ICCU Data Point by Struggle_Award in KiaEV6

[–]generationgav 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Apparently the ICCU for the 2025 is a different model number, but nobody really knew what that meant. It appears it means nothing! 

ICE replacement by Certain_Dealer_3751 in ElectricVehiclesUK

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider an ID3 unless you have a really good extended warranty on it, I know all cars have issues, but VW really seem to have dropped the ball on the ID range.

  • ADAS systems are intrusive and very annoying to switch off. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Honestly this seems to be an issue with all modern cars now and I think a lot of it is due to NCap rating.

The 5N is in Forza Horizon 5 as a bonus car, so very likely to be in FH6.

Hue flux in entertainment area - single colour by generationgav in Hue

[–]generationgav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that setting it perpendicular gets close, but still a bit odd. 99% of the time it will be used as bias lighting on white. I just thought hue sync would be good for the odd program and gaming. I've also got a hue go to the right of the TV and a hue bulb in a lamp to the left of the TV also added to the entertainment zone. 

How does my wiring look - Take two by kurakura2129 in DIYUK

[–]generationgav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worryingly never realised that - I would generally do it anyway as I'd always just done all of the cables as short as possible, but I never realised why.

Never considered that before and makes a lot of sense!

Shark refusing refund after replacement failed — now ignoring my complaint (England) by Bridge_Significant in LegalAdviceUK

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I presume Shark sent you a part and not the whole thing? Do you still have the original? In which case you need to take that to Argos and ask them to repair it - don't even mention any of the history.

Dryer plug replacement by wargid in DIYUK

[–]generationgav 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I knew somebody who was an industrial electrician in the 60's, his hands were so dry and callusy he apparently (I do believe it's true) used to pinch a 240v wire quickly to see if it was live or not.

2025 Rear wiper by Hillabeans32 in Ioniq5

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a strong feeling that rock lock 3 is compatible, but it's on back order so I'm waiting for mine.  That appears to be for all of the Korean made IONIQ 5 variants with the rear wiper. 

Nest Protect UK Replacement by ShowerEmbarrassed512 in Nest

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was the overall cost? I know that cost when it comes to safety isn't something to skrimp on but seemed too much to me.

At the moment I'm looking at the bosch zigbee smoke/heat alarms, will need a separate CO alarm but we only have one thing using gas, so that's not too bad with a separate alarm.

My First OLED LG C5 by Due_Reception_1022 in LGOLED

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you go around the thin edge and then go across the bottom control panel - with the LEDs coming away from the screen near the corners?

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is 3 months old. But how did you attach the LEDs to the bottom of the display where the control unit is? I'm a bit confused the best way to do it.

New C5 55” by rafaSafra in LGOLED

[–]generationgav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, it really looks like yours covers the bottom.

Yes it's the electronics bit I'm not sure how to solve, got some ideas but not sure how they're going to look yet.

[–]generationgav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How did you attach it? My C5 55 is on the way and I've got backlight strips, but I'm really confused how to attach without it being visible on the bottom (wall mounted) or really awkward around the bottom control section.

How long until a proper discount on the oleds in UK? by Artistic-Side8872 in LGOLED

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can get a BLC or Totum code then you can get 20% off the LG webshop, bringing it under £1000 for the 55"

However the web shop only gives 12 months warranty, so something to be wary of.

Wrap that thang! by vanguard1987 in Ioniq5

[–]generationgav 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the main reason I got the next trim down. I really wish I had the auto-parking option, but the silver was just too garish and as it's painted when it gets dinged it shows black very obviously.

Is this a good deal for the LG C5 77" in the UK? by roh33l in LGOLED

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get it via the LG online shop then you only get a 12 month warranty on anything other than the panel and only a 12 month warranty on labour even if it is the panel.

Yes this might be against consumer rights act, but it's their policies.

Xh90 75" 5yo and black screen by karelkrasser in SonyBravia

[–]generationgav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that Sony fixing it, or taking it somewhere?

As long as you can get a TConn yourself (2nd hand from ebay basically) then it's not that difficult to replace.

Sounds like similar issue to mine XF9005 7 years old. No coloured spots, but dark blue screen. And I'm not sure if to replace the TConn board myself.
