    Does it have to go on the outside of the car? Or does that just help get a better signal? Also, does it work on line-of-sight to the satellite or is it like radio waves that come in everywhere? Thnx PS: Its for an in-car PC thats slowly taking shape :D

    Cost for wheel bearing in Renault

    Anyone had this done recently? And should they both be done at the same time or just leave the other one till it goes? Thanks

    Estimate for new wheel bearing

    How much and how long? Is it better to do both sides at the same time or wait a few months till the other one goes?!? Is there anything else worthwhile to be done while its there? It had a service at 37000km and now its at 45000 so a bit early for a service? Thanx

    New HU/changer using existing cable

    Is the cable connecting a HU and a CD changer a standard connection? I mean, if I got a new HU and changer can I use that cable to connect them rather than having to rip everything out to route a cable? Thanx

    172 topped out at 220kph

    Why? I thought the top speed from a 172 was 245? Could it be the 17s? The weather(24 degrees)? Or limited to 220? I was on the autobahn behind some cars at 170 when they all pulled over and I had a clear road in front of me. Sunny, dry and perfect visibility so I thought it was the...
