load of stuff, starting with a break-in which was a bit of a shock because they prized the iron bars off a window. Also had the (W's) car serviced which for ease meant we went out in two cars to deposit and collect, which...

Not done a lot lately, have been tied up with some other things. Today got it down off the axle stands, it was laziness leaving it up on axle stands really but now I need them for something else... Also pumped up one of the tyres. They are all scrap really anyway but there's no point letting...

Stepped back in time briefly yesterday when I saw these for sale

There are loads of those on Utube if you feel like searching. Often in a case like this a tree has fallen and shorted out the LV, overloads it and sometimes boils the oil which can explode like this. The sparks can be the cables, the breakers or the internals once the oil shoots out.

I know someone who's got a nice double decker, I doubt he'd want a dent in it though :stars:

Good replies so far. Are you asking in order to keep track of what you spend vs what it is worth? Or are you thinking literally sale price later on? A couple of other thoughts, is restoration meaning its a wreck and you want to restore it to driveable or roadworthy, or all the way to 'good'...

Raining here tonight. Last time we had snow I still had my Santana...

Looks great, sort of what I guessed you might be aiming for when it was just the chain standing up.

It can work like that but I think this has gone beyond that stage. I wish she'd said something sooner and there might have been some chance. Not looking forward to the day it happens.

Well, they can't argue with that :) If there's no service that distant from a built up area it would be expensive to get it that distant, possibly impossible if needing to cross national park land. Better to be properly off grid anyway if possible.

We have LPG cooking as well, use a similar amount to you per year but in smaller bottles - about 4x 12.5kg ones. 60 per week on coal is quite expensive though. -2 is pretty bitter I suppose so you'll get through it fast.

Possibly the blindingly obvious but you mention disconnecting and reconnecting the battery +ve terminal - in addition to all the other suggestions make sure both battery terminal posts and the connectors are clean and tightly secured. If they are corroding, this may also extend to the cable...
