I was driving up a slight incline today and when I was getting near the top the STOP and handbrake light came on. Went off after about ten seconds. Hasn't yet come back on despite going up a similar incline. Got home and research on here found out possibly brake fluid. Checked that, all...

My standard cat needs to come off and be replaced. I have a second hand cat to put on (I won't go into why I didn't go de-cat/sports/new etc). Is it basically a case of unscrewing the four bolts, unscrewing the two lambda sensors and removing? Then, refitting the new one? I'm...

My standard 172 cat is rattling like mad. Passes emissions test but I've been told the honeycomb inside is broken? Does this sound feasible? I'm getting a tinny rattle noise on acceleration at 2k and 4k. It's not the 4k rattle as I've had my centre section replaced 6 months ago...

Apparently there's a new file that allows you to do this on any application ie internet pages, tomtom, anything you like. Very handy I'd imagine. Can I heck get it to work. Thing is, it's an unsigned file and you have to get it signed. Major pain in the butt and although many others...

As long as the tyre wear indicator is lower than the tread on the tyre is this ok? I know this is fine for the wheels in use but just want to check it's fine for the spare too. I'm going to use a tyre on the car currently, as a spare and using the brand new spare tyre on the car. That way...

Private reg T1* G**, spotted yesterday, driving fairly keen up from the Tyne Swing bridge to the lights next to the rail arches before turning right towards Gateshead town hall. Anyone?

I had my centre section replaced under warranty last June when the car was 31 months old. Typical 4k rattle noise, went away when replaced. The car is a 53 reg Clio 172. Thing is the noise has returned only now it does it mainly at 4k but slightly on acceleration from 2k but gets much louder...

I had the centre section of my exhaust replaced about June last year. It was because it had developed the 4k rattle. This was done under the warranty which expired in November last year. Thing is, it's starting to do it again, already. Now that the car is out of warranty will I still...

Anyone got one of these in their car? http://www.brodit.com/ Click on 'search products' They look very good and fit the car and phone perfectly from the looks of it. Seem a little pricey but if they're any good I'd pay it. I need the 03 Clio proclip and a Nokia N80 mount with...

Went on to Dolphin £35 per month in September. First of all they didn't tell me I'd then have to pay for sms delivery reports at 1p each (soon mounts up). I had to stop using the reports. Now 3 months into my contract they've put on Itemised Billing at £1.28. Something I've always had for...

About a mile from where I live. Harton area. Lady driver it would seem. Anyone?

I notice on the options for the new 197 you can get electric folding mirrors for £100. Is there any sort of kit to convert 172 mirrors to electric folding that anyone knows of? I would find this very useful. Cheers.

Lately I've been getting texts yonks after people sent them. My phone often tries and fails to send texts and has to keep trying to resend. I try to ring people and often I get 'connection error' for all I have 6 bars. People try to ring me and often they get diverted straight to...

Just had my 172 back from it's first MOT. Failed on cv boot came loose but passed once resecured and repacked with grease. Advisory points: Nail in rear tyre and Engine cover causing wear to pipe. This one. I can modify the cover myself but just wondering what the pipe is...

Ok, my car was first registered 28 November 2003. Never had a car before that's required it's first MOT while I've owned it. Do I wait for some sort of reminder? Or, am I expected to know when the first MOT is due? How early can I take it in? Is it a month or two weeks? It's just...

Why is it that my Nokia N80 has started not playing ball when I text? When I press 4-7 you'd expect "is". But no, I get "Iq" When I press 4-8-1-7 I expect to get "it's", when in fact I get "it'r" What the heck is it'r? When I press 7-6 for "so" I get "pm The lastest one to mess up is...

Never been that keen on this colour but I know some people like it. Very rare at least. Clicky.

Ok, I've done a search, it seems there is two screws either side, three along the top... I got that far and pulled on the dash and the fecker wouldn't move. Had another search, it seems there are some screws behind the colour coded dash insert strips? How do these come off? Do they clip...

Can anyone please point me to a free program that converts a DVD as simply as possible to view on Nokia N80? I've searched around and found a few programs but not really sure what I'm doing. I want to be able to have The Mighty Boosh on my phone! :) Cheers.

Spotted parked up at Heworth Benfield Renault, Gateshead. 3:30 I thought you'd have been inside as I saw the car parked on top of a bay marking line ie across two bays. I guess one of the mechanics left it there. Service was it? I got a quote of £199 for 36k mile service. Not too...

Just got myself an N80 last Tuesday. Pretty pleased with it though after comparing photos on my mates K800 and finding they were very similar. Anyway, I got it hooked up to my wireless network at home ok and even been on this site through it. Is there anyway to change the screen sideways on...

Installed Windows XP on to a new system build for my girlfriend's pc. Everything went on fine. However, Those little check boxes for things like 'I accept the license agreement' (when you're installing stuff) or 'remember this setting' (when allowing stuff through on your firewall)...

Going past the GATSO on the way towards Gateshead stadium. Fog lights.... Clear day.... Hmm....:dapprove:

I'm currently with Orange and approaching upgrade time. I pay about £50 per month on contract so can have pretty much what I want (though I've not asked yet but never had trouble in the past). I've currently got a one year old SE W800i with 2Gb memory card. I was thinking of selling it on...

Just had my radio replaced under warranty. Wasn't until after driving away I've noticed the display is dim on the left side and bright on the right side. Everything works as normal. I've tapped the display, pulled out the radio and checked the wiring plugs. Any ideas or just a blown...

Here. I'm not the seller by the way.
