I gave up too! Luckily it wasn't necessary in the end (thanks Brian!)

Definitive fix If anyone's interested the permanent solution is as follows: Remove skirt, by clipping cable tie. Drill small hole through the plastic bracket connected on the skirt nearest the handbrake. Screw through a small self tapping screw carefully from the inside without cracking...

Not out until the 30th March I think. It'll be a must buy if it's anything like the original, which was bloody brilliant. You can pick that up on Ebay pretty cheap, and it'll keep u entertained up until the 30th! S.

Quite an eye opener this. Didn't realise quite how effective it could be! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9Y6z7cXxEE S.

Yes the whole actual arm - I need access to the resistor pack, which very usefully can't be accessed without removing the whole arm first :-( S.

Seriously amateurish question here I'm sure: I can't get my drivers side wiper arm off - taken both the two big bolts off, but it still feels virtually welded on. What the hell were the bolts for then?! I've given it some seriously stick with the bolts off and it's on extremely firmly still. Am...

It's a great start - thanks for the reply! Anyone else? S.

Anyone know how to get cheaper texts to Europe (particularly Austria)? 40p per text on Orange is killing me. Don't mind using a pay account and PC application if it works! Cheers Guys! Steve Could a mod possibly change this thread title to read as a question, rather than a statement...

Hi! What one person calls loud another person might not. As for the Ktec Stealth, on medium revs I sometimes get people walking down the street turning round to see whats coming. I'd term that as loud, but a lot of people on here have ktecs and don't think they are. S.

53 reg mate - from the look on the search it's the heater resistor pack. I'll gladly cough up the 85 quid for the part if someone on here would be so kind as to provide a definitive description of how to change the little bugger! S.

Know someone who has one and absolutely hates it - avoid IMO! S.

Hi! This evening my climate control seems to have half died (FF 172 53 reg) - while the unit itself displays all the usual stuff, the fans never actually whirr and come to life no matter what buttons I prod and jab. Nightmare! Anyone experienced this before? I'm seriously hoping this might just...

You went through the hassle and expense of selling a car just to avoid a sub £300 service? Crazy surely?!

gliptone liquid leather - makes the interior reek of dead cow, its great stuff!

Ok then! Thanks!

Are 07744's currently allowed as part of Orange's cross network free minute deals, does anyone know? They're the numbers that allow you to call abroad for free. According to Martin's Money Tips they are, but can someone actually tell me right here and now with confidence that yes they are...

When I do a turn clockwise on full lock and hit a slight bump in my road I get a graunching noise for a moment that sounds like metal on metal from the rear suspension. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to the cause? I'm not knowledgable about such things! (It's a 53 reg 172, on 23k miles btw)...

I must be missing something, but I always think black wheels look like a grotty steely that the hubcap has fallen off of! S.

Simply beautiful. In a whole other league car wise. Hope you have some great times in that baby! S.

Perxactly my thoughts. Sheep in wolf's clothing... S.

See your point, but to be honest I could do everything I needed to do in MSDOS, but where's the fun in that? That's the point - using Vista is actually quite novel if you've been used to using XP every office hour for the last 6 years! S.

Works fine. Two issues though. Was getting bluescreens often until I realised that Aero was overheating my GFX card. Added a fan to it and haven't had a problem since. Will someone for the love of God release a yenc plugin for Windows Mail (and nah I don't wanna use a third party reader!)... S.

Can someone help advise me on what to get? I'd like to get something I could put quite a way away to fill some parts of a pic out (like maybe 20 ft or so). So it'd have to be wireless. I've only had the camera since xmas, so not much idea what I'm buying. I've had a look on Jessops, and I'm...

Try it and see. I found it incredibly boring, which is a tragedy as I was really looking forward to it. Nearly everyone else seems to love it though, and for that reason I'd say it's well worth recommending!

Checked the carpet/mat is fouling the throttle pedal? Happened to me and was very, very embarassing - was too busy trying look clever under the bonnet! S.

Thanks guys! s.

Anyone else ever had a trim problem of the skirt around the gearlever coming loose? It appears that the two small plastic tabs on it have both sheared off. Not quite sure how best to secure it as a blob of araldite applied last night pinged straight off this morning, first time I put it into...

You have the best *warm* hatch out there!

It's happened to me a couple of times last year, but when I turn the car on and off it goes away again. Dunno why!

Couldn't agree more. Bought it completed it in about 2 days and put it straight on to ebay. The control system was horrible, the grenades had such a small blast radius as to be not worth using and the length of the single player left me reeling, it was almost short enought to be a tech demo...
