Like the one for movies, but for games innit. FEAR 3 Half Life 2 meets Resident Evil meets some randomly annoying piece of crap. 6/10 Uncharted 3 Epically brilliant. 9/10 Football Manager 2012 As addictive and brilliant as always, yet I have somehow turned to s**t at it. 8/10 gwan..

I changed the oil & filter on my car the other day, and since then it seems to be running a hell of a lot smoothly. Not that it was exactly running badly before, but you get the gist.. However, I've now noticed that the sump plug is leaving a slight puddle of oil when I'm parked up for a bit...

You were going in as I was coming out - about 2:30pm today. Loads of lairy green stickers & wheels, looked mental but in a good way.

This isn't a serious issue, yet. But it is pretty annoying. Every now and then the central locking doesnt work as easily as it should from the fob, in the past I've just bought a new battery and it has worked. Now though it'll only work if my fingers bleed from pressing the button and...

You just came on at the Trafford Centre junction (about 9:55am) and flew right past me. The spray from your wheels looked f**king cool. Yes, I realise I sound like a child. I was stuck behind a dick in a 3 Series who didn't know what a lane was. True story.

bit good that. If i had decks and shiz I'd be all over it.

The first New Beetle was a bit girly. Although I liked it. This, I fecking love. Looks cool as f**k. Like a cross between the old New Beetle, and a Porsche Cayman. A Bit. Somehow. Not that I'll be getting one. -Autoblog

Finally got my iPhone 4 upgrade the other day, and since syncing it to my mac it's been showing 'No Service' on the top left, where it should say O2-UK. I'm aware it can take time to activate, I think I had the same problem with my iPhone 3G. However, I got it on Wednesday - and it's...

Hai! My air is ballsed, so I'm in the process of getting a new hd and some form of OSX to install on it. Question is, what version shall I get? I was about to just get the standard box of Leopard (10.5.1), yet in the small print it states that if the machine originally shipped with an OS...

I bought a first gen Macbook air second hand (from here, incidentally) and in what I thought was perfect condition a month or so back. These past few days however, its taken a fair while to boot up and today it won't do it at all - constantly switching between the white apple & blue loading...

Other than a colour coded Magic Tree, this is as standard a MK2 ph1 S as they come. Unfortunately, as the wheels are f**king horrid and the front and rear bumpers, as well as the bumpstrips need colour coding, as they look terribad. For this reason, I havent really touched the wheels...

My iPhone 3G is ballsed. Back's cracked to buggery, volume switch disappeared, dock connector splitting apart, screen cracked, dust under the screen, home button dying, glass around home button smashed. So, "why the hell don't you just get a new one?" I hear you say. Well I would but my...

I know this is a hilariously stupid question to someone who knows the answer, but is Airport Extreme essentially Apple's branded wifi? - I know of the basestation, plugs etc.. I'm looking at some minis on eBay, and they all mention Airport Extreme cards as opposed to Wifi; which is what I'm...

Balls. My original mac mini (oldskool) is dying, I want an iPad to use solely as an alternative. My mac is still running Tiger (again, oldskool) - iPad's don't play with Tigers. I'm due to get rid of my virtually dead iPhone 3G (yet, again oldskool) for a iPhone 4 in the new year -but wait? the...

I was sat in traffic outside Morrisons in Dukinfield yesterday (4pm-ish), and thought I'd never seen any Clios about with 'cliosport.net' stickers on. Then, as if by magic - I spot a sexy looking 172 cup with a sticker on the side. Either that or I was imagining it. edit: There is supposed...

Ok, this is the longest longshot ever... But has anyone here got the original install discs for OSX Tiger that I could borrow? I reinstalled it on my mini the other day, yet when I get prompted to put the second disc in it just spits it out after a bit, so I now cannot do a thing with it...

Ok, excuse the n00bish question - but what oil filter do I need for my car? (mk2 ph1 1.4 16v) - I'm planning on doing an oil change tomorrow, but am not to sure what filter I'm supposed to be looking for. Theres no mention in the Haynes manual or handbook (unless I am, infact a blind idiot)...

I've decided I want to spray my shitty standard 8 "spoke" alloys, as I can't stand the sight of them. Until I get my hands on some 172 16". They'll probably be going black - before I do it though, I wanted to see if anyone else has attempted spraying these wheels, but I'm certain I've never...

Just been out to get some bits, and chucked what I bought in the boot. Yet I've just got back home, and now my boot won't open either with central locking or the key. The lock moves when I press they keyfob as usual though. Crawling through from the inside, the lock looks like it's missing a...

Are mk2 ph1 & ph2 (ones with white circles) exactly the same at the back; ie -would it be a straight swap with one for the other? I assume so, but I'd appreciate a certain answer though. Cheers.

I want to do some work on my callipers, but couldn't find my locking wheel nut bolt/key. I bought one of the locking wheel nut removers from halfords, but the square fitting on the back is larger than on my socket set - I could just try and get an adapter I suppose.. I managed to squeeze it...

One of my headlights is messed up due to the previous owner polishing over with turtle wax to clean; now I could probably clean it up, following the thread on here. But I've tried already and it's a bit of a ballache to be honest, and it's going to take an age to get it anywhere near how I want...

Thought I might as well start a 'project' thread seeing as I intend to a bit of work on the car, might as well put it here. I bought it last Jan (09), and initially only planned to have it a year, then move on to something else (like I have with my other two cars), but after having a few...

I just finished work at 10 o'clock, went to my car but when I went to unlock the doors with the keyfob nothing happened. Thinking somehow I didn't lock the doors (despite the fact, that even if I did the hazards would still flash) I just opened the door with the key, however when I went to...

I just went to try and fix my gas struts on the boot, when I took one off the boot unsurprisingly slammed shut. With my keys in the boot. I am an idiot. How can i get back in without this costing me a fortune?

I've just noticed my tow eye is missing from the boot. I've got a bad feeling I accidentally threw it away the other week. I know there's been a lot of mention of tow eyes on here, but I'm only after the standard one. As now I know it's not there I'll be paranoid about having a smash or...

Ever since I got my car, the boot always decides it doesn't want to stay in the 'up' position when I open it, meaning it just goes straight back down. The dealer I bought it from said it was like that from the previous owner - but wasn't sure why it happened. I didn't believe him, but got the...

I'm going to change the knackered battery in my mk2 for a new one tomorrow, before I do though is there anything I should be aware of? Or is it just a case of old one out, new one in? Also, how do I go about getting the disc-like clamp off the positive terminal on the old battery? I haven't...

For the past few days I've noticed a horrid banging coming from the rear passenger side, whenever I accelerate off. Fearing the worst, I had a look and it seems that the rubber mount that the exhaust sits in has split so its now just metal on metal (exhaust & bracket) with a lot of empty space...

When I bought a mkII the other week, I kept my headunit from my old car and just transfered it across. Is there any reason why it doesn't remember the radio stations I've set as favourites? It worked fine before, and now it's just a pain in the arse scrolling through each time to get the...
