What you need is a large, heavy duty seesaw. Work out the balancing points, then park the C1 on one side, and drive the Activa back and forth on the other side. That way they both get a workout!

I am in the happy position of having no problems to speak of Malcolm bar the one of being unable to listen to my MP3 player in my V6. I have no others :-D

What problem or problems do you believe I have? :? :twisted:

I wasn't going by price, just something to demonstrate a possible option to modifying a radio.

Indeed I do. It's to listen to podcasts of programmes I've missed :wink:

I've tried those cassettes in the past. All I've tried have been utter rubbish :cry: Ditto those little FM transmitters. can never find a clear frequency around these parts...
