Yep Yep, Gotcha
Honestly though, right now, my instinct is pointing to Filter for some reason.
My initial instinct was just to rip this box out and replace it, but as you see, I'm not a quitter and love to learn NEW stuff.
These AUs are keeping me constantly learning and even in owning my S1 Classic for 4yrs now, still learning heaps more about her too

Sorry my friend, just saw your post.
As you see, I too am learning about these things. I can refer to my manual, but in all fairness, these guys on here are a hell of a lot more knowledgeable than any manual
