Reject, did you get it cheap ? 😜

Just waste their time. Surprising how long you can keep them on the line while you try to catch your escaped parrot which is ripping the wallpaper off while perched on the curtain pole. Just have to apologise now and again for keeping them waiting while trying to help you. Try it, lots of shouting in the background helps.

I've been out in the car on a 22 mile round trip, parked twice so 3 starts from home and back. Nothing running heaters etc. Stop / start feature turned off, eco mode turned off ( which had been on ) . Pulled up outside house, car not running, put meter on battery, now showing 12.51 v. Going to try without eco for a while just out of curiosity.

So can you recycle lithium with alkaline batteries and NI-MH rechargeable batteries ? Hope so 😧. Cause I have.

I thought that was one in America . Unless I'm wrong, there was one in London area. It was suggested lithium battery to blame.

So should we all be terrified or just careful with our batteries ? Laptops, torches to name a few. They'll be banned under health and safety before long. If a lithium battery is just sat on a surface, is it a danger, or is it only if shorted out. What causes it to explode ?

Mine seems to like the AA 16g field. Used to use other brands but I suppose the same make manufacturer of gun and pellet seems sensible. In the AA xtra fac I do use Hades though.

Wow, what a powerful video. A ruthless but genuinely nice guy.

Mine is .22 with a 10 shot mag fitted,and to be honest, in my opinion I don't consider a sub 12 ft lbs to be 50 plus yds air rifle. But looking at this video it can be done, but I have other rifles for those distances. My personal longest shot with mine is 32 yds, and that is a one off, usually up to 20 yds is my limit. Now I use it just for rats and the odd squirrel.

I like old Butterbean.

Exactly the same as mine. Wish I could use it like Si though.

There used to be a product called shoe goo, didn't find it much good. Tried epoxy resin, where you mix the glue with the hardener in equal amounts. From a double tube . Seemed to be working on wife's shoes at the moment. Cheap from Poundland

Just put a meter on the battery, car not running, EFB 60 amp battery showing 12.34 v Car is 19 plate 5 years old. So is a dealership the only option, to do software ?

Well " Betsy " ( all my cars have been named Betsy ), is playing up again. Petrol gauge problem seems to be ok at the moment. A symbol came and went on dashboard of a circle with a diagonal line. Then instead of saying " all systems ok " on startup when key is tuned to position 1, it has intermittently said " check start / stop ", and the stop start switch lighting up without being pressed, then starting like a weak battery sound. This has happened twice in two days. First thing I do when the car is running is shut stop start off normally , and I run the car on " eco ". A Google of the symptoms point to a new special expensive battery with a software update.Dealerships are pushing our normal garages out of business. With all these new fandangled accessories on newer cars. Anyone else gone through this with a suggestion, or is it the dealership route.

Without giving the ending away not to spoil it for anybody currently watching the series. There are 6 episodes and I've watched them all, but don't understand why the " baddies " done it. Was it just for the ransom.

Based on that advice, if I find myself needing another to fit the Pard I will get the correct one. Thank you for pointing it out.

It is the Gen 2, external ir is fitted via a picatinny rail on top. One thing I have noticed, don't know if it is a ploy to only be able to use their own brand batteries. My other brand batteries have a slightly larger diameter compared to the one that came with it , meaning they will not fit. Might try peeling off the outer to reduce diameter a little.

To be honest no. I didn't realise that you could, and of course it's raining now. I have ordered a VCSEL budget £50 it which after talking to supplier should help things. When I have received and tried it I will report back, it might be useful information for others. I had never heard of VCSEL .

I have a Beretta " collection 86 ". It was a marketing ploy where the woodwork was multi-coloured paint like finish, to appeal to women to take up clay shooting. Don't think it took off very well and the woodwork was reverted back to standard finish. They also done a collection 85. They are basically a 686 model. It hasn't been out in the rain, used a lot or abused in anyway and is still stiff to open. Great gun, my Lanber is a field model and lighter with 28 inch barrels and swings fast. The Beretta has 30 inch barrels and being a sporter and heavier swings as if it just does it's own thing, if that makes sense. Recoil is negligible. Would I go Beretta again, definitely.

Hi John, yes I have thought of keeping a can handy, I don't do many long journeys but definitely something to consider. I don't think I will ever have 100% faith in it. I read pages and pages of this problem, and it is a very common question in the Dacia forums. The general concensus seems to be filling the tank too full. It was also a common fault in my Morris Marina, my second car in the 80's. Different type of gauge but still a pain. No software or electronics then.

Had to go for blood tests down surgery and looking at the gauge still showing 2 bars. Was sitting in surgery and contemplating whether to put £10 of petrol in to see if it would alter gauge reading. Came out put key in, and gauge showed 6 bars. Happy Days for now anyway.

Or this one at £50 850NM VCSEL IR Laser NEW version with with rotary dimmer & led indicator from Ludicrous Lumens.

I've been looking at various YouTube channels on the Pard in my op, and not being as knowledgeable as most of the members on here am getting confused. I understand LED illuminators, but had never heard of VCSEL illumination. Looking at some they are advertised as VCSEL but then mention LED in their description. I am reluctant to spend a lot of cash as my time shooting is slowly getting less and less. So, would this be a good choice for the Pard, see below , bearing in mind to be used on rimfires up to 75 yds ish. Or can someone recommend an alternative VCSEL, I'm not after distance, I'm after clarity, a less grainy image.

So I got a pard 007 sp lrf , but the target is grainy and not as clear as I thought it would be. I got a new SF Hawke scope which gives me the best image, but my 3 older AO Hawke scopes are the worst. The icons and reticules are very clear, but as stated the targets are grainy, and I'm talking about 25 - 50 - 75 yds. With the experience of you guys, would you think it is the older scopes or the " budget " type IR torches I am using ? Won't be used too often, but would expect to see better targets, namely the couple of rabbits which seem to be around. Also, what are the two 'o' rings and the smaller allen key supplied in the package for ? Can't see no mention in the manual. Edit to add - how good are the onboard ir's, ? They don't seem to improve target quality. Should they reach out to 75 yds ? If so it must be the older scopes. I have a mk 1 alpex on a .223, which works ok with my budget ir's , as did my good old photon.

I bought my 19 plate Duster new. Within the 3 year warranty petrol gauge playing up, showing lower amount of fuel than was actually in tank. Went in to Dacia dealership where they said they done something with the software, seemed ok. Towards the end of the 3 year warranty went again where they said they replaced sender unit under warranty. Now with the car just over 5 years old playing up again. Had 3 bars showing, put £25 of petrol in, gauge did not register extra fuel, in fact drove 3 miles home and dropped to 2 bars. Phoned garage to ask if possible the pump had problems, definite no. Pump seemed slow delivering fuel compared to other filling stations I use. I know there were suggestions not to fill tank too full suggested before to me, as this problem could be caused by doing that, and I don't. So, my question is, 1 - anyone else suffering this in their petrol Duster and 2 - will one of those plug in fault detection things show up the problem ? Thanks for reading.
