    Control

    So, three years late to the party and quite frankly, this game is superb. It battered my GTX1080 when I first got it - played well on my 3070Ti and with the latest step-up to a 3090 - it looks and plays amazing. The combat is great - almost like a finely tuned balance between holding back and...

    Hello! 1 car, 1 Clio

    This was my gearbox after 165k when I had it refurbed. And that only happened really as one of the driveshafts went pop and damaged the gearbox in the process. https://cliosport.net/threads/the-unicorn-jc5.832201/ If you look after them (like most things) - they tend to last. :)

    VR sensor mounts?

    Actually - skip that. Managed to nab a used pair of mounts off eBay for £24. That will do me. :)

    VR sensor mounts?

    I've got two of the HTC Vive sensors currently mounted on small camera tripods, that do an OK-ish job at tracking the headset. However, I'm more interested in mounting them permanently to the wall(s). What have other people used in terms of brackets or wall-mounts previously? I believe that...

    Hello! 1 car, 1 Clio

    Welcome! That's a nice, low mileage for a 20+ year old car. I'll sound like a broken record on here! But if you're handy doing your own work, I would strongly recommend swapping out your gearbox oil too. It was a night & day difference on mine when it got done at the 12k service, all those...

    Battlefield 4

    Still breaks my tiny brain how anyone can play an FPS with a pad. :LOL:

    Starfield

    That would probably go well with my 5800X3D.... ;)

    I forgot I even had this - fired it back up again last night. Starts off easy.........

    Clio 182 Front Wiper Linkage

    Must have been bloody lucky with mine then! :)

    Clio 182 Front Wiper Linkage

    Has that not simply popped off? Mine did it once when we had a day of extreme cold. Went to de-ice my windscreen the following morning - heard a small clunk and the passenger side wiper blade simply didn't move. Pretty sure it was that section that you show that had detached itself. Get a bit...

    A good alternative to those who like The Room games, free on Epic right now.

    Homeworld 3

    The demo is out today and it's instantly recognisable as a Homeworld title. I don't know if the full game will be as good, but the slow, haunting music combined with the 'beam in' noise of the mothership coming out of hyperspace, to the command voices being heavily overlayered with static - are...

    Battery change now CD Multiplayer issues.

    Three entries on the back of that cover for the UCH? Never knew that.

    Returning member SM54 YLN

    They keep on going if you look after them. Still my daily since picking it up in December 2004. As Ol' Tarby says - it's the parts now that are either expensive due to rarity, or pretty much not available at all. If I had the space to store them, I would have been stock-piling written-off, or...

    SM54 YLN crash damaged silver 182 - who's was it??

    Impressive thread bump. Got to be one of the longest, I reckon? :)

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    Was an IT Manager myself for a decade. Now more focused on the project management/BA side of things. DO NOT miss the pressure of being the No.1 go-to person for anything and everything that seemed to have a plug on it. I've been where I am for 23 years next month and I do enjoy it - and it's...

    Centre scuttle drain location - 182

    Great response - cheers! Will help me for sure when I tackle it - and others!

    Centre scuttle drain location - 182

    I tried that the other week - though the dehumidifier we have won't operate below 5C and it was bloody cold outside. One thing I'm looking forward to sorting with the warmer weather. @Amp540a - do you have to actually cut the soundproofing out? By that, is it glued to the floor of the car and...

    Centre scuttle drain location - 182

    As many have experienced before, it's quite common to get water ingress in the footwells at this time of year - with the scuttle drains usually being the prime suspect. I checked on mine today having recently had a damp patch on both sides at the front. That was making me suspicious that it was...

    Robocop - Rogue City

    Yeah - you pickup little PCBs that you can enter a mini-game to improve the stats of the handgun. It's literally a flow puzzle, where you add nodes that you either pickup or combine from other nodes - to make an 'electricity' path to an upgrade. Those can be like +20% fire rate, but directly...

    Robocop - Rogue City

    Yep. Nabbed it just prior to Christmas and played it through. Here's my Steam review of it - but it does contain some spoilers if you want to avoid them! ***** CONTAINS SEVERAL SPOILERS - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ***** I took a punt on this game, being a bit unsure as what to expect. I have...

    Gaming/office chair

    Still using my SecretLabs Titan 2020 on a daily basis. Not cheap - but a great chair. I wouldn't have any issues replacing it with another SecretLabs chair as and when this one is past its best.

    EA account ban - arrrggghhh

    I think EA's account management is a pinnacle of greatness - compared to the one that Blizzard uses. Literally cannot install any Blizzard game (even demos) as the authenticator app is tied to my old phone that I traded in, in October. Need an authenticator app installing on your new phone...

    DIEDERICHS headlights

    I would suspect that the wiring on the rear of the headlight unit would be different if geared for xenons and not standard headlights? Might be an easy adjustment for an auto electrician - but I wouldn't know on that.

    Changing lhd headlamps to rhd headlamps?

    That's good to know! I think I'll nab one of those then next month! (y)
