    Proper Job

    I agree with Dan. I also think that until you have x amounts of driving years under your belt you should be limited to say a 1.4 maximum for your first few years.

    good start for a neewbie??

    Its all relative to how you use the DA/how long you work the polishes in for. (plus your choice of pads). I have the menz kit one (actually the same one) and its fine. Although the menz pads are s**t and dont last. Il be updrading mine in the new year. In "theory" the longer your work time...

    Clio Turbine Weight?

    Conflicting information but some people say 7.5Kg. I say more as they are almost the same as the standard RS 16" which weigh a whopping 17kg with a tyre on! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?464453-Turbine-Weight&highlight=weight

    good start for a neewbie??

    Id say so yes..For a spray sealent its pretty durable..Im pretty sure it would outlast the dodo waxes (which again I have). It still sheets after 2 months or so but doesnt bead very well..normal waxes (like dodo) bead well but dont sheet after about 2 weeks. I suppose thats down to the...

    good start for a neewbie??

    Yep I got it (took ages as it was forever out of stock on Clean Your Car and whenever I wanted to buy it I couldn't warrant the £5 postage just for one item. So bought it in the classfieds section over on detailing world..Brand new for £11 posted. Bargain. Not the best picture but it was used...

    Products in the winter..

    Unsure on that one geddes..as said last year things were fine..I didnt even notice any difference once it had got a bit warmer. But this year certain snow foams have gone mushy nad only 1 tub of bilberry has frozen up. Likewise its only some of the larger items I cant store anywhere "your not...

    Products in the winter..

    Luckily most of the other bits seem okay. To be honest I have waaay to much s**t that I don't use. Il find out what, if anything, has "died" once it warms up. Megs QD is fine..magifoam from autobrite is the one big thing that seems to be not enjoying the cold spell.

    Products in the winter..

    Its only certain what il call "top end" products that seem to be having this issue. Last year they were in the shed....same temperatures and no issues with any of the others. I bought Supernatural in and that has now lost its cloudiness and back to normal. Maybe should bring them in but...

    Products in the winter..

    Anyone else popped into the shed/garage and noticed most of their products either frozen up or looking a bit "odd"? My newly acquired bottle of bilberry was nigh on fully frozen, my bottle of supernatural shampoo was looking rather cloudy..a new bottle of snow foam had what looked like mould in...

    Damage to LCD TV - need advice

    Looks similar to the old Vertical hold that used to go on the older CRT screens that I was repairing when I was 16-17 (about 14 years ago!) Not worth it with a n LCD as it could either be IC related or could be the screen itself.

    Rural broadband advice...

    21CN is a load of bullcrap! Its basically BT's name for bringing the network up to scratch. So replacing all the older crappy cables and changing out the crappy ADSL Dslam's. My Exchange has been "21 CN ENABLED" since 2009..yet no-one in our town has a speed above about 5-6mb. An exert from...

    Rural broadband advice...

    Another trick is to remove the bell wire from your mastersocket. Older BT phones used to have a bell wire for ringing (they would send volts down to activate the "hammer" inside the bell). This is not needed on new phones. From testing here there can be a lot of noise induced in the line down...

    *** Official Call of Duty: Black Ops thread ***

    But thats what I mean..It doesnt work at all. Friends NEVER join my screen like they used to on MW2..It's definately not an issue with NAT type as if I switch back to MW2 or WAW then its fine! Peeing me off.

    ^^^ Probably not gally as its dependant on the connection to the test server. You may have a good ping to your exchange but from your excahnge to the server is the issue.

    Aerial fitter many moons ago (about 10!) ;) You can try Ebay although be carefull as some may be copies http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=masthead+amplifier&_sacat=0&_odkw=masthead&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 Only thing to be wary of is that if your in such a BAD signal area then...

    Rural broadband advice...

    Because its a secondary exchange not a main exchange. (I know its an exchange but BT have a whole list of "main or priority" excahnges and "secondary"/"third" exchanges. Also factor in the fact the the cables are likely to be 50 years old and probably cannot support any higher speeds without...

    TV Aerial Advice?

    Masthead amplifiers. Most come with PSU's already. http://www.tvaerials.com/shop.aspx?categoryid=730 Boosters like this are useless in poor reception areas as all you end up doing is boosting your already rubbish signal (any interference etc is boosted too)...

    TV Aerial Advice?

    Your Aerial on your roof?? Or the loft?? Masthead amplifier is your best bet to enable you to get digital. All the crappy "boosters" you can buy are useless for digital. You buy a masthead amplifier and the amplifier as close to the aerial as possible. The psu that drives it is then plugged...
