Has anyone else's stopped working? Mine now just shows data for the 13th August

lozcart · Aug 16, 2013, 08:16:28

Gary, Mine hasn't worked for the last few days.

Bill · Aug 16, 2013, 08:19:07

My last one was the 14th, but it hasn't worked since then.

My usual "cure" of deleting and re-creating it didn't work this time either

Steve · Aug 16, 2013, 08:20:24

Same, nothing since the 13th.

Glenn · Aug 16, 2013, 08:44:57

It was most likely running off the same failed server as the email.

Got to go out for a while, I'll check again later.

Mine is sort of, its two days behind though rather than the usual one

Bill · Aug 18, 2013, 07:57:17

That's true, so is mine- I hadn't noticed the dates

(More caffeine needed...)

But at least the link is working, all IDNet have to do now is to send the right data

Just noticed, Bill

Fizzy · Aug 19, 2013, 15:09:13

I've had to reset the details on the idnetters usage gadget a couple of times over the last fews days - but thought it was because I had just reinstalled windows on my pc.

I setup the feed in outlook - but it works once when I add the feed but never updates after. Weird.

Also weird is that I was panicking since I appeared to be very near my peak time usage limit (believe to be thanks to windows updates and app reinstalls!) but the figure has been wavering a lot over last few days and has even dropped a couple of gig on last usage stats.

How reliable are the figures on this? Thought it would be important since going over your limits has a financial cost penalty...

Steve · Aug 19, 2013, 15:17:25

The actual figure used is reliable however the projected monthly figure can be way out as it looks at the previous days usage rate and then assumes a similar rate for the monthly figure.

zappaDPJ · Aug 19, 2013, 15:18:58

The gadget is obviously only as good as the data being supplied to it. In my experience the data is 100% spot on over time but subject to short term glitches. The glitches don't happen that often but they are a real problem when they do because they always understate the amount of bandwidth consumed.

Plus what Steve said!

Bill · Aug 23, 2013, 12:25:31

It seems to have gone again

Gary · Sep 03, 2013, 05:18:54

Well my RSS feed is stuck on 1st September, anyone else seeing issues?

zappaDPJ · Sep 03, 2013, 05:43:41

Hmmm, just checked via my portal and you appear to be right Gary.

Cheers for confirming, Zap. I guess it will 'magically' start working again at some point. Must admit its getting pretty unreliable as of late.

Bill · Sep 03, 2013, 09:36:00

Ditto here

Gary · Sep 03, 2013, 11:09:53

Rss feed is back up for me now

Bill · Sep 03, 2013, 12:06:15

Me too

zappaDPJ · Sep 03, 2013, 13:00:39

My IDNet usage widget is reflecting that. I really need to revise the instructions I've given to those using the Internet here. 'Fill your boots while the widget is in the green' doesn't cut it when the feed stops working

Bill · Sep 11, 2013, 14:12:20

Has it gone again, or is it me? My last lot was yesterday

Simon · Sep 11, 2013, 14:40:50

Perhaps they should have an RSS feed to tell you if the RSS feed is working.

Tacitus · Sep 11, 2013, 18:27:18

I've just tried re-subscribing and apparently the feed doesn't exist. Make of that what you will

Steve · Sep 11, 2013, 18:38:17

I've got data for yesterday on the rss so I presume it's working.

I ran a feed validator on it and it exists... but doesn't pass the test too well

QuoteSorry

This feed does not validate.

I've just tried the same feed validator and it tells me that it's not a feed it's a web page.

Looks like it's totally broken. One for support I think.

Steve · Sep 12, 2013, 09:54:06

I wonder what's going on mine's up to date to the 11th midnight.

Gary · Sep 12, 2013, 11:48:34

Mines up to date as well, all working well. For now

Ray · Sep 12, 2013, 12:23:59

Mine are ok as well.

Bill · Sep 12, 2013, 12:38:53

So are mine now, the missing one must have snuck in whilst I wasn't looking

(Been otherwise occupied- new rear tyres for one and MOTs for both cars

)

Simon · Sep 12, 2013, 13:17:34

That must be tyresome.

Ray · Sep 12, 2013, 13:43:08

Bill · Sep 12, 2013, 13:46:59

It can get expensive... the new tyres were for the XJR- Pirelli PZero's, 255/40 ZR 18's at £256 each

Simon · Sep 12, 2013, 13:54:07

Ouch!

Bill · Sep 12, 2013, 13:58:57

Fortunately the car passed its MOT, otherwise it would have been an even bigger "Ouch"!

Steve · Sep 12, 2013, 14:08:54

I can recommend the PS3, but I don't go anywhere near Pirellis as they just don't work on my car ( so I'm told)

Bill · Sep 12, 2013, 14:25:26

They're the only tyres approved by Jaguar for that car. On a previous XJR I couldn't get the Pirellis so fitted a pair of Dunlop SP9000s at one end (I forget which). They were also Jag-approved for that vehicle, but mixing them with Pirellis was a seriously bad idea... and might have been even on a PS3

The car would understeer into a corner and change, quite abruptly, to oversteer halfway round- it was practically undriveable. So, a few thousand miles earlier than really necessary, I had to change the others to SP9000s as well, and it returned to its normal handling.

Fortunately they were fairly cheap, only about £180 each iirc

Bill · Sep 23, 2013, 22:23:33

Apologies for bumping an old thread but I've only just noticed- the RSS usage feeds are now timestamped at midnight, IDNet must have found a quicker way of getting the usage figures.

That's much better than before

Ouch. Mind you I was a bit taken aback when I had to change the fronts on my Jazz in August. It was bad enough that they'd only lasted 12k (poor for me but apparently not unheard of for the newer Jazz models). But it also turned out that my pre-reg Jazz had the wider tyres on it so that cost me the thick end of £300. And then to cap it all off I had to take the car back to have them adjust the alignment.

It was fine as far as the wheels were concerned because they'd checked it when fitting the new tyres. But for some reason the car was now driving straight with the wheel turned 5 degrees right. Not pulling at all - just needed to be turned. So that was another £15 that no-one really seems to understand.

Anyway next month I might change the rears as they are getting a little low to go into winter with. I thought the garage would swap front to back but they said the new tyres had reinforced sidewalls so best to leave them on the front (which was another £5 they lost so either honest or lazy

).

On our old Megane sport got to expensive to run, the tyres just got to expensive let alone the rest of it. Michelin pilot sports cost all round just shy of £750. I do miss that car but glad we sold it, as it would eat though four tyres in a year and a half. Tyres on our 2012 Focus Titanium are still going strong so should last two years. And its so much more comfortable.

I don't know how long the Jag tyres will last, I'd guess it's more dependent than most cars on the weight of your right foot- nearly 400bhp can eat a lot of rubber

I'd guess around 30,000 miles from the wear since I bought it.

It seldom gets driven really hard (it's noticeable that most R-type jags seem to be driven with consideration for tyre wear, not surprising!) and I seldom do more than about 5,000 mile/year in it. So I hope not to have to change them again.

The megane just ate tyres and Justina was not particularly fast as she needs her license for work but since the car handled so well she did throw it around a bit. Great fun on the known country roads, but never over the speedlimit. The fact we could take corners faster than most was fun enough without having to boot it.

I have a Honda Jazz EX "2009 model", with the uncommon (hence expensive) tyre size. Continental Premium Contacts at about £90 per corner. (Black Circles)

The default Dunlops wear down very quickly.

Clive · Sep 26, 2013, 21:12:38

Thanks for the Jazz EX tyre advice. I'll shop around for the Continentals when I need to replace the Dunlops. I've only done 5,000 on them so they should last another 18 months. On the other hand, the Pirellis on my X type will do 30,000. The only problem I have with them is pressure loss even after fitting new valves.

Steve · Sep 28, 2013, 20:29:43

I do find it weird that a car which in no way could be classed as a performance saloon should be so hard on it's front tyres, I think my wife will probably get 10k out of her fronts . I intend to swap front to rear as the OE Dunlops 3 years old on her previous had splits probably due to age, certainly rear tyre wear was minimal.

I can normally get the Dunlops for £95 fitted but may look at other makes next time round.
