8 grand will get you a FF182 with both cup packs, tidy condition, circa 25k miles, and at least 6 months remaining manufacturer's warranty

I like the wheels but how boring does it look? Apart from the wheels and the cooling vents, it looks like a regular clio :(

Look in the section that lists the supplementary servicing requirements. I think it's the same bit that tells you the spark plugs need changing at 72k miles.

I think there is some confusion on here as to the difference between a cam belt and an accessories belt. If your accessories belt goes, you lose power to engine driven accessories like air con and power steering. As long as you don't drive off the road without your power steering and crash...

So I'd go with my original advice about formatting.

I think I have a winner... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/B3491-Gigabyte-GA-K8VM-Athlon-64-Skt-754-Rev-1-0_W0QQitemZ120131087805QQihZ002QQcategoryZ99244QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting Gigabyte GA-K8VM Athlon 64 Skt 754 If this is your mobo, the chances of upgrading the cpu are zero I'm afraid.

I bet he was bumping his own auction and ends up winning it! ;)

Pulling power is better with a FF than a cup. Although I don't mean the torque figures, I mean when a lady gets in and goes "oooh this is nice".

Christ, no I won't it's over £7 grand already! I was going to put on £100 or something!

I'll push the boat out and put on a bid... brb!

I agree about the benefits of buying from a dealer, but still I think the price of the cup is pushing it too far. For that price you'd be wanting one with very low miles and fantastic condition. The 182 sounds like better value though if you're willing to travel I think you could find better on...

They found gold, black gold that is! (I concur with Rich, though if you cut him in half you'll find a tin of black gold paint ...and an autoglym sticker)

That GFX card will run all the current games at decent res with reasonable detail nice and smooth. To run the next generation of games you're likely to have to reduce detail or resolution to get decent frame rates though. You may or may not be too bothered about this.

I'm sceptical of these core increases tbh. They're targeted at multitasking but personally as a gamer I don't care. You get a single core running at lightspeed for optimum performance in games with no background programs running. If you're d/l while listening to music and browsing the...

I don't see why this pc is running slow tbh. Yes another 1MB of RAM would help quicken things up. I imagine your 150GB hard-disks have slow access times too being so big, maybe get one small one for installing your OS on and just the applications you want to run fastest. The first thing I'm...

£191 at the min, run it till the Mot runs out and then bin it i it needs repairs. Can't lose at that price.

I'm going to get broadband at home in November. What's wrong with the home-hub? I was planning on going for the BT package number 3, should I not be doing this?

He's paying a premium but maybe he got something back for it. Like buying a car straight from renault is about 90% as likely (or not) to go wrong as buying private, but as he paid all that money to a proper Renault garage he'll be treated well by them and they're likely to be fairly helpful...

They are very nice looking. But I would like the xenons. Plus I'm worried about the height/comfort issue. I've had another look at 182's and I could get one with less than 30k miles on the clock with both cup packs for £8k, maybe less. I think ideally I'll end up with a 182 with both cup...

So what specifially is the issue? Do they not leave you with enough headroom or legroom or both?

Edde, why don't you like the Recaros in Renault fitment?

I'm definitely getting rid of my BMW and getting a clio again. I've now ruled out a cheap phase 2 172 as I'd want something newer and also to have cup appearance. So I was looking at 182's with cup packs. But after a while it looks like the really tidy low milers do fetch that bit extra. So...

I never take up two spaces. I do however often park: -in the middle of the car park -on an end spot next to a kerb/hatched area and get right up to it -next to expensive cars -never next to MPV's or cars with child seats -never next to shopping trolley return area

Most games are still in 4:3 though aren't they?

It's not an option but I prefer pc's. Can't beat using a mouse. PLus first-person shooters are my favourite and a mouse/keyboard combo is so much better than a controller. I prefer driving games on consoles though. The last one I bought was an original playstation, so I'd say that was my...

Well I got a text from BT, my line is now up and running. Although I don't actually have a phone to use it yet! I'm going to order broadband with that hub and phone so I won't know till I get it! I can't order the broadband for another day though as it takes 48 hours for the system to update...

The new command& conquer uses the same engine as generals I believe so I would imagine it should run on your laptop. I have a cheapo entry level one and I completed it using my laptop, I just had everything set to minimum.

Rang the special number I was given. Still managed to spend time on hold before getting through but only about 5 mins fortunately. They knew what they were doing too. Took about 5 mins and I'm hoping my phoneline might even be working at some point today. No re-activation/connection fee...

The good news is that if you bid, youi'll probably get it for the £4800 starting price. It would be cheap to undo the 'damage' done to this car so there's potentially a cheap 172 to be had.

I'm no insurance underwriter but that wouldn't be a write-off IMO.
