    Should I buy this Samsung HDTV??

    I have the 32" Samsung that is the similar model to that in my living room and it's great. I'd recommend it!

    Great. I'll give a shot at the weekend. Hopefully it will sort the problem.

    Wierd starting problem...

    So would the reccomendation be to disconnect the battery, clean up the terminals and connectors with some switch cleaner or a wire brush and reconnect it all?

    Wierd starting problem...

    Whereabouts is the earth connection? Is this some kind of connection from the negative of the battery to the car chassis?

    Wierd starting problem...

    I have a wierd intermittent starting problem with my 172. Sometimes, when I try to start the car the engine turns over once and then everything dies (like the battery is totally dead) - all the lights on the dash go off (sometimes the speedo jumps up to about 40mph!). I then try again...

    Brakes Tick When Warm

    Just for a bit of a conclusion to this, I took it to the local Renault Minute. They took the brakes to bits, said there was nothing wrong with the discs or pads, cleaned it all up, greased the calipers (or something like that), charged me £50 for an hours labour and the problem seems to be fixed :)

    Brakes Tick When Warm

    Ugh. I know you are right, but last time I jacked up the car I bent the front jacking point and now I'm wary of bending it more, or it breaking while its on the the jack and ending up with a nasty hole in my car! :( (Or worse I guess, ending up with a car on my head!) I'll probably have a...

    Brakes Tick When Warm

    ^ Err. It's definitely not normal! It never used to do it and it only does it on one wheel. I'll try the reverse back thing next time I go out - would the clunck be obvious? I always reverse into my drive and I've never noticed anything, but I wouldn't be listening for it particularly.

    Brakes Tick When Warm

    I can hear a regular ticking noise from the front drivers side wheel once I've used a brakes a few times - like something is catching or rubbing. The frequency of the ticking varies with speed and if I gently apply the brakes the noise stops until I release the brakes then it starts again. It...

    Anyone know anything about vb?

    I've got VB6 experience too. Moved on abit now to mainly C#. But ask away! I'm sure someone will be able to answer whatever question you have looking at the replies above.

    Think my tyre is screwed...

    Hmm. I dunno about getting it repaired. It never really crossed my mind tbh. If it had been new I'd be pretty tempted. How do they actually repair it?

    Think my tyre is screwed...

    ...what do you guys (and gals) think? Out for a bit of a Sunday morning blast, pulled into a car park and heard that "tap-tap-tap" noise you get when you have a stone in your tyre. Thought I'd hop out and take a look and found this little beauty stuck in my tyre :eek: I was in two minds...

    Media centre PC

    I'll be interested to hear how it goes too. I've been thinking about building one on and off for a few years, but never quite got it done. My main concern would be getting a nice quiet one for the living room, but that seems quite tricky without spending a fortune...

    could this be serious???

    Someone posted a similar thread on here a week or so ago, and someone else (wow could I be more vague!?) suggested that it might be a gas escaping from the exhaust system somewhere around the CAT. Mine does this after about 6500rpm but only when I've got my foot down. If I hold stead at those...

    Exhaust just fell off

    Re: Exhaust just feel off Same happened to me - fine one day, blowing the next, fell off the next (on the way to get it replaced!!) You can buy just the back box (I did). Personally, I'd be phoning up the place I bought it from (assuming it was a garage and not private sale) and asking them...

    How stupid are renault

    I had a similar thing. Took it into one (Renault) garage - was told rear shocks were knackered, but not covered under warranty as over 2 years old - I'd only bought it a few months before from a different (Renault) garage so phoned them up and thay agreed to look at it - drove down to Bath...

    sat nav systems help!!

    Not looked into Garmin so I can't comment on that , but I've got the Snooper Indago - very nice little unit. Had a Road Angel Navigator before that which was pretty rubbish.

    ^^yup, msconfig. Or if you are feeling confident regedit - but only if you know what you are doing ;)

    K-tec stealth: they're supposed to be quiet right?

    Now I no less than nothing about after market exhuasts, but I'd always assumed that "stealth" meant you didn't have huge drain-pipe-sized thing sticking out the back of your car so it looked like you have a "normal" exhaust until you move off / boot it, then it roars loudly and everyone looks...

    Burnt Steering Wheel

    I got mine changed under warranty. Definitely a few others on here have. The material (leather?) around the thumb grips kind of went all sticky and peeled away on mine. Renault changed it with no arguments.

    laptop > printer wireless

    1) Buy a wireless router that allows you to attach a usb printer - there are some available if you look around 2) You'd have to have an always-on server-pc with the printer attached to that and the PC connected to the router.

    Warantee question!!

    I think my local dealers will also pickup / dropoff at your workplace, but I've never used that service as there is a nice stretch of dual carriage way between the dealer and work and I don't like the idea of them ragging my car down it!

    Really bad boot rattle

    Oil / grease the boot lid hinges. Check your centre seatbelt is properly magnet-ed onto it's fastening in the ceiling (unless you have it connected up for use of course!) Can't you just tell a lot of people have spent a lost of time looking for boot rattles!

    Warantee question!!

    I think it might also depend on what they are doing? But don't quote me on that. My local dealer usually gives me a lift to and from work when they have my car for the day - you could always try asking for that if you don't need your car during the day.

    Screaming 182??

    My 172 does this after about 6500 rpm - I've been wondering if I should do something about it! (It's actually quite a handy audible "time to change gear" warning noise ;) ) Now someone has said it might be the exhaust that makes sense to me as I think it must have started after I had the rear...

    182 Suspension/Shock advice...

    My 172 has been getting a bit like this recently too. I've tried the "bounce" test where you are supposed to bounce each corner and see how it settles but to me it never seems to move very much at all. :( I've been thinking about taking it into the garage and asking them to check over all the...
