Thread split from old one due to offtopicness

Cheers, admin

Plus, yeah, give the public an idea of what the reality of what they're doing.

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there. :)

Nonsense!

The only times I'll correct people on spelling and grammar:

A. The whole passage is an absolute nightmare to read.

B. It's a formal piece of writing.

C. They're correcting people on forum spelling/grammar but make a mistakes themselves. Example:

Yeah good one, and you actually write for a news paper? Quality English you have there. :P

Yeah, good one. And you actually write for a newspaper? Quality English you have there.

And before anyone has a go at me for starting a sentence with a conjunction, it's widely accepted as correct grammar these days in the right context - just look at this sentence.

Back to work/trolling.

I will never accept conjunctions at the beginning of sentences. It's just not cricket. I think it is like accepting 'txt' speak in school exams.

Here's your conical hat and there's the corner!

Don't dunce me you dunce. When used in conversational writing (particularly discussion/argument/debate), it's quite acceptable. Grammar is pretty subjective these days anyway - we only have hard and fast rules for the most basic stuff.

It's the editor's job to fix up spelling / punctuation - besides, this is an internet forum, not an Oxford dictionary.

Oh dear

Being dyslexic I have a lot of head ache trying to write something this simple, the thing that I get annoyed with is, internet worriers correcting every one when they them self can not get it right.

As pointed out already its a forum not a Oxford dictionary. Who cares as long as you can understand what is being said (clearly they can because they correct it)

Really at the end of the day when it comes too formal stuff its nobody else's concern as the only person that should have to worry about it is the original author.

Just my 2p

I love correcting my GF on spelling since she's dyslexic too lolz :)

TBQH this forum has some of the highest standards of spelling and grammar of any I've ever posted on. Usually any mistakes on my behalf are due to laziness or tiredness or stealth mod edits.

Ok, maybe I should not have said that sparking a completely off topic discussion.

So when Jeremy Clarkson says, "Some say................, and that..............., All we know is....

This is the same use of the word and, is it not?

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

      Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.

      Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
