Hi All. I'm busy with a full audio install in my Forester and I'm really struggling to find the correct interface for the steering controls. I've managed to find the diagram for the OEM radio and I've done a basic tie in just so I can get the reverse camera working, but I'm not having any luck...

Hi all, and especially people that are interested in cars like I am. My neighbour who is an elderly lady is moving out of Jhb, and selling her 2006 C2 VTR which has hardly been used for the last 2 years. due to her failing eyesight. I'm battling to find a value on this car as there aren't many...

My elderly mother has a Pace DSTV decoder, and it still works surprisingly. We are moving her to a care home on the weekend and there is a DSTV point in her room and obviously the PACE won't work there as it has a completely different dish setup. 1 ) What is the cheapest decoder on the market at...

Hi all. Anyone use Aliexpress for bits and bobs ? I'm looking for SMA and IPX connectors, cables and antennae. Thanks

Is it hard to get used to the new look after a decade, or is it just me ? This is the first time I'm posting items for sale, and struggling to say the least, to make it fair on everyone who responds. Is a " conversation " the new way of sending a private response or what used to be a message ...

I purchased this a few months ago to use as my starter amp for my AE2's I set it up in my workshop fed by a LINN CLASSIK and running a pairof AR6BX's. All was fine except there was a hum from both transformers, but it wan't too excessive. Everything was fine for about a week and suddenly the...

I picked up a pair of these last week from a colleague who is emigrating. They were made by Canadian Ian Paisley. These were brought into SA by his father from Canada in the 80's, and he has had them since new. i hooked them up on the test bench and there was very little bottom end for a cab...

There have always been only 2 speakers which I have wanted to own in my lifetime. The first was a pair of Meridian M2's which I saw and listened to at a hifi show when I was a young lad, and the second was the AE2's. I had never heard them, but when I first saw them in a hifi mag with their...

Hi all. I have a Chromecast audio puck which is currently connected to an AUX in on my amp with a cheapie 3,5mm to RCA cable. I'm streaming Youtube music and have just signed up to Tidal. Everything works 100%, and actually sounds very good. I'm looking at options to improve the current setup...

I'm looking for the cheapest decent wired noise cancelling headphones. I think I need a pair for every member of my household, so that I can make as much noise as I like without complaints. Seriously though, anything reasonable that wont break the bank. A friend recommended some JBL's that they...

Hi all My son needs a computer for CAD (and obviously a bit of gaming ) with a dual monitor and decent graphics card. Where can I find a company that builds PC's to your specs, that doesn't break the bank ? Any advice on graphic cards and how much RAM is needed, would be appreciated. Based in...

It seems I'm the only person on the planet that managed to blow a cylinder head gasket on a Nissan 2.4 16V motor. The useless idiot of a mechanic ( recommended by a friend ) did a half job and stalled for 3 months so I sent a tow truck to retrieve it and bring it back to my house. The engine is...

Whilst on the subject of 4 wheels, I might as well ask if anyone is selling or knows of a small automatic for sale. I'm basically looking for a car for my 87 year old mother who has being driving her Corsa for 20 years, and at her age, it's not the easiest thing to drive anymore. She only pops...

Hi all. Is anyone here involved or know someone in professional Kart racing ? My younger son (14 ) is keen to race, but I would like to arrange a test, or hire a pro kart first before I commit to being poor forever. He seems to have potential, as he is within a few 10ths of the lap record at all...

I thought I should share my casting process which I am currently busy with. It all started when I purchased a SANSUI SE 7 Eq from Vleisman a few weeks ago. It had one missing slider knob. As it had 19 good ones, I thought it would be easy to copy one, and searched the net for different types of...

Hi. I have an original Explora as my main unit running off a dual LNB and through that switcher box thingy that was supplied with it. At the other end of the house I have a HD PVR 2P  on a separate dish also with a dual LNB  cabled straight to it. There is a heartbeat cable linking the 2...

Hi. I thought I might ask here for advice on whether I should repair a vehicle, or sell it as is ? The vehicle in question is a 2005 Nissan Hardbody 2.4  DC. I bought it in 2006 with 9000km on the clock and used it almost daily as my work vehicle and to take my MX bike to tracks on weekends. My...

Hi all. Does anyone know if higher end Sansui direct drive turntables ever landed on our shores like the SR 838 ? I once owned a 222 mk2 which I unfortunately sold a long time ago, but would prefer something more upmarket to complete my AU7 rack system. Thanks in advance.
