Hi guys, Been a LONG time since I've posted on here...maybe 4 years! Boring post, but I've just been offered a new job which will require a 90mile daily commute and I will have less access to overnight development cars. Therefore my M5 which runs at best 22mpg average is going to be painfull...

Cheers mate. GSF was closed anyway, damn bank holiday... surely this is the day that working people put aside to fix their cars and houses!

Happy New Year people! After bigging up French cars to my mate the other day, on the basis that my Clio's have never gone wrong, I think the Coil Pack has given up the ghost! Basically, I get lumpy idle, shuddering on anything more than 10% throttle and get the engine warning light flashing at...

Hi Guys, I'm back! Right, have inherited a 1.2 16v 2005 Dynamique off my sister with 50k on the clock. So bored driving it on the motorway back to London tonight, so thought of trading it for a 172.. Looking at Piston heads and they are quite cheap! Recap on my car history: '98 306 1.4...

Ok, that is quite alot. Can get the X301 delivered with cable for £126 from Pixmania. However the X305 is a good price I guess. Does anyone know the differences between the X001 and X305? They both have the colour screen (which works well with the 5th Gen ipod) and the 305 has 50W max...

Matt, how much could you do the ida-X301/3/5 for (inc. cable)? Cheers

Hi guys, Looking for a new headunit. Want an Alpine as my experience with them has always been good. It needs to be: - Full-speed i-pod compatable (not just aux input); - Have decent sound quality, although I'm not running any extra amps/subs; - Single-slot CD changer. I think...

My old 1.4 used to do it a treat with -40mm and eagle F1s. Best time was on the way to trax 2004 - I was in the inside lane on the rbout cocking my rear inside while my mate was overtaking me in total control in his GTiR! Memories! Unfortunately my E55 doesn't do that! The kitcar however loves...

Read the last 10 posts while I was on the phone to the fella. Managed to get a better deal - pretended that 02 were offering me the same deal but with a BB Bold 9000. He dropped my monthly charge to £19.58 on the same deal as above. Pleased!!! Hope I like the phone. As I said before, the...

Well I use 200 mins and 200 texts... and really hate using my mobile! But 3 phone bills have all been £60+ due to roaming usage! I'm an idiot to have left it this long, I have been paying £35/month for 600min and texts on a phone that I hardly use. So are blackberry's much more fiddly to use...

ok, could you elaborate? I'm not really up to scratch on mobile technology!

Hi, Right, after being shafted for £35/month the last 18 months, I am looking at signing a new contract with Orange again! New deal: 18month - £24.98/month (VAT inc. in that) Free Blackberry Curve 8900 1200 mins + free landline mins 1000 texts Free BB maps function Free internet...

Hi. My Dell D620 laptop (running Vista premium) under devices with removable storage in My Computer, says that I have "BD-ROM Drive (D:)"... All I have is a DVD RW Drive (E) and I often plug in a secondary battery. Strange! Can anyone answer this?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/728059.htm Sold, but if one like it came up for grabs again I'd be seriously tempted of selling the quattro and going for one! Anyone know anything about these old beemas? If this gets moved to other marques I can't post, so appologies!

OrangeF I knew I should have hung onto the paperwork! Yes, I was called on it last July, could ask my mate I suppose!

Right this is one for you... How do I find out the no. of my French Mobile (have it & sim card in my hand). Trouble is, I can't ring out from it because theres no €€ on it. Therefore, my intial plan of ringing my UK mob to find it out won't work! Hmm...

Thats nice Warren. Don't particularily like the Canon's as I've had bad experiences in the past with the original V3 brick lol So, for me its between that samsung and this: http://www.casio.co.uk/Products/Digital%20Cameras/Exilim%20Card/EX-S10RDEDC/At_a_Glance/ Only thing thats swaying it is...

Right, my digital (stills) camera got nicked about a year ago, and I've not replaced it since! Being very lazy - So, can someone reccomend me a camera with the following things: Very small Very thin (^otherwise I'll never take it out skiing/nights out) Decent quality (5MP or higher)...

Anyone?

Hi, I've got a 22inch widescreen monitor and was told that Vista can split the screen and I can effectively run dual monitors on one screen - i.e. split screens... How is this done? All I really want to do is have a word and excel document half/half on the screen instead of having to...

Cheers Riyad (I presume that is your name?). I have also been told that 32-bit OS's can't take any more than 3GB, so yeah, 3GB is max I guess. The more I look around, the more your's is becoming more of an option Mike. I really hate looking around for computers, coz everyone says...

Oh the peer pressure! I'm sure it is fast, and if I had that I would be happy... but sorry, I just can't buy a year-old laptop! Good luck with sale though... CAN ANYONE ELSE RECOMMEND ME A GOOD LAPTOP?

Wow it was expensive when new! The guy who sits two desks down from me uses that very same laptop (with the battery hanging out of the front). He said its better than all of the D800s we had, but he would still like a replacement IBM. Not sure I'd want a second hand laptop tbh - I...

3 questions: 1. Why are you selling? 2. How old is it? 3. Is it still under any warranty? To me, second hand electronics are worthless, but I will check out that laptop and let you know if I'm interested! The main reason I'm hesitating is because at work I have just got rid of my...

Hi guys, I am possibly in the market for a new laptop & set up. Budget £6-800. Currently I have a (soon to be) 3 year old HP Pavilion ZV6000 http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=2341 There’s nothing wrong with it, and it hardly ever freezes on me or goes slow. The...

Your name was in the rear window of your Clio! I was in an E55 waiting at the lights at the M4/A470 Witchurch roundabout.

First owner only did 2.5k and second owner has only done 7k....! bit strange

X1** *** couldn't read it coz it was raining and you were behind me! Dark green S2, remember seeing me pull out infront of you in traffic (not maliciously ofcourse!)?? Phil

Yeah its quite easy to re-tension a handbrake cable- did your mate not try that first? Not sure of the clio system though so can't offer any direct help! Had REAL problems trying to get the handbrake to fit my kitcar- then I found out they'd given me about 10cm too much cable LOL

Hi, I've got some steel wheels with winter tyres that have come off my 2004 clio. They are 15inch and PCD of 4x100 and have tyres: 195/50/R15. I would like to fit them to my 1985 quattro which has 14inch wheels and crappy tyres. Unfortunately the PCD for my quattro is 4x108. so...
