    Want to get into photography Total Noob any help ?

    DOH yea sorry 20D. Still a good body and much, much, much better to be spending money on glass. Might be old but results speak for themselves (these aren't L glass either and are obviously compressed for web)

    Power Steering

    No malice intended in my posts, if that came across apologies. I'm actually getting used to the non PAS now, parking isn't as bad as it used to be and slow speed corners don't even register as hard anymore. The rack is still a "quick" one deffo nowhere near 4 turns lock to lock but I'll have...

    Want to get into photography Total Noob any help ?

    My suggestion would be a mint second hand Canon D20 with a decent lens (not kit crap)

    just bought this strut brace?

    Sick how it costs £100 (K-Tec) for a bar of metal. Surly there's a fab on here that could make one just as good for less than £30?

    Lovely lens mate wish I had one.

    Squashed clio

    Sorry to see mate. Just out of curiosity why is it an "instant" Cat C (or any cat write off) if the boot floor is creased?

    Seatbelt

    I fed mine out the door and pressure washed them. A steamer would be better. Still a little dirty around the edge but so much better than they were. I tried APC and a soft brush/hot water and it was useless.

    How much would going from manual back to (or improving) PAS cost? Is it a big job?

    Power Steering

    Brad I see you point but I wouldn't go as far as saying not having PAS is madness. I use the rack from the 1.2 Dynamique and keep the column from the 182, it's pretty quick, accurate and direct. If the OP lives nearby he's more than welcome to come drive mine to see what it's like before...

    Power Steering

    I'm not assuming anything, if a motor brakes on the PAS then you still have to manually push through the extra resistance. This is getting to arguing over semantics which I don't want, it's not helpful to the OP. For me, PAS on the clio is really, really bad and removing it makes 90%+ of...

    Alloy Wheel Brush.. with a bit of 'Backbone' to it?!

    Man that looks sad

    Power Steering

    You can't compare a broken PAS system to one that has none. Imagine if a motor or hydraulic valve breaks and you have to force the motor by hand. With no PAS you don't have to force a broken part - there is none. Turn your engine off at 40 and see how hard and heavy the steering is. Getting...

    Alloy Wheel Brush.. with a bit of 'Backbone' to it?!

    They're Hoof Oil brushes and can be bought for less than £1 each when not sold as a "detailing brush".

    Power Steering

    Mine has the PAS removed and once over 10mph it's perfectly fine. Good PAS shouldn't be working when at speed and things like correcting oversteer really aren't an issue. When you have PAS and it breaks you'll have more resistance because you'll be having to force through the assistance, a...

    Quick 7 hour clean!

    Looks really good. Don't worry 7 hours used to be a "weekly clean" for me on my old car with dodgy paint.

    How do you take panaramic images?

    Oh and use the camera in manual settings with the same shutter speed and aperture.

    RX7 fail

    I'd love an RX7 - not like that though, it looks like bubblewrap

    How do you take panaramic images?

    Try to set your focal length around 50mm to avoid as much linear distortion as possible. Here are a few I've done (all photomerged in PS): Hand-held effort: Tripod effort (done in a grid to stop a stretched out image):
