    Is it normal for there to be some background noise with bluetooth?

    Is the volume turned down on your phone? I notice if I have the volume at anything other than max on my phone and the HU turned up, I'll get a little static.

    Engine mount, cambelt side. Changed, but feels worse than the old mount.

    Yeah, I've had loads of 106's and they have the same sort of rubber bumper thing. I had the battery out and all the bolts were tight and the hanger thats attached to the inner wing didn't have any broken mounting holes. I didn't take the mount entirely off though as it looked like a bit of a...

    Engine mount, cambelt side. Changed, but feels worse than the old mount.

    I'll give that a go tonight. It seems to be mostly slapping forward when I lift off throttle. I've an annoying squeak that I was hoping may have been related to the broken mount but alas, the noise is still there.

    Engine mount, cambelt side. Changed, but feels worse than the old mount.

    I've always had a good bit of engine slap, I fired a powerflex dogbone mount on and it didn't change much so I bought the engine mount insert. When I went to fit the insert into the cambelt side engine mount I noticed the bolt that runs down the middle had snapped. I thought this would be the...

    Wheel spacers with speedline 2118 ET43

    You can get hub spacers for the rear, much better than the regular spacers. I got mine in a group buy on here but haven't fitted them yet. PMS sell them too.

    Air filters?

    I've a new(ish) oversized K&N (white edition) filter here. Fits behind the light and in front of the bumper perfectly. IMO it sounded better than the RAMAIR filter I had on my Fatty before hand. Cost me £48, I'd take £25 delivered for it (Cheaper than the RAMAIR) it's only been used for 200...

    What snow foam lance’s are people using?

    Also, I dilute my snowfoam at 80/1 with very hot (not boiling) water. As the bottle recommends. I tried stronger dilutions and the results stayed the same.

    What snow foam lance’s are people using?

    Cleantec.biz Local company (n.ireland) and have great prices and really good lances. The guy that runs it is super helpful too if you ever have any questions. Think my lance was £20 Then I use https://anachem-automotive.com/ products to clean it. Everything I’ve used from there has been...

    Dash Coil Light & Not Starting issues

    Also check the wires going to the fuel pump under the rear seat. Mine had symilar symptoms to yours and one of the wires had worn away and was making a bad connection.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Bit of a wait? I think they announced it in 2012 lol. It'll be worth it, It'll be the first game in years that I'm going to take a week off work for.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Fap fap fap. I’ve literally been waiting for this for years. How populated the streets are is pretty insane, it will be fun to see what impact that has on my cpu/gpu.

    Gaming monitor vs Decent tv

    Wow. That’s a fair difference! I’ve a netgear nighthawk n6 wireless router so the wifi isn’t bad. You’ll notice a fair difference now. Go to curry’s or Argos and get some homeplugs. They plug into wall sockets and allow you to use the electrical connection in your house as a LAN cable. (Trying...

    Gaming monitor vs Decent tv

    It won't drop out as much, if that ever happened and your ping should be slightly better. It's just a more stable connection.

    Gaming monitor vs Decent tv

    It will be the fact that the 1080p image is stretched over 40+ inches compared to it being compressed on to a smaller monitor. So you're seeing things enlarged but the quality won't be as crisp. Like watching a low quality video on your Phone vs the TV. For consoles, a TV is ample as the...

    Gaming monitor vs Decent tv

    Does your TV have a 'Game Mode'? That may give you a better refresh rate. Are you playing on a console?

    Gaming monitor vs Decent tv

    LAN always, or at least Powerline/Home plug adapters. CAT5E is ample, CAT6 if you're hard-wiring it into your house (price isn't much different these days tbh, but you won't notice a difference in bandwidth speeds but it'll mean you won't need to upgrade it in future).

    Guide: How to remedy the sticky interior trim, quick and cheap.

    They probably don't tbh, I just found that it gave a deeper colour and probably offers some sort or protection. Plus I had the bottle sitting with-in arms reach. I made this guide up off the top of my head, just tried some s**t and it worked. There's no science to it lol.

    Guide: How to remedy the sticky interior trim, quick and cheap.

    The products I use on my car are all Anachem Automotive stuff. It’s a local company and developed along side one of the best detailers in the country. It’s great stuff and cheap compared to other brands. https://anachem-automotive.com/ Their ‘purge’ wheel cleaner is the best I’ve used. My...

    I’ll grab a pic when I’m home. It went whiter than it was before I started scrubbing it.

    Guide: How to remedy the sticky interior trim, quick and cheap.

    I tried a tar remover that’s supposed to be a chemically stronger concentrate of tar remover compared to autoglym on my rear wiper plastic and it started to go funny again within a week or two.

    Judder and low rpm

    If you do a search, all 1*2's do it when they're cold. It's a cold map and it limits the rpm to 5k or something. I thought it was broken at first but I've just learned to live with it. (First link that came up on google - https://www.cliosport.net/threads/182-stuttering-from-cold.58946/ )

    Judder and low rpm

    Mine's exactly the same. I've only driven two 172's but both of them did it on cold start. The engine runs on a different map (or something) for 2 minutes after you start the engine. After that, it's smooth as. If you remap it, or load the RStuner map it supposedly gets rid of the stutter.

    Ricks RB182 Project thread - saved from death

    Excellent job man, good to see another one over here. I may have to give you a shout when I need my dephaser/belts done as I don't know anyone else over here with the timing kit (well, a legit one anyway).

    Random switch any ideas?

    Wired to the inlet air temp sensor, strange! Probably one of those old eBay resistor ‘chip’ mods.
