    ***Tyre Poll***

    Anyone know what's different between Toyo Proxi T1-R and T1-S?? Both are around £60 from "black Circles" - anyone used them for buying tyres btw?? seems almost too good to be true!

    POP email

    b3nje - my orange mail is @fsnet.co.uk (from way back in the freeserve days!!!) I also have an @hotmail.com If i can use that in outlook then then that may solve my probs!!! I am fairly familiar with setting up a/c's from within outlook express, so if you do have the settings then...

    POP email

    Anyone know of anywhere that provides POP email rather than just my isp. My mail from my ISP (orange) is really pi****g me off atm, as it seems that orange's mail servers are blocked by some other mail servers so mail just doesn't get through. I was looking at gmail, seems good but it...

    Orange BB sooo slow????

    I'm on Orange BB, and generally ok. Although in the last few days i have had a few sites that are slow - and must admit this seems one of them - although fine this morning.

    Need new Laptop

    Lewis's have it at £899 i think!!! but i think they will generally price match. If not then i don't mind buying direct from HP. It was the graphics card that made me think twice a little. Also a lot of companies are doing Vista Upgrade which HP don't seem to be doing.

    Need new Laptop

    Right, i've been intending to buy a new laptop for some time now, but just never seem to get round to it!! I want something that's relatively small - thinking either 14.1 or maybe 15.4 screen. Not sure if i'm going to use it as my main PC or not yet - possibly. In that case i'd probably use...

    Buzzing Coming From Beside Passenger Door In 2002 172ff

    I have a feeling that it is the climate control. I think it's a fan that sucks air in from the cabin to check what the in car temp actually is. MY car has it as well, so if it's anything more serious, we're both in the s*~!

    Phone upgrade

    I was all up for an N73 - but there seem to be problems. Some seem to suffer, others don't!!! Went to C'phone wherehouse the other week, and they were suggesting the Samsung D900 - quite liked the look of it to be honest. I also have a mate that has one and he likes it - but then on here i read...

    Wanadoo Bandwidth

    Well, i 'm with them (or orange as it is now). I don't (think) go anywhere near that far over, but i suspect i am over the 2Gb limit. so far so good!!

    Orange broadband

    Yeah, been with them for a while - when it was Wanadoo. TBH, i have no problems with them. Pay them £18 a month, and use it a fair bit with no problems. I need to cancel my Vodafone contract and take mobile out with Orange so i can get the BB free.

    Dell laptop exploding batteries

    we use all Dell at work, and we've had a shed load with swolen caps on the mother board, and now most of our recent laptops have the dodgy batteries. Having said that, be a shame if all this caused their stuff to drop in price though - as i could do with a laptop for home!!!

    Formatting the hard drive help

    Nah, you can't go through start menu i don't think, Windows will still be running and hence using the HD. Restart the PC with the Windows CD in the drive, and you should get the options to repair, or re-install, then you can either format the partition or leave as is etc. I always do it this...

    Formatting the hard drive help

    Anyone know anything about Sky dish LNB's

    Thanks guys Sneeks, yeah tried that one, they just "ok, your choice". If i'm honest i don't really want to cancel it. Yeah could be dish alignment, but just got this feeling that it's been working well enough for 8 years it is probably something "on it's way out" Mr A, yeah i thought it...

    Cost for a Standard center section & BB

    I paid £315 for the replacement 2 piece system, from a local "tyre and exhaust" place. They are only available from one source, so there isn't that much you can do. However, that doesn't mean that everyone sells them at the same price!

    Adrian Flux

    I remember when i was 18/19 ish and had an AX GT, they weren't even close to what i could get elsewhere. For the last few years though, the quote has been good, was just a little p***** when i changed my car a few years ago and the difference "changed" after i had done the deal to buy the car.

    Anyone know anything about Sky dish LNB's

    Got a problem with my Sky digital. Fairly sure it's the LNB that has gone, i just randomly lose signal on certain channels. Not all of them, just some, and it's always the same ones that go when it happens. From talking to a few people, sounds like it's the LNB that has gone. Have spoken to...

    Adrian Flux

    Must admit i had a real big problem with them a few years back and really wanted to take my business elsewhere - they shafted me big time. Also i have had to make a couple of claims, and haven't been totally happy with the way they have been handled. However, truth be told, they have still...

    Any Powerpoint Guru's

    That was the problem, the new wouldn't open the file after it had been modified on the old. Turns out, it was a Microsoft f£*& up, they knew about it, and had a downloadable fix for the problem. All sorted. Which was good, as the file in question was my final University project presentation...

    Any Powerpoint Guru's

    Got a bit of a problem with a file. I created a presentation last week at uni in Powerpoint 2003. Opened it and did some work on another PC with power point 2000 - worked on slide layout and added some comments. Not trying to open it on a 3rd PC with Powerpoint 2003 and it can't open it...

    exhaust blowing??

    The std ones go where they bend at the back. Water comes to rest at tbe bottom of the bend and eventually it will just rust through. Great design.............

    Car tax gone up £15 for 6 months!!

    Yeah same here, taxed my car yesterday. However, i'd like to know how the hell some bright spark came up with the increased figures. I work with a guy who has a Golf VR6 - '98 i think. He got his renewal and it was something like £170 - £5 dearer than my clio. He's taxed his this week to find...

    Messenger log on problems

    That was one of the real odd things. I found the connection checker, and ticks appeared next to everything!! So you'd think it should all work!!! Still no luck though. Connection is via USB Broadband modem, so there shouldn't be anything else in the way. Have only got it patched to SP1, so...

    Messenger log on problems

    I've got a problem getting onto MSN messenger - i've had the problem before, but what i think i did to fix it hasn't worked this time. I've just done a fresh install of XP, and now can't log into either MSN messenger, or Windows messenger. I had this problem before when i downloaded an...

    Does No MOT Invalidate Insurance?

    Must admit i'm kind of screwed with this one at the moment as well. MOT ran out wed/thurs. Had it tested friday and it failed (CVD boot come un strapped). It's sorted now, but they can't retest till next wednesday, so i'm kind of screwed. I know the car is fine, but because of the new computer...
