    Centurion D5 Evo sliding gate motor issue

    Would sensor be going if it still clicks when origin moves past it? Perhaps it could send dodgy/incoherent signals to pc board if it were going downhill.

    Centurion D5 Evo sliding gate motor issue

    Ja, I thought of that. Yes the gear is turning all the time. There is one small hiccup on teeth track where an additional piece was added in the past. Far away from magnet origin. But motor has never had a problem with that in the past. But no new issues like broken teeth. Nothing lifted. Gear...

    Centurion D5 Evo sliding gate motor issue

    Looks ok? Some dust or stuff at bottom on chamber, but slotted wheel looks clean to me. Not sure how.itnis supposed to look. Didnt feel oily to me. Maybe it's the doss counter thing giving the issues? Also seemed clean to me. Not sure if they must be microscopically clean? But they looked ok...

    Centurion D5 Evo sliding gate motor issue

    You are a star for replying in such detail. I was hoping I didn't have to remove that cover held behind the turning knob held in place with the 4 allen key screws. Cos my screws are rusted soft (at coast) Will work out something to get it off. Damn. I'll let u know. Thanks again.

    Centurion D5 Evo sliding gate motor issue

    I have a Centurion D5 evo sliding gate motor. It has worked fine for years. Yesterday it kept opening again after closing. I cleaned some dirt from the tracks near where front wheel reached at end of closing movement just in case there was resistance from dirt. It now runs fairly freely by...

    Court removes ban on rhino horn trade in SA

    I fail to understand what the purpose of that law was/is that rhino horn can be sold locally between South Africans, but not allowed to be exported overseas anywhere. What's the point? The demand for rhino horn is almost exclusively South East Asian. So was this law designed to be loop-hold...

    Dros Middelburg to lay charges after bodyguards clear out restaurant

    I wonder if Dros served him and his brethren food/drinks or refused. Must have been a tricky situation to handle on the spot for the restaurant. Good on Dros management to take it legal route.

    British woman and South African man found dead at Vietnam tourist villa

    I have heard a rumour that knock-off booze accidentally containing methanol instead of ethanol was the issue. If so, damn unlucky. Condolences to family

    Things that are worth more than what they cost

    Let's chime in on items or services that are worth more in life/in the long run than what they actually cost to buy. For example: * Cast iron pan- works beautifully and with very little maintenace can last you a lifetime of daily cooking for around R700 (the cost one one good meal and drinks...

    Man wins case against Shoprite Checkers after he was fired for using a teaspoon of sugar

    Ja, you see this is corporate greed in a nutshell. They could argue that supplying coffee and tea to employees will be too expensive owing to the size of their workforce across Africa. But they make so much money, are rolling in the cash (partly because pnp went full retard over the past few...

    Man wins case against Shoprite Checkers after he was fired for using a teaspoon of sugar

    Just checking if I am understanding this all correctly. (The story is a little ambiguous): They CAN get free milk, sugar, tea, coffee etc from the "Cash Office", but should bring own containers to put the (likely expired or close to expiring) stock into?That is how their system works to get...

    Best male and female vocalist of all time?

    Of course a lot is very subjective. Depends on what type of music rocks your boat to a large extent. Mercury and Ronnie James Dio for precision and reliability Bruce Dickinson for power and oomph and amazingly wide vibrato Early Steve Perry is indeed excellent. So is early Geoff Tate- extremely...

    People are getting rid of air fryers after realizing there’s a much cheaper alternative

    No, THIS is the original airfryer. Best devices ever. Cosmetics are questionable. Broke the base of my last one about 2 years ago. Maybe 50% of every meal i had at home growing up had at least one item made in it. They seem to be collectors items now and hard to find. But man, a roast pork or...
