    Brake pad deposits - DS2500

    What they said. Ds2500 likes relatively hard, short brake applications otherwise they do leave deposits. Easy enough to clean up, just give them death a few times.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    Ahhh fax machines. Not as clumsy or random as an email. An elegant means of communication for a more civilised age.

    Upgrade old PC to Windows 11

    I'm moving away from Windows. I've been piloting using Linux on a mini-PC I bought a while back and I can't fault it. I might miss out on a few AAA games, but with the Steam Deck out there compatibility is gettting surprisingly good now. Think I'll buy a new SSD, keep the old Windows one to one...

    Amazon eero 6+ mesh Wi-Fi 6 router system

    If it’s just for one room and you don’t want to replace everything I’d have a look at powerline wifi extenders

    Chromebooks etc

    There are really crap ones and quite decent ones, if she's already using Google stuff then it will all integrate together nicely, can't see any reason not to go for it personally. I've no idea what's good or good value at the moment, haven't looked at them for years, so I'd say seek out some...

    Clio 182 RB

    I haven’t got my glasses on, and read that as “remove boobies from seats” First question was why remove them. Second question was where can I get seats with boobies on them. Third thought was what the actual frig am I on about. Engine rebuild price does seem spicy at first glance but then...

    The New Phone Thread

    Great for those who use the extra screen size but a niche market and they’re still fragile. Rumour is that Apple will do something in that space next time round if they can get the tech physically robust enough.

    ChatGPT (AI)

    It’s an incredibly powerful tool to streamline things in the right circumstances, but if not used appropriately it does turn people into morons. We have already started to have real problems recruiting graduates who can do stuff without it, take the crutch away and they are nowhere. That’s a...

    Project Binky - mini 4x4 turbo celica engine

    I’m pretty sure they were taking the piss, but yeah I get what you’re saying. I generally quite enjoy their content and it doesn’t bother me even if they only drop one video a year, but appreciate other people find that frustrating.

    Project Binky - mini 4x4 turbo celica engine

    Maybe, but it can’t be a shock. How long is it now that they’ve been incredibly slow at releasing new content? Anyone still paying and expecting anything different to what they’re getting hasn’t been paying attention for the last few years 😂

    Project Binky - mini 4x4 turbo celica engine

    They can’t win, people constantly ask what’s been going on with it, they say what’s been going on with it (not much), people aren’t happy with the update. Ancient fibreglass and ply board bus in “completely rotten” shock 😂

    b****cks 😂 Oh well, impatience and bored eBay surfing buggers me up yet again.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    I’m such a f**king nerd 😂 New-to-me server in the garage. 32 core/64 thread, 9.6Tb of spinning rust, a slightly mean 64Gb of memory but tons of room to expand that. Virtualisation heaven with no-one to piss me off about spending money on hosting costs. £150 from eBay. I’m unreasonably...

    K20 powered 172

    Nooooooo…. I always thought this was the perfect concept, best hot hatch chassis of it’s generation with the best hot hatch engine from the same time period. What’s happened? I guess selling it complete makes no sense vs parting it out?

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    An A290 GTS just popped up on the company SS scheme in the in-stock section for £400 a month, no deposit, maintenance and insurance included. Anyone with Tusker who wants one move quick, they only have one.

    Thumping noise and everyone sayinh car is fine

    Credit where credit’s due, joining a Clio forum to ask about a Corsa is excellent lateral thinking 😉

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I was honestly surprised they were still going, I stopped using them at all after they were almost constantly uncompetitive with Scan and OCUK. Then Amazon pushed into the market for the more general PC components and that was that.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    The sales team did a s**t job in Q1 and my company missed its targets, so they’ve frozen recruitment to save money. All recruitment, including backfill. We are three heads down at the moment, all needing to be backfilled, and we are blocked until at least Q3. Workload is high and I’m back on...

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    Yeah my conclusion from a few hours of searching is that it’s dire out there. There are some jobs but the salaries are laughable, public sector ones are the funniest. I quite fancy training as a HGV driver, might do that.

    The 'I work in I.T' thread

    What’s people’s IT focused job search sites/apps of choice these days? LinkedIn obviously but any other go-to sites?

    Project Binky - mini 4x4 turbo celica engine

    That was actually a decent episode too. Of course they’re going to finish on episode 42, being the middle aged pop culture geeks that they are 😂

    Sky Cancellation

    I had a look at that. They’re currently doing a six month offer at £26 a month for sky sports, after which it goes back to £35 a month. It gets better though. That is to stream in 720p “HD” like it’s 2010. Want full HD? Another £6 a month. 4K? Another £9 a month. So, f**k that. I’m going to do...

    Sky Cancellation

    Yeah they seem to do that fairly regularly. Wish they’d just grow some balls and go fully streaming but hey ho I guess Sky pay them a lot to lock brits out of the service.

    Sky Cancellation

    I have cancelled Sky! After yet more messing around - “we have tried to call you“…. bloody liars - I phoned them again and this time got offered WhatsApp as a contact method. Why you can’t use live chat but can now use WhatsApp, who knows 😂 Anyway, it was genuinely easy to cancel that way. Job...

    I had the Merrells angle covered, there’s nothing like a pair of walking boots for track driving.

    CSF25 ClioSport Festival 2025

    Massive thank you to the organisers, I can’t even imagine how much work goes into something like this. Sorry that I had to leave early, but it was great to meet a few people and the 330 was good fun on track too 👍
