    Building a Server?

    also in referance to my last post, a freeNAS box wouldnt need the most powerful hardware, I actually know people that have it running on old 400Mhz systems without problems (not sure if this ouwl help remove your need to make sure the hardware is future proof)

    Building a Server?

    Yes I have seen a lot of servers which have been setup by dablers and they have been a nightmaire; group policys that contradict each other, lack of security policys etc!

    Building a Server?

    P.S, are you planning on using active directory and setting up a domain at all? Or does he just want it for users to dial into (over RDP)?

    Building a Server?

    +1, also if you only want basic services like file sharing/printer sharing, surely he would be better off with a NAS drive (or an old SNAP server)? I also dont see why you would need to route the internet through the server if your not going to monitor the usage etc? And any make of switch will...

    Apex 60mm Springs

    I have apex -60mm springs on my 8v 1.2 and it was brilliant (the were actually -30 williams springs, which were sold as -60mm's for non willys). It was the best thing I every did to the car! Also bumps and that really arnt that bad, yes you feel them but you also feel the road a lot more as well.

    Is it bad to turn the steering wheel with the engine off?

    I think i am going to youtube how power steering works because iv never actually know the reason for power steering to be so hard to turn when compared with non-pas systems. Is it still rack and pinion setup with PAS?

    Is it bad to turn the steering wheel with the engine off?

    i agree its probably not he most common thing to be done; I only did it because the steering wheel was upside down and thus in the way of the dial kit, which i was tryign to see something on...

    The Clio Mk2 fault finding dashboard trick

    Just checked mine, no error codes for me :) As other have said, the 'bong bong bong' sound is just like that heard on a plane! There must be a way to swap the beep beep beep to a bong bong bong for warnings?! Is there a similar check for Mk3 clios (the one with 2 buttons on the stalk)?

    Sub cable to engine bay on mk3's

    yes just drill a hole in a place where it wont hit anything the other side. To seal it I would paint the hole with hammerite and once dry, place a rubber gromet in the hole (so make sur eyou drill your hole big enougth to accept a groment). Hope that helps.

    Many thanks, that helps clear things up in my head. I think my car must of had the cup splitter at some point ( as it has both cup packs) but I think it must have been either 1. taken off, or 2. broken off as the car is pretty low (the bumper wont fit over a normal height kerb at its current...

    Can someone please explain splitters to me?

    What exactly is the splitter (i thought it was a bit of plastic that fits ont he bottom of the bumper)? And how come you can fit other brands such as a skoda splitter to a clio? Should I have one (the front of my car seems to low as it is!)?

    Sub cable to engine bay on mk3's

    thats fin if your using tiny tiny wireing like yours (your amp must be either very small or very under-powered). Actually even then its not ok, that cabling is obviously ment to take the load of something else, and with your amp + the original load it could cause problems! I would suggest...
