If its seized open could you not leave it as it is and install a new valve on top of the old Seeker?

i think amazon prime members get to buy on mp3. once you have bought it you can download the mp3 without having to play it on their player. its been a while but the last time i checked when you buy a cd you automatically get the mp3 as a download from your collection and sometimes buying the cd is cheaper. i personally just buy the cd then rip to flac.

dont know why you would want mp3 unless its for files size. flac is much better quality.

That works for some stuff, but a lot is stream only now, with no option to buy.

Mp3 quality is fine for me.

I have a Spotify account, and you can download (over wifi) to play offline to reduce data use. Never tried it as streaming music only seems to use a small amount of my allowance.

Seat navigation system.... is the worst i have ever had the displeasure of using in my entire life. unless you want to go pint to point then its a POJ. every time you try and put a "stopover" in it wont go directly on the road so you cant add it to the route.... furkin nightmare piece of junk.

why cant they just have a "via" button to type address.

come to think of it the whole "informant" system of the new car is just shizzz. well not fully as the radio part of the system is actually fairly straight forward and good.

If its like my VW one, put in the final destination first and start the nav. Then search for your stops and you get the option to add as a stopover.

It's probably the same as the one in my Skoda. I wasn't impressed either. I tend to use Google drive as it beeps a warning for speed cameras.

unless i'm dumb it doesn't give the option to add stops via postcode etc.etc. you have to poke a road and it always misses the road so wont let you add the stop. i think there is a way to add via favourites but why would i want all those stops as favourites.

also when you start the car the favourites target comes up instead of just going to the map.
