    Garage smoke alarms

    Does anyone have any recommendations for smoke alarms/heat detectors within a garage? Smart, linked etc. Ideally not wired. A friend of mine nearly lost his home recently when a lithium battery started a fire within his integral garage and it's made me think. I'm thinking something louder than...

    iPhone 13 - when will the price drop

    I am sporting a 6S so I could do with upgrading. I'm on a cheap sim only deal so I'd buy the handset opposed to a contract. Now the 14 is out, is there a pattern to when Apple tend to reduce the previous version?

    Racking / shelving

    Looking for recommendations for reasonably priced heavy duty racking systems. I want to store a fair amount of weight in large containers so I have dismissed the entry level angle iron clip together shelving. Often advertised as holding ~200kg per shelf but having experienced some similar with...

    SGS Wheel dollies

    Anyone on here use these wheel dollies? SGS clicky I'm looking to store an immobile vehicle as tight up against a wall where it will stay sat in these for the long term. I won't be leaving any room to get down the side to jack up and remove so they will stay in situ under the wheels so I can...

    Wishbone identification

    Is this a cup wishbone or otherwise? Also not sure what side it’s off. It’s a spare I have kicking around which I need to advertise.

    Music Magpie

    Are the old horror stories such as 'Quoted X but then wanted to pay Y when they received them' still valid? Now don't get me wrong, they pay pittance for most stuff, but I've loads of old 360/PS3 games (some 2013 which @ £4/5 I may as well sell) that I can take the most valuable and bundle...

    197 boot release

    My 197 boot release appears to be playing silly buggers. In the past, pressing the unlock button on the remote a few times would be enough to open all the doors including the boot, as I found it necessary to click it a couple of times to open the drivers and passenger door. Recently I noticed...

    Wheel repair - Somerset area

    I've an alloy wheel with a fairly substantial flat spot. Could any members within the South West recommend a company that can straighten wheels? I'm not looking for a bodyshop/wheel painter. The face is fine still. It's the rear of the wheel that's been knocked in a pot hole. I would take a...

    Buzz in engine bay

    Noticed an occasional 'buzz' coming from my 197 engine bay recently. It's a faint noise - almost as if it's a very quiet, fucked horn. Similar to a washer pump buzz. It's occasional, every several seconds it's a faint, single burst. I've noticed it whilst driving and idling. Any suggestions...

    Small laptop recommendations

    I'm looking at replacing my Windows 7 netbook but unsure what I should be buying. The main usage would be internet browsing, office applications and go pro playback/fiddling. The current thing has 2gb of ram but won't play back my go pro videos so it needs to be something powerful enough for...

    197/200 Cup spoiler screws

    Would anyone happen to know off the top of their head what size the stainless screws are which hold the 'faux carbon' end caps on to the Cup spoilers for the Mk3? Random but you never know!

    Battery relocation - fusing

    I've put an Odyssey 25 battery under the seat on my 205. I've added a BMW junction box in the engine bay with the handy jumping point. I overlooked fuses, so I'm looking for advice. I've seen mention that they aren't necessary, but wouldn't hurt to add one. Was in maplins earlier and found...

    Oil cooler hoses - where to buy

    Does anyone have any recommendations for online retailers to produce hydraulic hoses for oil coolers? I've found a company on eBay who will sell a 75cm hose with swaged ends for a shade under £16ea which isn't bad (if they are half decent). Certainly blows the local firm I visited out the...

    Go pro roll cage/bar mount

    I've borrowed what is believed to be a genuine go pro roll bar mount to test out in my car to ensure it has the flexibility to do what I wanted. It does, so I've gone to look at buying one and I'm now wondering whether it was actually genuine after all. It's got a soft lining between the two...

    Xenon manual adjuster piece

    I read it's fairly common for the white piece of plastic that holds the light internals which adjusts with an Allen key, to snap. Do Renault sell then singly? I notice eBay is littered for the same part on BMWs.

    Cat with 2 flanges

    I'm wondering if anyone could help me identify a cat. It's fitted to a 2003 172, and has one flange where the bulkhead meets the floor, and removable cat section with the flange to the centre section of the exhaust. A picture speaks a thousand words: It's fitted to a standard 172 manifold...

    Anyone able to get a good deal through Quaife?

    I'm looking to buy a Quaife diff for one of my Peugeot gearboxes and wondered if anyone on here had any contacts that could soften the blow on a new one. JJC Race and Rally are the best price I can find so far, beating Quaife direct.

    Another 306 Rallye project

    I had my first 306 GTi6 as a teenager nearly 10 years ago. In 2009 I got rid in favour of a 172 Cup which I continuously rated as a better buy. Not necessarily a better car, but a better buy due to age, general condition etc. I've always felt the Clios are slightly quicker but prefer the way the...

    Online number plate manufacturers

    Where are people buying number plates from these days? I want a new standard pair - happy to have the BS marking etc, but would rather not have a company name to the centre as a slogan. Many years ago I used these guys: http://www.myshowplates.com/index.asp They are cheap enough at a shade...

    bristolnate?

    @bristolnate Noticed a LY 182 yesterday in Bristol at around 7.30? ish give or take an hour. Would it have possibly been you? I forget where exactly it was to be honest - somewhere past Filton IIRC. I noticed it but didn't pay any attention until I just noticed a post by you which triggered...

    172 Cup gearbox fitted to 182 Cup

    I've someone interested in my 172 Cup gearbox - to go in their 182 Cup. I've read conflicting information, and want to be able to correctly advise the buyer and not sell something not fit for purpose with speedo issues. I read the following: A 172 Cup gearbox will fit any mk2 RS 1*2, the...

    OE radio - numbered buttons

    A quick query if I may. I've a standard OE radio/CD player from my 2002 172 cup. Are the numbered buttons supposed to select tracks on a CD - for example if you were listening to a CD and pressed 4, should track 4 start? Mine never would. Neither of the numbers would select to relevant track...

    Compression test with engine out of vehicle

    Looking to do a compression test on a 172 engine which is no longer fitted in the car - therefore is obviously unable to be cranked by key. From looking on line hand cranking with a breaker bar is highly likely to be a wasted effort. The gearbox isn't fitted so neither is the starter. Can I...

    External hard drive for recording television

    I've a Samsung smart TV and notice I can record programmes to an external hard drive connected to the rear. I have pre historic Sky without a recording function so an external hard drive connected to the television could be a bonus for the rare occasion I may want to record a series or...

    Part numbers/prices

    Do any of you know of a catalogue of part numbers with prices? Must be one online? I prefer to have a nosey and check parts and prices before I go off to a dealer and order because they are useless at finding odd bits. If I can go in with a lits of numbers, they can't (in therory) go wrong...

    Deleting texts iOS5

    iOS5 query, not sure if it's the same in older versions. I get the good old 'Your entititled to X for the accident you had' and other random texts I don't see the point in keeping. When I delete them, it leave the number they originated from in the list. So I am scrolling past these to get to...
