    OEM 182 seat refurb?

    Lol - to be honest guys - I didn't even think of that! :blush: @JB21 - I'll definitely take you up on that offer m8 - you're only a few miles away from me.

    OEM 182 seat refurb?

    Is it something that anyone has tried before? After 12 years of my arse getting in and out of the car, the side bolster is definitely past its best. Just curious if its been done before and if the results were worth it? Cheers, D.

    Anybody here into non-realtime graphics rendering?

    Impressive, if slightly long at nearly 7 minutes...

    New guy with his 138 Dyna S

    Having a 2.0litre is a decent step-up after just a year of driving. Well done!

    A bit despondent

    If the bubbling has started to eat into the metal - it would probably be cheaper just buying a new replacement bonnet. They are all the same on the Mk2 Clios and I think mine was circa £60 unpainted when I got mine redone. Followed by a full front-end respray. ;)

    182 Cup suspension refresh

    <---- Should go for Sportlines instead. They are an extra 10mm over the Prolines, iirc?

    Beautiful Blue 197 BP Garage Heywood

    I was always worried for my car when I lived in Heywood. Nothing actually happened to it while I was there though!

    Winning m8! You're one of the few people I know who would actually use the beefy bandwidth of the X99 setup!

    Backed it with some funding. Just got to wait until Q4 2019 now.... :smile:

    Clio Mk2 front wiper mechanism - a head's up

    I thought it worth mentioning as I've fixed the small issue on with my front wipers today. Although there's the obvious three bolts holding the mechanism in place, there is also a metal spindle at the rear of the bulkhead that helps locate the whole assembly in place before putting the bolts...

    182 Alarm constantly going off

    It's not an Arctic Blue ending in the reg HNF, is it? That was my ex-wive's car and even Renault never sorted or fixed the alarm-in-the-middle-of-the-night issue. That said, they took three attempts at replacing my alternator - and still picked the incorrect one! Hope you get it sorted. I...

    BG 182 55 reg

    One thing I'd suggest of you're doing your own servicing is to drop and replace the gearbox oil. I sound like a broken record on here about changing it, but it transformed the feel and accuracy of selecting gears for me.

    BG 182 55 reg

    Lol - I think mine broke in exactly the same spot about three years after I had it. To be honest, I'm amazed it lasted that long - wafer-thin metal, retained in place while the rest of the engine attached to it has the ability to flex and move on the mounts. I just clamped the broken bit...

    Battlefield 1

    Eh? Progression and ranks are at the core of every FPS worthy or note - they have been for a long time. I'm not against them in anyway - its the way they go about them that is the issue. As @-Craigo says - they probably speed-up the progression purely for the sake of the beta.

    Wiper arm

    You'll definitely need a puller - I've never managed the passenger side without one. Even then, it usually comes off with a 'CLANG!' - lol.

    Battlefield 1

    Unfortunately, I doubt it will ever return the older method of player progression. It's as though the devs and publishers think gamers need spoon-feeding rank increases and/or perks by simply firing a shot. It all becomes meaningless. I start the game as a total rookie, yet can achieve 7 ranks...

    BMW 440i Gtechniq Exo - New Car Detail

    Great effort - though being that colour, I bet the wow effects don't last long! Not looked into the specs of the 440i. Are they the spiritual successor to the 335i?

    Wiper arm

    The passenger side arm is an fecker to get off - the two central mountings are always easy in comparison. I've found in the past that having the arm raised first, alters the tension on the bolt and can sometimes make it easier to remove.

    How to activate Office on new laptop

    Its pretty popular here - especially when you can get the latest Visio and Project versions at £9.95 each as well. Mainly older staff that buy it when their kids are at college or uni. Not actually looked at Libre myself. Might have a dabble - more so with OpenOffice falling by the way side.

    How to activate Office on new laptop

    The other option is to check if your workplace has signed up to the Microsoft Home Use Program (HUP). http://www.microsofthup.com/hupuk/home.aspx?country_id=GB If they do, you can buy the fully legit version of Office 2016 Professional Plus for £9.95. A fraction of the cost that it appears in...

    RS Monaco Clio surprise (Renault Clio R.S.16)

    Make something special enough and people will buy it. However, the term 'special' is open to interpretation and is purely in the eye of the purchaser. I like quirkiness. I like random changes to a car - simply because some design team/engineer thought that it was a good idea to do so. The Clio...

    Portable Speaker for Holiday

    From a personal taste viewpoint, it pisses me off when someone the other side of the pool or two floors up on the balcony decides to pollute the surrounding area with their choice of tunes. Granted, your musical tastes might be awesome, but you shouldn't enforce that onto other people nearby -...

    New member - Searching for a 182 FF or 172 Cup

    Too right. 41 here and I ordered my 182 when I was 29! Cracking cars for the money - find a good one and it will put a smile on your face.

    Laptop advice, heavy processing.

    As Andy says, a Quadro card would be a good shout. Though failing that, an i7 would be a must for your requirements.

    New Laptop Advice

    Are your CNC programs CPU/memory intensive in anyway? Also, how do you connect to the CNC devices from the laptop? Are they USB or via serial? We've got one particular CNC machine at work that is a right PITA as it relies solely on NetBIOS for connection. Literally steam powered, it's that old...
