I'd avoid the 478 if I were you, the boards may be rather cheap, but that's because they are agressively trying to phase them out and therefore a 3Ghz Presscott is now £50 more expensive than it was a year ago (478). The 478 Prescotts run very hot 50oC in standby, 80 under load.

I've got a wireless optical mouse which works great but eats batteries. I've just purchased a Saitek Eclipse Keyboard (from ebyer) which has blue light shining through the keys (not just around the keys) which is the daddy for playing at night, quality keyboard. Also check out Ebuyer quick...

I agree with these comments although GTR/GTL aren't THAT much better, quite a lot better though. Depends what you want / mood you are in. I have GTR and it is very good, but but I have to be in a kinda geeky mood to play it - which isn't often. Not enough tracks to keep me interested, plus...

What's the speed like on Ultravnc? I'm using Remote desktop to view this forum (office firewall won't let me) and it's painfully slow if any pages have pictures on them :(

Demon have been great for me in the last year. 2Meg conection, Static IP address, no limit on downloads, web space, unlimited email adresses etc. Think it's £24 pcm, can't remember, not cheap, but compared to NTL they are the nuts.

It's worth checking the freeview web site to make sure you can receive the signal. In my town you can only receive it in the hills, not in the town centre or valley (the local booster ariel isn't currently digital). Stick your postcode in here.. http://www.freeview.co.uk/ Wish I'd...

Yeah, know what you are saying, I have more than one optical drive in both of my main sytems, one sytem set up for racing (so I don't have to keep moving the steering wheel) and a another set up for the likes of BF2 etc, which save on the disk swapping a little. It does seem that the games...

I've used dozens of star force disks in 7 differnt systems I've owned in recent years the only trouble I've ever had was a bit of dust in one drive. Looks like you're either extremely unlucky or you have duff equipment. If you have no resect for your own stuff, you can't blame codemasters if...

I haven't received my copy of Toca RD3 yet :( was apaprently posted first class on Friday, hmm. If I had of gone by the crappy demo version of TOCA RD 2, I never would have bought the full game (Codemasters demos are never the finished article, must put off potential buyers - don't know why...

None of the current VGA cards that claim to output HD actually work at present. You'd need a HD DVD rom in your PC as well. Sky Customer service reckon that the new HD Sky boxes are going to cost £700. Think I'll wait a while for prices to become sensible.

Full game hopefully be arriving in the post tomorrow. Think I paid £17 (delivered) from dvd.co.uk bargain for a spanking new game.

You can play games on them but after a while it totally knackers them.

If you repaired them in the past then you're probably already aware that you can't play games on projectors? The main reason why I didn't go down that route.

HP are a joke, can't really go into details, but I kinda work for them. They f*cked up Compaq, which made great servers and pretty good laptops, buy 'merging' with them. Complete take over more like, now they've layed off just about everyone with even half a brain in favour of Indian call...

**** me the definition of chav has evolved out of all control on this site, lol. Chav and pikey now seem to = the same. ffs i used to enjoy this website But it reminds me of how i went from being a clio fanatic to not wanting anything to do with them, and a lot of that had to do with the...

Not going to get into the argument about whether a modded car is chav or not, because people spend a LOT of time and money doing so and get rightly p1ssed when people diss their creation. I think it is more popular with the younger crowd though and I can remember my very first car when Id...

I lived in Slough for a short while, back living near Amersham now. Plenty of members in slough, Im sure you know what I mean ;) Edit: forgot to say Konichi-wa Hannah, let me be the first to welcome you to the forum, ironic really as I very rarely stick my head in here these days...

Zymol is meant to be the nads, developed by the legendary Mark Underwood aka Wax Wizard. He is a car enthusiast and a chemist. He had a falling out with Zymol and sold his formulas to Swissol. Swssol is the same quality stuff, but apparently easier to apply. You need to use their Cleaner...

If an insurance company could tell, Id eat my socks. Both engines look identical

1998? Thatll be the old CTR. What were they 1.6? Not saying I dont agree with the report though!

Buy cheap, buy twice as they say. Did the £1200 price tag not make you think? Depends on who had it before you like anything else. Sold mine with 127k on the clock and no major bills. Perhaps you ended up with my old one.

Personally Id leave it. On my old valver I waited until 72k to get them all done. If your altrnator belt snaps youll conk out, no harm done, AC belt no harm done, Power steering, more difficult to park. but if theyre all seperate belts (???), if on goes then it could chop through the others...

Any idea how much this sort of work will cost, mine feels sloppy after all the miles and defo needs them doing.

Cool. Youre welcome mate

Mine was 4 years old and had 30k on the clock when I bought mine. Paid 9k (+interest) Sold it with 127k on the clock nearly four years later. The only time I regretted it was when the gearbox went at 77k, which I was not happy about as I was very very skint at the time. Only other problems I...

Forgot to mention that the passenger window works fine when using the drivers side switch, so it can only be a dodgy switch (on the passenger side)

Mate, I had this problem after using the wipers to clear snow off the windscreen. Thought Id damamged the motor. Check the fuses mate, cured mine. tell her to scrape the ice off before using the wipers! My passenger window swith hasnt worked for ages, started intermitently then after a few...

Cheers dude. Yep tis a willy. Ill have a peek. I take it if its the column the whole thing will need replacing? I imagine that wouldnt be cheap as just about any work requires the engine to be out. Oh well, think the engine mounts are on their way out too, so have them done at same time...

Think my steering rack may be on the way out. Noticed it has a lot of play either side of centre. You can turn it approx 3-4 inches in either direction before any response from the front wheels. Not a major problem but it will be if it gets any worse. Just a little diconcerting if Im not...
