  1. Tarmac is only a general term on runways. The larger ones are concrete, some with a relatively thin asphalt layer. I think it's de Gaulle or Orly airport in Paris who change one big slab of concrete every single night then by the time they have finished, start again at the beginning so there is no disruption.

  2. Imagine what was going through the passenger and crew minds. Especially those who watch Aircraft investigation and seen bad outcomes of landings with faulty gears.

    How can it without witness marks?....

    Do you mean on the ground? It's been moved. You can tell by the proximity of the grass as well as the lack of any marks. They clear and repair the runways as quickly as possible. 

  3. Do you right-click and open in new window, or left click then hit your back button? I wonder if it is marking odd ones read and auto-refreshing?

    For unread/new posts, I use this which shows in order and bold but also keeps the read ones, just not in bold. This could have the same issue but at least it will still be in the list just not bold.

  4. Well those are just hotel rooms so the assumption would be you'd be eating out, although there is an area above the waterline that may have something in.

    I was watching Impossible Engineering on Discovery and they are building floating homes with underwater bedrooms. The rest is above water. It's effectively a house shaped boat that has utilities connected. Silly money though.

     

    No problem if you have a leak: :lol:

  5. Found the images to it but not the write up. Basically you strip back the sheath on the existing loom without breaking the copper. Create an "eye" with something pointy in the copper. Put new wire through and twist it all together. Then tape it up with Fireproof insulation tape. (not stuff from Poundland). Soldering can cause more problems because if the wires vibrate, they can break as they join the solder joint because it is so hard. 

    Lets see how it is with the Scotchlocks first - you'll probably find they are ok.

  6. Yep, yellow is permanent for the memory and Red is switched (ign).

    Scotchlocks aren't the best but usually ok and you would get something even if you had a bad connection. (flickering, switching off, clicking from the speakers, etc.) You can strip the wires back and make your own connection without soldering. I did a little write up a while ago, I'll dig it out.

    Looked it up and there is also a fuse in the engine compartment labelled Audio or Radio no2 depending on revision.

     

  7. Green wire is right. Yes, the TRC OFF switch should have night illumination too so suspect the lamp has gone.

    There is little to the heater circuit so I can't see how it could damage the illumination supply - if it did it would take out the illumination fuse and all others would be off. All the illumination cabling is wired together.

    Silly question and I'm sure you have tried this so forgive me for asking but have you swapped over the heater switches just in case the lamp has gone in it and you hadn't noticed?

    It looks good in there! Did the surround come with it or did you have to make it up yourself?
