    Forza Horizon 5

    Lol - somehow I managed to get a 2:1 at uni and spent too much time on the PC back then. Simpler times!

    ClioSport 182 EML flashing issue

    The symptoms I had above were the same when it turned out to be the upstream oxygen sensor that had packed in. Occasional EML - no obvious issues with performance, stunk of fuel and tailpipes that looked like a VAG diesel test. Got it swapped and all was good.

    Power Tool Perverts

    Never really consider power tools being any different between the brands - but how wrong was I? Had a bobby-basic Draper drill/screwdriver that has been great with flat-pack stuff, but not much else. Did a bit of DIY work last week that including drilling into walls and borrowed a Milwaukee set...

    27" 240hz Monitor

    Would genuinely be interested in seeing the difference between the 144hz monitor I have and a 240hz unit. The step up from 60hz to 144hz is really noticeable - but I wonder if beyond that, it's a rate of diminishing returns?

    Welcome aboard! Any pics of the Trophy?

    PA04 NBZ Blackburn area today

    If I'm not wrong, that appears to be an OEM backbox as well. Surely every single one of those has crumbled to dust by now?? :P

    Battlefield 1

    I reinstalled BF1 on a whim, purely to have another dabble at the excellent campaign mode, which I found much more enjoyable than that of BFV. Seems strange that my PC takes a massive performance hit if I set it to run in DX12 and not DX11. Literally unplayable.

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Wasn't long - approx a week/10 days I think?

    Hi...Here's my New Clio V6

    That must be a great feeling to have - knowing that nowhere out on the roads in your country would you come across the same car as yours.

    Damm Dammm & bu@@er need new quarter glass

    Seems like 2021 is the year for Clio parts going NLA?! Glad to hear that you got the more important of the two bits of glass sorted though.

    No drive in clio 182

    Sounds similar to when my driveshaft went. Does it grind horribly when in gear and you start to let the clutch out?

    Trouble in the mk2 Clio gear box oil

    @Alex1.2mk2 - I hate to say it, but if the gearbox oil has been changed and it was crappy before - it should feel significantly improved now. Not the other way around... Sounds like your box of cogs might be churning completely the wrong fluid.

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    OnScreenDisplay twitch for badly worded forum posts.... :LOL:

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    My inner OSD twitch agrees with you whole-heartedly on that. @Cub. @Daniel - could one of you fine gents change the title please?

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    This simply wins the thread. Respect for that and something I'd probably consider if I had a garage!

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    Kranzle does indeed seem a very good one - but christ, they are expensive! I get the viewpoint though - it's like people thinking a £300 desktop can prove worthwhile where I'd be suggesting £1,200+ at least. I think I'll give Karcher a wide-birth - my father-in-law has had issues with his in...

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    Thanks for the input all - as for the budget, I wouldn’t particularly want to be going silly - maybe £200-£250 or so?

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    Do those require a 2nd mortgage? :P

    Pressure washer recommendations?

    Hi all, With the imminent fitment of an external tap and power socket to our house - I was after suggestions of a general purpose jet washer please? It would be used 90% of the time for washing the cars, but also the occasional path/driveway sweep-over. Is it just Karcher all-day every day...

    6000073748 Offside Front Arch Liner - Front Portion

    How many people will have ripped these pieces off and binned them in the past coz trackcarz? Won't be long before they start hitting the heady heights of Clio V6 undertray pricing. Meanwhile the local Dieppe farmer, Pierre Le Champignon bought the job lot of injection molds from Renault at 300...

    Back 4 Blood

    With 300+ hours logged between L4D and L4D2 - I have got my hopes up for this. I had read some middle-of-the-road reviews about it and that some people mentioned that it was 'lacking' something. As @Greeny. says - I'll probably nab it when its cheaper and/or DLCs have been released. The current...

    Info please

    If it's purely going to be used on track - the next thing after tyres that would be worth investing in would be some decent brakes up front. Standard kit can fade quite quickly - but potentially you'll be on the slippery spending slope of better brake fluid/cooling, braided brake lines, etc...

    Civilization VI

    Anybody play this? Not exactly new, in fact I believe it's five years old now - but just intrigued if anyone is active on it. Having owned and played each of the series up to this date - it's great that No.6 is easily the best of the bunch. So much depth, yet very easy to pickup and play. The...

    Hell let Loose

    Lol yep. They'll be sat at their PCs with private and sergeant badges on, not quite being able to see the screen through a fog generator on their desk and burning incense sticks that smell exactly like lit gunpowder. "DON'T DARE QUESTION ME, PRIVATE!"

    Hell let Loose

    I thought that was one of the best but also worst features of the game - literally being dumped in it with no idea what to do. I also find it surprising that some reviewers have commented on the audio as being lacking. It was by far and away one of its best features, for me. I could tell the...

    Two decades since the launch of GTA3? s**t - I remember playing the first GTA on release. :P

    Technically not free, but at 59p - pretty much as good as. Really good game too.

    Rimworld

    Well, that went south very quickly. Formed my first caravan to go and rescue someone and one of the trio didn't even make it to the edge of the map before contracting hypothermia. Wuss. "Needs a doctor" We haven't got one.

    Rimworld

    Are the two official DLCs worth it? I've added them to my wishlist so that I don't forget about them. I'd probably pick the Ideology one more than the Royalty one.
