To become a blood donor people need to be in good general health, weigh more than 45kgs and be between 16 and 70 years of age.

Generally, if you have low or high blood pressure they will not let you donate. However you can come and try on the off chance you wont have low BP on the day!!!

Oh ok, thanks for that. I'll pass for everything except blood pressure (I'm not exactly sure what my pressure is, but my GP says it could be a bit low). I might book it sometime in the future and just hope my pressure's all normal.

There is a FAQ on the donateblood website about blood pressure. It's actually about HIGH blood pressure, but I think the answer is pertinent:

Medicines for the control of blood pressure are acceptable, providing your blood pressure is adequately controlled and stable.

If you are on meds to control your blood pressure, you may still be an acceptable donor. Check the actual problem with your doctor, then ring the Blood Bank (13 14 95) and ask them.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
