    PS3 recommendations?

    Nabbed Heavy Rain off eBay for around £7. Looking forward to giving that a try. Also started to download Uncharted 3 via the PlayStation Store. Only went for the initial £5.49 month membership, so I've got literally 4 weeks to play it - lol. D.

    BMW 335d X drive M Sport

    Nice purchase! Kinda preferred the twin pipes of the previous model - but hey-ho. Those lights are a great piece of engineering. D.

    The Clio's replacement- Evo VIII MR FQ340

    Epic purchase! Even if it does get a bit too much - you've ticked a Bucket List option for many people! It's the mid-range ability that appeals to me the most - overtaking on A-roads, going down a motorway slip-road and of course, being able to carry more speed through corners that you would...

    PC Local Co-op Games

    I suspect that there aren't that many unfortunately. The very nature of the PC platform is that you're up close to the screen, rather than reclining on the sofa, staring at a large flatscreen. Even the likes of Diablo 3 aren't as good on the PC as they are on the 360, imo. The PC version...

    PS3 recommendations?

    Cheers all! There are quite a few mentioned there that I have on PC - Tomb Raider and Bioshock Infinite are two that I've noticed. I've got Dead Space (various ones) too. I'm definitely taken by TLOU and and really liked one of the GoW games on the PSP - so I'll keep an eye out for them. :) Any...

    My Renault History from 1989 to present day.

    I can barely remember just how nippy those R5 GTT's were back in their early days! I passed my test in early '92 - so you're a few years on from me. Still, good to look back and reminisce, eh? :) D.

    PS3 recommendations?

    Chaps, Kinda late to the PS3 - but couldn't refuse when one came up cheap! I'm after a few suggestions - in particular exclusives to the platform that AREN'T fps games. I've more chance of controlling fps games with my todger on a pad compared to the winning input of keyboard and mouse. I've...

    Battlefield 4

    I deplore auto shotguns in games like this! Even back in the days of BF2, the unlocked DAO for the engineer was always changed to the MP7 for me. Granted, you get nailed from anything over 50ft away, but in close proximity maps, the auto-shottys are just too over-powered. Do you even really...

    Second Hand PC

    Depends on how much you like your sister! You could be cheeky and offer her the £250 - but certainly no more than £300 all in. The specs are ok, but its pretty much what it is, with extremely limited expansion possibilities mainly due to the uATX motherboard. Use it for what it was designed...

    How many hours of his life have gone on that?! D.

    MS Outlook Proile and .PST Issue

    Definitely no permission issues there? I've just tried that on mine and it works fine? D.

    BT Broadband - any reason not to?

    We signed up for BT Broadband when we moved into the apartment right at the end of December. Got it installed towards the end of January - basic unlimited ADSL, though FTTC is apparently here in the next month or two. Got to admit, aside from Mrs. BT Callcentre giving me the completely wrong...

    PLEASE HELP before i just sell it!

    The layout of the engine is a natural water trap. If the previous owner(s) of your car either steam-cleaned or washed the engine regularly, then water can easily collect in the pots where the spark plugs go. It's not beyond the laws of possibility that water could get into one of them. I know...

    Poor engines!

    Jesus. That's chomped itself good and proper :eek: D.

    Poor engines!

    Iirc, wasn't that 1.3 engine a Honda sourced/co-built unit? Probably the only reason why it survived! :) D.

    Poor engines!

    I'm sure some of the garage guys on here have seen worse, but even so, some of these are baaaaad. :dapprove: http://www.epicinter.net/some-people-dont-deserve-automobiles/ D.

    new shocks 182?

    Wise words. Slacken both of them while still in situ. If you remove the bottom bolt fully, there's a good chance that in trying to undo the top one, the damper simply spins around. The top nuts on mine were really quite tight indeed. I needed the length of a long-arm with the rear seats down to...

    new shocks 182?

    Here you go m8.... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?342259-Changing-Rear-Dampers-(172) No difference in technique in swapping them out on a 172 or 182 :) Cheers, D.

    new shocks 182?

    Not a definitive indicator, but does your car have the anthracite 182 alloys on it? Or are they standard silver colour? Anthracite will be the Cup suspension, unless they have been swapped over previously. Renault Wolverhampton should be able to confirm from your chassis number, I would have...

    Gran Turismo 6

    Picked this up at the weekend after nabbing myself a PS3 on the cheap. Literally only installed the 4.55 system software, my PSN username (Minus-Xero - if anyone was interested?) and this. Noticed the hefty patches - 1.2GB, 276MB+ files that needed downloading first, but I always look on patches...
