    about to pull all my hair out! TV/PC problem

    HTPC is putting out 1920x1080 @ 70hz, as it always has for the last 6 months on this TV, however ive tried lowering it to no effect. i genuinely cant understand it, im going to unplug everything leave it overnight then attack it with a fresh head! cheers for the ideas so far

    about to pull all my hair out! TV/PC problem

    thought id post this up see if anyone has any ideas, im leaning towards calling LG to get an engineer out but see what you guys think..... Ive got a 42" LG LED LCD tv, with an HTPC connected to it along with a blue ray player and X360 (all 3 devices are connected via HDMI) the HTPC suddenly...

    So called "Replica" with "sport" engine... pfffft.

    thats 100% a K4M, its running the 1.6 engine cover due to the way it runs in line with the left hand engine mount. the 1.6 engine cover doesnt fit over the 2.0 inlet manifold and i dont think the inlet manifolds will be interchangeable it could possibly (if possible) be a 2.0 bottom end running...

    Anyone Got a phase 2 dci 65bhp?

    ive had a few dci clios they are good cars will do mega mpg, we drove from scotland to wales for the WRC and my mpg was in the 90's for most of it lol!!! DCi 80 does the best mpg out of the 3 mk2 versions. diesels dont like driving about town all day with an average speed of about 10mph...

    ESP

    no its ESP, it gives you a row for getting the car sideways. i had it grab at a back brake when it lifted a rear wheel over the crest of a hill coming round a long sweeping right hander at about 140mph! (i blame my mate for wanting to stop for a piss brake 2 minutes previous and i forgot to...

    ESP

    yes esp is always on after each restart and then you press the button at your right knee to deactivate it (which brings the light up on the dash)

    ESP

    no that would be ESP, thats all the clio has, it limits wheelspin off the line too

    ESP

    ive always found abs very good on the clio RS, yes it does come in a bit earlier than it could at times but with minimal issues, on a non RS it cuts braking force for a bit too long and can un settle the car, where on an RS its just a quick ease of braking force and back on

    Unusual noises and brake issues.

    brakes should be pretty sharp on them, there is a bit of pedal travel first but nothing massive

    Gutted ! My RS 182 has a non sport steering wheel ! How gay ?!

    id go down the 197/200 wheel route as the standard 172/182/dynamique wheels are huge, if i wanted a massive wheel id rather have the dynamique one that didnt melt anyway! well does still melt but doesnt have thumb grips to burst!

    Anyone Got a phase 2 dci 65bhp?

    yeah not sure how their instructors can be making much profit once they pay there share to bill plant! your best bet is just to build the reputation, get an advert at the local high school, i see quite a bit poping up on facebook but not something we have tried yet, a few about here are running...

    Anyone Got a phase 2 dci 65bhp?

    ah right, one of my ex mrs had a 1.6 16v wich is a very similar engine and it was terrible on fuel compaired to the 1.2 16v. no mate, family run a business, was always going to join it when i turned 21 originally but didnt bother as id imagine its much the same where you are now, getting over...

    Anyone Got a phase 2 dci 65bhp?

    we are the same everyones using diesels around here, we were mk2 clios, mk3 clios then swapped over to twingos, pile 40k a year on them then chop them at 3yrs old around 120k , they get serviced every 18k and that is all they ever need other than tyres and brakes. uber cheap to run! i assume a...

    Clean install with SSD

    as above windows setup will recognise it as a normal hard drive, nothing changes format as normal etc, its worth installing from a fast usb stick to see just how quick your SSD is at installing an OS, i think from the bios screen when i first turn on, to installing windows and then getting to...

    Anyone Got a phase 2 dci 65bhp?

    false economy for a driving school car, 1.2 16v, bullet proof, will do 140k without needing anything other than a service, do 40mpg+ all day long and much better for learning in, diesels scare the s**t out of learners when they start running away from you at low RPM, then when the pupil finally...

    Is Windows 8 utter crap?

    ive got it installed on one of my laptops to try and get used to it as i know in the future im going to have to when they start trying to push you away from it as they did with Win XP with no new versions of IE etc. but i just cannot get on with it. and i cant see the company i work for...

    My day with Clio 4

    popped in for a look round one of these today out of curiosity, looks twice as good in the flesh as it does in pics, it doesnt seem to photograph very well! the low bonnet line and big smooth front bumper looks brilliant, massive badge doesnt look to bad either.

    clio 182 heaters climate control

    are u using the auto feature? its been a while since i used a clio 2 but from memory if you set it to min auto it will just try to cool it to as low as it can, but set it to 16 auto then it will blow as hot air as it possibly can until the car reaches 16 degrees then it will keep the air at the...

    182 manifold...

    i fitted mine with the ktec decat link pipe on a car that already had matched inlets, k-tec stealth, itg filter and it made a massive difference, mid range pull was awesome, i recon if i had got it remapped it would have gained more, it ran 188bhp after the mods and 173bhp standard bar the ITG...
