A few days ago my internet router died so i went out and bought a new one (same make etc) but now i cant get my xbox to connect to it.
It finds the router etc asks for the wep key i put that in but it doesnt connect...
Will it be a problem with the router or xbox?

I was thinking 195/50/16? to soften the ride a little, if u can get them that is not really clued up on tyres :o
This also raises another little problem... these rub on the...

Im refurbing my alloys this week and im unsure on what colour i want them so i thought id ask for some ideas on colours.
They are ph2 172 wheels and they will be going on a black car, i dont want anything OTT like luminous green etc lol
I was thinking white?
Ideas please!
When the car is off the fuel gauge goes to full and when the ignition is on or when the car is running it goes to the current level?

Im unsure wether my car has central locking or not..
The battery in the fob is dead and needs replaced (i think), my last clio had it but didnt have this little black thingy

So when i...
I will be getting one for the wonderful price of £35 :cool: (T reg)
But it needs an engine which i have sourced for £60 which suits me just fine! and i can fit it myself, needs a few other bits and bobs, has a few scratches some worse than others but u cant expect much for its age...
