        Wow, if the word ‘Forumite’ had not caught my eye, this would have been gone with the junk. Knightmare from the MM Forums BTW!! Happy New, Birthday, Christmas and anything else I missed off!

          The easiest way I would think of getting round your problem is probably to used named cells and named ranges and having the relevant sumif and countif function on the relevant sheet.  Without seeing the worksheet it would be difficult for me to see what is actually happening.

            The rarest 50p is Kew Gardens, it’s worth 50p however since its rare most buyers will pay around £100 to £150 for a circulated coin, and between £15 – £50 for an un-circulated coin since they are not as rare, there are however a lot of Chinese fakes entering the market which have distorted the value of all 50p’s.

            Paddington is a new release since the mint has not released official figures as to how many will be minted its value is 50p and anyone paying more is likely to pay upto £50 until the final mintage figure is released. £16,100 is likly to be a fraudulent bid. The name and date on white paper is a standard way of saying I’ve found a new release, it also prevents you from using stock ebay images to sell.  The 2 coins appear to be different since coin 1 has a a mark on Paddington that coin 2 does not, both pics are of poor quality though.

            Change Checker is a good source of all things 50p.

                My EE S7 just produced 30.4 down and 1.28 Up on 4g(literally 1 bar)

                Daughter’s  LG G5 on Giff Gaff 11.8 down and 7.56 up on 4g (2 bars)

                  I discovered retropi yesterday, 24 hr’s later my NES itch has been filled moving onto my SNES itch now.  I’m going to look to move it to the Pi-Zero thats currently gathering dust I’m told it will work,  if it does there will be a new console in the living room!

                    Until the Rapberry Pi Model 3 Version B, Pi’s had no wifi ability this solved that. It should work on PC’s but according to them it will work on Pi’s

                          The GTC was never the car it could have been, the VX Zafira I had on test worked quite well with android on on and LG G5 and an S7 that said they are both running nougat.  And yes the CS ain’t the worlds greatest.

                            I’m now decided, if the car doesn’t have android auto, on offer, I would still not opted for a oem nav option.  

                            Any VX with Onstar supports Android Auto as of 2018 VX say/claim all new cars will come with it as standard, the commercial fleet to follow by 2020.

                              SRi denotes level of trim/luxury, there are however,as always variations: SRi, SRi Nav, SRi Leather and SRi Nav Leather. There 1 Spec levels below SRi,  ‘Design’.  The one thing that can be said About VX is their options limitations

                              That thread I linked to is massive but I think the story ends with nobody being any the wiser it work work or it won’t but there no in between ground, It is possible that the wiring in your car is not fully compatible. Somewhere in there there is a diagram showing which wire powers the Amplifier should you want it, but thats beyond my level of knowledge, if it ain’t plug and play these days expect a challenge.  Older models dependant on spec may have different wiring looms(spec dependant(it’s a VX thing)) which might mean the head unit will never work properly.

                              Anything VX from 14/64 has the trip computer as do all facelift, however anything before 17 may have one of two types of trip computer, dependant on whether or not you have Onstar. Anything after 67 will almost certainly have Onstar.

                                    I have read about these units in another forum,  the FM Issue is NOT an easy fix.

                                    If you brought the DAB+ antenna you need to sight it well though different cars have cause different results, my own opinion is that the actually signal reception you get in your area needs to be good.

                                    Others have tried fitting better car aerials to no avail.

                                    Due to the way these Units link into the cars systems you may find the car is no longer supplying enough power for the stereo, though this is a new one on me, I have not heard of others experiencing this, have you replaced the cars stock speakers. There’s also a suggestion that the outputs don’t match their labelling  ie. Front left is not actually front left but right rear you might try that and see if it solves the issue.  There if your car, as it appears is a Vauxhall, there are some active Forums supporting these cars out there and you may find that this unit has been fitted elsewhere.

                                     

                                    Cheers Knight,

                                        Out of interest could this damage have been home plug related, would a jolt to the electrics affect a homeplug like that?

                                          Does anyone actual go to the Google home page? If so why?

                                          The home page on the cadet unit computers use this as their home page, but many of the step by step guides for the tech illiterate start here and I am too lazy to change them ?
