Re: Can the CD changer play burnt CD's?

I tried the TDK CD-80R 700mb 80min again and it worked fine but the difference being I had also put a commercial CD in the cartridge. The headunit detected the commercial CD and then i was able to choose the burnt CD. 

Oh and I burnt the CD at 2 x speed.

Thanks for your help fellas

I had tried TDK CD-80R 700mb 80min which didn't work.  I'll try the lower capacity CD-R 650mb as you suggest.  Cheers

Can the CD changer play burnt CD's?

Has anyone been able to get their CD changer to recognize a ...

Re: oh we are so screwed in Australia

Good work on sorting it yourself. I think because its your own car you take more time to diagnose the problem rather than a mechanic who's always looking for the quick fix or assuming your car has the same problem as others.

BTW if you are near the northern beaches I use a mechanic based in manly ...

Re: Possible battery drain?

Classic...hedgehog is a great name for it as it certainly looks like one. 

My mechanic now has a hedgehog burn on his forearm after accidentally leaning on it when he removed it.

Re: Possible battery drain?

I know this is going to sound random but the cause of my flat battery was the internal fan control unit. Its a module that sits up under the dashboard and controls the internal fan. Mine had been coming on when the car was locked and draining the battery. A symptom of this part failing was the dip ...

Re: Tyre Recommendations

Hi Phil, which comparison site did you use?  I have to get new tyres shortly and I'd like to get the best possible tyres I can for my money.  Tyres is the one thing I like to spend a little more on as they are the only 4 contact points with the road.
