It's funny how we take to things in a different way. I'm the opposite and have a personal iPhone with a works Android phone. I've tried to make my Android phone a bit more iPhone like and simply given up. The interpreted beauty of Android is that it's anything to anyone. They can customise it...

Thanks for that - it's something that I want to do. Not fussed about colour-matching as they are scratched/caught with people's nails, rings etc - just something to make them look better than what they do already.

This looks epic! (y) If it was in dog form, it would be a hyper-angry, snapping French bulldog with a bucketload of attitude!

Hi all, Just after some advice and suggestions regarding the interior door handles on the 182. We all know about the crappy rubberised, sticky coating that comes on them and I was just after removing them and spraying them matt black. Is there a best-practice to this? Removing the remnants of...

It was a badly seated valve I believe?

I'll PM you ;)

Such an epic place to drive - the further north you go, the less traffic and great roads that you seem to get. Loved the drive up to Cape Wrath and the loop back down. I think this was my favourite pic that I took on the trip - just summed up the openness and fun of the roads up there. NEED...

Ah! Thanks for explaining that. I've been telling people it was a different 5th - lol. 😆😊

Have you seen the new Ineos Grenadier, Chris? Looks much nicer than the 'proper' new Defender in my eyes. https://www.pistonheads.com/news/ph-britishcars/ineos-grenadier-officially-unveiled/42677

Cannot go wrong with old Porsches for coolness ratings. I'd love one. :cool:

Lovely. Like a greener looking acid yellow from the V6.

I haven't got exact numbers through driving at the time, but it's a several hundred RPM drop off the standard 182 fifth gear - according to the dial. Mark @NorthloopCup might have some more accurate numbers to hand? I think it would be worth having it done with anyone's gearbox in bits and if...

Nice - result with that paint issue on the roof too!

They don't actually specify an amount to pay - just anything really. It just got me a little wary when a payment for a place in Moscow came up. Probably legit, but I'll try the free Lite one for now.

Do you use the Content Manager Lite or have you got the full version?

Will have a dabble of those myself I reckon!

I get that - but £35 each? And I bet you'll get a postage fee added on top for something that weights what, 20 grams? There's a time and place to extract a bit of premium on a popular product. I bought one of the carbon fibre front splitters from KTEC myself in the past that I didn't think...

£70 for a pair of plastic arch clips?? :LOL:

@HardcoreJunglist - if your brakes are that bad - it might be worth looking into a refurb and into the brake lines themselves? Your car is now 15 years old and been subjected to all the crap that the road has to chuck up. My brakes were woeful - though the actual discs and pads were fine. I had...

I went straight to Pro settings and it's not that scary a place to be! I've since changed a couple of things, but not much to be seen in the Custom settings. Just watched a few replay sections that I have saved. I still can't get over how bloody good the audio is in this game. Have you...

I’ve got a G920 and have played about with the settings slightly in AC. It felt a little too slow for me personally and I increased the sensitivity a little. I don’t know what they’ve done with ACC though. I’ve fired that up from a fresh install and it suits me perfectly. I literally remap a...

Welcome aboard!

It might actually be worth checking what your iCloud backup is being consumed with as well? It could be downloaded music or a film from ages ago, or other backups that you no longer need?

Me neither - and it's one of the biggest silly 'arrogances' of Apple to charge extra for more space. However - it's 79p per month to increase the storage capacity ten-times over standard. When it comes to having that large capacity over the potential of losing pictures or files that I haven't...

What's your storage quota with iCloud at the minute? Are you on the default limit?

I mentioned and pointed out the tail-pipes to Alex when I was there! Usually horrible, crap-covered things and frustratingly awkward to clean - that now looked super-shiny! I can’t promise how long they will stay like that, but again, little things that all add up in making the car look a lot...

Finally, ‘Collection Day’ arrived – just one day short of the car having been away for three months. I caught the train down to Stansted Airport and arranged with Alex to bob over and meet me in my own car. I heard it before I saw it – walking over from the meet & greet at the airport...

Whilst removing my headlights and swapping parts over, Alex had noticed that part of my driver’s side unit had appeared to have melted at some point in the past. It still worked, but that’s never a good sign! My air-con rad was shot, along with a fair bit of the accompanying pipework. Those...

New bearings in the hubs – I honestly can’t recall if I’d ever had the originals replaced? Alex agreed that the brakes were shocking. Not the pads and discs themselves – but the lack of any direct force applied to them. Quite frankly, it was dangerous – the handbrake creaked and groaned...

My first project thread on here and one that’s a bit of a stretch to call it ‘my project’ as I did little more than agree to things being done! Anyways, a bit of back-story first… Back in November 2018, I created the thread below and kind of sat on it for a while...
