    Pass MOT With Flying colours

    £44 - Mine's this Monday. First one, car being a 53. Is it right that if it fails and you take car away, they charge a half fee to re do it?

    Phone insurance

    Just it running slow sometimes (despite a hard reset and installing sms accelerator) and suggesting some stupid predictive text words like CV first before AT just because I once used CV in a text. Or witi for with.

    Phone insurance

    I know a lot of people loved it, then after getting used to it, hated it. I like mine in all honesty. Sure the sms system isn't the greatest but everything else is fine. Takes good pics, radio, mp3, wifi, I've got about 10 episodes of the Mighty Boosh on it, and now TomTom6! Yes it...

    Phone insurance

    I 'broke' the screen of my w800 a month before my upgrade. I got a new phone, which I kept pristine and sold it on ebay as brand new making a nice profit. I got £150 for it. The original one I had would have fetched about £50 as it was pretty badly marked. Then on my upgrade a month later...

    Orange Contract £35, Unlimited txts, 550 min, anyone use it?

    One thing you need to be careful with this tariff..... I've always used delivery reports with my texts but on Dolphin they cost you 1p each. My texts went up from about 200 per month on my old tariff to nearly 700 on Dolphin costing me nearly 7 quid because of the reports. I phoned up...

    Cup spoiler going cheap!

    Me: How much to post to Tyne and Wear? Him: will post at cost Me: Yes but I want to know how much as I have had to pay unjustified postage in the past. Him: Maybe you could find out, like I say at cost. Me: But I don't know how much it weighs, size etc! Doesn't...

    new 172 feels slow

    Are you actually driving it correctly? You do need to rev it fairly hard keeping the needle over 4-5k. When I first got my old VTS I thought it was slow until I learned how to get the most out of it. Get it in 2nd or 3rd gear with the revs at about 4.5k and whack your foot down. You...

    Thing To Look Ou For When Buying A 172

    Look out for the 4k rattle. Rev stationary car to 4k and see if it sounds horrendous. Its the exhaust centre section.

    Brake Pads Please Help

    On the back of the caliper you will see some bolts. Not the biggest ones towards the centre of the axle but the smaller ones towards the edge. Undo the bottom one completely and loosen the top. Pull of the metal clip thing. The caliper should swing up clearing the pads. Remove pads...

    this is the weirdest thing ever! Only ten minutes ago I noticed a weird squeaking coming from what I thought was the scroll wheel each time I rolled it. Then I realised it was coming from the speakers. Then I read this thread.... doo do doo dooo do dooo doo dooo

    Gearknob badge

    You can prise it out carefully with a blunt butter knife or something similar. They often get worn due to rings etc. I touched mine up with silver paint. The bezels (badges) often sell on ebay for anything up to £20.

    front windscreen + wipers

    I get this. I had a new windscreen fitted a month ago and haven't yet used anything other than car washing liquid to clean the whole car. Gonna invest in some new wipers and get back to using RainX.

    First MOT for 53 reg 172

    I was planning getting the MOT at my local small garage. It shouldn't really have any faults as it only had it's 36k service a week ago. Cheers.

    First MOT for 53 reg 172

    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...

    1 MB BB takes 20 seconds between web pages!!!

    Im on Telewest 10mbps BB. Sure I can get actual download speed of 1MB per second but often web pages are slow still. Incidentally for anyone who doesn't know... 1mb broadband re thread title isn't 1MB ie 1MB per second it's 1mega BIT per sec which in theory means you can download 1mega...

    Worlds #1 Gamer Tag

    Who ever wins is not going to be as good as him and if they use his tag, the ranking will go down quickly and be worthless in weeks.

    N80 firmware update

    What is this 'other way' to install 'generic firmware' Wish I'd re read this thread before faffing on backing everything up. I'm on Orange and it said no updates available.

    N80 firmware update

    Come on! Cheers for this. My N80, while I love it and stroke it regularly, is getting slow. I wanted to stamp on my old 6600 when it got slow and swore I'd never touch Nokia again and went Samsung and SE before the N80. Hope this sorts out my ridiculous-first-word-suggested in my...
