I'm glad I had the car today! After torrential rain last night and strong winds carrying on today....
The sun came in brightly through the gallery windows...but outside you could see the trees waving in the wind!! Just over a hundred footfall..but not many giving more than a cursory look, and few wanting to talk..and three sales!! That was with two coach trips in the grounds...
Glad too to arrive home with some energy to spare! I've packed the greenware (=unfired clay) in the car ready to go to a fellow potter to be fired.
I've been messaging with the Oily one to work out how to sort a long standing problem with the car...the switch on the internal fan doesn't work.. which is ok in the summer...the fan for the engine does work ok, especially as he fitted a new thermostat for me!! I know that I'll need the bit that fits behind the central panel and has all three knobs on it....and it is a matter of getting the correct one for the year and model.....we'll get there ok!!
It is that but under the radio/CD player....and has anyone any idea how to get a stuck disc out of the player?...I like Pink Floyd's "Dark side of the Moon"....but I'd like to be able to have something else as well!!!

I would be happy to listen to dark side of the moon on every trip.
Yes...but not constantly!!
In bad weather it is good to have the car option.
Plus going to the gallery and getting home at a reasonable hour is beneficial.
Maybe YouTube has some tips on fixing the fan and the audio player.
Oh dear, cars! Such a headache when one of the things not necessary to operation, but necessary fir comfort or pleasure--goes away!
Hmmm, sounds like DSOTM may have to be mangled in removing it . . .
Mr Google has some videos . . . depends on whether the eject button still works - eg it's got a motor trying to eject it still.
We've used YouTube and others to diagnose that it is just the switch. Unfortunately it doesn't come separately to that panel
Other copies are available!
Everything works except getting it out
Good luck!
If you figure out how to get the stuck disc out please share. I have been listening to an early music Christmas for far too long. Now it's stuck. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!
Some CD players have a small hole that you can poke a straightened paperclip into to release the disc, but I've no idea if that is true for car players?
Worth having a look.....
I'll have a look at the manuèl....when I can get at it...it is at present in a car very full of bike bits and I can't get at the drawer!!!
Not sure which is worse 😄
Just caught up on your last week - the car is back!!! Hooray - independence and freedom. As to the CD, no clue - I do recall on DVDs occasionally having success when the eject button tried but failed to use coersion with a knife (to advise the DVD to stay "up" and come out as opposed to returning to its lair), but that may be up there with using a knife in the toaster as a suggestion.
Google or YouTube should be able to solve your problem. Otherwise, try a crowbar. 😄
Hi, I once put two CDs into a car player at once. They would not come out! In tbe end I used a thin ruler with some double sided sticky tape wrapped round it. Put the ruler in, pressed down and the top CD stuck to the tape and I got it out, and then the normal player mechanism could eject the single CD left behind. Kay x
It’s great to hear about you potting (is that the word?) again. Good for you!!!
I’d be interested in photos of the work along the way—I mean, like this “green ware” process, etc. (I don’t have the vocabulary but I guess I mean from fresh clay to kiln?)
Now that sounds interesting...
Ok....greenware is unfired, then biscuit/bisque firing unless things are single or once fired...and after a bisque firing the glost or glaze firing.
