  1. +1 And does it have a resistor fitted?
  2. Nice piloting skills to put it down gently http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-15543209
  3. I would said i was cooking up a Dell-icatessen. Get it? Bum Bum
  4. If i need wikipedia to do my job its time to give up The led without a resistor fitted will not be the same resistance as a filament element bulb but will be if the correct resistor value is fitted to simulate a filament element bulb Dont forget that they are probably also doing this to help cars that have bulb failure indication.
  5. The resistor value is calculated to be the same as if a ordinary 5w bulb was fitted. I do understand that . But coming from an electrical engineering view less current is always safer. It's current that kills, not voltage. I will bear that in mind later when i am wrestling with 11,000 volts, iv'e only been a sparky for 31 years! All that i am saying is the led's with a resistor fitted are the same resistance as a oem bulb and whos to say they aren't fused resistors? They are made to be compatible with the cars oem specifications. 31 you old ***** you should know exactly the route I'm coming from then I understand what your saying an you should understand what I'm saying. Ps never lick a megger... OHM SWEET OHM Ohm's Law is the mathematical relationship between voltage, current and resistance. It is named after George Ohm, its founder. Ohm's Law states that the current in a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage across it, and inversely proprtional to its resistance. In simpler terms, the law states that more voltage will produce more current if resistance stays the same, but higher resistance will cause the current to decrease if the voltage stays the same. In our household plumbing example, we can say that Ohm's Law dictates that more water pressure will produce more output if the diameter of the pipe stays the same, but a smaller-diameter pipe will cause the output to decrease if the water pressure stays the same. With these three basic components, we have electricity. Current is "drawn" from a power supply due to the presence of a voltage placed across a load, or resistance. For instance, a typical electrical outlet has 230 volt potential (pressure- it has the capacity to give you 230 volts), but nothing is connected. If you put some load across its terminals, like a lightbulb or steam iron, you then have a complete circuit in which electrical current can flow. As we said before, a higher resistance will yield less current than low resistance. A direct short will cause a very large flow of current, because there is no resistance. If the supply is capable of delivering enough current, it is likely that the wire will eventually heat up and melt. This is why circuit-breakers and fuses are used. They limit current flow by opening (as opposed to shorting) a circuit before current flow becomes too large-- a 15A circuit-breaker will trip when the loads connected to that circuit try to pull more than 15A of current. Makes sense, right? Good. Ohm's Law is represented as the rate of flow of electrons, and voltage is represented as the electric charge between two points. Ohm's Law:V = I x R, where V = Voltage, I = Current, and R = Resistance.

All that i am saying is the led's with a resistor fitted are the same resistance as a oem bulb and whos to say they aren't fused resistors for extra protection? They are made to be compatible with the cars oem specifications. The one's without the resistor may work perfectly well and may not in the case of the zed upset anything

  8. Having followed this thread I now have 3 different types on order/arrived! I suppose the best thing to do is test the resistance on the originals and fit the ones that match the closest (resistance) unproven if it does or doesnt, I'm just saying is it the best policy +1 Would only fit one's with the resistor fitted.
  9. Did wonder about that myself so knocked a minute off so that i did not over do it. Was going to switch off at 8 minutes but nothing had caught fire at that point
  10. Can be a particular problem after a KK meet KK's finest
  11. Is yours a Dell? Like i said i pre-heated the oven to 200 degrees and placed the card on four silver foil balls positioned where the screws would go. Placed it on a baking tray and kept it in there for exactly 9 minutes (did it on my phone stop-watch) When the 9 minutes was up i quickly switched the oven off and opened the door then left it for a minutes allowing it to cool a little, then gently lifted the tray out all together and left it to cool down naturally. Guide to dismantling here http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/s ... /index.htm
  12. Yes i have seen some of the guides on youtube involving a towel to fix the xbox. A mate of mine is heavy into electronics and he is always moaning about lead free solder. Yet my brother who worked on the wiring systems for Stingray torpedo's for the M.O.D said they always used lead based solder for obvious reasons...................its more reliable!!
  13. I know i was shitting myself watching the graphics card cook in the oven But honest to god it work great now
  14. Yes common fault with the nvidia graphics card on this model Stew. Obviously just melts the solder enough to patch up any dry joints
  15. graphics card in the oven and it works Put put my XPS grapics card in for 9 minutes at 200 degrees C. Completley packed up last night so this was the last resort just rebuilt my laptop and its works perfectly!!!! Used these guides below http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/s ... /index.htm
  16. to the forum. 2007 was when the HR engine was introduced so probably a late registered 296bhp engined car.
  17. Having used the 452's on the 19" wheels I had on last 350 I would say go for 37, especially if you like to push on like SV I run my Toyo's at 37psi all round to compensate for the softer sidewalls, but last April on the Wales recce they had risen to 41psi all round by time we got to Betws-y-coed for a lunch stop! Yes it was a warm day but i cant say we drove at track speeds on the public roads. Colin can vouch he was there when i re-checked the pressure's with my Michelin digital guage.
  18. You might want to get that edited... Double :doh:
  19. Not back then, but did have the factory Nismo kit
  20. I remember now Little Miss (Charlie's) car started with OU05 And here she is bollocking some forum members a few years back now on a late Wales drive
