Terry B 65 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 slight thread drift These are the exact words on an instruction manual for a portable DVD player I bought for someone a cuppla weeks ago: "When the dvd have unusual sound and smell such as splintering and poop, please switch off the power line as soon as possible." I have a photo of the instruction book to prove it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrWatson 357 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I think the owner had taken the lens cover off to replace thh bulb.. and were simply not up to the task of recapitulating it's original orientation. Frightening, nonetheless. I've no experience with French cars other than with an old 205 driven by a girl from Paris... the wiring was the least of my worries..
