I've had a Skype landline for around 3 years now, so whenever anybody calls the landline number I answer through the laptop or Mac via the built in mic. The quality of the microphones aren't great and I'm constantly scurrying around for a headset to plug in. I've seen VoIP handsets etc online...

Hi guys, I've got a mate who runs a business from an office and is not tech savvy at all. He wants to be able to access his documents on his office computer from his home computer and obviously update documents etc, so I was wondering whether you knew of any good pieces of software or anything...

Hi guys, I apologise if I've posted in the wrong section. I've got a Mk1 Fabia VRS and I'm looking at possibly getting it detailed (possibly with paint correction too depending on price). Can you recommend anybody around Cheshire or nearby? Cheers Liam

I've had the Mac around 2.5 years and it's never had an issue, however the other day it started showing a progress bar on startup which takes around 15 minutes to complete. It does this every single time which is driving me mad, yet once it's completed it works absolutely fine. Any ideas?

Hi guys, I have recently dropped Sky and gone over to BT Broadband, so they sent me a nice BT Home Hub 4 to setup. I have set it up no problem and the internet works, however towards the far end of the house (especially upstairs) the signal is absolutely terrible. When the Sky router was...

My Missus' Step-Dad is a total techno-r****d. He's the type that takes 5 minutes to type a word out and has to search for each key haha. He's looking to buy a new desktop PC for his work, he only uses it for basic tasks such as internet browsing and the odd Office related document. I know he...

For my Saxo trackcar, I want to design some graphics that I want printing to put onto my car. It'll be quite simple, I will have a greyscale flame about 1.3m in height, my company's logo and web address. I want them to put on both sides of the car. Are there any recommend companies out there...

I'm looking to move my track car tomorrow/Friday and as it's been sat around for 6 months without moving it has at least one flat tyre and a dead battery. As usual, the tyre pump I have at the moment is broken so I'm thinking I should get a charger & compresson in one. I've had a quick look...

Since I can remember, I've always wanted to take part in motorsport. I hounded my parents every day to let me take up karting, however circumstances, time and the expense meant that it wasn't feasible. I am 20 years old, with 3 years of having a clean license and insurance and fingers...

Hi guys, I've recently properly returned to CS after a while out, having bought a Fabia VRS SE last year. I've been regularly checking the forums and following several fantastic build threads, but haven't really extended my browsing to posting, so here goes! Basically I've wanted to have a...

Following on from my being ripped off thread, I've decided I need to buy a good laptop. Basically I'm a graphic designer studying at uni, I work for an agency and I also work from home so I need a good quality laptop that will step up to the mark and allow me to be mobile. I use Photoshop...

Hello, I have just got a new computer from a friend of my Dad's who is supposed to be a "gadget" man etc etc. He told my Dad that it has all of the best hardware, but today when I was talking to a guy from PC World he told me otherwise and that I had been fooled. It's a custom built PC, it has...

I don't have the greatest knowledge when it comes to the engine etc part of the car, but over the last couple of days I noticed that my clutch felt really wierd. It was quite stiff to depress and it felt really crunchy, tonight when I was driving home anytime I went over 20mph in any gear up to...

I'm currently watching SkySports 1 on SkyPlayer on the 360, I remember that on my old 360 there was an option to change the video quality. On my new one I can't see an option for it, instead it only says "Auto". Any ideas anyone?

Basically I want to make my own induction setup for my PH2 1.2 16v rep, I'm not being a gypo and being tight, I can easily get a k&n setup for a low price but I want to get the best results so I presume making one myself will do this. I need to know what I'll need and the approximate costs...

I fitted my KW Ultimate coilies a few days ago and ever since when I steer to the right the o/s top mount is creaking like mad, I got my missus to sit in the car while she turned the steering wheel and when looking at the top mount it seems to be too tight??? The rubber is warped as if it is on...

I bought a coilover kit from a lad off here the other week, came to a few problems including needing the wheels spaced. I have the cup alloys on so I assume 10mm spacers will be ok, can anyone confirm this? Main problem - I have some GAZ rear springs with the shocks from the coilover kit...

Need these extremely badly today, anyone know where I can get some extended wheel bolts close to Widnes? Cheers in advance Liam

I recently took my clocks apart, but put them back together properly. However now, the tripometer isn't working properly, the mileage and the other displays are working but the MPG & range seem to be flashing ---- Anybody had this problem previously or know how to rectify? Thanks in advance Liam

I'm just toying with the idea of doing an engine conversion from a 1.2 to a 1.6, i'm just wondering apart from the engine...what other parts would i need? This might seem a daft question but in this area i'm no expert lol and i don't want to price everything up that i think to find i've left...

Wanting somebody to sort the swirl marks out on my car, however the bumpers, wings and side skirts will not require this as they've just been sprayed. Any idea of who can do it and how much it will cost? I also require somebody to remove a few dints...so if anyone knows anyone that'll be...
