Nomad Straps on Sale in Australia

Nomad Straps on Sale in Australia

If you are a fan of Nomad Straps, Harvey Norman in Australia has a decent sale across the range they carry at the moment.

I got this 45/46mm Tempo Band in Lumen for $60 AUD from $99 AUD.

The 45/46mm fit the Ultra perfectly and are a little slimmer than the dedicated 49mm variant which reduces the overall bulk of the watch/band if that is something you are into.

I’ve got a couple of Nomad bands which wear extremely well and look just as good as they day I purchased them, despite a couple of years of use.

Harvey Norman had a variety of colours and sizes for the Nomad, Sport and Rocky Point band styles.

Thought this maybe of interest for anyone in 🇦🇺

26 KIA Sportage GT Hybrid Rattle

So I’ve had my GT Line Hybrid for a month and I’ve had a great experience so far ASIDE from one niggle…

When I’m accelerating from a stop/crawl I hear a notable vibration/rattle from the engine bay, normally right around where the car transitions from battery to fuel.

It’s not a deal breaker, but it’s distracting and takes away from the otherwise refined finish of the car.

I’ve seen this raised a few times by users oversea without any real explanation being identified - I was wondering if anyone here is Aus has had this issue and been able to identify the cause and get it fixed?

Thanks in advance 🙏

The Lad Collective - First hand experiences?

I’m in Australia and in need of new sheets and bedding (quilt, quilt cover, pillows etc).

I’ve heard lots of good things re The Lad Collective bedding products and I do like the colours and features of their products (easy to change, magnetic quilt/quilt cover etc).

This being said, I am concerned that a lot of the reviews maybe bots or sponsored, given they seem to invest heavily on social media advertisements - as with most of these ‘hype’ products, they are also not cheap.

I have been burnt with other expensive bedding brands before which really don’t last/perform and whilst I’m happy to pay for good quality, I’d like to avoid being burnt again.

Does anyone (preferably in Australia) have any recent, first hand experience with The Lad Collective products they would like to share? Are they are good as they look/seem to be or is this another average overpriced hype brand?

TIA 🙏

Snow Cannon and Short Trigger for Ryobi RACPWS5 (Australia)

Hey All

I’ve got a brand new Ryobi RACPWS5 and am located in Sydney Australia.

I’m looking for a decent quality Snow Cannon and Short Trigger to clean my cars, which are compatible with this washer. It seems the washer has 1/4 inch fitting but only towards end of the supplied lance.

I’ve seen several options which claim they are compatible with adapters, but each time I enquire with sellers, the response is vague and not really commital which annoying as I don’t want to order items to have them delivered to find they are not compatible etc and have to return - I also want to clean my car!

Does anyone in Australia have experience with this seemingly compact and efficient pressure washer, and if so, could you please give me some advice?

I like the size and price of this unit, but if it is all too hard, I can return it and grab another suitable washer which maybe easier to use with snow cannons etc.

Ultimately, I’d like to be able to unclip the short trigger and cannon and reconnect the long Ryobi lance so I can also use the pressure washer for different things.

Thoughts?

TL;DR

I have a Ryobi RACPWS5 - which decent short triggers and cannons are easily compatible with this washer or would I be better off looking at a different pressure washer unit as I can return the Ryobi if need be.

TIA 🙏

New to Gyeon Ceramic Coating

Hey all

Just got a new car (27 Kia Sportage GT Line) and got Gyeon Evo Flash professionally applied - looks great.

I plan to wash with Gyeon Bathe.

I don’t have a pressure washer to apply Gyeon Foam - is there another suitable method to apply it effectively or another similar product to apply in its place?

I had also planned to finish with Ceramic Detailer as required as the final step.

Am I on the right track with these products?

Am I best off just buying an appropriate pressure washer and snow cannon?

Any advice would be appreciated. TIA. 🙏

Sonos Play Carrying Case

Has anyone found a suitable carrying case or hard case for the new Play speaker? It seems there isn’t an official case for this one (or not yet anyway). A google also hasn’t suggested any other real options.

I’ll likely be travelling a bit with it and would prefer to keep it protected in transit.

iOS Shortcuts

I have a new system comprising of an Arc Ultra, 2 x Era 100SLs and a Sub Mini (all grouped) as well as a Play.

Yesterday I updated the speaker software as well as the Sonos app on my Apple devices.

Despite shortcuts now apparently being available, I still can’t see any for Sonos on my Apple devices.

Numerous people mentioned the same in the new update thread yesterday and their comments (including mine) were conveniently ignored by the Sonos rep.

Is anyone else having issues accessing shortcuts for Sonos? Has anyone had difficulty and since resolved? If so, how did you do it?

Keen to have this functionality and have no idea why it’s not visible.

TIA

New System

Currently renovating and as a result managed to sell off our original Playbar and Sub Gen 2, upgrading to an Arc Ultra and mini sub. May consider rears down the track if we decide it’s needed.

We will be hooking this up to an OLED LG TV, with most streaming and music played through what will be a soon connect Apple TV 4K.

The system will be in a medium sized open plan kitchen/living/dining room around 15m long by about 7m deep.

Loved our old Sonos setup so have high hopes for the updated equipment and looking forward to the new tech like AirPlay etc.

Any specials tricks or advice for getting the most out of the new equipment?
