    Scout Moor wind-farm this afternoon

    ....a bit random, but why not?! :cool: It was a decent afternoon and I had the camera with me out on the walk. First time I'd been up there since it had opened. I was amazed at how quiet the spinning blades were. In the distance - probably about a mile and half from our house...

    Any Active Directory experts on here?

    Chaps, I've been using CSVDE to look for a specific entry in AD. Basically, I'm after unticking the box on 'Client Devices -> Connect Client drives at Logon' for all users - as seen below:- I could go through all the OUs manually and untick them, but I can't be arsed! ;) Anybody...

    Standard fit - cat back options for the 182?

    Chaps, Just weighing-up the options here. Although my exhaust it still fine for now - with the age of the 182, it will need replacing at some point. What options are out there if I don't go OEM? I would just want a straight forward - cat-back, bolt-on system that would replace the OEM one...

    197 Cup in white - near the Evo Triangle

    You'll pulled into the Shell garage and then spotted you again later going past us all parked up. Had a Renault Sport visor strip on it too. Just needs the optional boot spoiler now. :cool: Anyone? D.

    n2grafix RS182 sticker on the front bumper...

    Having taken up Ady's offer on the thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=358282 - I walked around my car a good half-dozen times thinking where to place it! Settled on the nearside front. Not unique by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm happy with it there. Tried taking a...

    TLC day for the 182

    Well, today was the culmination of a few issues building up over the last two weeks with the 182. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=354145 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=353987 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=357483 When I spoke to...

    Knock-knock.....who's there? (pic)

    Great.... :dapprove: Heard a knocking noise coming from the inside rear for the past few days. Only when driving over grids, dips in the road and stuff. Sure enough, it looks like the shock has gone. Still, 50k+ mileage isn't too bad I suppose. Time to get two new 'uns for the rear...

    Wrong plug sequence?

    Changed the spark plugs today on the 182. Did it the safe way (i.e. one at once) and worked from right to left. With the inlet housing off, the first plug had '4' written on the rubber. Next onto '3' and yet the next said '1'? :S Sure enough, the last plug to be changed said '2'. Is this a...

    Part number check please, guys...

    Just spoke to spares at Renault and they said that the inlet manifold gasket is part number 7700114203 and cost £4.91+VAT. He mentioned that there were quite a few different gaskets on the system, so I just wanted to check this is the correct one? Cheers, D.

    n00b 182 spark plug question

    Chaps, before I go any further to check the state of the spark plugs, am I right in saying that the top of the inlet assembly has to come off to get to them? I stopped at that point as I saw a gasket at the front (where the 10mm hex bolts are) and didn't want to risk damaging that. I'm...

    182 pinking...

    I've only noticed it in the last week really, having been off work. If I put the car under a bit of strain, say third gear at a relatively slow speed, the engine pinks quite badly. It's never done this before. It sounds like the familiar Clio V6 pink noise, but actually a little harsher, imo...

    Willy, parked up on Fairfield Rd, Droylsden

    Passed in on the way over to A-U-L from Manchester. K plater - Willy 3? D.

    Anyone at Oulton Park for the Gold Cup today?

    Let on to a 172 Cup as we pulled up. Spotted a black 197 there too. Was anyone else there today? D.

    PG04 - RB182 with stripes - near Standish

    Saw in parked up on the road today - looking v.clean and shiny. :) Anyone? D.

    Low memory issue. Will this run?

    Time for an upgrade, methinks..... ;) D.

    3DMark2006 score results - on different O/S's

    Just thought a few people on here maybe interested in the results. At best, I use 3DMark as a guide-line only - there are far too many variables of system builds to put in a true performance figure. It is also heavily CPU biased, so if you have a decent CPU (re: Intel) then your figures should...

    Truly lossless audio ripping?

    Right chaps. Bit of an unknown area this for me, but I'm after getting like-for-like rips of audio tracks for me to make my own CDs. I've got a raft of original CDs, but like most people, just want the odd track off the album, here and there. What's the best thing to use? Even Windows Media...

    5-door, black 182 in Bury....

    A few days ago now. A good effort, from what I saw of it. Complete with twin pipes, boot badging and RS alloys. Something at first glance didn't look right and it was then I noticed the rear doors. :) Anyone off here? D.

    This will reveal the age of some gamers on here - if you remember this!

    I remember my m8 having one of these consoles. We would have been about 7 or 8 years old when he had this. It's a Philips Videopac system - from about '81, iirc. Makes me feel kinda old - lol. Amazing kit in its day.... :cool: D.

    W-reg silver 172 - Civic Centre, Heywood

    Parked up there, with aftermarket alloys on and not a whiff of a CS sticker in sight. Could still be on here though? :) D.

    Some pics from Saturday's Lakes outing

    No credit at all to me - I was driving! Dunc was the photographer-biatch for the day - in the passenger seat of Shaun's V6. :) A great run out on some superb roads. Attracted a lot of attention -...

    '04 Arctic blue 182 @ Oulton with front mudflaps - on here?

    ....if so, tell me about your flaps! ;) Didn't manage to have a proper look as I would have looked a right teewat inspecting a mudflap on a car. Would really like to know which ones you bought and how easy they were to fit. Cheers, D.

    YH03 (?) silver 172 with Yozza sticker - Darwen

    I was sat in traffic, waiting to turn towards the motorway at Junc.4 when the silver 172 went past. Female driver. I didn't let on as I was in a works Golf. :) D.

    Fanatec wheel - as seen in Performance Car mag

    Anyone got one? Could it be a rival to the Logitech G25? http://www.fanatec.de/html/index.php?id=210&lang=en Seems to cost twice as much, mind! ;) D.

    Non-cabled areas. Any roll-out timescales?

    Chaps, Are there any links or info relating to areas that haven't got cable coverage, having some ETA on when they will be done? I'm assuming that not everywhere can or will have cable access - but it would be good to find out. Cheers, D.

    Cisco training - any recommended centres?

    Ideally in the north - Manchester would be perfect. :) Me and a colleague are looking into getting some Cisco training - specifically on their low-to-mid range routers. Command line stuff, protocols, access lists, etc. Any thoughts, guys? Cheers, D.

    Twin 7900GTX's vs one 8800GT?

    Any real advantage in the 8800GT over the 7900GTX SLi setup? With the 8800GT's down to barely a ton now - if the performance increase in there, it maybe worth it? I'm running Vista too, so there's the potential of DX10 support too. Cheers, D.

    Some Time Attack pics @ Oulton Park, today...

    Good day out at Oulton Park today, though the weather was really screwed up. One minute it was.... The next it just chucked it down! When I first got there this morning, most cars were struggling with wheelspin. Very quick rises in revs followed by the compulsory wastegate chatter...
