I think you mean the "cathode" I still remember when valves were the norm in TV sets and the engineer coming round to fix the "rental" that my dad had at the time! Simon.

Yes thanks. I hope I understood the pricing scheme though Simon.

Finally got round to getting the ticket. I hope it gets though that billeto okay? Thanks, Simon.

Sorry, couldn't make this one as away on holidays with grandkids. Now we need another holiday ... Simon.

Sorry, we couldn't make this one as both down with flu like symptoms and still trying to get over them. Simon.

Just found the cause of your problem Terry ... Glad to hear you are on the mend - albeit slowly. Take care though. Simon.

Are you testing using the "diode" setting on your meter? If so, that could be reading the 0.75 volt drop that is normal for a diode. A diode acts like an open circuit when the wrong way round in your circuit and a short circuit when the right way round. If you place a low watt lamp and diode in a series circuit from your battery, most of the battery voltage will appear across the lamp with a small 0.7 volt drop across the diode. Hope that helps? (It's late and I should be in bed !) Simon.

A true Li-Ion battery is quite small, very light and costs many hundreds of pounds, so it's unlikely to be that. I saw some on sale at one of the car shows which surprised how light they really are. (except in cost ... ) Simon.

Terry, you are really lucky and we're glad that you are still here after looking at those pictures. I hope your polishing didn't include the tyres ... Get well soon and my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. Simon and Christine.

Sorry, we could not make this one. Hope to see you next year ... Simon.

Ha ! Thanks for the thought but I more likely need more space so may be selling mine off. I may make a smaller one though ... Thanks, Simon.

Many thanks to all the warm comments. Look forward to this weekend at the E.o.s bash. Simon and Christine.

Hello, Myself (Simon) and Christine + Sooty (Dog) should be there too with some archery gear but would need a few straw bales as backstops. Thanks, Simon.

If it's still under warranty, that would be your best option. I might have been able to help you find the faulty part though. It would be interesting to know if the dealer repairs it or just sends out a replacement board - probably the latter I think as no-one seems to "repair" things now. Simon.

To all those folks to whom I mentioned the loss of my mobile phone. Well, it finally turned up again ... Safe and sound on the bedside shelf where I'd left it ! Simon.
