Yes, it is compatible. As soon as I get some free time I will try @BilalAhmad advice and see if I can get my sounds back.

My personal opinion on this, testing is made to find faults in cars. We have something similar in UK called MOT where cars over 4 years old are tested every year. There are 2 options. Wash off any leaks and bluff through the test. The second is if you love your car, listen to them, fix any problems and your car will last longer.

It all depends on your nationality/passport. Some people can just go through and get visa on arrival, some need to be prearranged.

Thats really good to know! I will send you whatsapp.

I need IPA for something else. Is that in your scope?

Looks a bit like a VW Amarok. Smells a bit like a Devel Sixteen.

Hopefully I can pay you back one day if you have car troubles.

Exactly, you have never experienced these cars other than reading online reviews so your opinions are just that, opinions and not based on real world experience. “Opinions are like assholes your honour, everyone’s got one” - Larry C Flynt I only deal in facts and real world experiences. Opinions are meaningless.

Don’t get me wrong, windows 10 has its pros. It’s fast and there is a lot of software available. I’m using it on an acer spin and it loads fast. It’s the forced updates I can’t handle. When you want to use it, it’s out of action updating itself. I have an old Sony vaio just sitting in a cupboard for 2 years and I’m trying to revive it hence the Linux experimenting. Decentish spec 2.4 ghz, 3gb ram, 300gb hdd so it’s a shame to waste it. I’ve already formatted it and it’s only running Linux and a few apps like libre office. Zero bloat. It’s so good to have the hard drive space back again. If I can get it up and running properly I’ll buy a new battery and replace the hdd with ssd.

Ok I ran, inxi - Fxz inxi wasn't installed so i ran, sudo apt install inxi then rebooted When I go into sound settings, sound is being played through dummy output Then I tried, sudo alsa reload barry@barry-VGN-CS26G-R:~$ sudo alsa reload [sudo] password for barry: Unloading ALSA sound driver modules: (none loaded). Loading ALSA sound driver modules: (none to reload). So I'm thinking alsa isn't properly installed?

This is very true. I’ve even tried to disable through the system registry but still get prompts for updates. I will get the laptop up and running tomorrow and try inxi -Fxz and share the results. I’m new to Linux so still finding my feet and it’s hard to find basic information when starting out, most of it is all based around hardcore users.

It's the standard Intel HD audio card so the drivers are freely available. I have tried many things in the Linux terminal as sudo user, removing all options, reinstalling the sound card, changing the source code, but I still can't get the system to recognise it. The problem first manifested in an unsanctioned windows 10 update. You know the one, windows is like ok I have to update find something else to do because I am shutting your computer down for 45 minutes. I got fed up with windows updating so hard that the computer was unusable so I went to Linux. Now I can't get sound no matter what I do.

Currently using Linux on an old laptop I revived, Ubuntu 16.04. I love it. Beats the hell out of Windows or iOS. So much But, I have a problem. I have tried everything I know but I can't get it to recognise the sound card. All sounds are being sent to dummy output. Is there anything I can do to test if the card is faulty?

Just because you don't understand or like something doesn't make it crap. There are massive hatchback scenes all over the world and Ford have built some pretty cool Focuss (Focii?) and Fiestas. Light and fast can be just as much, if not more fun than a V8 heavy land yacht which has to be wrestled around corners. Fiesta models, XR2, Supersport, XR2i, Crayford, RS Turbo, Si, that's the older ones. Some good examples of them command higher prices than a brand new Mustang. Then you have the later ST models. 6.9 0-60, 159 BHP per tonne is nothing to be sniffed at, especially in a small hatchback. Many huge 4x4s can't even meet that figure. Then you also have the Fiesta WRC which speaks for itself. Incedentally, does anyone know why the Indian manufactured Fiestas are called Figo? With the Focus, standardish models, there was the Ghia X which offered Lexus luxury for a fraction of the price. Sportish wise, there was the RS. If you have a Mk1 Focus RS now, you can name your price for it. The later models have insane power. Even the "basic" ST model runs a 2.5 turbo Volvo engine which is crazy in a medium sized hatchback. Look at the limited edition RS500. It's what Mr Vader would drive. Now let's move to the WRC models, if it was good enough for the legend that was Colin McRae, it's good enough for me.

I started following stadium trucks a while ago. Always like to see something different. The suspension is amazing. The amount of body roll they achieve when cornering and how they cock a wheel up and still don’t roll.

This is true. But governments make a lot of money from taxing fossil fuels. If people start getting their energy from renewables, where will the shortfall come from? Its a fine line between paying petrol tax and breathing tax.

We are ready for new technology. The problem is the worlds governments aren’t ready for it. They will lose their income. How do you put a tax on the wind, the sun, the rain, without people rebelling under the pretence of social liberty and human rights? Also to add, he’s right nobody has any training. No offence meant to bengalis and iranis but they just land here and hope they can learn in the job, breaking customers cars in the process I will always be the first to admit I have no formal training, most of what I know, I taught myself by reading. These guys coming into the country and working on cars have no interest in reading. They just want money. Another point, the majority of mechanics in UAE aren’t petrolheads. They couldn’t give a shit about cars. It’s just a job. This is what sets mechanics like me apart. I am genuinely interested in cars, I have built many fast cars and I always want to further my knowledge.

Need a charging port replacement on a 5s. Would rather give it to a carnity member than the scammers down at the market

Just to get this right in my mind. The air from the blower fan is blowing into the engine bay? Mental. I never seen seals that bad before. If it's blowing under the dash, the only option is to seal the leaks. Foam is ok but it's not 100%. Patch it up with silicon and let it cure properly before it dries would be the only option for me.

Very true. In the European market, cars like the mustang or huge pickups like the f150 just don't make sense. The roads are too small and too policed. The fiesta, focus, and mondeo are bread and butter for them here.

Usually in a case like this, it's a blocked AC filter, it's also called pollen filter in some countries. I've done a couple this week. But as far as I know, the XJ doesn't have one. Maybe it is leaky ducts like Saleem said. Put your hand up behind the dash, see if you can feel air blowing out from somewhere it shouldn't be. If you have an air leak in the system, it could be a real pain to repair it. You might need to remove the dash and seal all the leaks with silicon, assuming you don't want to buy the original seals which are probably obsolete. Also just to add from your original post. If you're leaving your car in the sun, the AC has to cool all your pipes and your dashboard before it can put out cold air. The cold air might be there but all the hot plastics are heating it up by the time it gets to the vents. Consider one of those dashboard carpet things.

I still can't believe I'm reading this. I don't understand why Ford thought it would be a good idea considering the success of the current Focus and Fiesta. Ford are intending to drop to a 2 car lineup in the next couple of years, the Focus Active, kind of a jacked up faux SUV Focus, and the Mustang. The eventual plan is only to have the Mustang, SUVs and pickups. The saddest part for me is no more Ford WRC team. You can't throw a Mustang around a rally stage. They have had immense rally success with many cars, starting from the Mk 1 escort all the way up to the Cosworth versions, the Sierra Cosworth, RS200, Focus, Fiesta etc. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/abandon-car-ford-dropping-all-passenger-car-models-except-mustang https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2018/04/25/ford-kill-fusion-taurus-and-fiesta-cars/552148002/

As a professional, I say dont ever do this. Use a bead seater tank. in the real world I have done it many times but instead of using spray I had a half cup of petrol. Pour it all the way round the tyre, light it and the tyre will seat on the bead so you can inflate it properly with a mini compressor. Be careful. Don't hold a lighter near the bead. Last thing you want is to lose a finger stuck between the tyre and rim. Pour some petrol on the end of a stick, light it then poke the tyre. But be careful. Have something on hand to put out the flames. Inflate the tyre, remove the valve to expel the explosive gases then inflate it again.
