    197 on springs?

    Basically, with my Renault 50 point check (With my service), one suspension coil is split on one side and one is corroded on the other side. Has anyone lowered their 197 on springs? This is obviously the easiest/cheapest way to fix the issue, but I've heard a couple of stories about it making...

    Argh! Linux, Samba and Windows!

    Have a desktop running Ubuntu, trying to create a shared folder on there that everyone on works internet can access/modify. I created the folder on Ubuntu, right click > 'Local Network Share' It asked me to install a few bits which it did automatically etc. I went on to a Windows computer...

    Building a work sharing system.

    Bascially, we all use OneDrive at work so we can go in to the folder, update spreadsheets and everyone has it to hand. OneDrive is a little bit sh*t. We're also not interested in DropBox. We have a spare PC which we'd like to turn in to a server of some sort. How would we go about this? We...

    Reckon this 'chip' is repairable?

    Went to put some screenwash in the car this morning and noticed this chip. It's a little bit smaller than a 5 pence piece I'd say. Would someone like ChipsAway or whatever they're called be able to repair this? Needing it done ASAP before it all flakes away!

    Nimbus 172 - A308(M) - Towards Maidenhead, 3:40

    Needs a clean just as much as mine! Has a nice deep roar though! I was the idiot in the eskimo jacket trying to get passed you but the green jag got in my way! Saw you had a ClioSport.net sticker so hopefully you're on here!

    Frozen calipers?

    Urgh, went to move the car this morning and back wheels were locked up. Sprayed them in de-icer, and then hot water to melt the ice, took about 15 minutes of waiting for it but wheels finally moved. Theres still an awful lot of drag however but it managed to get me to work. Is this common on a...

    How hard is it to remove a 197 bumper?

    Not going to lie, an absolute mechanic novice - how difficult a job is this? Headlight bulb change time. I've done passenger side by removing air intake etc but there isn't enough room to put the rubber seal back on so looks like the light unit has to come out! :(

    Simple things that make you sigh of relief.

    Achieving this on a 197! Just need to get the rubber seal back on now! Nightmare! Opted for the air intake off method.

    Rough estimate of time taken for Clio 197 headlight change?

    Hi guys, I understand it's a bumper off job etc. (I haven't got little hands, more like a pack of 5 Walls Sausages). How long roughly does it take to have the bumper off and headlight out to replace the bulb? Cheers

    Clio 197 headlight fuse box?

    Where abouts is this located? It isn't by the battery, or in the drivers footwell. Got a feeling it's underneath the battery tray, would I be correct? Going to check the fuses before removing the bumper and replacing the bulbs. Once the engine was rebuilt and turned over, neither headlight...

    Headlight not working.

    Hi guys, Any ideas on this? Headlight isn't working - only side lights & main beam. Light comes up on the dash also. Both bulbs couldn't have gone at exactly the same time, surely? With main beam still working?

    iPhone washing machine problem. Fixable?

    So.. Boss came up to me today and told me that his littlest put his iPhone 6 in the washing machine, uh oh! I've told him not to try and power it on so it doesn't surge the boards, also told him to stick it in rice for a day or two! The phone is off obviously now but the flashlight on the...

    Anyone still play MW3? [Xbox 360]

    Not really an old fashioned kind of guy but don't see the point upgrading to the Xbox One for the little time I play on the thing and MW3 is by far my favourite from the CoD series. Anyone still playing it on the 360?

    Hmm, what to do first.

    Well, after Mike Woodford rebuilds the top end of the engine as belt slipped a tooth, this is what the 50-point check threw back; Illegal tyre - Easy. Number plate light needed - Easy. Lower ball joint requires hub carrier - Anyone have any idea on cost of the hub carrier? One suspension arm...

    Where do I stand?

    Ok, so basically - My car went in to Renault today for a service. Barring the long list of "Needs urgent attention" they gave me on the 50 point check, all is well. They've been moving it round the forecourt all day and moved it to get valet'd. I saw them then move it to do the wheels with the...

    What sort of price should I expect to pay for..

    a new lower ball joint and getting it fitted? Just at a guesstimate!

    Does anyone know how Facebook store their videos?

    Basically, trying to write my own 'Facebook video downloader' - Downvids is an example of one. I can't work out how Facebook are storing videos in order to be able to rip them. Even my WebSniff app won't detect how it's being done.

    Squeeking on wheel turn.

    Hi guys, What could cause this? It only happens (can only hear it) when I'm sat still - no, it's not the tyre rubbing against the floor. Quite loud, a bit like a screech. Sounds as if it's coming from drivers side front. Anything I can look for to try and pin point the problem? Cheers, Lee

    Excel help.

    Basically, I work for an eCommerce company. We use magento and this is how our orders come out; Now, we had a slight issue where if they ordered two products (FRBRED + FRPIL), it wasn't merging them together on the download. So now, their order number is 12345 (example) and they have two...

    Photoshop Guru needed!

    Went to a tattoo parlour the other day - a really lazy one where they told me to hire someone who could draw... I have found this picture of Coco the clown which I like but.. here's the big but.. He's smiling and I ideally want him to look a bit upset/sad. I know it's a hard challenge - don't...

    Blue 182 - Hammersmith Bridge - 17th November 2014

    I was in the Luton van - you shouted out the window in the traffic I'd left the petrol filler cap open. I was driving but it was actually a colleague you spoke to who'd got out to shut it. We were on our way to set up for the Ideal Home Show at Earls Court!

    Updating to iOS8 problems.

    I may be being stupid here but the warehouse guys downstairs want their phones updated to iOS8 - Because it uses so much more memory (they don't have) doing it wirelessly as opposed to connected to iTunes, I'm sending them up one by one and updating via my desktop. I have managed to do 3 so...

    What are the differences between..

    The non-sport models? ie; Billabong/Dyanmique/Expression? Does anyone have a guide anywhere? I'm assuming it's things like electric windows, some have cruise control etc? Cheers

    Blue 182 - Drift road & surrounding.

    About 10 minutes ago - was a good little spirited drive trying to catch up with you after I got held up by that Micra you managed to skim passed! Sounds loud though! What exhaust is on it?
