Hi guys, Been a LONG time since I've posted on here...maybe 4 years! Boring post, but I've just been offered a new job which will require a 90mile daily commute and I will have less access to overnight development cars. Therefore my M5 which runs at best 22mpg average is going to be painfull...

Happy New Year people! After bigging up French cars to my mate the other day, on the basis that my Clio's have never gone wrong, I think the Coil Pack has given up the ghost! Basically, I get lumpy idle, shuddering on anything more than 10% throttle and get the engine warning light flashing at...

Right this is one for you... How do I find out the no. of my French Mobile (have it & sim card in my hand). Trouble is, I can't ring out from it because theres no €€ on it. Therefore, my intial plan of ringing my UK mob to find it out won't work! Hmm...

Hi, I've got a 22inch widescreen monitor and was told that Vista can split the screen and I can effectively run dual monitors on one screen - i.e. split screens... How is this done? All I really want to do is have a word and excel document half/half on the screen instead of having to...

Probably a stupid question, but I've looked through all the menu's and I can't find an option which says "delete all songs with an explanation mark next to them!" I plugged my mates external drive into my laptop for a party and now I have about 3k songs that dont work, really annoying! So...
