Cleaned the windscreen today and finally removed my tax disc holder from the inside of it. An increase of £105 in the last 9 years. Robbing coonunts.

Added myself on Discord now. Cheers. :)

I wanted to assume that they had tweaked the Porsches as they had gone from being my favourite to being really quite crap with them. That probably explains it. The opposite of that is that my mate has really got used to the Porsches - and I struggle to match him on track. I'm still a good...

I found the McLaren to be the most forgiving, if that's the right word? Quick, controllable and behaves itself through the corners. Although rewarding, the Porsches can be a bit of a handful - oversteering badly if you lift off and difficult to catch. (for me anyway!)

I'll download it again - and try to keep an open mind! :P

The thing is, the steering and pedal control becomes much more naturally quicker I find, than with keyboard. And now that you've got the fixed seating position, you'll end up using it more. The convenience of not having to set anything up and to literally sit down and drive, it so worth it.

Ordered all three - the two sets of fittings from eBay and the Autodoc listed clips. (y)

Even better. I've got an Autodoc account - so might nab those instead. Hopefully, they should arrive before Easter.... ;)

Thanks all - I'll get some of those ordered. @Mr Underhill - are these the clips that yourself and @Ol’ Tarby refer to?

That sounds good. I'm definitely a rookie at best, but still like to have some short races on various circuits. Just a shame that I have a complete and utter dislike towards Discord. I must have installed that thing half-a-dozen times and then removed it in short order. The epitome of bloatware...

Hi all, Does anyone know if the arch liners have a fitting kit of fastenings? I've got two new liners for my 182, but no fastenings for them. Cheers.

It could simply be due to age? After all, the car is likely to be as old as you! ;) Glad you got it sorted though - you can't be without wipers at this time of year.

Still never finished GTAV - and the majority of what I played was on the 360. Got a PC now that can finally do it justice, and I've hardly touched it. :P

The linkage can detach in freezing weather, which it hasn't been yet. Had that myself and it's simple to reattach. Regreasing the joints on the wiper mechanism does help considerably too. If you end up removing the wiper mechanism itself, which is easy to do once the wipers have been detached...

Welcome. :) Sounds like you're making good on a neglected 182 there. Be careful though - once you start to make small changes, the urge to do more to the car is a bit infectious. I still have a list of things that I'd like to do to mine, nearly 19 years on.... :P

I think spatial audio in terms of headphones was a game changer for me - from the music perspective that is. I don't think I could ever go back to just standard 'stereo' headphones now. That said, when you get a purpose-built room with the correct speaker setup, they do sound amazing. I'm one...

What about premium headphones instead? I'm no audiophile either - but I find headphones way more immersive than a traditional speaker setup. They also have the added benefit of playing an FPS quite loud and not pissing off my neighbours. :P

I was dreading doing this when the clock display started to fade on the left side. By coincidence, my battery started to fail and a week or two later I got that swapped out. Instantly the display was all clear again - just so glad I didn't start the hassle of taking the dash apart prior to then!

Welcome Carlos - Alien Green is by far the best colour on those! :cool:

Welcome. :) From my experience, when the wheel bearings start to go, you get more of a droning noise, rather than a squeal/squeak like this. Could be a shim on the brakes catching perhaps?

@NorthloopCup - is your man.... Welcome aboard, by the way! :)

Totally get that mate - I've no idea how people use them 'as is', straight out of the box. I've gone three layers of additional protection - a glass film for the front, a clear case for the surround and a clip-on protector for the lenses on the rear. The camera section alone really does...

The 15 Pro arrived earlier. Just need to get that eSIM stuff sorted out with the provider in the morning. Apple being Apple, the setup of my account, transfer of data and setup of the phone was stupidly easy. I even received the freepost trade-in box a little later too, to send my standard 11...

Have to agree really - I never had an issue using Lightning at all. That said, I can understand USB-C more now, given that it's own interface is finally universal - and not a one sided slot of previous USB standards.

Not got around to this yet - but its still on my list. Will try looking at the clutch switch first - arguably the easiest thing to check?

I bought a recommended Pioneer head unit and adapter box a few years back for not a lot of money at all. Streams from my phone seamlessly. DAB radio, decent enough settings (for me anyway) and works completely with the integrated stalk controls. I'd personally go down that route - more so as a...

Sure it wasn't heading towards you for a new gearbox? ;)

Thanks both - weather permitting at the weekend, I'll give that a go. (y)

Just want to clear out any crap from behind them on the roof of mine. Before I attempt it - what wise words of removal have people got? Is there a specific technique used in taking them off? I have got a set of trim removal tools if those help? Cheers, D.

Yellowstone as in the TV series? I was actually impressed by that - I didn't think it would have been as good as it was.
