  1. We are looking at a 20+ year old radio from a manufacturer that went bust in 2017 ( though since partialy resurrected). As such info will be hard to come by. As a long term JR user in the past I would lay odds that it indicates that the lithium button cell battery that was used for memory back up is flat. Replacement will involve locating it on one of the pc boards, removing it & soldering in a new one.
  2. As per Kim, from the distributers, Ripmax: http://ripmax.com/Item.aspx?ItemID=A-CF020A&Category=010-020-010
  3. I needed something similar for a UMX model and made up my own leads. XT60 to outside of the battery & balance plugs, with a common connector to the middle. Hopefully this will give you the idea:
  4. This appears to be a Data Protection issue. The Information Commissioner's Office issues guidance & there appears to be a case for reporting - or threaten to report - the operator &/or the estate agent to the ICO. See: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/cctv-and-video-surveillance/guidance-on-video-surveillance-including-cctv/additional-considerations-for-technologies-other-than-cctv/ which includes this example of acceptable practice:
  5. I stand by my post. Euro NCAP has incorporated Driving aids in its assessment since 2018 and is influential in their development. It also now assesses pedestrian safety in addition to occupant safety. See their comprehensive website including: https://www.euroncap.com/en/car-safety/safety-campaigns/2020-assisted-driving-tests/
  6. Basically any modern car with a 5 star safety rating. It is a Euro NCAP requirement for achieving high ratings. The requirements are regularly updated, what may have been a 5 star vehicle 3 or 4 years ago could now be 2 star if its systems have not been upgraded
  7. I've just had the exact same experience, again both EV's. In my Kia I adopted a pre-driving set up that required four button presses before setting off. In my new Mazda I just drive.
  8. Function List>Custom Voice Setup>select the Switch Allocated>select the Switch Pos you want to change then > scroll all the way left to get to the (Silence) option. Then start again. That on my DX9 Firmware 1.06. It's early firmware as I mainly use Jeti & it is now only used on old BNF models, so I have no need to update. Newer versions may be different.
  9. That's one out of 429 and is at the Raddison Blu Perth. Out of those 429, 327 charge 50p/kwh or less. 2 are free, which is definitely cheaper than petrol. https://chargeplacescotland.org/charge-point-tariffs/
  10. This is one of those 'Ask 10 modellers & get 11 different answers' questions! Here's last year's discussion on the topic, which includes my 2p's worth:
  11. My magazine collection has some gaps but I can see that the cam was present on the Bantam with the triangular box by Nov 59: In March 1960 there was still the split between diesel & glow: but by April 1961 they both had cams:
  12. The tin can't be Solarfilm solvent as that was di n butyl phthalate sold as 'Solarfilm Solvent' in small glass bottles, I well remember using it. It was withdrawn from sale pre 1990 when Solartrim was introduced. That's from this 2010 thread: As well as model covering material 'Solar Film' is a fairly generic name for reflective window films used to reduce glare & heat. I suspect the substance in the OP's tin will be associated with that market.
  13. Here's the earliest advert I can find, from August 1959, showing the introduction of the Quickstart spring.
  14. EMP produced a number of such models. EG from 1976:
