Hi, Well, I replaced the ratchet mechanism on my clio to try and cure the creaking clutch. It worked, however I now have a different noise!!!! It's now something to do with the brand new ratchet. It sounds like a zip tie being pulled every time I press the pedal. It only happens on the down...

Hey ppl, Just wondering which usenet (newsgroup) reader you use? I've been using NewsLeecher but the trial is about to run out. I've tried a few others like GrabIt and Forté Agent but they either dont support .nzb's or do not decode binaries (yenc) very well. Cheers, -TS

Hey all, I have just started messing around with DivX. When I convert from this format to DVD I get 100% CPU usage (according to Windows XP task manager thing). I know it is bad to ALWAYS run at 100%, but is it OK for an hour or two? I'm running a P4 2.66GHz with 1gig of DDR RAM. I dont have...
