    Handbrake lever goes snap...

    Just pulled up now and applied the handbrake and.... snap. Up came the lever with a bit of tension applied to the rear wheels. From the picture, it's not that easy to see where the the linkage has snapped. Is it easy enough to replace the whole ratchet and lever assembly? Or a proper...

    £150k for a Vauxhall Cavalier?

    I could be tempted..... ;) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1995-BTCC-British-Touring-Car-Championship-winning-Vauxhall-Cavalier-Cleland-4-/291749677963?hash=item43eda2cb8b:g:iq4AAOSwiYFXIOZD Not quite sure how you'd go about servicing it though?

    [PC] Forza Motorsport 6

    Windows 10 & DX12 loveliness beckons.... Anyone had a look on the Windows Store to see if the Beta is available for download yet? Might be a time delay being American? http://www.forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/FM6_Apex_Announce

    Cutting edge...... circa 1984

    Jesus. Were things that bad, some 30 years ago? Then again, I was stuck on the Atari 2600 at the time. It also appears that some village has lost both of its rapists too...

    Rapid 'clicking' from steering?

    Chaps, I've definitely noticed it more now with it being colder - but the car makes a rapid clicking noise when pulling out of a junction. It does this when turning either left or right, but I'd arguably say it was a bit louder when pulling out to the right. It stops when the wheels go...

    '05 RB182 in Darwen this morning

    Parked just a bit further on than Lidl.

    1988 Pug 205 rally spec...

    Very nice. I think I'd cry actually using it for what it was designed for though! http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/peugeot/205/wonderfully-rare-peugeot-talbot-sport-205-euro-spec-rallye--engine--g-box-rebuild--not-to-be-missed/4735405

    Mad Max

    Quite surprised that this hasn't been mentioned yet? Put about 7 hours into it on the PC. It's very familiar in both look and feel to the Batman series and Shadow of Mordor game - but imo, is significantly better than the latter. The usual fare applies. Following a story mode over a very hefty...

    DX12 performance - a positive start?

    With the recent release of Windows 10, much has been speculated about the potential of DirectX 12 that comes built into it. A lot has been said, but given its early days - not much is out there (yet) in terms of true performance stats and real-world gaming results. One that is out there is the...

    BG with Turinis

    I'm definitely not the first and probably won't be the last to do this - but I managed to get a set of Turinis for the 'ol 182. :blush: Thanks again to Tom (@punk_rallye ) for the sale. Got them fitted on Monday and gave it a quick wash last night. Got a set of black wheel bolts due in the next...

    Overclockers 8Pack Supernova

    Pretty cheap that.... https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-001-8P Not really sure that the components justify the expense, really. And besides - if you could afford that level of kit - surely you'd want to build it yourself? Fair play that such kit exists in the first...

    182 wheel bolts in black?

    Chaps, Have you come across a set of wheel bolts that are in black? Ideally with a matching locking one too? After 11 years, mine are getting tired looking and a bit rusty. Cheers, D.

    New computer desk for work?

    Trying to think of justifications to go for this..... :cool: http://www.lian-li.com/en/dt_portfolio/dk-03/ Looks pretty epic. Not sure how happy the management would be when they saw the bill though!

    Mechanical keyboard appreciation...

    Having used a myriad USB based keyboards over the years - some basic, some very expensive, I 'rescued' an old PS/2-based Dell clunker from the basement at my mum's work and connected it to my office PC. In a nutshell - it's awesome. :smile: Being 24 years old (the manufacturing date of 1991 is...

    Warm bonnet machine polishing? Over-cautious or genuine question?

    Chaps, I'm helping out a m8 who's bonnet has football scuff on it from kids playing near his car. He's about a 25 minute drive from me, but could I just make a start on the car straight away, when he gets to mine? Ironically, I removed three surface scratches from his passenger door about two...

    Headlight restoration - finally got there!

    Well, after my thread a short while back..... http://www.cliosport.net/threads/headlight-restoration-kits-do-they-work.774357/ I decided to have another go last weekend. The fundamental issue I had previously was with the 3M kit itself. The circular attachment fitted to a drill, which is then...

    Driver's side xenon - what to check?

    I park in an underground spot where the auto lights kick in on arrival. On Friday night, I noticed it looked a bit dark from the drivers seat. I got out and saw that only the passenger side xenon headlight was on. I did the silly, obvious thing of tapping the headlight unit a bit, but the...

    Rally of Portugal 2015 - support run

    So, the opportunity came along to support my nephew in his first 'official' rally event, alongside the more established WRC event and drivers. The plan involved a run down to pickup the recce car near Oxford on the 15th May - get it on the trailer, and then continue down to Portsmouth for the...

    Headlight restoration kits - do they work?

    Well, I've had my 2nd attempt using the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit and I must admit that the results have left me underwhelmed. I think it doesn't help with the difficulty of using the kit with the headlights in-situ. The drill is constantly being fought against - forever wanting to drag a...

    Anyone handy with Visio? I've got a simple question...

    Pretty much new to it - just dabbled with a few basic flow charts. I can't seem to be able to edit the Title header when I insert a Border & Title. It must be a really straight-forward fix - but I can't see it and Google hasn't been much help! Cheers, D.

    Trophy - Abbey Village today

    Went past us at the Hare & Hounds pub - heading towards Belmont, about 4.30pm this afternoon. Noticed a CS sticker in the rear window too.

    Very clean '04 BG182 - Premier Inn, Rayleigh, Basildon

    Brake issue on the way home tonight....

    Chaps, Set off home tonight and all was fine. Got about half a mile from work and went to cover my brakes into a left turn. The pedal went pretty much to the floor and I had that instant reaction to start slowing down with the aid of the handbrake. Pressing it harder, the brake (and I mean...

    Gaming industry - an interesting breakdown...

    http://hexus.net/gaming/news/industry/81424-gaming-hardware-market-worth-67-billion-2014-pcs-dominate/ Handhelds are such a dinosaur these days. A shame too. I'd much rather game on the go with a handheld than use the limited functionality of a smartphone.

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    This is worth a look chaps - if you haven't had the chance already. It's a 3rd-person hack & shoot fest based in space (and presumably) - the future. http://store.steampowered.com/app/230410/ The default video is a little weird to show. The majority of the action is on the ground - not in...
