Any particular reason for wanting 6 speed?

I personally would do it at 10k or every 12 months. 2 years is far too long IMO. Cambelt is 6 years or 72k Spark Plugs are 36k (no time limit) Fuel filter is 144k (it's part of the pump) Air filter 2 years or 24k Coolant & brake fluid is 4 years or 72k

Leave well alone, or at least make them apply for a replacement V5 from the DVLA before going ahead with a purchase. It only takes a week or so to receive it.

^^ this, conneh speaks sense! 250gb £27.99 http://www.ebuyer.com/237690-intenso-250gb-memory-station-portable-hard-drive-6002500 500gb £38.99 http://www.ebuyer.com/320101-hitachi-500gb-touro-mobile-portable-hard-drive-0s03455

Ebuyer have some 64gb for £20 ish

My wifes is a nice car, I wanted her to buy and FR (it has a nicer interior and better options on the wheels) but she didn't like the red stitching on the steering wheel. It's cheap to run, cheap to tax, well specced for a standard car (A/C, CD, MP3, electric mirrors, windows etc etc)

How about something like this Seat Ibiza? little 1.2 turbo, simple remap gives about 125-130 bhp. My missus has the same engine (but with the DSG auto 'box). It will average 40+ mpg all day long and actually goes quite well...

Seems a lot to spend on a laptop for schoolwork. The average £300 laptop would be more than capable of dealing with day to day usage!

Jailbroken ATV2 i'm asuming? I've got XBMC running on my Ipad, but i'm yet to try mirroring it to my ATV3.

I'll give it a try later, thanks for the info. Chris

Both have the auto function on my 197, up and down, drivers and passengers (and from the passenger switch also) I think you have something wrong, might be time for a new switch. If it's in warrenty take it back.

Sorry I worded my post wrong. I understand that I would be using the ipad as a controller, but my concerns are that the contecnt will be streamed from my PC to my Ipad, then airplayed to the Apple TV. Doesn't this mean a lot of WiFi bandwidth will be in use?

To be honest I've not tried plex, I quite like the apple interface and being able to use the apple tv without using my iPhone or iPad. Ill give plex a try though, I might be converted. I presume I would AirPlay content from my phone or iPad to the apple tv?

Yes, iTunes on the server pc. Download HD films in MKV format, convert to MP4 using mkvtomp4 converter (takes about 20 mins for a 10gb file. Can keep the subtitles, languages etc. Takes maybe 1 - 1.5 hours to download, extract, convert.

Apple TV 3 for me, server PC set up in the loft with a whole host of movies, tv programs etc, news groups, 120mb broadband and software called 'logmein' (for remote control of the PC through my Ipad, my ipad essentially becomes my PC screen, keyboard and mouse) Job done.

Do you have a vehicle you can tow with? You can hire car trailers relatively cheaply. I did this to pick up a car from Southampton once.

I don't know for definate that they will charge, i'm just guessing. Will call them later today and update my thread.

Hi all, I plan on calling Esure about this later today but though't i'd ask on here to see what people think. Basically, my car is insured in my name with the wife as a named driver. She had a stroke last december and only recently got her licence back. She has a full licence, but has a few...

Don't do that. If you have a bump and the insurance company realise it is your car you won't be covered.

The link above clearly states it is only a fail if they fail to relocate without assistance when lowered back onto the ground. As for the rear brakes, I would WANT my car to fail if the rear brakes weren't doing anything!

I don't have the ones above but I have some similar. They still make a bit of a beam, but it's much better than std.

You need bulbs with multi SMD's so they light all around, rather than a focused beam like a torch. Something like these (if it's 501 fitment like it is on my 197, I don't know though) http://www.ultraleds.co.uk/501-194-t10-anti-bulb-warning-xenon-white-wide-angle-13-leds.html

Let her get on with it, just never ever get in her car again though

It's a very small percentage that actually have issues though, and most are sorted under warranty. My 197 is on 62k and is on the original 'box, and aside from being hard to get into first when cold it's tickety boo. The recaros are known to be a problem too, however a lot of that is down to...

Whilst I agree that the seller has put it in the advert, very few average joe public people would know what this means.

Vehilce Condition Alert Register, I asume its some sort of register of cars that have been written off by insurance companies.

Yep, V car. Sneakily hidden at the end of the ad like it's part of the spec

How much did you pick this up for if you don't mind me asking?

Partially rebadged the rear and cleaned it!

Sorry mate, didn't realise you were on here too!
