Watching Stargate in HD on channel 5 makes you realise that after 20+ years it might be time to ditch the laserdiscs

Yeah that does seem to happen a lot. Hats of to you for using it as a daily though. Hoping they aren't big jobs?

Bits that have lasted 25, 26, 27 years get replaced, and the new bits only last 25, 26, 27 MONTHS, if you are lucky. Somebody's making money somewhere!

Minispares do their best to manufacture parts to original spec but lower volumes now mean most big component manufacturers are no longer interested. Therefore price goes up or quality comes down to compensate....or in worst case both!

I've had a Battery regularly sit at 11.9v and still be able to start the mini, but then it does help that older cars don't have loads of electrics to power up.

Garages, no wonder the word "rage" features. Booked in, dropped off a day early and a week later, they haven't even started...
