    Is you clutch creaky?

    Always gets worse when the weather's hot. In winter I don't think I ever get the creaking noise. Started happening on mine about 30k ish. Had the clutch replaced along with the 84k service and all was silent. Put on 1,200+ miles during the Scotland road-trip and by the time I got back, the...

    Creating a forum

    Easy to setup, but INFURIATING to administer on a day-to-day basis. The phpbb forums come across as being slightly elitist too - "What? You mean you don't know the answer to that already?" ;) Never administered vbulletin (or alternatives) before, so I can't really compare. D.

    Darwen - the RS capital of the North?

    Crikey. Just been dropping a car off in Darwen and in the space of 15mins, spotted four RS Clios.... **** LJA - silver Ph.1 172 **** GWX - arctic 182 F*** *** (missed the reg unfortunately) - silver 182 L44 *** - silver Ph.2 172 **** LJA - silver Ph.1 172 - again, going the opposite way...

    rear tyres inside wear

    My offisde rear bearing either went or was very close to it. Made a droning noise at certain speeds, though seemingly quiet at others. Might be worth replacing the rear discs as the bearings come with them. D.

    Cool Nova

    This. :) So many are trashed, smashed or rotted to dust - I just don't see many of them anymore. I've had a soft spot for them since learning to drive in a 1.2 Nova back in '92. ;) D.

    blue 182 blackburn and BG 182 in accrington

    H - were you at Blackburn Asda yesterday perchance? I parked next to a silver 182 when I went in - I don't think it's the one that's normally there? D.

    Bully - the HP Officejet 8000 series is a great colour inkjet - pretty damn cheap on the inks too. Below is the wireless version, but they do a non-wireless one as well.... http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/WF06b/18972-18972-236251-3328074-3328074-3760400-3760408.html Happily works on...

    V6 undertray

    FLOL. Seriously. Have you seen the retail prices on replacement parts for a Vee? If it does the job with larger washers and is clearly out of sight being underneath the car - it will be worth a LOT more than that - damaged or not. D.

    +2! Both of those factors I loved when I test drove one. The new shape feels like it's lost those qualities to me now.... D.

    [PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

    Looking good! I was really quite paranoid that DICE might wuss-out and bow to the yawndom of COD-like requirements. Thankfully it still looks much more BF-like than COD. Nice map size too. COD players will suffer from panic attacks on maps that large. Anything larger than a 10ft x 10ft back...

    unphotogenic 200!

    I think on the black cars, it's not so obvious. Most of the components on the front end blend well together, imo. D.

    IE9 - CSS

    IE9 is genuinely awful. I reformatted my PC two weeks ago and sure enough it appeared there in Windows Updates straight away. Erm, no thanks! D.

    Dreamer

    What I never understand with sellers like that is that they've owned the car for 10 years - go to all that expense (inc. an engine overhaul a mere 700 miles ago)...... then decide to flog it? :S To me that smacks of something is majorly wrong or too expensive to rectify. You simply don't fall...

    Bye bye 200 - my ownership report

    That's the linch-pin for me. If I could be looking at much more torquey and potentially powerful cars for similar MPGs, then the 200 isn't going to be favourable for me as a next car. I think the recent Top Gear episode highlighted the 200's second-place standing in comparison of engines to...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    If you pick the engineer again - they make excellent secondary gunners on tanks. Hopefully you'll team up with a driver with a brain and learn where he positions the tank and how to use it. Keep a good eye out on the ground as the top gunner for enemy mines, etc. Also, keep a lookout in the...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    Yep - they will be. And likewise to what I said before, dropping an ammo bag which is collected by a squad member will gain you more points than if accessed simply by a team member. The same applies if a medikit is dropped. Try to use the vehicle you're repairing as your own shield. It's not...

    Cod veteran, wanting to play Battlefield (360)

    Yep - it's quite potent that. Iirc, it's only got a 20-round clip, which is it's only weakness. You may/may not know of the squad bonus points in the game? Always join a squad as the game loads - regardless. The other (maximum of 3) players seen in green are your squad mates. Anything you do to...
