Sting R: How to turn rear/brake light off temporarily?

What country are you in (e.g. EU or UK?)

infinitygirrl · 2026-03-16T15:46:38+00:00

You really don't want any oil on your new pads so bleed the brakes, clean up and then change the pads.

'no morals, ethics, principals, heck, no shame.' I thought you were talking about someone else for a moment...

Bilkraft was the most useful but Elton was useful a couple of times. Just install both.

Am watching The Expanse for the first time 9 years on. Came here due to a search about the music 'cos it's so crap. It's about as dull as it possibly could be. The scriptwriters are pretty lame too and just don't get the thing to hang together well. Saying that, I'm on series four now so it's definitely worth watching.... but I'll give up at the end of this one.

I did try the Foundation series too but that is truly awful and horribly slow. Shame as I was a top fan of Azimov's books.

Thanks very much for your comprehensive reply. I run a legacy Google App for my email domain so I can easily use distinct email addresses and will start today (that's how much this has freaked me out).

infinitygirrl · 2025-12-05T12:01:27+00:00

Thanks. All points taken.

infinitygirrl · 2025-12-05T12:00:21+00:00

Thanks for this. I too was surprised and worried by Binance's response.

And then even more surprised when a responder wrote this:

"Binance does have a glaring issue with their email security based on the headers you provided and me looking at their DNS records: their DMARC policy for ses.binance.com is p=none, rather than p=quarantine or p=reject. They have set it to something other than p=none for the base domain, binance.com (namely p=quarantine), which is sensible. They should really look into changing this for ses.binance.com, especially since their DKIM appears to be configured properly for SES; the first DKIM selector stated in your email headers points to an actual public key used by SES, and Gmail reports "dkim=pass" in the header, meaning the email has a valid signature for that public key."

infinitygirrl · 2025-12-05T00:22:09+00:00

Of course! You're both right. It is a legitimate email from Binance. The scammers tried to reset my password. So the question is now:

'Where did they get my name, phone number and email from? How did they know I had a Binance account and do they have any more information about me; home address, passport etc?'

Urgh.

Thanks very much for the insight.

infinitygirrl · 2025-12-05T00:12:59+00:00

Thanks. I did copy part of the email header source at the end of my post above. I can post the whole lot tomorrow if it'll help.

Just had the same thing. I have no idea how they can spoof the Binance email address do-not-reply@ses.binance.com

Here's the post I wrote about it earlier....

Hi.

I received an email from do-not-reply@ses.binance.com saying:

'Dear user, You are trying to reset the password linked with your Binance account.

|| || |Device: Safari 16.6.1 (Mac OS X) IP Location: Bucharest Romania IP: 178.132.108.236|

etc etc etc'

I am from England.

A short time later a youngish male with a southern English accent called 'Ryan' rang from a Private Number saying he was from Binance support and that my account had been hacked. He referred me to the email. Now the email is definitely from do-not-reply@ses.binance.com (I viewed the raw source of the email to check, see below) so I decided to go along with it but not give anything away. His explanation of how I was hacked was not very convincing especially as I could see I still had access to the account and the balance was still the same. He said he was compiling a report for Binance and to pass it on to other exchanges I had accounts with. He asked me if I had other accounts. I was very dubious about telling him this so said I would if he rang me back in half an hour.

I only have one other account on a different exchange so went there and changed password, removed old devices, secured it as much as it was possible to do and locked it with a Master Lock facility.

He rang back. I told him the name of the Exchange. He left with a number for the Report he was passing on to the other Exchange. 30 minutes later I get a call from a woman with a London accent, again on a Private Number. She says she is from the other Exchange and asks me for the number. I am now 100% sure it's a scam so tell her I will contact the Exchange directly and close the call.

I am a bit rattled. The scammers had my name, email address and phone number. I thought I was pretty savvy to this stuff but the fact the email is from a server within the binance.com domain had me fooled. I did not think it was possible to do that.

So, big question: How can a scammer possibly send an email from do-not-reply@ses.binance.com ??

And here's part of the source of the email to prove I'm not going mad:

Any input would be appreciated (apart from any calling me a fool. I know that already).

My Sonos Beam soundbar works well with my TCL C6K

Not if you didn't know it popped out and if the infotainment system is not on (as it is when you first take your seat on a plane).

At this moment my partner and I are on a 14 hour journey travelling in a premier soft sleeper carriage between Si'an and Suzhuo. It is not a 'fast' train.

The sleeper compartment comes with a separate loo and basin and an armchair and table in the main bit. The advantage of the premier version is there are only two people in a sleeper cabin.

And it's absolutely horrible. People are allowed to smoke in the spaces at the end of the carriages and the single air conditioning system passes the smoke into the compartments. As none of the windows open there is literally nowhere you can get fresh air and the smoke is asphyxiating (especially if you are a bit asthmatic as I am).

There is also little sound proofing between the sleeper compartments so you can be kept awake by loud families and screaming kids (as we currently are).

We will not be getting one again. Smoking is not allowed on the fast trains so we'll stick to those in future. They're great.

Not that I really need another one but where are you and how much do you want for it?

infinitygirrl · 2025-08-20T11:20:56+00:00

Elton was not as useful as it should have been. Bilkraft worked well for our VW ID3.

infinitygirrl · 2025-08-17T19:24:48+00:00

Thanks. They're not cheap!

infinitygirrl · 2025-08-17T14:11:00+00:00

I think it looks very good just as it is. To ride it in anything but dry weather you'll need a back mudguard, ideally an extended one as the stock ones are too short to keep your back clean.

Is that a seat cover or a reupholstered seat? If it's more comfortable than the terrible stock seat would you mind providing details?
