    mobile phone insurance

    Either going to get a dell streak or htc desire and have been wondering weather to get phone insurance. I've never bothered before but especially if i get the streak i've heard it's easily breakable so might be best off. Wondering if anyone who's ever needed to claim has any views on it...

    i've been finding it a nightmare to get hold of a desire, was told yesterday they just can't get hold of them in the phone shop, think that was phones4you Might try either the streak or galaxy S now if i still can't get one

    Steering Wheel

    I stuck black bandage over mine, just replaced it after 3 months, cost about £1 a time and is a cheep alternative! Have to admit it's sort of melted into the pattern of the bandage weave, but seeing as i just covered it again it dosen't make any difference had a thread somewhere... ah here...

    Painting & Protecting Calipers

    Yea defo either black or just left to standard. I was considering trying to see if i could colour match them body work wise, but think that could be a little pants and over the top. Actually might try to find some pictures of what it'd look like first, still not completely sure if it's be worth...

    Painting & Protecting Calipers

    can you paint the outside of the drum brakes too, and would it be the same method.? If i'm ever gonna get my alloys perfect then it'd be nice to not have them looking so shappy and corroded/rusty/what ever it is on them! I'm thinking just black inside the silver alloys might be quite smart

    Whats a good mid-range tyre

    what the wear like in terms of mileage, done 16k this year, went through the front budget tyres in about 5k and the rears have lasted the whole 16k both budget, not sure how much were on them before I got them though! as long as i can get a year out of them then it'd ok, i guess. Not sure what...

    Whats a good mid-range tyre

    Good idea, the rears are better than the fronts, although they aren't great anyway! Got a few hundred off the price when i bought it because of the state of the alloys and the rear bumper, just never got around to getting them re-done... half fancy trying a diy job before actually getting them...

    Whats a good mid-range tyre

I'll check whats left on mine, but will be doing a few hundred miles before then, so might be a bit late this time! the wear marker is flush with teh tyre, and not sure how far the markers worn...

    Whats a good mid-range tyre

    how easy is it then to get fitted, and what extra cost am i likely to incur for fitting and balancing and stuff? Want to go to a decent place really had 6 months of the worst fitted tyres ever last year, ended up having to go and get the sides all re gummed as was refilling them 2 twice a week!

    Whats a good mid-range tyre

    Need two new rear tyres asap really, last time i needed two new fronts I asked at the garage what mid-range they recommended and ended-up getting Marshal MATRAC FXMU11's, which seem good, but only ever had budget tyres before so haven't got anything to compare them with! Should i try and get...

    HTC Desire vs iPhone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S @ techradar

    ah kwl, well might go for the desire if they are back in stock before i need to renew, feel like it'll be disappointed when the desire HD come out as the desire will already be old after only a couple months, unless i then sell the desire i guess

    Steering creak

    i did have this problem it was awful, haven't noticed it since getting the ball joints replaced, but will turn the radio off in the morning and listen out to see if it's actually stopped!

    Free Summer Health Check - Renault

    Looks good, something for nothing, but know they'd kick-up a fuss about my rear tyres, maybe once i replace them i'll go and get it done! Need a Hi-Vis too, was out cycling last weekend and realised i was wearing all black clothing at dusk :-s

    Is Google working for everyone?

    Depends on what backup method you take, I've got a cheapish external Hard drive i plug in and do it all manually, but got my parents a more expensive one that once set-up does it all automagically this one: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/wd-my-book-elite-external-hard-drive-1tb-03769038-pdt.html...

    Is Google working for everyone?

    that yahoo answers thing sounds a bit dodgy, like the calls i get from my mum who says the computer says it's got xyz virus and i need to download mnop program to get rid of it.... usually after some searching it appears mnop is actually a virus and xyz is a harmless pop-up although then again...

    MOT failure.

    Is the £68 for one, or both? if they are the same as non-sports I got both for about that from euro car parts, paid £160ish for fitting, but that was for arms, ball joints and the front shocks, on both sides and tracking afterwards!

    HTC Desire vs iPhone 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S @ techradar

    Those who said earlier in the thread they were picking up a Galaxy S soon, how is it? I'm about 4 hours away from just clicking to buy that one, instead of getting the desire for £50 less, am I right, know loads of people with a desire saying i should get that instead, but no-one with a galaxy...

    no it's now the standard shell, so just the bog standard stuff, only premium you pay is how ever much more it is than the supermarkets and stuff, which i don't use anymore anyways

    Would these products be worth it?

    ah kwl, good to remember, maybe I'll give it to my dad to try... our 4x4 has the worst alloys i've ever seen, and my dad's tried every product under the sun to clean them, so it couldn't make it any worse, and it'll look like i'm trying to help! the pack had : a really nice bag, 9 storage...

    Would these products be worth it?

    The HD-wax and the 10 piece bagged gift pack, didn't really want another tub of wax and the kit seems handy, it's a nice storage bag, as duplicates for the stuff i like and could try out other bits of the kit that i haven't used before too, tried the glass polish and that seemed good, haven't...

    Would these products be worth it?

    Got bored on Saturday and either was going to the american candy shop to buy tons of sweets and Mountain Dew, or Halfords to get cleaning stuff, so i took the healthier option and got tons of Auto-glym stuff spent near on 6 hours cleaning and it's look nice, took some photos so will try and post...
