What ever you do all the best.

Re: International Tracking Problem
The trouble with a lot of stuff these days it's not so much "the computer sez no!" as much as "the computer doesn't know what you are on about" - if it isn't in the list it can't do it. Ask him if it has a manual set up mode, if it has he should be able to punch in the values fo...

Re: No horn
