    BG 182 55 reg

    Lol - I think mine broke in exactly the same spot about three years after I had it. To be honest, I'm amazed it lasted that long - wafer-thin metal, retained in place while the rest of the engine attached to it has the ability to flex and move on the mounts. I just clamped the broken bit...

    Battlefield 1

    Eh? Progression and ranks are at the core of every FPS worthy or note - they have been for a long time. I'm not against them in anyway - its the way they go about them that is the issue. As @-Craigo says - they probably speed-up the progression purely for the sake of the beta.

    Wiper arm

    You'll definitely need a puller - I've never managed the passenger side without one. Even then, it usually comes off with a 'CLANG!' - lol.

    Battlefield 1

    Unfortunately, I doubt it will ever return the older method of player progression. It's as though the devs and publishers think gamers need spoon-feeding rank increases and/or perks by simply firing a shot. It all becomes meaningless. I start the game as a total rookie, yet can achieve 7 ranks...

    BMW 440i Gtechniq Exo - New Car Detail

    Great effort - though being that colour, I bet the wow effects don't last long! Not looked into the specs of the 440i. Are they the spiritual successor to the 335i?

    Wiper arm

    The passenger side arm is an fecker to get off - the two central mountings are always easy in comparison. I've found in the past that having the arm raised first, alters the tension on the bolt and can sometimes make it easier to remove.

    How to activate Office on new laptop

    Its pretty popular here - especially when you can get the latest Visio and Project versions at £9.95 each as well. Mainly older staff that buy it when their kids are at college or uni. Not actually looked at Libre myself. Might have a dabble - more so with OpenOffice falling by the way side.

    How to activate Office on new laptop

    The other option is to check if your workplace has signed up to the Microsoft Home Use Program (HUP). http://www.microsofthup.com/hupuk/home.aspx?country_id=GB If they do, you can buy the fully legit version of Office 2016 Professional Plus for £9.95. A fraction of the cost that it appears in...

    My New VXR8

    Truly exceptional purchase. One to definitely smile about when you look back on your back catalogue of motors, in years to come. :up::cool:

    RS Monaco Clio surprise (Renault Clio R.S.16)

    Make something special enough and people will buy it. However, the term 'special' is open to interpretation and is purely in the eye of the purchaser. I like quirkiness. I like random changes to a car - simply because some design team/engineer thought that it was a good idea to do so. The Clio...

    Portable Speaker for Holiday

    From a personal taste viewpoint, it pisses me off when someone the other side of the pool or two floors up on the balcony decides to pollute the surrounding area with their choice of tunes. Granted, your musical tastes might be awesome, but you shouldn't enforce that onto other people nearby -...

    New member - Searching for a 182 FF or 172 Cup

    Too right. 41 here and I ordered my 182 when I was 29! Cracking cars for the money - find a good one and it will put a smile on your face.

    Laptop advice, heavy processing.

    As Andy says, a Quadro card would be a good shout. Though failing that, an i7 would be a must for your requirements.

    New Laptop Advice

    Are your CNC programs CPU/memory intensive in anyway? Also, how do you connect to the CNC devices from the laptop? Are they USB or via serial? We've got one particular CNC machine at work that is a right PITA as it relies solely on NetBIOS for connection. Literally steam powered, it's that old...

    Battlefield 4

    I really should give my Premium access a go. I'm probably waaaay behind in map knowledge now though and will play like a total n00b :smile:

    i am melting

    Lol - sounds well overdue for a re-gassing. Never had as good an air-con as I did in the Evo. That thing blasted Siberia in your face.

    The PlayStation 4 Thread.

    The review on TV just seemed gutless. Why not just keep their traps shut and pursue the PS5? It just dilutes the product as a whole when revamps are released with little in the way of true improvements.

    The PlayStation 4 Thread.

    Try 1,000% better, lol. Not got on the PS4, but PC. I need to have a dabble with the 360 pad settings as I've heard some good feedback when setup right. However, even with my elderly Logitrch G25, it plays really well. Funny you mention Oulton as I managed to get the Evo to drift so...

    Clio 200 EDC, are they really that bad?

    I bought my 182 without ever even sitting in one. Twelve years on, I still have it. I bought it on face value of all the positive comments it had at the time. Granted, it wasn't the smartest of things to do, but sometimes it works out for the best.

    Lol - even as a millionaire - I'd cringe at paying that for a laptop! Must weigh a bloody ton as well.

    The rattles!! Bass related!

    You're weighing down a 182 Trophy with hefty audio equipment? Shame on you! Is it definitely door card related? There are quite a few bits of trim and dash that vibrate even under normal driving - let along being agitated by bass.

    [PS4/PC] No Man's Sky

    I'm the same Andy. I just think the whole 'task' was far too big for an indie developer. They were attempting their own GTAV when really they should have been approaching the 2D capabilities of the first GTA game. For the scale of NMS to work - it would clearly need massively more content. The...

    Looking good! I'm assuming that 172s are not that common in Argentina?

    Wasn't he saying that if you played it for over 50 hours and claimed a refund, that you were a thief?

    Polishing Cloudy Headlights

    Isn't this the opposite? Xenon's don't generate a lot of heat - hence why they 'officially' need washer jets. It's the standard bulbs you'd have to worry about.

    [PS4/PC] No Man's Sky

    Genuinely lol'd at that. And in a strange way, I feel sorry for Sean Murray.
