Sales Of Good Act of 1979

by Jambo, 24-10-2018, 05:58 PM

Yesterday I came to turn on my Playstation 3 that I purchased 3 years ago from Play.com. The system came on, an orange light flashed, then the console turns off. I cant get my disk out and the console is just a nice looking brick. There is a fix, but I dont have the tools.

However, after some searching I came across a "Sales Of Good Act" which states : For the purposes of this Act, the quality of goods includes their state and condition and the following (among others) are in appropriate cases aspects of the quality of goods : :

(a) fit for purpose,
(b) appearance and finish,
© freedom from minor defects,
(d) safety and
(e) durability (The item should last a reasonable time without fault).

Now, you can use this act upto 6 years from purchasing the product and can use it on many broken items.

There is a guy here http://community.eu.playstation.com/t5/P...-p/9976820 who managed to get a new, free, ps3 sent to him under this act. Im currently trying to do the same with play.com and will see how it goes.

winter tyres guide

by jay_russell, 24-10-2018, 04:39 PM

so as you guys are all getting alot of snow iand seem to need advice i will start a little thread on it for you.

first thing alot of people ask me is it ok just to put 2 winter tyres on the drive wheels.
the answer is no. think if you put 2 on the drive wheels and the go to turn and have no grip what so ever on the other wheels your just going to crash into something.
winter wheels have 2 marks on them. the first is m+s and you should never go by this as this is for the usa and means nothing but mud and snow....
the mark you want is the triangle mark with a snowflake insidehttp://www.wheelandtiredepot.com/snowflakesymbol.htm

next it's how much and whats best.

well there are a few things to thing about. the best winter tyres are going to be the best. they test them up here to find out how good they are at stopping and ice and snow use.

so are cheap winterr tyres bad..... no they just wont be so soft or will not have the best stopping time or grip but most of you driving on summer tyres will notice the difference.

so can i drive like normal with winter tyres on. the answer is yes but remember that stopping distance will still be longer and grip will still be reduced if you compare to a warm dry road in the summer and good tyres on.

smaller the better

yes the smaller( wide) your tyres are the better they will sink into the snow to help grip the road. wide tyres tend to float on the snow were there is no grip.

good winter tyres will look a bit like this with lots of ribs in the rubber to help grip


so if your going out to shop some winter tyres have a look at them. feel how soft the rubber is. it should move with pressing your thumb on it and if you try to wipe your hand over the tread then you will feel it grip your hand.

anything i missed just ask.

Lost the back end....arghh!!

by reganlives, 22-10-2018, 11:42 AM

Lost the back end on the car this morning whilst turning into my street and although I was going really slowly the car didnt stop in time and my rear right wheel hit the kirb. I've damaged the alloy quite badly but everything else looks straight. Is there any chance I could have done any other damage if so what could be damaged?

Any info on CR-X/del Sol please
