    The New Phone Thread

    I very nearly upgraded my pixel 7 that I picked up this time last year for £300, to the new Pixel 9 pro XL the other week. With trade in it would have been £650, plus a free set of Google earbuds. But in reality the Pixel 7 is all the phone I need, I just fancied a bigger screen again. Pixel 8...

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    Came across this video this morning by Maxwell formally (it now seems) of Drive tribe. Might be worth a sub

    Oops I did it again... Adey's Clio 200 EDC

    I thought insurance prices had dropped recently. I was paying around £600+ for a E91 325d, and around £300 for my Z4 last year. Renewal for the Z4 this year was just over £200 in July, and my 130i was £220 last week. Both with Aviva, with max NCB. My wife's diesel CMax was around £350, which...

    182 not starting - Solid red light

    Sorry, but I've posted everything I had at the time in the post above. See post #40. Hopefully that info helps. I've no longer got the car, so don't have the paperwork either to double check to see if there was more information

    TP-link Deco Reoccurring Issue

    I've had Deco Mesh for around 2 years now too, and I've not had any issues other than when my Virgin connection goes down. I get 500mb/s in every room in the house, whereas before with just the Virgin router, I'd be lucky to get double figures in my study.

    Apple Event September 9 2024

    After my Pixel 6 pro's USB port broke, I bought a temporary Pixel 7 last Christmas for £299, intending to get either a Pixel 9 pro or iPhone 16 pro max. I've never had an Apple product before so am a little reluctant to jump in still, but the LiDAR scanner would be really useful for my work. I...

    Selling difficulties!!!!

    I've sold a couple of cars in the last few months. and both times the guys travelled on train/coach for several hours to collect the cars. One a 2009 E92 325d manual. It was priced pretty averagely I think (lots of cheaper ones, and quite a few more expensive, most had been up for sale for...

    MR2

    I had a mk3 mr2 about 6 or 7 years ago. Paid £700 for it from an older guy as the gearbox was noisey. Replaced the gearbox with a £250 second-hand unit and it was mint after that. Was my first experience of dropping a gearbox and fitting a replacement. Not long after I had to do the box on my...

    Cheers for the feedback guys. I think I'll make the jump.

    Subscriptions... what you got!?

    Thinking about ditching Spotify Premium and replacing it with YouTube Premium. Currently paying £20 a month for a family sub and YouTube is the same price. I probably watch YouTube an hour a day easy, and when watching stuff directly through the tv the adverts are really intrusive. I...

    Where's the go to place for 172/182 injectors these days?

    Normally a little cheaper if you order from the app I believe. Showing £35 each currently for me using the link above. But the prices change daily. I ordered a set of breathers for my Z4 a few weeks ago. Was £125 when I put them in my basket, but dropped to £65 one day whilst I was on holiday...

    Virgin existing customer deals?

    I re-signed last week via the website. Was paying around £56 I think for M500, Mega TV (TNT Sports & Eurosport), telephone and an O2 sim over 18 months. The new deal is £42 a month for the same, but with no mention of the O2 sim, as that is paid for separately direct to O2, so going to cancel...

    The New Phone Thread

    I've been fairly happy with my Pixel 7 that I picked up before Christmas for £300. Though it replaced a Pixel 6 Pro with a dodgy usb port, so not much of a change. I just miss the screen size of the 6 Pro.

    Catalytic

    On my old 182, I had a Magnaflow 200 cell sports cat welded into the decat. This was the cheapest solution at the time, but the cat elements were only about £70 at the time. Then I paid around £50 to have it welded in.

    Aftermarket Sports Cats

    I had a Magnaflow 200 cell welded into a decat pipe years ago. Only put it through 1 MOT, but it passed. I went for this as they seemed to give the best warranty and were a known brand. Stuff like the ktec sports cats only offer 6 months warranty

    ***How much is it worth?***

    I'm sure you're in no rush to sell? If so I'd get it booked in to see Mick @ Diamond Motors. Obviously, it'll be costly with the transport down there, but in the grand scheme, it's a small price to pay I think, given the difference in value you'll get on sale. When my RB failed to start and I...

    ***How much is it worth?***

    To be fair you were advised several times in your thread it was worth around £3k minimum, even with the belts needing doing when you were considering selling it previously. And I think it would have sold for that given a little time. I sold it for £3700 in the end, but I suspect with the way...

    Paid £299 for my Pixel 7 last month. I don't think you'll find a better Android phone for that money.

    Recommendations for dry fast road tyres?

    I always used Yokohama AD08 & AD08R when given the option. Last set was the newer AD08RS. The newer RS are supposed to be slower on track but are great on the road. Though a few years ago Kwikfit would do a full set fitted for £200 All the other tyres I've used on a Clio have felt too soft on...

    The New Phone Thread

    This was the reason I ended up going for a Pixel 7 when they were for sale for £300 last month. I was replacing a Pixel 6 pro, so the jump to something like a S23U would have been less in my case. I quite fancied trying a smaller screen size too, as I was weighing up jumping to an iPhone 15 pro...

    Advice - Looking to buy a RB 182

    In terms of numbers, there was something like 450 RB cups, and 450 non-cups. So around 900 total I believe. Not massive numbers, compared to the other colours but probably the largest numbers in terms of the sort after colours. They made 500 Trophy's for the UK market in comparison. I think...

    The New Phone Thread

    Never heard that to be honest. Quick google suggest that the 6 also had this issue and Android 14 has fixes for it. Saying that though, I never had any issues with the 6 pro, and my wife has had a 7 pro since they were released without issue. So not overly worried. At worst it's a cheap stop...

    The New Phone Thread

    I've just ordered a pixel 7 from Currys for £299.50, to replace my tired broken pixel 6 pro. None of the newer flagship phones really caught my eye enough to justify paying 3 times more. I was planning on getting a 15 Pro max through work, but cashflow is a bit tight so that's off the cards...

    Clio 15 Superleggera

    Team Dynamics Pro Race 1.2's are no longer manufactured, and haven't been for a long time now. So if you're luck enough to find any they'll be old stock. They were replaced with these if that helps: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363742675496 I'm pretty sure someone on here posted pictures of them...

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    His Dad has only recently joined the channel. Well probably been over a year now, I think he became a full time addition when he bought the Lambo that needed the engine rebuilding. It's funny as if you look back in this thread, most people on here seemed to say they hated his videos not too...

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    Think the steering wheel QR I had was 70mm deep, so with the bucket seats as low as possible, it was a really comfortable fit for me. I've still got my bucket seat and subframe in the garage in case I get another (the 172 cup up this week was tempting). Bought a Z4 3.0si, as I fancied another...

    Restoring Little Bluey - my 182 FF ClioSport in Racing Blue

    Sorting the driving position out with better seats and a smaller steering wheel is a must on these cars in my opinion. The standard seats and steering wheel ruin the car for me. Though I am 6 foot 3, so that doesn't help. And it's not like it couldn't be put back to standard in a day anyway. I...

    The New Phone Thread

    So my Pixel 6 Pro has had issues with the usb c port for probably 6 months plus now, I've been making do with using a charging pad at night, but when using the phone for a sat nav when on longer journeys and out all day long it's starting to become an issue. Phone is coming up to 2 years old now...
