    Warm bonnet machine polishing? Over-cautious or genuine question?

    Chaps, I'm helping out a m8 who's bonnet has football scuff on it from kids playing near his car. He's about a 25 minute drive from me, but could I just make a start on the car straight away, when he gets to mine? Ironically, I removed three surface scratches from his passenger door about two...

    Headlight restoration - finally got there!

    Well, after my thread a short while back..... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/headlight-restoration-kits-do-they-work.774357/ I decided to have another go last weekend. The fundamental issue I had previously was with the 3M kit itself. The circular attachment fitted to a drill, which is then...

    Thread from MLR - JDM shed racing

    Would love to go to something like this. A proper rough 'n ready setup and I bet there are a few hidden gems amongst that lot... http://www.lancerregister.com/showthread.php?t=506573

    Driver's side xenon - what to check?

    I park in an underground spot where the auto lights kick in on arrival. On Friday night, I noticed it looked a bit dark from the drivers seat. I got out and saw that only the passenger side xenon headlight was on. I did the silly, obvious thing of tapping the headlight unit a bit, but the...

    Rally of Portugal 2015 - support run

    So, the opportunity came along to support my nephew in his first 'official' rally event, alongside the more established WRC event and drivers. The plan involved a run down to pickup the recce car near Oxford on the 15th May - get it on the trailer, and then continue down to Portsmouth for the...

    Headlight restoration kits - do they work?

    Well, I've had my 2nd attempt using the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit and I must admit that the results have left me underwhelmed. I think it doesn't help with the difficulty of using the kit with the headlights in-situ. The drill is constantly being fought against - forever wanting to drag a...

    Anyone handy with Visio? I've got a simple question...

    Pretty much new to it - just dabbled with a few basic flow charts. I can't seem to be able to edit the Title header when I insert a Border & Title. It must be a really straight-forward fix - but I can't see it and Google hasn't been much help! Cheers, D.

    Trophy - Abbey Village today

    Went past us at the Hare & Hounds pub - heading towards Belmont, about 4.30pm this afternoon. Noticed a CS sticker in the rear window too.

    Very clean '04 BG182 - Premier Inn, Rayleigh, Basildon

    Parked up there yesterday. Looked standard apart from being lowered. Nice, clean example. :cool:

    Brake issue on the way home tonight....

    Chaps, Set off home tonight and all was fine. Got about half a mile from work and went to cover my brakes into a left turn. The pedal went pretty much to the floor and I had that instant reaction to start slowing down with the aid of the handbrake. Pressing it harder, the brake (and I mean...

    Gaming industry - an interesting breakdown...

    http://hexus.net/gaming/news/industry/81424-gaming-hardware-market-worth-67-billion-2014-pcs-dominate/ Handhelds are such a dinosaur these days. A shame too. I'd much rather game on the go with a handheld than use the limited functionality of a smartphone.

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    This is worth a look chaps - if you haven't had the chance already. It's a 3rd-person hack & shoot fest based in space (and presumably) - the future. http://store.steampowered.com/app/230410/ The default video is a little weird to show. The majority of the action is on the ground - not in...

    Your favourite map of all time?

    What's yours? Any platform, any game. What map when loading gets you thinking of what to do the minute the game launches? Maybe you have a favourite vantage point or a set sequence that often works in your favour - should the map be on an RTS game, for example. The same could also be said about...

    iTunes - getting close to Hulk-smash....

    Chaps, Are any of you a genius on iTunes? I've literally spent nearly three hours this afternoon trying to solve the issue we have with my girlfriend's Apple devices and it's driving me frigging insane. In a nutshell, we want to delete every bloody tune and start again. Balls to downloads and...

    [PC] Legend of Grimrock II

    I've put over a dozen hours into this old-skool dungeon-crawler already - and it's much, much better than its predecessor. The first game, imo - was too difficult for the sake of it. Some of the puzzles were so difficult as to be totally abstract and bizarre - that it made progress tiresome and...

    No physical media A mere slip of paper with a license key on it Outer wrapping of a butty bag Oh, and a HUGE 73MB download for the actual program itself once you unwrap the license key itself. Somebody, somewhere is A) having a right laugh. And B) - making shedloads of money while doing it! D.

    iPhone 5 to MacBook Pro - Airdrop?

    So my girlfriend picked up her new MacBook Pro on Friday afternoon and I tried to Airdrop a couple of photos to her. During the failed connects & reconnects, I noticed that this was a widespread (and well known) issue within the Apple community. Is it really an issue, or is there a workaround...

    Mountain Lion download to a PC to burn the dmg file?

    Chaps, I must be missing something obvious, but I appear to be in a chicken and the egg situation? I have a sales order here with a redemption code for Mountain Lion Single Unit in order to do a clean iMac install with fresh hardware. I thought that I'd be able to log into the store, download...

    Housekeeping and tidy up of an iMac - sanity check?

    Chaps, Just wanted to run the following by you first. I'm fine doing this on PCs, but the Apple side is still a bit new to me! First off, my sister-in-law has an i5 27" iMac. The local HDD is getting quite full and it comes with the preloaded version of OSX that it had when purchased - approx...

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    Potentially, could this be down to nearly 10 years worth of build-up from road crap, rain and muck that has ran over the strips themselves? The threads I've read on here simply state a slide-back motion is required - yet I can't get them to move. Well, the passenger side anyway, as that's the...

    Cheating - and making games better?

    Now normally, I despise cheating in games. They quickly nullify any sense of achievement or progression through a game and ultimately make it quite boring. Perhaps the last time I was involved in any form of active 'cheat' in a game (prior to the one I'll mention below) was with online...

    A little AD Powershell help, please?

    Chaps, Just wondered if anyone could help me with a simple Powershell query out of AD? I've had a look online, but appear to be getting slightly contradictory feedback. Essentially, I just want an export (csv would be great, though I'm happy enough with txt) of all usernames within the domain...

    Black Gold 182 front-end revamp

    After years of faffing about and not pulling my finger out, I finally succumbed and gave the 'ol girl a front end respray. I got the front bumper (which was horrendous with stone chips in the paint and two scuff marks from welds trying to park at work! :mad:) - both front wings and finally the...
