    Starter Motor exciter cable metal prong thing...

    So, for a long time now I've been bodging my starter motor, bending the small piece of metal the exciter cable slips on to, because the connection would always come lose. Today it finally gave up, and the metal prong bit has snapped off the starter motor. Can this be fixed with a weld or will...

    Retina screens coating coming off (Staingate)

    http://www.macrumors.com/2015/10/17/apple-mbp-ar-coating-quality-program-staingate/ Has anyone experienced this and approached Apple about having it fixed? Apparently there's a program run by Apple to replace retina screens that have this issue, but it's not publicly advertised, and you need...

    Chairs (gaming, pc use, ergo etc)

    What chairs do people use, and more specifically those that spend plenty of time gaming at their desk? I currently have an executive chair, but I hate it for gaming, because I'm always leaning forward, so no support at all, and the arms don't fit under the desk, so having to lean forward a lot...

    Gaming mouse and keyboard...

    I know nothing about gaming mice and keyboards. I need both. Some reading suggests the keyboard isn't too important, but the DPI of the mouse is the main thing. Any suggestions? Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum is available for £47 on Amazon, is this a good choice...

    Liquid Yellow on non-Renault cars (LY appreciation)

    Anyone know of any other cars that aren't made by Renault that have been painted Liquid Yellow? Seems to be a colour that really suits a lot of cars: Exige S: Supra: Evo 8: S2000: VX220: M3: Leon: Civic:

    The Gaming Thread (General Gaming Jibba Jabba)

    I know we normally have individual threads for the big AAA titles, but thought it would be good if we had a general thread for discussion of smaller titles that don't demand their own thread or just general news in the gaming world etc. Not system (PC/Console/other) specific. Most of the...

    Recommend me a product for these processes

    Been a long time since I bought some detailing products. I need pretty much everything. Is Iron-X still the best fallout remover? What to use for tar? Also, a good wheel cleaner because my wheels are caked in brake dust. Is Rapid Dirt Shifter that you can get from the supermarkets still...

    Game you're most eagerly anticipating in 2016

    Following on from the thread by @SharkyUK. Don't just reel off a list of all the games you're excited about, we all know there are some great games coming out in 2016. Just pick one and give a reason why you've picked it. For me it's Dark Souls 3. I love the Souls games, a lot of people are...

    Starter motor wire (exciter?)

    If I go into the engine bay via the drivers side wheel arch I can see the starter motor, at the top of the starter motor is a wire, I believe this may be the exciter wire? Sometimes my car doesn't start, and if I wiggle this connection it will start again. I'm sick of doing this now, can this...

    Climate panel button swap

    I've seen people mention that as well as changing the whole unit, you can open the unit up and swap buttons over? How? I need to do this because the panel I bought that is in better shape has massively upped the temperatures so that even on min it blows out hot.

    OS X monitor dimming

    Anyone use/can recommend good software for dimming an external monitor connected to my MacBook? I've always used Shades, but it's got some annoying bugs, so just wondering if there's anything else out there?

    Porsche Mission E

    Terminator (in Paris) vs Clio 3

    Never before has there been a thing that aligns so perfectly with both Clio and media. Old now, but under 6000 views. A 197 does feature.

    XBMC/Kodi - Genesis

    Anyone have any issues with it? I was using it fine for a while, but now whenever I click on an episode of the series I want to watch I get a message saying "no stream available". I get this message even when I go back to watch an episode that I've already watched. It's normally associated with...

    Calling 0800 numbers

    So, as of the first of this month, it's now free to call 0800 numbers (from a mobile). The reason for starting this thread; before it was free to call 0800, I used to use an app called 0800 Wizard which converted the number into a free to dial number via WiFi. Now that 0800 numbers are free to...

    Issue with starting

    So, I've been having an issue for the past week or so, with the car not starting. It's hit and miss, but when it doesn't start, it doesn't try to engage or anything, just turn the key and nothing. I believe it's an issue with the spade connector - I've had this issue in the past, but usually...

    Daft basic question...

    Probably a really simple questions to answer, but I've never changed Pay Monthly mobile provider in my life, been with O2 since I was a nipper. I'm looking to change provider this time, I don't get a signal at my desk from O2, my contract runs out in about 2 months, I only have to pay them £20...

    Rear window?

    Any idea how much it would roughly cost for one fitted? Because some c**t has thrown a rock through mine. Want the proper Renault window with heating stuff.

    [PS4 Exclusive] Bloodbourne

    Looks like this is normally @Scutch's job, but not seeing a thread for this one. Anyone going to be getting this? I've had my PS4 about a month now, and the lack of really good games is already starting to frustrate me somewhat, so hoping this is something good.

    Magic mouse tracking speed

    Just got a magic mouse to use with my MBP Retina, I'd been using an optical wireless mouse before. The tracking speed is awfully slow, so I got MagicPrefs, and also got MouseZoom, and both on full is still quite slow - so I'm guessing I have an issue somewhere? I've gone into Terminal and used...

    Calls to 0800

    O2 are c***s. Now that's out of the way, how can I call 0800 numbers for free, preferably from my mobile. Thanks, Jack.

    Audio people (home cinema - gaming et al)

    I've recently bought a projector and it beams onto a wall. I want to send the audio to something. I don't want to spend too much, I was looking at getting a sound bar, but here's the thing, I would put the sound bar behind me, rather than in front, is this going to work? (from a...

    Mac/Chrome default link opening

    I have a Macbook running Yosemite. In the past, AceStream was only available on Windows, so I had set as default that when an AceStream link is opened in Chrome, it automatically opens VMware Fusion running Window 8 in a VM, and then opens AceStream on Windows in that VM. I've now got a way to...

    ShopTo customer service (venting my frustration)

    So on Wednesday last week I ordered a bundle from ShopTo; PS4 + 4 games, reduced in price with a Rakuten code. They normally despatch same day if you order before 5PM, and in this instance they didn't, so I guessed something was up. I phoned them Thursday to ask, they said it was because one of...

    PS4 game cases - rack

    So, after being with Xbox for a long time, decided to go PS this gen. What size are the cases games come in relative to the size of a standard DVD case? I want to buy some sort of rack to keep games in, does anyone have one they recommend? I'd love a spring-loaded one. Thanks.

    LY + OZ

    Got my OZ Ultra's back from The Wheel Specialist today, really happy with the quality of work. They're finished in Matte Gunmetal. I'm gonna get new bolts, probably the polarised ones, new centre caps and clean up the calipers. Need some spacers and maybe a bit lower to finish it off nicely...

    Handheld vacuum?

    Anyone got any suggestions? I figure you get what you pay for, and I don't want to be frustrated by something with little suction. Will just be used for little bits, around the house, in the car etc when I can't be bothered to get Henry out.

    Removing top inlet/plenum

    Is there something I'm doing wrong? I want to take off the plenum and fuel rail guard to paint them, but I cannot get the brake cylinder vacuum hose off the back, nor can I get the clip that holds down the coil pack wiring loom, which is just a little clip, I can see how it works, but I can't...

    Silly jacking question...

    Jacking on a slope. I know generally you shouldn't, but if I could it would make my life much much easier. The slope is as follows: Too much, or is there a safe way of doing so? I was going to go with ramps, but then I wouldn't be able to remove wheels, my road is quite busy, so can't...
