Hi all, Just asking for thoughts/suggestions as to what an annoying, repetitive noise might be? It comes from the OSF wheel area - more lower down I'd say. I did have both top mounts and damper covers replaced with OEM items - but the noise occurred before they were fitted, so clearly that...

Not touched this one at all. Annoys me a bit that it appears to be similarly titled to the best BF game of all time - Battlefield 2142. Go back to your roots DICE. It worked brilliantly back then and like a 14th iteration of a film series - I think you maybe missing the plot, these days.

Welcome aboard - a fellow Lancashire resident too. :)

"Schmee" "Schmee" I mean, just even repeat that to yourself. Makes you want to head-smash your own monitor.

Confused. Your profiles says that you joined over a decade ago? Regardless - welcome aboard and/or welcome back! 🙂

I do wonder what the interior of these might smell like too... :sick:

Not too far at all from the 1-series I posted last year that was caked in s**t and all greened-up. The pairing might just only be an old Focus and a Jag, but the itch to just dive in and power wash the damn things is strong. 😉 Just give me an hour….

Borderlands 3 is currently free on Epic Games.

Looking forward to setting up Content Manager again with the new PC bits. :)

If anyone was looking out for something similar to Affinity Photo, it's currently in a 50% off sale, along with its sibling apps. Now at £23.99 each. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/

It definitely is. My 6700k struggled with the 3070Ti pairing and was much 'happier' with the GTX1080 before it.

Touch wood - I must have been one of the lucky ones! I tried it with the current install of Windows 10 and it was fine - then reformatted the PC yesterday to Windows 11 and again, its been performing fine. Latest BIOS applied and I'm actually getting the full speed out of my DDR4 memory now...

Jumped from HMS Intel and went over to the AMD Ryzen camp this week with a CPU and mobo bundle from Scan. My six-year old i7 6700K was definitely an instant bottleneck for my recent 3070Ti purchase and I needed something to even the playing field out somewhat. Made the decision also in not...

Nice! ...... and welcome! :) I'm genuinely surprised that the sun and heat down there hasn't damaged the paint?

A shame he couldn't wangle a nearside headlight at the same time! ;)

I think that's part of the stance most insurers 'hope' that the general public will take. Do you want a lump sum to use towards your brand new or slightly used 2nd hand car - or try and recover your 16+ years old, damaged car? They really will hope that the owners will cave and just accept the...

Servicing and condition is all. Forget mileage to some extent - if anything, I'd be slightly suspicious of a car with very low mileage in thinking that the majority of components would likely to be OEM fit and need replacing in short order. I certainly wouldn't be looking at a lower mileage car...

@Greeny. - did you see the silver Ph.1 V6 in the main car park as well? Looked proper clean - I should have taken a picture of it.

Thankfully - it had pretty much zero damage to the rim. I cleaned the alloy up and there was the smallest chip above where the gash on the tyre was. Glad I risked it - but it could have been a lot worse!

Probably preaching to the converted here, but this is just a heads up of the limits of tyre integrity after damage. My wife caught an object in the road yesterday and it slashed the outer wall of the tyre as seen below. She managed to pullover into a little layby and after calling me, I drove...

All these posts in this thread stating 'not to tell the insurance'. And why? Surely the whole point of having this legally enforced charge put upon us, is that when random s**t like what happened to the OP occurs - we have this pot that we've pissed into for several years (if not decades) to...

Really is interesting to read of small changes to the cars in different countries. I borrowed a set of 15's for mine years ago and I actually preferred how it handled with them on - though admittedly it didn't look as good! Welcome aboard to CS :)

Not sure if people have had the USB header issue before now - but more and more devices are using one on the mobo, like fan controllers, AIO pumps, USB case ports etc - and often the mobo itself supports only one, maybe two connections at most. I had the issue this week where I needed three USB...

Decent price currently for a Samsung 980 (unfortunately not the Pro version) - if anyone was after a 1TB NVMe drive? https://www.scan.co.uk/products/1tb-samsung-980-m2-2280-pcie-30-x4-nvme-ssd-mlc-v-nand-3500mb-s-read-3000mb-s-write-480k-500k-iops

Welcome aboard! Hope you find a decent RB 182 soon. (y)

Is the noise definitely coming from the front? Could be the nearside rear wheel bearing? And welcome, btw! :)

No.2 Special Edition is currently free on Amazon Games...

Was thinking the same - hopefully the OP can get something sorted 'relatively' cheaply.

Managed to nab a 3070Ti from Scan this week having had a part alert popping up on Telegram. Not quite the 3080 that I was originally after, more so that this 'only' comes with 8GB onboard - but it's close enough. Came in at £560 including delivery. Takes up much less chassis space than my...

I can still remember the wow factor that came out with the original release of Monkey Island. Likewise with Day of The Tentacle. Not quite sure that the humour has stood the test of time and its definitely full of 'Americanisms' - but they are still great games. Would really like a revamp/new...
