    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    Yes - but not straight away. It's a bit of an oddball if you compare it to the likes of the Civilization series and many others of that type. You can't choose teams to begin with - you're completely ignorant of everyone else in the void of space. However, once you encounter each other - there...

    Hi from warrington! Need help please :)

    Surprisingly, they aren't too bad for rust generally - but it can be a bit of a lottery. Common areas are inside the petrol filler flap (mine has it there) and along the cills - especially if they have been roughly jacked up over time. Don't forget, even the youngest 182 will be in its 14th year...

    Hi from warrington! Need help please :)

    Welcome aboard :) Cambelts and the auxiliary belt kits are an essential check. Not only for being done, but also for being done right. Botched jobs can make engines self-munchy and clear evidence of the work needs to be looked into. Cheaper to do on the 172 Cup with the absence of the A/C, for...

    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    Things have come on in the last 300+ years of the Future U.N. Been absolutely rinsed by an overlord faction, who basically just wanted my subjugation. Since giving into them, nothing much has changed - aside from the fact I want to go to war with two other nations, but as they are vassals of...

    BMW 535d

    That might be the better option? If you're not giving it death everywhere and unlike @f0xy who uses his for towing - probably leaving it alone makes more sense.

    Bit excessive for a rear-mounted rad hanging down, isn't it Adam? ;)

    Lancer Evolution Appreciation Thread

    And you're right to. All rust can be cut out and repaired..... for a price. The biggest issue you'll have is that the protection measures used to guard them from rust, are often the very same methods used to hide the spreading evil underneath. After all, a freshly Waxoyl'd car beneath looks...

    BMW 535d

    Exactly - it seems such a paradox that a unit containing many, many moving parts - usually under significant loads, will not require maintenance at some point.

    Boot Lock Solenid

    Is this easy to access from within the car? My boot lock isn't 'flipping' with the central locking anymore - so its locked permanently.

    Across the line - 200k RB

    Yes, but... "It's French crap..... it will break" "It's French crap - the electronics don't work" "It's French crap - it's not German" etc.... Proof that when you look after them, the above is b****cks. Mine won't be far off 170k now and still a one owner car. Hopefully nothing will stop it...

    [Next Gen/PC] GTA V

    Wish they released additional content for the single player stuff in this. Really CBA'd with the online side of this game.

    Mine was a 6 - reg V194 KRS, I think? ;)

    As Adam says above, they 'expect' to be treated properly. The engine maybe bombproof (certainly in standard/mild tune) and assuming regular oil changes - but you'll still be paranoid with rust on these things. Don't forget, even that Evo 8 above is now 16 years old and made with crap metal to...

    Marc Smit south african tuner BEWARE!!!

    Probably the main reason why he's carried on for so long, doing what he's doing. It's the fear of feeling silly and embarrassed in front of friends and family and even total strangers on internet forums, that you've fallen foul of a scam.

    Prey - Mooncrash

    This is back on the cheap on Steam at £2.60 again, but also includes Typhon Hunter as an additional promo item. https://store.steampowered.com/sub/277639/?snr=1_4_4__139

    Clio 182 can’t remove windscreen wiper assembly. Help!

    @JJ55 - hope you lined up the peg at the rear of the bulkhead before you bolted it back in place? The mechanism makes a racket if not lined up properly and the sweeping motion is a bit out angle. Been there and missed that myself before.

    Can’t enter stereo code?!?

    Think I've still got my Tuner List unit available for sale if you wanted me to check?

    BMW 535d

    Ade should sort you out alright - I still get email alerts of some of their remaps from T5 vans through to Focus ST's and those mad things like the Astras. He bought my Evo off me and tempted me for a long time about a remap before I sold it!

    @Cup172rich - did you get the wheel bought and setup in the end?

    My New VXR (Holden content)

    Epic purchase. I bet this is one of the few cars where adding a supercharger can't make you cry any worse over the shite MPGs that you're already getting. Bad fuel economy is just bad fuel economy!

    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    A crazy time-sink, isn't it? I think I'm about 30 hours in myself. How are you in terms of DLC installed? I've noticed that with each addition, more menus and in-game events appear. I certainly don't regret buying the full set anyway and already have plans for what kind of civilisation I'll...

    Stellaris [PC/Console/Mac]

    Has anyone played Paradox's space strategy of Stellaris yet? It's been out a while (2016) and was initially plagued by issues, broken processes and general player frustrations. Now it seems that they have got the measure of most of the problems and have produced several official DLCs for it. On...

    Buy 3, get the 4th free?

    Haven't the foggiest. It can't even be worth anywhere near the asking price in scrap or else the Chinese would be all over that already. Very odd thing to try and flog on eBay.

    Buy 3, get the 4th free?

    Some of the details are funny. Once purchased "you are allowed to touch the wreck..." I would have thought that after spending quarter of a £million on it - you could do anything you want? ;)

    Buy 3, get the 4th free?

    Seems like it would be a decent offer. Postage would be a b**ch though. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/national-heritage-sales/m.html?item=352695207429&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562

    PC steering wheels?

    One last thing - my G920 pedal set (which I assume will be identical to the G29 set) - had a rubber bung within the brake pedal spring. This obviously reduced the distance that the pedal could be pushed - and reduced the gap between all-or-nothing pedal travel. Yep - that got flicked out...
