    wanna strip it..

    Why ? Lets call the rear bench 20kg .. iso 10 .. spare wheel/tyre/jack is about 25 .. belts 2 each .. carpet and board 3 .. front seats > buckets + subframes saves about 30 kg or more .. that's nearly 100kg already without trying. I weigh 65KG.... 30 mins work to take out the equivilent of...

    Have you been into Jessops and had a play ? Once you're done .. and assuming you've not been thrown out :o .. try a few cameras out that are in your price range.

    Droning noise

    Droning normally means wheel bearing. Unless they've got a few miles left in them you wont notice any cornering difference. Jack a corner up, grab the back of the tyre (put gloves on!) and wiggle the wheel violently .. if there's any play, it's probably bearings. Failing that, take it to a...

    iTunes Library file cannot be saved

    I know it doesn't save TO the RAM ;) It was probably Windows having a power trip screaming "iTunes? I'm an iMaaaaac....!!! Oh wait no I'm not, I'm having a stroke... bleruuuughhhhhzzzzzz" Who knows. Either way .. it's not doing it now !

    iTunes Library file cannot be saved

    Surely that doesn't save to RAM ? I presume it's referring to hard drive space ? Have you tried turning it off and on again ? /The IT Crowd.

    alarm randomly goes off

    It'll tell you in the book, depending on number of beeps, or flashes on the LED or something, what the cause is. Could be faulty door sensor, or interior sensor, or battery dying...

    Easiest way to get a Headunit to turn on and off with the ignition

    The wires directly joined to the HU or it's mini-loom .. there's a yellow one and a red one .. bullet connectors .. unplug them both and swap them over .. see what happens.

    quite upset......

    There will be a powerloss with AC on, as the clutch for the compressor will be engaged, meaning the engine has something else to rotate. It shouldn't absorb much power really. ~7hp on a >150hp car isn't going to mean you're holding up milkfloats now, surely ? My car feels quicker since...

    quite upset......

    AC does warm too, yerno ? ;)

    Lowest profile tyre?

    Clios don't handle well on 17s .. 18s are going to be comedy gold. 18s are too big on my Subaru Wagon.... :dead: *Awaits pics*

    Lack of Colour in Photos/White

    Canon actually charge you £1 every time you use AUTO mode after the first week. It's more if you're abroad too IIRC. Go back and try again ;) Also, post some examples and we'll be able to point and laugh at your mistakes much easier than guessing what went wrong. :D
