Western Digital My Book Studio II
4TB USB Hard Drive
It has 2x2TB drives in it, which you can set up in RAID - hence I will mirror one drive onto the other for automatic backup :wink:
I already have this, but I have a 2Tb version (2x1TB drives). I will sell that and replace it with the above.
The plan is to next buy an Apple Time Capsule, which will wirelessly backup my MBP.
I then plug the above drive into the time capsule, so I can also access it wirelessly as my storage space for photos/videos etc - hence I wont need to keep that stuff on my MBP itself, but can access it wirelessly whenever I need to........so all my storage/backups all secure, all wireless :wink:

Robin, don't let her take that Mac to Uni for a few months - the local scum have a field day around Fresher's week emptying all the halls of their expensive items, cos they're all too drunk and unfamiliar with the people around them to notice.

I've been waiting ages for a good pair of Bluetooth headphones. Always been impressed with Sennheiser products and these don't dissapoint in terms of sound quality.
One annoying thing is you cannot use the change track function on the headphones with the iPhone. Come on Apple...pull your finger out! :fighting:
Great pair of headphones though...highly recommend them. :happy2:

....No two pairs of Nike's are ever the same. I love their styles and won't buy any other brand of trainers. They last well too.
I nearly bought ordered some prescription lensed Oakleys today but £330! Now on my shopping list when funds next allow. Trouble is I need two pairs: One shades for bright sun and the other amber/yellow for dull days and night driving.
Post by: VC on May 19, 2010, 12:15:44 am
I'm the same with my eyes as I suffer with photosensitivity, even more so recently so I wear only oakleys as they use irridium lenses, blue for dull days and yellow for bright days (yellow being fire irridium) and worth every penny.
Can recommend them if you've not tried them regardless of frame choice :happy2:
Post by: RedRobin on May 19, 2010, 01:36:22 am
Yep, Oakley's and Bolle's were the cool shades to wear when I used to race bicycles. I used to wear Rayban Aviators but one bike accident nearly took my eye out with the metal frame, hence my move to plastics. I have Bolle now but have always fancied some Oakley's.

Only ever wear oakley glasses, once you get used to the wrap round lenses and the improved peripheral vision you just cant go back to standard glasses, currently have 6 pairs, 3 prescription 2 clear 1 iridium, and and 3 pairs of non prescription plastic framed for sports ive had some over 10 years and still as good as the day I bought them. worth every penny, especially as the RX (prescription) lenses come with polarising treatment as standard.
....I wish you hadn't said that! You just spent a load of my money!
My Bolle's have good peripheral as well but their style is not as cool as Oakley's and they don't have a polarising option.

i even use oakley snowboard goggles too as i can interchange between fire iridium for really bright days and blue for lower light conditions and night time exploits

Finally ordered my 32GB iPad wifi!
Does ship until the 19th though - but should arrive just before my birthday.....although its actually more for the kids then me!! lol ;)
Im also planning on buying the white iPhone 4 32GB when its released, so bought the black bumper for it in preperation - the black bumper looks great on the white phone ;)

Finally, just ordered a new router to replace my current Netgear Rangemax. Although my current one has worked flawlessly, almost all of my devices now support Wireless-N - so decided to go for the Apple Extreme, which runs on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz ranges simultaneously. Also my main reason for buying was so I can get my external 4TB storage drive onto my network, and access it wirelessly ;)
On top of that, I found it over £30 cheaper then from Apple themselves! lol

Fancied a change, and being messed around by VW over the Polo GTI was taking the piss. Delay from delivery in July, to August, to September. Clio is in stock in the UK now. Should arrive this weekend.
Had VAG cars the past 11 years and really like the Clio 200. Mrs has promised me i can get a Mk2 Golf project as well once ive saved the pennies. :happy2:

they are doing it in white too :drool: love the little clio 200 big time
It's white with anthracite stripes though, or you can order it in black with white stripes. Still the blue looks very cool.
My Dad has a Clio 200 Cup (in white with gloss black alloys), and it is a great car. Love them.

I always tend to purchase sammy TVs, and havent had any problems in the past with them. Hopefully this monitor will be a good-un as well, since all the reviews are quite positive.
Now, Im still deciding on whether to buy the XBox 360 Halo Reach Limited Edition, to hook up to the above screen.........very tempted.........

Lol! You know me too well now!!
I have a habit of selling stuff as soon as i feel I'm not using it very much. This habit has got me into trouble (with the wife) several times now, so I'm determined not to sell stuff prematurely now!!
Saying that Ive had my Macbook pro, iPad, and iPhone for several months now - and I've not even thought about selling them! Maybe I've broken my habit already!! Lol

Best bit is they're absolute pennies to mod, I got a shim kit off the race car for £18 - allows adjustment for camber, caster and toe all round, where applicable. Imagine what that would cost in VAG world.

....Yes I've had the PogoAlert for more than 2 years and much prefer it to either of the Road Angels I had previously. The only downside has been it not being Mac compatible but I see the new version now is.
It's not always happy if subjected to being left in very hot sun but its functions aren't compromised.
I use mine in large speedo display as default - It's invaluable, particularly as the Golf Mk5 displays are very poor.

Love it. When I had my Yamaha Banshee I used to swap it with a mate who had an RM 250 Slingshot, was leathal. Just wanted to be on the back wheel all the time :rolleye:

Yeah it is absolutely mental :driver: It is a massive difference riding this than the 4-stroke's I used to race. Im gonna have to alter my riding style completely but first of all im thinking im gonna have to go down a tooth or two on the rear sproket :rolleye: until i get used to it.
I only bought it as a bit of fun but now im tempted to start racing again :chicken:

Bosch hedgetrimmer AHS 480-24T :notworthy:I really like Bosch Stuff, and if I'm buying a powertool I'll normally look at them first. I've got a liking for 'Blue Bosch' as well which can get expensive. Currently on my want list is an Impact Gun/Wrench.
Makes by previous Black & Decker look amateur. Proves once again that it's a better idea to buy the better quality and often higher price product in the first place.

2 Strokes = Win!!
I had a KXF250 which I just sold this year and I must admit, the 2strokes are much more fun to ride, a lot more lively!

Its a 2006 I originally bought it new then raced it for half a season then i sold it to a freind as i decided to go for a 2007 kxf250 as i was a bit lazy. Then last week he told me he was selling it at a price i couldnt refuse.
The only mods that are on it which i had done originally are a blueprinted engine, V-Force 3 reed block, Properly Jetted carb, Re-valved and set up suspension to my weight, style etc. I have just ordered a Pro-Circuit pipe and silencer for it and ive got my old wheels in the garage which im hoping will fit. It was just meant to be a bike to just mess around on when my mates go up the practice tracks but im already seriously tempted to start racing again :evilgrin:
I've never run a 250 2 stroke at pace but have quite a lot with the 250 4 strokes. I do love the torque tbh, and I much prefer the noise of a 4 stroke.
What's the obvious difference?
Mate are you serious???? lol there isnt anything better than the sound and smell of a 2-stroke getting ragged around a track lol!!!
1min 33 sec :party:
Umm there is quite a distinct difference in the riding styles of both bikes but the easiest way to describe it is a 4-stroke is like a diesel car and a 2-stroke is like a turbocharged petrol car. With a 4 you can just use the low down torque to pull you around but with the 2 stroke youve got to keep it in the sweet spot (power band) which is more or less flat out i.e the same as keeping the turbo boosting in the car.
My old 2007 KXF250

Bought a Hard Anodised 16"x10" oven roasting tray. Cost 24 squid but definitely worth it as it's truly non-stick and heats very evenly without warping etc. I've learnt never to buy cheap for cooking gear - The good pro stuff lasts a whole lot longer and delivers better eating results! :party:

We fortunately have friends in Calgary and tend to stay with them but this year we are going to be with them for the last 3 days. I was last there in Feb 2009 and it was kind of cold, like -30c but during the summer it can reach 30c so they have the best of both worlds.
Of all the places i have been Canada is by far my favourite.

I usually buy Nike for this kind of shoe and haven't heard of TEVA but since buying them a friend tells me they're a highly rated brand. I haven't got them for driving - I have two pairs of Piloti's for that - but what sold them to me was that they're fairly waterproof.

....Comfy. Saint Steve was with me when we met Piloti's designer at the Racing Car Show. Their shoes are what he calls "lifestyle" shoes: Designed to be worn like casual shoes/trainers and not just for driving. I bought my first pair (low cut for Summer) a couple of years ago via the internet and IIRC they have a policy of return if you're not happy. I've got UK contact info if you want me to find it for you. Although flat and smooth, the soles are hard wearing.

As i was in Thailand the objective for my Canon EOS 500D stopped working, it was a Tamron 28-175mm, so i have bought a 18-200mm Canon 71mm instead.

Hey Rich and Degudodger, I have always wanted to go to canada as i've heard it's a beautiful country with some stunning scenery. My brother and his wife went a few years ago and absolutely loved it and cant wait to go back. I just wanted to know what you guys found good to do there and also what made you like the rockies so much?.
Where do I start!
The scenery is stunning, and by stunning i mean Jaw dropping stunning. For instance where can you when its 25c stand on a ice glacier which is over 300ft thick and nearly 1/2 mile wide.

The rockies are just sublime. no other way of putting it.

I think you'd be OK with a DSG car, but operating a clutch in them is very difficult!
....I reckon they're the kind of shoes which you would change into once you've arrived by car at your destination. Do what sensible girlies do and don't drive in high heels but keep some flatties in the car for driving.

Although fearfully expensive, I'm well pleased with my Forge catch tank kit.
The one in the pic has got the sight glass window on the wrong side (an early version which Forge revised following my advice). Make sure you've got the later version like mine:

The Pioneer plasmas are fantastic, I still own a Krp 500m and a 5090 and couldn't imagine changing for a 3d set, I do have a soft spot for them though but its probably a wise decision to jump out of the pioneers before the 2nd hand market drops even further.

I'v just swapped my old plasma (Pioneer PDPLX5090) for this one. Its nowhere as good as the Pioneer (by a million miles!) but I now have £2000 in the pocket and I will get a 3D later anyway so I could'nt turn the offer down!!
I've got the PDPLX5090 myself, I was shocked to see people still offering them for in excess of £2k. I guess they are obsolete now.

Obsolete maybe Stu but still an amazing picture. I got a 50" 1080p sammy and £2000 for mine!
I'll just sit it out for a while and see how things pan out with 3D, was considering a keeping the sammy and going for a 3d projector but my missus will kill me if I start cutting holes in the ceiling for a screen :grin:

Who gave you £2k, was it a private sale?
Yes it was a private sale to a mate of my brothers. He needed to pay 'cash' so could'nt take advantage of cheaper online deals and you'll be hard pressed to find a 5090 in a highstreet store.
He reckons the cheapest he saw them online was £2200 and the most expensive (wait for it) £2700!! so I got 2k and a sammy plasma probably worth £500 if it was new but it is immaculate as its been wall hung.
I wasnt going to turn that offer down...

All this talk of bad welds and Chinese is really putting me off Milltek :sad1:
....You're not the only one who has raised the question of Milltek being made in China. On behalf of Milltek (I've just now confirmed this with their bossman), they DO NOT manufacture their products in China but in the UK. It's of course right that folks should share their opinions, grievances, etc, but it's spreading a falsehood for anyone to state they're made in China.
I'm not going to argue/debate about welds - Bad ones can happen but invariably are put right. Personally I've never experienced a bad weld on any Milltek in 85k miles - What else can I say.
Best we go back to the subjects of this thread rather than start a Milltek debate here, methinks. :happy2:

Camping, 1/4 mile sprinting, good crowd of people. I'm sure there will be other things to do if you want to make a trip of it. London, track days etc etc.
Spa 4th of Oct. (http://www.circuit-days.co.uk/event_info.asp?id=382) There may be a track day at the Ring to link in with this too.

It's a pain in Germany with fu...ng TÜV approvements.

Robin, i think im right in saying they are not road legal Full stop. They are not legal for road use in any setup due to the compound not being "awake" enough on cold starts in the morning etc.
There are certain markings road legal pads bare, but the ds2500s dont.

....I beg to differ. I looked into this when I first heard that rumour on the internet and am assured that my AP Racing BBK with DS2500's are totally legal. As it happens I always test my brakes on my drive before taking my car out on the road and they work well every single time. Has passed MOT twice as well for what that's worth.
You don't really think that an established company such as AP would be selling brakes for road use with illegal pads do you?

I bought the actual cabinets as used items but everything else is as new, and saved about £25k (about 1/3 off) the usual price :smiley:

Yep, 4wd dyno dynamics to replace our existing 2wd setup. Power capability of 2400hp or 1200hp at the wheels on each axle.

Have you used it yet. Im undecided wether to Upgrade my TZ6 but have been looking at the TZ8 or TZ10 (not sure about Geo Tagging at the mo)
Post by: Ifti on February 17, 2011, 08:58:35 am
Two 'breeds' of compact cameras:
1. SuperZooms - like the TZ10. Awesome zoom, but smaller sensor.
2. Larger sensor cameras - poorer zoom, but larger sensors mean higher quality, sharper, images with less grain, and much better in low light shots. These cameras can take shots in low light with no flash, and still produce no grain, so you get a more natural image rather then a brightly lit one.
I went for the Canon S95 since I didnt need a large zoom, but wanted the larger sensor for indoor shots, evening shots, and so on. Its a popular choice for DSLR owners who want a compact as well, since it has the manual controls and a lens ring that are similar to DSLRs. It also saves in RAW format as well as JPEG for editing later.

Video of it, with its basic controls etc....
Although I already have a Sandisk Extreme 32GB Class 10 SDHC card, Ive also got this arriving today....
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi.telegraph.co.uk%2Fmultimedia%2Farchive%2F01669%2Feye-fi-pro-x2_1669772c.jpg&hash=8bf8b04f907a84f0ba5aa48f75359e3d53c2abbe)
This is like a never-ending SD card (Class 6), since as you take photos it will wireless transfer them to your computer at the same time. Or if you have been out taking images, you switch your computer on and the card sends all the pics across straight away - no need to plug anything in :wink:
Im considering purchasing 'ShutterSnitch' on my iPad. This transfers images from teh card straight onto the iPad or iPhone. That way I can be taking an image with my camera, which will wirelessly transfer across to my iPad in the background - so rather then review an image on the smaller camera screen, you have all your images on the iPad ready to review straight away - and then transfer them to the computer etc later.
Post by: john_o on February 17, 2011, 09:23:02 am
good points , theres definitely a split. the S95 is superb but a level up again in price.
wifi card is a great call , Ill have a look at that thanks :happy2:
@Carl
some complain about low light purple banding on TZ10 in reviews but I dont see it being a problem.
I was going to buy the TZ8, but little bit extra gets a newer model + AVCHD vid + bigger LCD
I will never use the GPS as its buggy/slow and drains the battery :signLOL:
for me its a huge step up from the 6MP Sony at a good price point.
will let you know how i get on :happy2:

Excellent YouTube vid - Even showed how to open the box! But... Nothing said about the lens ring except that it clicks... What's that do please? Manual aperture?
Post by: rich83 on February 17, 2011, 10:15:36 am
Lens Control Ring, Full Manual and RAW
The lens Control Ring allows quick access to manual adjustments. Various functions can be controlled by the ring such as zoom, aperture, shutter speed, focusing, ISO or exposure compensation. RAW capture is also possible for post-processing in the supplied Digital Photo Professional software.

Cheers, Rich :drinking: I wish this camera had been available when I bought my FinePix F200EXR - Practical and fast manual controls are what I miss.

Thats a good point actually, I didnt mention that much.
I believe Rickwig83 has answered though, but yes, it can be used manually for a wide range of adjustments. You can set the ring to control whichever setting you choose.
Im new to all this photography stuff though, so may do another video once Ive worked my way round the camera a bit better.....

If your after fast manual controls the only way to get those is with a dslr, anything else will be a compromise. For instance, my Canon g12 has full manual functions, but by the time you've messed around with the small dials altering the shutter speed/aperture (and waited for the camera to respond) you'll have forgotten the reason why you left your house :signLOL:
The "ring" is a good idea, but I expect it to be far from the tactile experience you get with a dslr.

Like lfti, I'm only interested in compact digitals - I've owned Nikon and Canon full-blooded kits and appreciate their superior quality but not their size and weight. This S95 is a similar price to my FinePix and so I don't expect it's going to be a real competitor with the Leica X1. Price isn't everything in judging camera quality, but. I'd bet the price of a new Leica X1 that cmdrfire will have no hesitation in saying how superior the X1 is to the S95 - He loves Leica's and for good reason. I very much like the lens ring functionality though on this type of camera.

Sy/dnLcal - I'm not sure it actually tells you anywhere, but you're suposed to leave the GoPro 3M mounts for 12 hours to cure, then they're solid as a rock. I'd be wary of what you stick them to also, anything textured is a PITA. I know a couple of people with them, and they've had them internal/external with no issues.It wasnt the mount that was a problem as this was bolted to the car, the cam in the case can come off, the pin that you twist to allow it to tilt was the issue, im sure it will be ok on a road car though.
As for the suction mount, I have a tether :happy2:

Don't get me wrong the .:R is great but was never going to be a long term keeper unless my lottery win came up.

Its not too bad Robin. I helped someone fit one yesterday, and as it was the first one it took 2 hours. They are a very snug fit. The fantastic thing about them is that they require no welding. If there was a similar design for the Mk5 Golf it would sell very well.

I think Weichers do fully bolt in 1/2 rear cages for the MK5/6 and Rocco?? Sure the Ring rental ones have them.
Not going to be cheap from Weichers. Good that someone else does them though.
Post by: RedRobin on February 28, 2011, 02:19:40 pm
Also, I've been told that the Weichers are very tricky to take in and out of the Golf. It's why I gave up the idea of a half-cage. Even two hours is a long time to spend imo, though I know it can be said that such time would be much shorter than a spell in hospital or worse.

I suppose you'd get quicker at doing it, I imagine yours would be easier being a more-door too?
But yeah, it's a faff if you're planning on having a removable one.
....Swings vs Roundabouts on the ease of 3-dr vs 5-dr. The 3-dr would give bigger door opening space but the 5-dr gives better access to the whole interior.
I bought this new product from Autoglym today:

Are you sure its new? I've had a bottle of that in the shed for at least the last year ... didn't get any brushes with it to be fair.

The AG spray bottles are pathetic too... the AG Clean Wheels bottle is shocking to use! :mad:
Post by: RedRobin on February 28, 2011, 10:29:47 pm
Its not new.... been available for h-aaaages! :happy2:
The AG spray bottles are pathetic too... the AG Clean Wheels bottle is shocking to use! :mad:
....It is new, even if it is a new version of an older product. There have been press releases about it and Autoglym stockists will confirm to you it's new.
So, what have I got to look forward to re the shockingly bad spray bottles, Rich?
Post by: rich83 on February 28, 2011, 10:32:49 pm
They are good products though... youll be pleased with the results, they just need to sort the bottles out.
(it might be a new kit with the brushes but that AGCW cleaner has been around a while now)

Then I'll have an excuse to wear a pair of those very fetching ultra thin rubber gloves which my friendly VW dealer gave me. If the weather allows I'll have a go tomorrow and report my thoughts.
I've got a phone number so I'll make a call tomorrow and see if I can find out more about if new.

Yes that's a new version of the original wheel cleaner. Just with brushes and a bigger bottle, what was the retail on it?
....£14.99
I wonder if the cleaning solution has new ingredients etc [he said hopefully].

Spec is
Anthracite 2.0TFSi DSG Estate with the Following options:
F&R Sensors
Sunset Glass
Variable Boot Floor
MDI
Bluetooth & Maxidot
MFSW with Paddles
Auto Dimming Mirror, Auto Lights & Rain Sensor
Curtain Airbags
Xenons with AFS
Heated Seats
Leather vRS seats
Will look like the pics below but with black roof bars, not the Chav Silver bars and will have silver wheels (to start with :wink:). It is also a TSi but for some reason Skoda still call them a TFSi :confused:. I was going to go Diseasel but with the VAT off i worked out the extra cost of the Diseasel engine and VAT i could do over 22k miles in the petrol so it's a no brainer.

I presume the cat back exhaust is a direct swap with respect to the bends, not sure about the pipe diameter though, the S3 cooler fits, not to sure about the down pipe though. bens maps on the TSI are meant to be pretty good as well.

R32 Kit
Cooler
Poss EVOMS with a bit of silicone hose jiggery pokery but waiting for clarification.
ARB's

I cant believe how good that 3.0TDI sounds! :drool:
If the 2.7 version could sound as good then I know what I want as my next car...
That sound sucked me in straight away. :notworthy:
I've been driving a 3.0 TDi Quattro A6 for a couple of weeks while mine has been at the doctors again and the sound is awesome.
The problem with the the 2.7 is it is only offered with a Multi-Tronic gearbox which massively reduces 0-60 (6.2 on the 3.0 vs 7.7 on the 2.7) and you cannot specify Quattro on the 2.7. The icing on the cake is that 3.0 has the 7 Speed DSG which is an awesome box.
As for consumption I could easily get 40+ with the A6 and without really trying That's good enough for me. :evilgrin:
So Rich sometimes you need to look a little deeper than headline MPG :evilgrin:

Maybe not, having been pottering around in an A6 with the same engine for a couple of weeks it is quite surprising just how quick they are and with the 7 Speed S-Tronic it's a bit of a weapon. :evilgrin:

Just agree'd deal on this car today, this will be taking over from the Golf's old job of town crawling, and having a well deserved rest. top of the range Hyundia i10 Style.
At £30 a year road tax, and £20 a week in fuel for 200 miles motoring on average, it more then makes it worth purchasing .Insurance is £250 a year fully comp.
for all the bhp chasers in here, it's 77bhp, 72lb ft of torque, and this will be my calculation, has just enough power to make jkm's rollers roll one revolution before needing a new clutch :signLOL:.
And yes I do fit inside behind the wheel. it has as much room in the back as the Golf does :surprised:.

The deal to purchase the 2009 i10 Style has changed.
A big thanks goes to Mr vRStu for stepping in, and making a quick phonecall to his brother, who unbeknown to me, is senior Sales manager at Richmonds of Portsmouth.(Hyundia dealer)
Well ive ended up with a Brand new car order of an 11 plate Hyundia i10 Active. Retails at £8700 normally, and placed the order for a total of £7384!!
Ive decided on Crystal White, with all extra's except sunroof. Cant get over what a great little car this is!.This thing has as much room in the back for rear passengers as the golf :surprised:
This is the new facelift model that was realised on the 1st of March. Has the new engine fitted with VVTi technology. Does an abosolute stonking 61mpg!!, or around 50+ around town.Comes with Full roadside AA cover as part of the package from Hyundia.
Insurance group 2 so its rather cheap to insure :grin: . Road tax is the bit that makes me laugh............... £20 for a full year :signLOL:. Goes up to £30 from year 1 on. 5 year warranty from Manufactures too. Ive arranged Return to invoice for £110 on the t'internet , which in the event of a right -off or car gets stolen, i get the full price back i payed for it at point of sale. So in a part finance agreement , i wont loose out or be out of pocket, should the worse happen.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi154.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fs264%2Fphilmcavity%2Fi10newcar.jpg&hash=de5dbdb0139e496b13fb91e95035246e645e0e1a)
All of 85bhp :pomppomp: but as an economical way of city travel, it doesnt get much better.
Ive put down £2000 cash towards the cost to bring re-payments down, which when i added up the sums, is cheaper to do this rather then burn nearly £200 a month in super unleaded in the golf as a daily car.
Phylis is gonna be basically the weekend fun bus, whilst the i10 will do the school runs, take Mrs Saint to and from work everyweek.
After speaking to Southampton Hyundia again today, they checked out the deal that Portsmouth Hyundia arranged, and its made Richmonds -£7 :signLOL:
So thanks again Stu for your help, and please thank your brother for the very generous business :drinking:

I love 197s, but they look so much better with wheel spacers. At least 20mm is needed to fill the arches properly!
Completely agree with you the wheels look lost in those arches. A set of 20mm spacers were bought 10mins after I was given the keys. :happy2:

I had originally planned to buy a 335d after accidentally test driving one, but lack of any interest in my GTI (bar a few time wasters and a ridiculously low part-ex offer) meant I had to lower my sights. I am still totally chuffed with it though, and can see it fulfilling the family transport duties for many years to come.
The best bit though is that I'm not planning on getting rid of my GTI now, which I'm really rather pleased about :smiley:

I have a 4TB Drive at the moment which I will connect into the back of the NAS via eSATA to backup the most important data to keep off-site, just in case......
Will install a couple of IP cameras around the house in future as well, with the data being saved straight back to the NAS....so much that can be done with the drive... ;)
Also just purchased 3 of these:

Nah I dont have much data, but I can do a lot with this unit - host a website off of it, FTP, and so on.
At some point I want to get some IP cameras on the driveway, maybe one indoors etc, as the NAS has 'Surveillance Station' built in, so can save video etc straight to the NAS.
Also, it has a torrent manager - so can download torents directly to it overnight etc, while my laptop/computer are switched of :wink:
Remember RAID 5 means you pretty much lose the space of a disc for the backup/redundancy.
Once I have 5x3TB drives in there, equalling 15TB, it should give me about 10TB useable space - that will probably last me a lifetime!

Mine just created a knocking noise at low speed. No matter how much I tightened them. I even tried to make an insert to fit in between the hole in the ARB and the bolt on those. But all to no avail. You could jack the car up and wobble the ARB to create the noise. In the end I took them off and put OEM ones back on.
Post by: rich83 on April 24, 2011, 03:04:08 pm
So these dont fit properly? FFS!
Ive just had a look at them and do you mean you couldnt get the arb end tight or the bit that attaches to the rear arm?
Post by: vRS Carl on April 24, 2011, 03:26:27 pm
It's not that they don't fit they do. Basically the bolt that goes through the ARB hole is slightly too thin. But it is not thin enough to fit a poly sleeve over to stop the noise. I tried everything from plastic sheathing, heat shrink, amalgam tape etc. No matter how much I tightened them I couldn't stop it.
Maybe it was just my Eibach bars but the noise annoyed me so I took them off. It must have been bad as even the wife said without me saying anything "what's the knocking noise?"
Try them and see what you think. Like I said it may have just been the eibach bars. But when I put the OEM ones back on the noise stopped.

Post by: vRS Carl on April 24, 2011, 03:48:10 pm
To remove the OEM ones from the rear arm & ARB you need an M6 spline bit to sit inside the bolt whilst you loosen the nut or they jut spin round. It's pretty straight forwards but be careful as the bit the M6 spline fits into may have corroded and if it breaks the only way to get them off is by cutting them off. As I found out :fighting:

They are alloy as well and seem to fit the Golf rear. :wink:
There 110 mm and 170 mm versions. 110 mm alloy and 170 plastic and alloy.
Joints are in rubber of course but pressing in ball joints won't cost as much
as the Neuspeed and BSH links and it doesen't affect the OEM look.

5x2TB HDDs for my NAS....... :happy2:
raid 5?
Im going for Synology Hybrid RAID.
Basically its RAID 5 - so 1 disk redundancy - but if I upgrade 1 of the discs in the future it can make use of the extra space straight away, rather then having to upgrade all 5 disks to use the extra space.
Was just going to go with 3TB disks to start with - but it was costing far too much. 5x2TB will give me around 7.5GB of useable space - which will keep me going for years!
This is my NAS -
Want to use the iTunes server and put all my movies on it for now, so I can stream to my PS3. Then I'll set up an IP camera at some point over the driveway and get the video saved straight to the NAS. Oh and download torrents straight to the NAS without my computer having to be on at all!

can i just ask some advice from anyone with regards to "raiding"??
I think i wanna have 1tb storage over two drives via raid 1. is that a pretty good way of safely storing 1tb of data?
RAID is good for keeping data safe in case you have a drive failure. It is never a true backup in itself.
If the data is also stored elsewhere - backing up your laptop for example, then thats fine. If not, you still need another backup of the data on your NAS, just in case the NAS should be in a fire, or be stolen, or even if the RAID controller decides to play up.
Always remember to backup any data on your NAS onto a re-moveable storage media if you can - external HDDs, and so on.
For example, I will use my NAS to store my movies, images, documents, home movie clips, and so on. I also have an external 4TB drive which I will connect directly to the NAS via eSATA to backup my most important data, and then keep this external disk round my parents house.
On the other hand, if you backup the files on your laptop, via Time Machine for example, if the NAS fails at least you still have a copy of the data on your laptop to use, so creating a backup of the NAS itself isnt as important.
Although RAID covers you should a drive fail, it shouldnt be seen as a complete backup solution. In most cases, it is a single drive that fails, so you can continue to access your data and just replace the drive itself, but always cover yourself with your most important data, just in case!
So:
1. 1 disc fails - covered by RAID so can be replaced without losing data.
2. 2 disks fail - data lost (unless you use RAID 6)
3. RAID controller fails - data lost
4. Drive stolen/destroyed - data lost
Have another backup to hand just in case you are unlucky!

My using the WDIDLE tool from WD you will be able to change this to 5 mins - or switch it off completely.
I was going to use these drives as well, but the more I researched on it, the more reports I read in regards to how these WD Green drives are not suited in a NAS/RAID environment (WD also state this themselves). Then again, on the toher hand there are plenty of people using them perfectly fine!
I went for Samsung Spinpoint F4's instead - were around the same price at the EARS from Scan.co.uk. :wink:

Post by: Richn83 on May 18, 2011, 11:40:17 am
In regards to the Synology - with the EARS drives you may need to use the WDIDLE tool to decrease the cycle count. By default its at 8 seconds - so the disk head parks itself after 8 seconds of inactivity. This is usually not desired for use in a NAS - also considering the recommended lifespan of the disk is 300,000 cycles, you will reach that rather quick.

Thanks for the info IFTI, I read up on all this as well on the synology forum, from what I have seen synology corrected some firmware on the box to support the Caviar green drives, and tested the 20EARS drives thoroughly with DSM3.1, I have been keeping an eye on my LCC and its at just over 1,000 after 100 hours of disk up time, alot of this was caused by the small read and write action during the DSphoto+ processing so I stopped the process and have decided not to use it as it does far to my pre-caching of different images sizes will take my little box getting on for a year to process all the photos I have. Since shutting that down the increase in LCC has been marginal especially as I have the drive set to only boot up and shut down during the evening.
With a different setup and different usage it might be different but so far fingers crossed I dont appear to be having any issues.

In regards to the Synology - with the EARS drives you may need to use the WDIDLE tool to decrease the cycle count. By default its at 8 seconds - so the disk head parks itself after 8 seconds of inactivity. This is usually not desired for use in a NAS - also considering the recommended lifespan of the disk is 300,000 cycles, you will reach that rather quick.
My using the WDIDLE tool from WD you will be able to change this to 5 mins - or switch it off completely.
I was going to use these drives as well, but the more I researched on it, the more reports I read in regards to how these WD Green drives are not suited in a NAS/RAID environment (WD also state this themselves). Then again, on the toher hand there are plenty of people using them perfectly fine!
I went for Samsung Spinpoint F4's instead - were around the same price at the EARS from Scan.co.uk. :wink:
http://www.storagereview.com/how_stop_excessive_load_cycles_western_digital_2tb_caviar_green_wd20ears_wdidle3
Thanks for the info IFTI, I read up on all this as well on the synology forum, from what I have seen synology corrected some firmware on the box to support the Caviar green drives, and tested the 20EARS drives thoroughly with DSM3.1, I have been keeping an eye on my LCC and its at just over 1,000 after 100 hours of disk up time, alot of this was caused by the small read and write action during the DSphoto+ processing so I stopped the process and have decided not to use it as it does far to my pre-caching of different images sizes will take my little box getting on for a year to process all the photos I have. Since shutting that down the increase in LCC has been marginal especially as I have the drive set to only boot up and shut down during the evening.
With a different setup and different usage it might be different but so far fingers crossed I dont appear to be having any issues.
Cool ;)
I tried with the 3TB versions to start with and it wouldnt create a volume very well, so fell back to 2TB discs instead just to be on the safe side. I think using 3TB disks for the moment is a bit touch and go!

5x2TB HDDs for my NAS....... :happy2:
raid 5?
Im going for Synology Hybrid RAID.
Basically its RAID 5 - so 1 disk redundancy - but if I upgrade 1 of the discs in the future it can make use of the extra space straight away, rather then having to upgrade all 5 disks to use the extra space.
Was just going to go with 3TB disks to start with - but it was costing far too much. 5x2TB will give me around 7.5GB of useable space - which will keep me going for years!
This is my NAS -
Want to use the iTunes server and put all my movies on it for now, so I can stream to my PS3. Then I'll set up an IP camera at some point over the driveway and get the video saved straight to the NAS. Oh and download torrents straight to the NAS without my computer having to be on at all!
i just upgraded to http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=183
just waiting on delivery of my drives :D

My old 20GB got the infamous RROD again, 2 years after its trip to Germany to be repaired last time and that was at the end of the 3year warranty. So instead of paying £70 for repair got the 250GB for £159 from John Lewis and the data transfer kit from game for £5 (as I had a tenner on my game card).. Alot quieter than the older one but attracts dust like no tomorrow.

Very happy with these. Apparently The dealers can zero the milage on a short term demo car if its not more than x miles and sell it as a new car. But the wheels and tyres have to be changed if they have done more than 100miles. Sounds like bullsh*t to me but OEM 19's dont come around very often so i didnt query it. Ever get the feeling people will tell you anything?

1988 Mk2 Golf GTI 8V :wink: can't wait!
Is that Schwartz Bleu?
I made a dreadful mistake last year, one of many I hasten to add I tend to act spontaneously, I sold an ultra rare Schwartz Bleu 1991 16v GTI!
The worst thing? After hunting high and low I paid £1900 from an 'enthusiast'. Turned out to be a right dog, spent loads of dosh getting her right, bought a low mileage Mk2 G60 in the meantime then sold it, stupidly, for about £600!
Made a profit on the G60 though, only had 79,000 miles on the clock and I rebuilt the charger for pittance.
The 16v was catagorically one of the best cars I had driven after I had sorted it and I want another!
wife says no!

I have a problem with the local cats using our front flower bed as a toilet! After filling a carrier bag with cat turds last weekend I have found this which is supposed to be Lion Turds that make the cats think a bigger cat has already been there so they opt to go else where.
Not sure if this will deter them but it was £8 so worth a shot if it stops me smelling freshly laid cat sh1t when I am cleaning my wheels! :popcornsoda:
Post by: mattchaps on June 15, 2011, 02:12:26 pm
Seeing that just made my day! Someone is making money by boxing and selling Lion turd Hahahaa!
You have to report back to let us know if it works :grin:

Nice. Going to attempt any kind of heat reflective wrap? Maybe more tricky with the softer flexible nature of the hose.

Bought a smart cover for the front, and a belkin frosted back cover.

Was like brand new back in its box with all plastic wrapping - even the outer shipping box etc as well.
I got a good price - they tend to go for much less now - probably around the £250-300 mark.

Not had much of a play with it yet and i need to read the instructions so that i can use it properly but it does seem to take a lot better pictures than the TZ6.

- Uncompressed format No

Oh and i had a similar pic to that as my desktop wallpaper. In fact if memory serves me they had a software called alienguise or something that you could alter all the icons etc on the system. Might be worth looking at instead of having the standard boring windows icons (if they still do it).

Nice, Are the gold rims OEM?
Post by: MattPoss on June 29, 2011, 09:44:55 pm
Where you getting it from?
You a NE boy?
North West, from Carlisle. Bought the bike from Bradford (girlfriend lives in Leeds so went for a quick look at it on Sunday when I was over there)
Cheers, pick it up on Friday and I can't wait :jumping: :jumping:
Matt

Cheers Keith,
Yeah they are OEM but I think they must have been an option as I've seen others without them. There are various models of the XT660, the X, R and T and the gold wheels only came on the X I think
Roll on Friday!!

It's fairly impressive for a third of a price of an ipad/ipad2 tbh.
It's certainly nowhere near as polished or as authentic feeling as the ipad, but having been impressed with Android on my HTC I wanted another Media storage with it, so it seemed relevant :happy2:

I'd say it's as big as the old 35mm compact cameras you used to be able to buy. Too big for a jeans pocket but will easily fit in a jacket pocket.

I want to get back into photography, but didn't want the expense and outlay of a dSLR which is why I went for the G12. I've got a week off so will spend some time learning to use the camera. I will have to check what my laptop is capable of these days - it's about six years old but happily runs PSP9 and whatever version of Photoshop was around then. Think PSP9 had limited RAW support but will have to look it up.
You will need an up to date version on Adobe Camera RAW... (also, try to 'acquire' a copy of Photoshop CS5)

Post by: stealthwolf on July 03, 2011, 12:02:17 pm
i will be interested to see what you make of it! :happy2:
Me too Stealth. :happy2:
I'll let you guys know. This is my first move from a bog standard P&S into something a bit more advanced (other than when I used to faff around with my dad's SLR).
Initial impressions: At the mo, very sturdy construction - everything feels solid even if the case is plastic. Very easy to get to all of the important functions quickly. It comes with a neck strap which is a bit OTT for this type of camera - will be looking into buying a suitable wrist strap for it. The articulated screen is very useful and can see how much it'll be helpful in getting awkward shots. Has a hotshoe so it'll accept the speedlite flashes, and a socket for a remote shutter release. Very good at macro and I can believe the claim of focussing from 1". Will get some pics up this week.
You will need an up to date version on Adobe Camera RAW... (also, try to 'acquire' a copy of Photoshop CS5)I have PS CS2. Updated the Camera RAW but it still won't open the CR2 files. I'm having a bash with adobe's DNG converter at the moment. Not worried about "acquiring" so much as whether it'll run on my laptop! :grin:
You may be able to get away with Photoshop Elements Stealth. :smiley:Thanks for the tip. Will see if it'll run. :happy2:

^ Mackie Onyx audio interface. To replace my Novation XioSynth 49-key synth and midi controller which I've only been using as a sound card between my Mac and Mackie mixer. The XioSynth will be for sale.
Much more info and review here: http://www.harmonycentral.com/docs/DOC-1621

That looks mega robin, and fairly priced too. Let me know how you get on with it, ive been looking at buying one for a while :happy2:
....You really can't go wrong with Mackie gear. More expensive and better designed than the likes of Behringer and M-Audio but they don't fail or fall apart!
My Mackie 6 mixer is purrfect for both desktop and gigs. I bought the Blackjack from Absolute Music Solutions in Poole - £131 and they give full advice on what gear suits your individual needs. It's too easy to buy the wrong gear!
My new iMac arrived yesterday but was DOA (Dead On Arrival) :sad1: - A replacement is on its way. The Blackjack should arrive on Monday. I'll let you know all about it. Meanwhile, do any of your muso fwends want to buy a mint condition Novation synthesiser/controller by any chance? I haven't put the word out here yet.

Had a listen to them in the shop and even though the bloke was trying to tell me that some smaller speakers (Which were £130 more expensive) were better, to me the sound seemed a lot warmer from these than the others (Which were Bose Music Monitor Speakers)

I'd read all the hype etc and thought ok it's good but is it really that good. Well all i can say is absofcukinglutley. It's like the difference between a Standard GTi and a Twin Turbo Lambo Gallardo. The MBP starts up in about 10 secs (not timed). But the really big difference is launching of Apps. It's instantaneous. Even my VM starts up in about 10 secs.
There really is now no need to buy another MBP for a few years with how fast this thing makes the machine. If you are contemplating this i can't recommend it enough. :happy2:

I know Solid state is tres cool.
Was talking to local computer shop other week and he suggested unless spending mega bucks you're not going to match a high performance HDD?
Germany is generally alot more expensive though.
Are SSD coming down in price now?
Post by: vRS Carl on July 24, 2011, 09:17:25 pm
I had a 500gb 7200rpm drive in before that. I can guarantee you that SSD will wipe the floor with any HDD.
The guy obviously doesn't know what he is talking about. Ask him to show you a HDD that will Saturate a SATA II connection. This SSD won't perform at its stated speed as it is SATA III (but backwards compatible). It's capable of read speeds of 550mb/sec and 520mb/sec write speed. I'm my MBP with SATA II it will perform at around 285mb/sec for both. Still way way faster than any HDD

^ They're designed mostly for binoculars/monoculars but will support a small camera. Very steadying and lightweight to carry. I don't think that the tripod function would be much good on a full size DSLR. Perfect for a compact, and in pistol grip mode it makes the smaller camera controls much easier: Pistol grip firmly in left hand and right hand free for all controls (assuming you're right handed). Cost about £20. I got mine from someone I know who specialises in binoculars, scopes, camouflage gear etc.

Looking good robin. Im slowly getting to grips with Logic... but i think I'm confusing myself by watching too many youtube clips.
I think I've figured out what the bus' does :signLOL:
....We probably need a dedicated section or at least a new thread for any discussions about Logic!
Logic is a bit like Photoshop inasmuch as each person only uses the parts which apply to them individually and extremely few folks use every single feature on offer. For me, a Bus is perfect for independently controlling how much effect is applied and also varying it if desired. Also for applying to separate tracks within the song.

It's their system for adjusting rideheight and locking the rideheight that dissapoints me. Surely they could have done better than using fiberarmed plastic and a roundshaped tool for the adjustment. Really looking forward to using the Bilsteins BigAl :drinking:

....Agreed. Bilstein have the edge due to ease of adjustability. But if you're someone like me who doesn't change his suspension setup as it's on the sweetspot, then there's nothing in it compared to KW, imo. Both are the market leaders.

Carl, how much was the shed/where from? how secure is it?
It's a 6'x4' Keter Shed that came from Tesco Direct (Cheapest place once delivery was taken into account) for £255 delivered (you can select delivery date too)
It is secure enough. It's only plastic so it "could" be cut open but you would hear them at it unless your away/sleep like a brick. It is sturdy enough and is weather proof. It also gets 8.9 out of 10 on revoo.com. But as it is only to stop the thieving bar stewards from nicking my lawnmower/BBQ etc I'm not overly concerned on the security. Out of sight out of mind and all that. Although the padlock is nearly as expensive :grin:
If your wanting to put things securely in it then you can get metal reinforced ones that are a lot more expensive. However i would just recommend a metal shed if your going to do that.
Keep an eye out on Hot UK deals as they sometimes crop up on there for a lot less.
Here it is on Tesco Direct

30 Minutes worth should do the trick. The lads in work are in for a surprise :evilgrin:
Post by: stealthwolf on August 06, 2011, 04:55:06 pm
I'm after a new sauce. At the mo, I use Dave's Temporary Insanity Pepper sauce. The great thing about it is the spiciness. The crap thing is the delay. If I cook something using Dave's anad eat it, with each mouthful, there's no initial heat. Normally, once I've eaten something and then swallowed it, the heat then begins to start and can be enough to drive a man crazy. Whilst I don't mind going crazy, it's frustrating that whilst the food is in my mouth, there's very little heat and it's from the green chillies or whatever else I've used.
Anyone have suggestions for a better chilli sauce? I want something that makes the food taste spicy as soon as I put into my mouth and then lingers for at least half an hour after eating.

Don't like in-ear 'phones. I bought some MX 980's not long ago and they are awesome.

Best place to get one? Flashaholics do the SR51 for £129, but 4Sevens do it for $145 with free international delivery and a free 18650 carrier, too. Haven't checked the exchange rate recently, but that has to work out cheaper?

I must be missing something here too.... I don't get the torch fetish thing at all.
We all have our fetishes. Mine just happens to be Torches and Knives :evilgrin:
A good torch is like a good camera and you need certain torches for certain tasks. I'd look a bit daft with a Mini Maglight on my rifle and rather than blind someone momentarily it would just about illuminate their face so I can see the smile on it as they pump lead into me. On the flip side I would struggle to read a map covertly using an 800 lumen torch. Hence I have a red Innova Microlight to map read with.

I can appreciate a nice watch or time piece as they are reffered to but I also hate the metal strap feeling in my wrist. I just ruin them anyway after a drink or several anyway so best sticking to watches under £100 for the time being. :ashamed:

Are their any decent unbiased reviews anywhere?

Is a bump steer kit really that much of a difference. I listened to all the hype about WALK and fitted it to find it made naff all difference. Now either I'm a sh*t hot driver and should replace Webber at RedBull :laugh: or it's not something that is worthwhile on a road car.

The handling is already sublime on the Skoda's, this is why you could not feel the walk kit. And why, your amazing car just doesn't need a bump steer kit. :P

Know what you mean about hype & miracle mods.
My steering felt more weighted after the walk, had a more positive self centring effect, was happy at that.
After bump steer handling feels improved but I lost alot of weight at the front at the same so hard to say where the difference was made.
No doubt Steves track antics will show a clearer difference. :happy2:

Dunno. It's a fooking good LED in it. Wether it's 800 lumens or not I don't know as never measured it but it's the brightest torch I have. The Fenix TK40 is 630 lumens and it is noticeably brighter than that.
I have 2 sure-fire torches bought on my travels, and they are fantastic bits of kits, real top of the Bergan stuff along with the Scran repair kit!.............

Dunno about demo but there is a multiplayer option but I think it's online. Not played it yet.
I was looking at getting one of those cameras so let me know how you get on with it.

....At that price level I'd also have a serious look at the FinePix F500EXR, Carl :happy2:
For what it's worth I'm extreeeemely happy with mine. Whichever compact you get, I strongly recommend a pistol grip - Makes a huge difference in being able to control/select settings and keeps the camera steadier.

I'll have my F500EXR with me (as always) at JKM's Dyno-Day if you're interested in checking it out, mate :happy2:
You can borrow it while we are there and take some pics - Just as long as you include some pics of me :grin:

I read some reviews on the Fuji and wasn't that impressed with it to be honest which was why I got the Nikkon. I read a few reviews on the Canon yesterday and it apparently has the best "from the camera" picture quality without any use of photo editing software.
But I'll have a look on the RR day of you don't mind as sometimes these reviews can be biased depending on who is writing it. :happy2:

There's so much more to do in life than play computer games. It always makes me think that unless playing other people as a social sport it's a very sad reflection of someones inability to enjoy life. Do I sound like a 60-year-old? Well I am, so :P

Robin I usually ignore your posts when you spout claptrap. But your saying that everyone who plays a computer game has an inability to enjoy life :confused: I enjoy my life to the full, as do a lot of my work colleagues, and I play computer games (mainly driving games) to unwind as do they. I don't play against other people as i play them at home. Your being pretty narrow minded to assume, and tar everyone, that plays a computer game as unable to enjoy life!

Everyone has their past time. Some people think it's sad to talk about cars or modify them - they see it purely as a form of transport. Some think gyms are a waste of time. Hell, some people don't like electricity!

....Yeah, part power monkey, part poser, and part control freak :happy2:
There's a certain amount of functional overlap between my Novation hardware controller, very specialised Apps on the iPad, the Mac qwerty keyboard, and the TrackPad. But they each do things slightly differently and one method will suit editing a setting better than one of the others. Also, it does reduce the work of the cursor. It's part of fluid workflow.
None of it guarantees my music is any better but it's all part of having fun.

But they each do things slightly differently and one method will suit editing a setting better than one of the others. Also, it does reduce the work of the cursor. It's part of fluid workflow.
None of it guarantees my music is any better but it's all part of having fun.

13.3" MacBook Air, 1.8Ghz i7 processor, 4GB Ram, 256GB SSD. 3yr Apple Care. :happy2:
Its been quite a learning curve to move to MAC from Windows, but I am getting there......slowly. I never quite mastered iTunes on other laptops/pc's, but I'm sure it will get easier with time.
TBH I am contemplating going to the Apple store one day and getting some tuition. The guy there told me I could get help anytime I feel like it (apart from weekends when they are uber-busy)
Also got the Magic Mouse :drool:

The Senna film/documentary is quality. You need to concentrate cause alot of the footage is quite old. I thought I'd been watching 10 minutes but it had been on 50! What a sad loss of such a massive talent.

That's the one. I found it quite insightful. I'm too young to remember any of the history around that time, although I remember Imola very well. It's sounds like there are lots of other interesting documentaries to further my interest in that era.

http://community.evo.co.uk/users/Monkey-Harris/blogs/index.cfm/2011/10/12/CHRIS-HARRIS-SENNA-The-Movie-Why-it-falls-short
That's the one. I found it quite insightful. I'm too young to remember any of the history around that time, although I remember Imola very well. It's sounds like there are lots of other interesting documentaries to further my interest in that era.
....Yes, I found that review very valid too, inspite of not having seen the movie yet. What Chris Harris had to say made a lot of sense.
I can remember F1 waay before Senna. I was around the likes of Jim Clark, Jackie Stewart, Graham (not son Damon) Hill, Jochen Rindt, Jack Brabham, etc etc.

Robin you probably remember watching Giuseppe Farina :laugh:
....Is that the same Farina who was a body stylist?
I remember having Dinky Toys which were the cars of Fangio's era: Maserati, ERA, etc, then later Vanwall. It's where my love of Ferrari originated, plus riding in plenty of different Ferrari roadcars.

THX RR, looking forward to recieving them, really taken a fancy for the TD's after i bought the first set. Even though i find the 19" Audi BBS/Speedlines splits to be some of the best looking wheels, i find the 18" the best size for the golf, and when fitted the TD's suits it well :smiley:

Very handy! I've read about dozens of Milltek failures and their aftersales service leaves something to be desired it would seem...
Agreed. If an aftermarket part is more susceptible to failure that the OEM equivalent, one has to ask ones self whether thats a smart purchase or not.
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on November 04, 2011, 08:27:20 pm
The revised version has he replaceable bracket. As they've realized there's a design flaw it's a shame they don't replace them as a.goodwill gesture or at least at reduced cost.

Here's the production line version of it which was used in the paint shop Check & Repair area at Nissan, my first job there. As said, it needs a steady hand, even more so when the car body is constantly moving a car length every minute or less. In skilled hands it can be part of an arsenal of tools to turn a "dog" into a Paris/Geneva motorshow car- believe me, I've done it plenty! :wink:
In essence it's just a flat chisel made of tool steel but the angles it's ground at and the angle of attack are critical to doing a quick repair or consigning a car to a much more prolonged spot repair.
This one has been totally abused since I left Nissan, I wouldn't put it anywhere near a body now!

John

Ha cheers stealth!!! It only took me 6 months to realise I was driving a Clio lol.
Unfortunately there wont be a detailing thread as the car is immaculate even if the previous owner was allergic to tyre shine (cough cough Rob) :) But there will be plenty of pics up soon as I have a number of locations in mind. I'm even gonna push the boat out and go for a night shoot!!!
You were early picking it up, that was next on the to do list :innocent:

....Yes I have heard Bob Mintzer but he's a bit too jazzy for me. I prefer the late Michael Brecker and some of the more funky players.

Is it your first iPad, Andrew? I mainly use mine alongside my Mac rather than on the road. There are some great Apps if you choose carefully.
Koenig & Meyer have asked me to write an online review of their iPad cradle system - Should be ready later next week.

No, I've got one already. I was just getting tired of my wife nabbing it for her commute to Manchester so I bought her a 3G one :grin:
Getting rather frustrated at the wait for a new iPhone though. I don't understand why, when they release a new product, they don't build enough to satisfy initial demand. If Apple products weren't so ingrained in my life I'd have probably gone elsewhere.

....Apple very consciously, as do many other companies nowadays, try to be as efficient as possible and not risk over stocking products. Most Apple products are built primarily to demand and there is always only a limited stock on the shelf - The minimum they think they can get away with. There is an element of risk that a customer might go elsewhere but most of us born in Macdom are loyal to the brand because we like what they produce. I didn't even stop to consider any other tablet - In fact until recently I didn't know anyone else made them. Same with any other product which Apple produce - For me it's a no-brainer.

Mike, babies/children aren't always expensive. Too many parents buy stuff which simply isn't needed. Especially on a first born.

....If you feel like that, don't wait until you think you can afford it or it'll never happen. It isn't about the money.
I didn't particularly want kids and wasn't a dad until I was 44yo and I have no regrets - In fact, quite the contrary. My (ex) wife was much younger than me - A tradition in my family.

Yeah I know, but it's going to be hard not to spoil her. That said, neither of us were spoilt and are very grounded, so it should follow suit.
She does however need a kart, I'll make a racing driver out of her if it bankrupts me!!

Also congrats on Isabel! Totally agree with what RR has said about unnecessary spending on children. I think its more the younger parents that waste more on designer gear which will be grown out of within months and not that they care that they're wearing £40 designer Nikes.
Also ordered a jacket seen as the cold is closing in. Been reduced on Asos from £65 to £52 to £45.50.

... a magnificent account of British aviation, when a new Elizabethan age seemed to have dawned of supersonic derring-do ... brimful of racy incident and exquisitely written ... this book stands out as a hymn to Jet Age glory days, and a marvel of reminiscence besides.' --Ian Thomson, Evening Standard
Quote
Empire of the Clouds is a splendid, meticulous and stylish story of wonderful machines and the men who made them. It is also a tale of fudging, incompetence, malice, complacency and ignorance. It is a story of defeat snatched from the jaws of victory. It is a very British tale indeed.' --Michael Bywater, The Independent

Hit the sales yesterday for some more outdoor gear. Bought some boots, some fleece lined troosers, a fleece jacket, a pair of gloves, 2 pairs of Brasher socks, a hat and a Polartec neck gaiter thingy for £212. Full retail would've been £355. Pictures I cannae be doing with as there are 8 items there!

How much did the mounts and vents set you back.
What are the supposed benefits of the mounts?
The Bruce Suggested the rubber from the RS3 may be stiffer than that of the Gti/Cupra. at 65k miles its worth replacing as a matter of course (for me, Im a bit anal about servicing) and hopefully there will be an improved feel
I bought the parts from Audi with 19% discount. A set of top mounts and brake vents was 120€ With all the fittings :happy2:

3 x Lakeview cutting hand pads
1 x Nanolex Premium Glass Polish
1 x Nanolex Ultra Glass Sealant (Apparently lasts 18mths+ we shall see)
I tried Xtravue but it's crap. Has lasted about 5 weeks (RainX lasts longer!) and I applied it as per to the instructions to the letter. The Nanolex gets rave reviews so will see how it goes.

Post by: B3n on December 01, 2011, 11:50:49 pm
My father has always said he wanted a Ducati but didn't really like the last few they have brought out but the 1199 caught his eye and after looking at one in the NEC on the weekend he was sold. As soon as the dealer opened on Monday he had his order placed. Imo the bike is a work of art to look at :drool: :drool: :drool: it knocked the socks off every other bike in the show must of spent a good hour just looking at it. The order is for a basic Panigale as tbh anything else will be wasted on my old man as he will probably spend more time cleaning it than riding it (thats where I come in :wink:) I quite like the look of the Tricolore model though but tbh I think if he bought one the novelty would soon wear off and he'd end up wishing he got a red one, in the same kinda way as someone who has bought a Yellow Ferrari instead of red :laugh:

Nice Carl... I've yet to buy mine yet.
Do they have a decent amount of lip protection?
Where from and how much?? Camskills seems cheapest.
I got them from Blackcircles. When fitting etc was factored in it wasn't much difference between the two and i only had to drive 2 miles to one of their premier fitting places. I think it worked out about £5-10 cheaper than Camskill with a bit of discount.
I paid £540 fitted for 4 x 225/40/18's
They do seem to have a fair amount of rim protection. More so than the Dunlop Sport Maxx GT that they replaced. Initial drive and they seem a lot quieter especially around the back end. Which means the wife can hear my Back end more now :grin:

Do things which have been given free of charge but which you had offered to pay for, count in this thread?
I'll assume yes for now and so here are 3 things I've been given today:
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fb308%2FRedRobin_05%2FSamsung_SpinpointF3.png&hash=92830eb491bfcb3d41ce934bd6d8b5f77cc92d9d)
^ Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB eSATA HD
Creating music results in lots of HD space being needed - Not just for Logic projects storage but the huge sample and instrument libraries which Logic can access. I've got two Thunderbolt ports going begging on my Mac but there's a shortage of external drives and they still cost megabucks. My local computer shop advised that buying a separate eSATA HD and casing would be a good solution and get around the current world shortage and hence high pricings. So I asked him over a week ago to get me a price for either a Seagate or Western Digital and said that even if his price was more than online, providing the price difference wasn't huge I would buy from him.
As I wasn't impressed about not hearing from him for nearly 10 days (he has my email) and went into the shop yesterday morning and expressed my disappointment sternly but without being rude. Unfortunately he took offence and said he didn't like being spoken to in such a manner and I said that he would do well to remember I was a customer who was just being honest about how I felt and that other customers would surely also feel the same though most would vote with their feet rather than give him the feedback. When I apologised and suggested we start our conversation again he said no! And that he didn't want to ever sell me anything in the future! I was so flabbergasted I remained routed to the spot. I eventually left the shop calmly but saying that it really wasn't the way for any shopkeeper to conduct business.
In the evening, after shop hours, I received a profuse apology from him (he's the shop owner) and would I please drop by the shop later today because he had something he wanted to give me by way of apology. He obviously calmed down and had realised that this is a small town and I know a very diverse and large number of people here indeed - Word of mouth can be powerful.
:xmaspresent: Anyway when I went in today he handed me a very heavy jiffy bag and inside was the Samsung Spinpoint HD.... As a gift! He said he had been given it as a christmas gift by a supplier he buys lots of laptops from and he didn't want to put it through his books and it coincided with my need.
He can't supply me the case I want (being a Mac enthusiast hardwired into eye-candy) so I'll buy that online - FireWire 800 for now.
:xmaspresent: The other freebie was a bottle of Castrol oil to top up my car from my VW dealer.
:xmaspresent: Another indirect freebie I was offered today and have accepted is a new version of a Logic App for my iPad - Would I be a tester for the beta version and be given the final version free? Of course! I already know the developer and he's a very established professional in California with a well established reputation and highly rated music rack hardware products.
Christmas has come early! :tree: :santa: :tree:

£65 10 days ago, £130 today plus a nice little estimate of £230 for some dental work.
Plus the ongoing costs of his Insulin and syringes.
Not necessarily a recent purchase more an ongoing expense. :ashamed:

Robin... I've got a FW800 enclosure with 2x1TB drives in it, and its rapid! FW800 will be perfect for you, i wouldn't hang around waiting for thunderbolt drives to reduce in price. :happy2:
....I know - I'm no longer waiting for Thunderbolt drives but was considering it once upon a time. FW800 is plenty fast enough to load sample sounds into Logic, especially via my Mac's processor. Besides, with an independently fitted eSATA I would probably only have to change the casing to one with a Thunderbolt port if I wanted to in the future.
I might go for a rack enclosure system so I can expand later. Which have you got?

Western digital my book studio II... The speed is almost as good as an internal drive.
....I would have bought either a Seagate or a Western Digital but not a WD 'Green' drive which automatically spins lower to save energy <--- A very bad idea if it decides to do so because you have merely paused during a Logic session. Rather like the auto switch off at traffic lights with some modern cars :sick: But reading technical reviews with scientific bench tests the Samsung F3 Spinpoint is right up there and it was freeeeeeeeeeeee! :jumpmove:
Most enclosures to take 2 drives require that the drives are identical and fitted together, so that shuts off that option. If I need another drive in the future I'll buy a Seagate plus separate enclosure - Or go and insult my local shopkeeper and get another free one!

I've already got a R5 & R7 and wanted one of these for ages. My local has had them for ages now and do them for the same price as American Golf, but I managed to find it for £50 cheaper :jumping:

Sounds like you got a good deal, sure mine will be up for sale if the S is a good improvement, which it looks like it will be going off the reviews.
The 3w is very good but id wait for the new ballblizter first as they are getting huge reviews, plus there will be a S 3w too

Hope its genuine as there is little mark up in Golf clubs , to be £50 cheaper would mean the seller is making no profit. Where did you get it from for £50 cheaper than American golf and what price ?

I'm not sure they are designed to be used with the walk console. You'll end up with twice the amount of adjusted caster. :-/

It's for making IPA wipe. Mix it 50/50 with distilled water and you use that to wipe panels after polishing before sealing and waxing. You also are supposed to do it to wheels before applying Gtechniq C1 so you get a better bond.

Very clever addition to the tool set.
A 3 " long ratchet that accepts any 1/4" drive bit. Very handy for getting into tight spaces, also comes with a 1/4" square drive adaptor.

Very clever addition to the tool set.
A 3 " long ratchet that accepts any 1/4" drive bit. Very handy for getting into tight spaces, also comes with a 1/4" square drive adaptor.

Specs? Variable zoom? Illuminated Recticle?
I had a 3-9x50mm Hawke Scope years ago for my .22. Lovely piece of kit and good value for money. :happy2:
It's a Hawke Airmax EV Scope. The Extreme View (EV) gives 20% wider FOV compared to a traditional scope. It's also designed for Airguns which is what i was after as it is going on my .22 Rifle. Specs are:
EV Optics
4 - 12x40mm
MAP6 Reticle (which is compatible with Ballistic Reticle Calculators)
Adjustable Objective Focus down to 10 Yards
1/4 MOA Low Profile Turrets
Not had chance to Zero it yet. But when it is Zeroed it gives you fast target acquisition from 25-45yards without altering the elevation turret. I didn't want an illuminated reticle scope as personally i don't think they are needed for an air rifle. I have a Red Dot sight i can use in low light if needed. But as i only go bunny hunting etc with it when i want a Rabbit Stew i don't need an illuminated reticle.
I also have a Nikko Sterling 3-9x40mm Scope. But after looking through this today i will probably sell it on. :happy2:

Along with it, a Whispbar, I haven't had a chance to fit it yet but will report out on it with pictures and I may even do a video review of it in action to test out the sound levels. It's supposed to be a lot quieter than other bars including other aero bars and more fuel efficient. Looks like a quality bit of kit.

Gonna add more to it as time goes on, and add the wifi link so i can control all the lights via my iphone :notworthy:

If so chuck it in the bin :wink:
You need to spend £45+ (I think they are still this price) for a proper Foam Lance. The metal valve regulates the air mixture with the soap which makes the foam.
My lance can squirt out the thickest foam known to man if needed……(thats not a euphemism) :ashamed:
I bought my Lance off ebay along with 5L of cherry snow foam from these guys……

was very close to getting another ed30 but in the end fancied something different and a bit smaller for London, so ended up with this 2007 jcw stage 1 cooper s, only 20k miles on the clock with every available jcw performance and carbon fibre bits they do.
not had much chance to drive it with the snow and work but been great fun so far.

How you finding the new turbo engine? Had a cooper s works myself and loved it
loving it too so far, i would say performance is on par with my old ed30 (stock mode) and the noise from the jcw exhaust is certainly more vocal than the miltek resonated tbe I had, but its the way they handle that I like so much - very rigid and nimble.

Haha good man :happy2: I'm just about to purchase the exact same set up, Burton Clash 160 with mission bindings :laugh: You had a chance to use it yet?? If you dont mind where did you get them and did you get a good deal? I was looking to purchase from TSA
Ben
Post by: Creatz on February 09, 2012, 11:53:07 pm
The board i bought from a guy who won it in a raffle. Still sealed in the box, £150! so i got myself an absolute steal,
i was riding 2009 clash before it, and its one of the best all round boards you can get for the money.
i also had 2009 mission bindings on my last board and its just such a great package, they work so well together.
So i stuck to the same setup,2012 Limited edt Restricted Mission Bindings, and 160 Burton Clash 2012
The bindings i paid £125 from SS20 Oxford ,I've spent loads of money with these guys in the past so they look after me.
SS20 is a small snowboard/skate shop in centre of Oxford with superb advice and knowledge and great after sale support,if anything goes
wrong or breaks they go to all lengths to sort it for you.
http://www.ss20.com/
i found some links to the bindings and boards on there site.
Cobalt Blue
http://www.ss20.com/snowboarding-c2/bindings-c18/burton-burton-mission-bindings-cobalt-blue-p5471
Black
http://www.ss20.com/snowboarding-c2/bindings-c18/burton-burton-mission-restricted-bindings-nightraid-p5463
and they have Clash reduced
http://www.ss20.com/snowboarding-c2/snowboards-c6/burton-burton-clash-snowboard-158cm-p5292
i would say from when i saw you, your about a 158 160 board.
If you Give SS20 a call and tell them you know Paul who bought the burton board bag and mission bindings on Wednesday
I'm sure they will look after you and match the price they gave me and do you a deal on the board as well.
There good bunch of lads down there and they do offer free delivery but i like to go in there and nosey about,
there help and advice is second to none mate :happy2:
Post by: Creatz on February 09, 2012, 11:56:17 pm
it will ride like a dream with plenty of forgiveness for mistakes.

Post by: B3n on February 10, 2012, 11:05:48 am
I will give them a call to discuss further but £150 :surprised: blooming heck you did get a bargain wish I could find deals like that :ashamed:
Yeah i'm around the 158-160 mark, that's what im going to look into 160 would be my ideal size but I could go down to a 158 without a problem. I was even given a 150 as a rental in Bansko last week :stupid: I was also looking into the Custom bindings which I see SS20 have on sale down to £108.00 again decision's decisions I have a feeling these will be too soft for me. I'm off to Tamworth on Tue for a few hours on the slope and a look in TSA so im gonna see if I can get a demo whilst im there. This is gonna be my first Snowboard i've purchased so I wanna make sure it's right :happy2:

Yeah, car is doing good mate,he loves it.
back to the boards, if you got a TSA local, then ask to borrow a couple of demo boards
and then shop about mate,sometimes SS20 might be slightly more,but they do Price match if you can
show them where,and you would also be buying from a company that doesn't lose interest in its customer
Once the sale is done and dusted :happy2:

The thing is Ian i saw him after the RR on Sat. He drove past so i pulled out to go alongside and just say hello. He decided this meant i was after a race :confused:
So off he went (not very quickly either for a mapped K04 i might add :P) and got all excited because he beat an Octavia Estate (with roof bars) that wasn't trying to keep up :stupid: :indifferent:

Its what I do for a living mate, I sell Vintage Tamiya and Kyosho parts (CArs, Planes/Helis/boats etc :happy2:
Although I am not the best to ask for prices as I generally only know vintage stuff, I used to have a large collection of Vintage Tamiya and Even larger collection of vintage kyosho cars (along with a 1/5th FG which was geared for about 100mph :evilgrin:) but sold them all (around 48 cars) over the last 18 months to make room for other things.

By the way, did you spell Tamiyaman wrong on purpose? I had an Avante like you avatar back in the day. Crashed it so many times it was a whole new car by the time I got shot of it. Lighter wheels, more powerful motor, carbon chassis and prop shaft, alu gearbox housings, Tamiya hop up shocks etc.

By the way, did you spell Tamiyaman wrong on purpose? I had an Avante like you avatar back in the day. Crashed it so many times it was a whole new car by the time I got shot of it. Lighter wheels, more powerful motor, carbon chassis and prop shaft, alu gearbox housings, Tamiya hop up shocks etc.
Yes I spelt it wrong deliberately its supposed to be TamiyOman as thats the same as my name on an RC cliub site :happy2:
Used to have 7 Avantes myself all built from new parts (new Built) and displayed on my shelf, I kept them until people started offering me silly money for them, so they went as i got offered good money, I remember one of them sold for £1000 which was new built and had the box with it, now you can buy a re-release NIB kit from HK for £270 retail.

Mine got broke a lot as a bunch of us bought r/c cars and raced them in the work car park. When you drive an r/c car into the tyre of a real one the latter always wins dunnit...

Fuel pump Steve :happy2:
I'm abit bemused that's all mark, We did some data logging on her car on tuesday. She has no plans for stage 2+ but seems abit of an excessive purchase when the car is performing spot on, with no running/timing or fuelling issues causing an actual running fault.
Her Revo stage 2 map is requesting 129.99 and the stock fuel pump is only delivering 115 at best.
If this is a requirement of a stage 2 from Revo, it makes Revo a very expensive way of going stage 2 :confused:
seems abit of a rip off that Revo write their maps in this way, when my Bluefin car with same mods ( except brakes :congrats:) requests 109.99, and performs the same on the road as her Revo car. Also boost levels are nearly the same comparing both maps that I've logged,so just abit surprised she is wanting to spend such a large ammount on such a small gain in the real world.
......this is of course you may of had a change of heart since I saw you Tuesday .. :signLOL:
Post by: simonp on February 23, 2012, 02:50:27 pm
He doesn't go fast enough to warrant bigger brakes! :P
You mean need bigger brakes? A stage 1, 2 whatever car will get to 70mph quicker driven on the road, but that doesn't mean it'll stop slower, does it? I had all this crap on an Astra forum when I owned one. Had my car remapped and everyone said 'ooh, you'll be needing bigger brakes now'. Err, no I won't. My car's no heavier and will be driven at the same speeds as it was before the remap...

A sustained fuel cut from 2.6krpm to 6k rpm, starting at about 6bar and rising to almost 40bar difference when you should never have more than 5bar difference max, isn't something i would want to run around with!
I agree that the REVO map requests too much fuel at Stage 2. But she can either upgrade the pump, go back to stage 1, turn the boost right down or change maps.

Surely why dont revo run at 119.99.Why cant Revo adjust the remap? Or is it "theres nothing wrong with a revo map, it must be you car " answers that Revo had out?
The OEM pump can't flow more than 115bar sustained and you answered your own question. :happy2:
When Mandy spoke to them they told her the OEM pump can flow 120-130bar no problem :grin: :grin:
If they had said that to me i'd have asked why they recommend a pump for Stage 2+ then as it requests the same fueling :stupid:
Post by: vRS Carl on February 23, 2012, 04:02:38 pm
I am stage 2 and have been for over 3 years now no uprated pump on my car and it's done over 60k on stage 2
Your map may request a different fuel load if it's over 3yrs (unless you have had it updated). You also may not have the same level of fuel cut.
But as i said i wouldn't wan't the car to be requesting 129.99bar and only giving 90bar and continue driving it like that

The logs were done to try and find out why Mandys car was set to Timing 2 by JKM as they also drew a blank as to why. They 1st advised her to replace her Twintake with another make of cold intake, which she has done now to an Evoms, and still this persists.. (thankyou for the Twintake Mandy :wink:)
Im not sure on the full cost of an APR fuel pump and fitting etc, but isnt it worth speaking to Revo as to whether there is a map that doesnt request as much without dropping to stage1...
Sorry to Mandy for talking about this, but im just abit confused, doesnt take much i know :grin:, but im just interested to know :happy2:

What do you think she phoned them for :confused: a friendly chat to see how the business is going :grin:
As ever with REVO it's not the code it's the car. All they will say is turn the boost right down or just don't use full throttle.
I don't know what you consider smooth but last time i was in it (just after fitting the twintake) then it certainly wasn't smooth and you could feel the car holding back.

So would i and go elsewhere. But then Mandy would have thrown circa £700 down the drain so she may as well stick with it.
she can still return the fuel pump im sure, but that is really poor on Revo's part. Its clear to see what the issue is, but they arent willing to adjust her code to solve the issue without going another stage.

Edit ... from what i gather she's had abit of a result in the cost of the fuel pump, so at least she wont loose out when she decides to sell it on i guess.. Still bad Juju on Revo though. Never had an issue with

One .:R36 Omanyt Alloy with free Dunlop Sport 235/40/18

Do they fit Golfs?
The R36 wheels are 8J Simon. :smiley:

I like the Speedlines because of the offset giving the car a wider track. These will look virtually the same, but more OEM innit! :jumpmove:

I did look at that one longingly, but its release had meant that the SL400a had dropped in price and became a lot more sensible. Got it for 80 quid and it was summat like £130 before the 910 came out...

Mike did you ever see one of those BBQ igniters in Germany that's like the element out of a kettle which plugs into the mains? Brilliant as you don't need fire lighters which taint the food. :-)

the quantum wasnt too bad but the other incarnations havent really grabbed me, they are nice enough though but possibly just a bit gimmicky if thats possible with tag
last gimmick fail with them was hamilton, the 007 doesnt even come close to that, but maybe i think the 007's just arent...well...posh?

^ Shure SRH 940 Professional Monitoring Reference Headphones. Closed-back etc etc etc etc.
Stunning detail in the sound delivery - Phat but with no loss of separation or range. They really match my studio reference monitors.
This is Shure's first venture into the headphone market and professionals are saying that they are as good as some headphones which cost over £1,000.

It reminds me a lot of Megs Endurance Tyre Gel - similar consistency but smells like blueberries I think. Unlike AG bumper car or PB NLD, it actually seems to remove dried on wax residue. Only tested it on a small part of the rear door trim so far.

Will let you know when I apply it this weekend. Shall I bring some along when I come down?

No more sh*te up the side of the car. It gives a nice Matte sheen (so no good if you want shiny) and lasts same as all the others I've tried. I still have a bottle of Megs Endurance too but not used it for a while.

Nath, does it make a difference leaving tyre gel on overnight before buffing?
Once again, my new wheels weren't fitted today. (been out with the family all day) :sad1:
Anyway, Ive got chance to stick some Megs endurance on now!
What do you think?

Have you tried 303 Aerospace Nath? I use that, leave for at least 3 hours but generally over night, and then wipe over once done.

Not tried it but I do prefer the shiny/wet look so not sure. We have some at the unit so I'll have a look see! :happy2:

A good tip i was given by the Maestro himself was to use a heat gun to dry/warm the tyre up before applying tyre dressing. Lets it work right into the rubber and it does seem to last a few days longer.

Using york cast iron dumbells, good value for money - quality will last etc etc and theres something more 'alpha male' about iron/metal weights as opposed to plastic ones

When i give my car a clean next i'll take some before and after pics as i will be cleaning the Tyre's with APC before re-applying.
A good tip i was given by the Maestro himself was to use a heat gun to dry/warm the tyre up before applying tyre dressing. Lets it work right into the rubber and it does seem to last a few days longer.
The heat gun primarily burns off any crap/previous tyre shine oils thats lingering on the tyre that wasn't removed during a wash. It sounds drastic the "burning off" bit but it doesn't take more than a few seconds for this to happen, don't be holding a heat gun on your tyre waiting for it to burn! ;)

i grow finger, habinero, birdseye, apache, jalepeno, cayenne, scotch bonnet and ghost chilli's :evilgrin:
....you asked :innocent:
i'm a chilli freak!
best for decent chillis is to keep the roots standing in 1cm water and repeat when drank - so they drink from the bottom, dont water from the top but mist the leaves regularly and you'll get chilli's the size of tennis balls :pomppomp:

Anyway, the purchase is a cube peleton pro and my first ride tonight confirmed it was a worthwhile purchase (i've never ridden a road bike so was a little worried I wouldn't enjoy it) Did a quick 21 mile loop in 1hr 19 mins as I only has a 90 minute window. Pretty effortless after my chucky mountain bike and hitting 44.9mph on the garmin edge 800 was a nice buzz :laugh:

Mountain biking being my main hobby and going off to the alps in july I thought it was time to see what this road bike fuss is all about and see if it can give me some more cardio time without the mountain bike faff which any mountain bikers will know what I'm going on about.

Ive been thinking about a Road Bike or a Hybrid for some cardio work. I tried my bro's Hybrid and it eats the miles.
I love my Mountain Bike on the rough, but it just grumbles on the road trying to do cardio. :sad1:

I just wish the Movie rentals were a bit more reasonable. They're too expensive imo.
And although mirroring games from your iPad is a nice idea it's very laggy. Stuff like Real Racing 2 can be almost unplayable.

Depends how you look at it. If it's as a way of wirelessly streaming content from your iOS device(s) then I'd say it's very good. But I'd agree that it is stripped of functionality that should be included.

As you say, it would be a much better device given some extra functions. A basic web browser would be good and the lack of Flash (sigh!) hamstrings the youtube bit so severely that it's not worth using. As others have stated, too, the movie rentals are rather expensive which encourages you to buy them instead. I'd rather do that on disc so that I can watch them anywhere. All this turns my rash purchase into a small black paperweight and as I now have the old version it's probably worthless on the second hand market, as we all know how the Apple fanboi likes his latest and greatest version. :smiley:

I've combined it with iTunes Match so I have my music available to me. I'm testing NetFlix at the moment, I think on the face of it Netflix content is poor however I today discovered a way to tap into the US library which I'm still exploring but it does appear to have some better content.
I love the control from the iPhone, that is far better then the included remote IMHO.
I do think the content is expensive but that's not exclusive to Apple, I think eBooks are a rip off too.

Why do people insist on bringing up the flash issue? :indifferent: It is a defunct technology that is being taken over by HTML5 which iOS devices support.

Yes it has limitations compared to some other devices out there, some of which cost less. But for something that just works out of the box, gives the ability to stream music, videos and pictures to your TV from a Mac, iPad or iPhone and access to a growing catalogue of VOD from a variety of vendors (granted the price of some is high) Then I think it's a very good piece of technology.

Not that at all, it's because without Flash you can only see a limited amount of what is actually on youtube. This makes having youtube as a feature/app whatever rather pointless, as you have to use a computer to do a full and thorough search.
A perfect example: last night I looked for a 12" mix of a song to put on my fb profile page and found it without much looking. Look again for the same video on an iThing and it doesn't show up.
Anyhoo, it has now been replaced with a Blu-ray player I was given and is tucked safely away in the man drawer with the toasted sandwich maker and the chocolate fondue...

Most people recommended me the Victoria Concours Red Wax (very good) for the Tornado Red. Never tried any Poorboys products, how does it compare, finish, ease of application?

It's a very soft wax, almost melts under sunlight, and Extremily easy to apply and remove. The ultimate is fairly new formula and from what I've seen, especially when used with a machine, the shine is absolutely awesome, it's wipe on, and wipe straight off, without having to leave it to dry on. Great combo IMO.This was used on my cars recent detail as posted. although I've brought the Red Nattys instead of David Proctors Blue version wax.brought these 2 as a good combo on Tornado Red I've found..

I have never used VC's wax. it's not been recommended or used by anyone I know and I've not seen proof that it's any better or worse that my chosen mix.

How much was that foot rest?
I got it for £49 delivered from parts4euro.com, via an old group buy on uk-mkivs.net forum.
I tried searching the forum so i could post a link but i can't see it now.
My advice would be to contact parts4euro and ask the about thia item, they do state on their website that small items have free postage, They are asking $89.99 which is £56,
I paid $76 which is £49.

The bolts do look very different from what ive seen removed from my subframe before & the ECS pic in mandys thread
Where did you hear about fitting the shims to the bottom? I can't see them being needed as the movement is between the subframe and the body.

I think the other spacers would be good to use on the console as there is a slight gap created between the console and body when the other spacers are fitted.

Only if your subframe is knocking robin, otherwise no benift. :happy2:
from what ive seen the mod helps to prevent the subframe from moving, worse case is knocking, most mk5 platform subframes move a little in use this mod holds it firm, for £7 if it cures my slight knock i have at low speed i will be happy, if it doesnt i wont lose any sleep
Maybe i could see if TPS Plymouth will do a group buy and give a bigger discount on the bolts and spacers

from what ive seen the mod helps to prevent the subframe from moving, worse case is knocking, most mk5 platform subframes move a little in use this mod holds it firm, for £7 if it cures my slight knock i have at low speed i will be happy, if it doesnt i wont lose any sleep
Maybe i could see if TPS Plymouth will do a group buy and give a bigger discount on the bolts and spacers
It would be an excellent issue preventative mod.
....Excellent advice, Dave! :drinking: I'm still so in love with my car and am now in my second 100k miles.
@ Phil: I would definitely be interested in a group buy :happy2:

....As I only have them on the rear axle it's more difficult to meaningfully assess so far. Contrary to many other people's findings/opinions, I have never felt that the Dunlop Sports Maxx (also asymmetric) were inadequate. I had GY Eagle F1 v1's previously and only got the Dunlops because I needed tyre tread for a Nurburgring trip and there was a production shortage of F1 v1's. Goodyear Dunlop are the same group company and I was advised by their tyre guy at a BTCC meet that they were safe to mix.
I was totally satisfied with the F1 v1's and am equally confident in the v2's. I think that tyres are usually easier to assess when on the front of a FWD car but, put it this way, my rear doesn't feel in the least unstable and I expect that their combination with my S3 rear brakes helps when braking hard.

TBH Robin, I must agree with you about the Dunplops!
I bought my 19" Ultraleggera's with new Dunlops already fitted. I did plan on swapping them for my part worn Conti's that were on my Monza's, but the ride is really good :confused:
I understand that it could have alot to do with the wheels, but so far I'm really impressed with the tyre grip, and the rim protection is alot better than the Conti's.
I doubt I will buy Dunlops again, but I'm gonna stick with this set, for now.

....I never thought about that aspect. We are both riding on OZ's which are lighter weight than Monza's and many other wheels. Until someone educates me I don't really understand why the Dunplop Maxx would ride better on our OZ's, but it's a possibility I guess. :happy2:

So having been offered a new job with a significant increase in salary i decided to treat myself and buy some camera porn and ended up buying a Canon 17-40mm f/4 L Series. Bought from my local jessops who price matched Amazon (after some persuasion) and with £45 cash back under the current promotion run by Canon the lens was a steal at £545.

A very wealthy friend of mine bought an Italian model of a Jetranger helicopter with a 5ft wingspan (bladespan?). It was so difficult to fly that he had real helicopter flying lessons. About a year later he bought an actual Jetranger! I designed the livery for the real one but wanted to dress up the model as a pretend giant Bumble Bee to buzz people having picnics etc :evilgrin:

Ive already got 2 rolex's so fancied a change and wanted a leather strap this time and the only Rolex I liked was the white gold daytona on brown leather and that is £16k and out of my budget.
Really like those Panerai too, but the one Mark posted, I think is over c£14k.
JLC use their own movements - mine has the Automatic Calibre 751/1 movement.

Those slabs are heavy, we had a similar thing at the bottom of our garden at our last house, kids called the "Bomb Shelter". Any clues to the kit your planning on? About 10 years ago I started a Westfield with a Vauxhall motor in it, never finished it, sold as parts, always regret that :sad1:
:happy2:
well a garage i use to work at we sold 4/5 westfields, i got to drive them all and they ranged from a 200bhp vauxhall valver lump to a factory V8, the best by a mile was a fireblade engined one, im still in the thinking side of it and part of me thinks buying one thats built and (registered) then rebuilding could be a way to go, but i would love to just order a complete kit and start from that, be a brand new car, ive looked at loads of different kits and keep coming back to the westy for looks, hmm could even use a GTI lump, keep it VAG ish

Westfields are great fun and stupidly fast. My old man has owned a couple now. The first one ran a Vauxhall 2.0L 16V engine which we later replaced with a Ford 2.0L BDG. The second one, which he still has is a race spec Megabusa 1400cc (previously 1600cc) running on slicks which is a previous hillclimb class record holder.

Yep. When we bought the house 16 months ago the attic conversion had been partially done. The stairs had been put in and the floor strengthened, but thats where it ended. It's a old Victorian house so the attic is really big - we're having a wet room up there and using the eaves over the front of the house for storage, but there will still be room for a lounge area and a double bed etc. The plan is that our 3-year-old is going to have it until Ella, our 12-week-old baby has grown up a little.

:happy2:
What is the spec and what options have you gone for, Stu?
Damo,
It's based on the California SE with some extra's as standard -
Met Paint
Bike Rack
Side Awning
Special 18" Bi Colour 'Dakar' Alloys
Berghaus Branded Carpet Mats and Waterproof Seat Covers
Cruise Control
Front & Rear Parking Sensors
Visibility Pack B (Auto Wipers, Rear View Mirror & Headlights)
Multi Function Steering Wheel
Privacy Glass
Dual Zone Climate
Safe Box
Nasty Berghaus Badges!!
Each vehicle is also supplied with a special Berghaus ‘pack’, including sleeping bags, day sacks, hats, gloves, insulated mugs and a flask.
Only in the 180PS BiTurbo with manual box for these as far as I know.
From what I can gather they built 80 the same with a mix of the 3 available colours (Reflex Silver, Olympian Blue and Natural Grey), not sure yet what the split was but when I enquired on Sunday there were 3 Grey and 7 Blue left. I also know a dealer that has a Silver in stock. I ordered this afternoon and I know another dealer I was talking to took orders for two as well. There are no normal California SE's in UK free stock so these although IMHO over priced are being snapped up. There are SE's around the country but dealers are being less than genuine with the stock system to ring fence them.

Was also offered a 6 month old SE in Toffee Brown (You may remember from Oli's thread) with 60 miles on the clock for a VERY good price.

Yeah that is a slight downside, although after a hard weekend of haggling I didn't pay that. :evilgrin:
Plan is to keep all the Berghaus stuff unopened and boxed in the loft for future resale with the van. None of it is of any great use to us so there seems little point in opening it and after all, if I sold you a 3 year old van with 3 year old used sleeping bags and wooly hats you wouldn't see any use or value from them.

It's one of the Home AV plugs, got a couple of the regular TP link ones like this http://uk.tp-link.com/products/details/?categoryid=1862&model=TL-PA211KIT (http://uk.tp-link.com/products/details/?categoryid=1862&model=TL-PA211KIT) and then this one does upto 200mb over the power sockets back to the router and upto 300mb Wireless N connection. You get a setup cd in the box which allows you to set all the passwords etc for security and the other usual network settings like a router.
It claims upto 200mb when using a cable and TP link have a piece of monitoring software so you can check performance, getting about 165mb as this plug is on the upstairs ring main and the plug pushing the signal out is on downstairs ring main, so happy with performance.

Jail breaking makes it a bit better :evilgrin:
Although had mine for 8 months, and after jail breaking the value increased. Sold for £135 on eBay!
Agree Jailbreaking it gives you freedom from the Apple world, unfortunately there isn't a jailbreak for the ATV 3 hence the prices of ATV 2 on ebay are sky high

180 PS BiTurbo 2.0 TDi. Sadly no DSG option on these bad boys. :evilgrin:

Love the Pro Master SST and the Skyhawk (especially the Red Arrows / Blue Angel editions) - but have always had a soft spot for diver's watches so in the end it came down to the BJ2117-01E or the Pro Master (With the beautiful JR4045-57 Yacht master a close third).
As for the Traser h3 - very nice and heaps of qudos :happy2:

cant go wrong with these! welcome to the world of indirect heat bbqing :party: get down the butchers for a shoulder of pork and then slow cook for 4-5hrs :drool:
You just can't beat a Weber, definitely the best way to barbecue. Make sure you use the silver trays, and half fill them with water. Not only do they keep the inside of your BBQ clean but they add moistness to your food. The wood chips are a great way of adding flavour to your food too.

Cheers fellas. Yes, that's the reason I bought this type of BBQ. Am a chef in the real world and really don't do ANY indirect cooking, mainly due to time constraints. Going for a whole roast chicken in it this weekend and see what the difference is from direct heat.
Not telling anyone how to suck eggs, but indirect heat is:-

I use to have that weber charcoal bbq It was good - get yourself one of the Weber Chimney starters, it makes lighting it real easy :pomppomp:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Weber-7416-Chimney-Starter/dp/B000WEOQV8
I switched to a weber gas bbq 7 years ago and you can't beat it for convenience, the flavour is great and sooooooooo much control & cooking in 5 mins

I don't really know what it is that makes the weber kettles the BEST BBQs!
They are amazing!!!
Whilst I only had the cheapest compact weber (about 50cm wide....which the ex now has) a rather wealthy friend of mine had a Ranch weber :jumping:
It was HUGE!!! I mean like 40+ steaks in one go. (def over 1m wide)
I know it cost about a grand though :ashamed:
I keep meaning to buy another compact. I might just get one online tonight after seeing this thread :innocent:

^^^^ got the 57cm one, its pretty big IMO and was just under £120 from Amazon, not too bad. More than enough room for an average family BBQ plus all the benefits of being able to cook a roast in it. Happy days!!!

Update on the spray bottle....I haven't used the snow foam stuff from clean your car or whatever but tried some liquid and I guess its ok but not brilliant. Uses the fluid up too quickly in my opinion. I don't currently have a car I care enough for to spend more money on better spray bottles etc.

Brand new from Appliance Deals. With 2% quidco.
If you don't like te black, you can get it in brushed silver too. But the gloss black looks very classy.
You need 95cm width for ventilation, and it's 753mm deep too.
It has a neat jug in the fridge door that keeps the water in. Gets plumbed round to the auto ice maker.

It was £899. One of only 2 we could find that did cold water and ice cubes/crushed ice without the need for the water to be plumbed in. The Daewoo felt cheap by comparison. We saw this LG in Currys, and they also had it on offer for £899, but it was ex-demo and damaged.

Excellent. Exact model is:
LG GWL227HBYA - Black
LG GWL227HSYA - Silver
Exact dimensions are H1753xW894xD753mm
Appliance Deals had 3x in stock for next day delivery earlier today. I took one of them after cancelling an order elsewhere due to them not getting stock until nearly July.
Appliance Deals had just reduced their price from £940 to £899, so with them being in stock I ordered straight away. Don't forget 2% cash back!!

It's not really that big. They are quite narrow, it's not that much larger in width than our single fridge/freezer. We never have enough space in the freezer, and we don't stack food. I like an organised fridge, years chefing when I was in college.....

I've posted that Eddy Izzard vid a few times but not everyone has seen it. Glad you enjoyed it, Nige. And Thanks for the facefook 'Like' :drinking: (I can't communicate with folks on FB because they think I'm a commercial band).
"Are you Mr Stevens?" particularly cracks me up. I've watched it loads of times but still laugh just as much.

I have a Vertex 2 in my MBP, which I've been using for about 2 years now. Always been spot on and just as fast as it was on day 1, hence the reason why I stuck to Vertex.

You might find that 50 a bit narrow on the crop sensor. I would have suggested a second hand 5d or 5dii, better use of the 50mm INVHO

Until then, I have all the bits and pieces to go with it.......
System comes with 2x 500GB drives installed, will take the system apart and add the following:
Already posted my Vertex 3, which will be the system disk.
1TB WD Scorpio Blue, which I'll install as a second disk.
Should be more then enough considering the Mini will be connected to my NAS as well.

Upgrading from 4GB to 8GB RAM from Apple costs £80.
Will do it myself - £30 for 8GB RAM, and will sell the 4GB I remove!

Will you be going for a Mac Mini Server? Or using one of the aftermarket 2x disc kits?
I'm just going to go for the server (with educational discount lol).
I know you can get the aftermarket kits/cable, but considering its an investment I plan to run for as long as possible, and the CPU is one of the parts that are not upgradable, I want to get the best CPU possible so it will last longer.
I don't need the discrete graphics as it won't be used for gaming etc, and the Intel HD4000 GPU is a pretty good chip anyways!
Been reading over on the MacRumors forums where plenty of people have bought the middle spec Mini and later regret it, saying they should have come up with the extra for the server.

When do you reckon there will be a silent update to Ivy bridge?
Post by: Ifti on June 12, 2012, 09:46:40 pm
Dilemma I have is that I would want to dual boot it for windows games via the tv. The hd4000 isn't up to that really. For some stuff maybe. Difficult decision. But then, I have my Xbox for that. Ahhh. Server makes more sense, but I already have a time capsule for backups.
When do you reckon there will be a silent update to Ivy bridge?
The HD4000 is still supposed to run pretty good, but for decent gaming you'd want the discrete graphics option.
Since Ivy bridge is already out in the MBPs etc, I don't think it will be too long. I'm hoping for the next month or two. All of the components are there and in use, it's just a matter of sticking them in the Mac Mini now. Since the MBPs are their best sellers, it makes business sense getting them out first I guess.

Yeah it's a bit more expensive for the 240gb one :rolleye:
http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/harddrives-internal/solidstate/128gbandabove/vtx3-25sat3-240g.html
It has come down a lot though. I paid £400 for it about 12 months ago.
Yeh I remember paying £400 for my 240GB Vertex 2 around 2 years ago!
SSD is the future.... my MBP is ridiculously quick. :happy2:
I agree My i7 MBA has the 256GB SSD and its crazy fast :laugh:
100% agree. The best upgrade for the price I have ever done. My ageing Q9550 system is so much snappier now :happy2:
I installed this in April:

I much prefer the design style of Nike and in many, many years i have never experienced anything but great comfort from various Nike shoes. They last well too.

Synology DX510 expansion drive.
Looks exactly the same as my Synology Ds1511+ NAS. This unit connects into my NAS and can be used to extend the overall volume or used as a new volume for backups etc. Basically it will turn my 5 bay NAS into a 10 bay NAS.
I'll add one drive for now and add more as and when I need them.
I don't really need it TBH, but I'm getting it for free from Synology - I just need to review it for them and create a video for my YouTube channel.

So i bought this instead at £149 as it has £130 off the RRP at Comet Online. The headline with this vacuum is (in a head to head with Dyson) that at only 1kg heavier it is a hell of a lot more powerful suction wise (and we all know that sucking is vital :evilgrin:)

I've still got a DC04 Dyson from 1999. It's still amazing :happy2:
I was gonna replace it for a newer Dyson but tbh, whilst working in customers houses and on the odd occasion using their vacuum cleaners Ive had the chance to use allsorts of brands.
The newer Dysons were really poor :confused:
As a result ive kept mine for another year, then another year.....
I doubt I will buy a Dyson next.
I'll be in touch Carl for a review of the VAX when I'm ready to buy. :laugh:
Post by: vRS Carl on June 22, 2012, 09:39:49 pm
To be honest our Dyson (which is also a DC04) isn't too bad. I just don't think it is very good at getting pet hair out the carpet/furniture. It's not as if they are dogs that moult a lot either.
I've replaced all the filters and brushes on it for new ones and thoroughly cleaned it all out too but i still wasn't happy. So now with having the baby i thought it was time to change. So the Dyson will now be for the car.
I'm expecting this Vax to suck the granite tiles up off the floor in the kitchen :grin:

It's not available on the DR stream currently Carl.
It will catch up in due course, but the Disaster Recovery stream doesn't get changed to the new EPG till all models of hd boxes are running satisfactory. Just incase they need to revert back to the old EPG if there's a mass flaw in the guide lol or Carl's series link on F1 doesn't work :signLOL:

My daughter would like a BMW Mini, Steve. If she does buy one I would like to persuade her to get a hot Cooper version but then insurance might be tricky. It's all up to her rather than me.

It also adjusts its 3D picture (which doesnt require glasses) based on where you are sitting in the room, and can track 8 people iirc, and adjust the 3D image accordingly for each person. I want one. Sadly, the £7k price tag is a little out of reach at the moment.

I got this torch a couple of months ago, it's really good, The magnet is strong enough to hold it horizontal on a central heating radiator & I'm still on the first set of batteries. It's pretty tough also, my son took it to cub camp and it's still working

That no glasses Tosh requires you to keep you head perfectly still throughout the whole movie or the 3D effect disappears. Might be impressive, but it needs some work yet...
Oh yeah, appreciate that. I mean, it cant track eye movements yet. It would need a pretty damn high res camera for that.

I wouldnt be buying a new big screen just yet. The 4x HD (Super HD) screens are out, and will be dropping in price over the next few years. Just hoping my 1080p 42" screen lasts me long enough until they are affordable. My friend went to visit Toshiba recently to check out their 55" set and he said it was simply staggering. It has hardware upscaling built into it as well, so with even a BluRay input, it was upscaling to 4x HD. He said it was the most impressive screen he has ever seen.
It also adjusts its 3D picture (which doesnt require glasses) based on where you are sitting in the room, and can track 8 people iirc, and adjust the 3D image accordingly for each person. I want one. Sadly, the £7k price tag is a little out of reach at the moment.
any further info??
Im in the market for a nice tv... was going to wait until next year as sony & panasonic have announced a new oled to be released for next year. I believe samsung and lg aready have one, but at £8k a bit out of budget :sad1:

Like already mentioned, too early to buy into the technology. It has its faults, mainly that they are using the 4K res to direct differing images to the viewer. However, it certainly is an interesting time in TV technology. Once we have native Super HD sources, more compatiblity and a standard that all manufacturers adhere to, as well as making the technology affordable to the masses, it will be worth buying into.

Im holding out on my TV upgrade just yet. HD is the past really in terms of tech. The Japanese had been using HD a long time before we got our grubby mits on it.

The issue will be that HD is already chewing up the bandwidth for the transmitters currently! Sky cheated the system by downgrading the standard format so that their HD channels look better. Freeview HD has much better quality, but the systems behind the scene's will need a major upgrade before much of this can become worth while. Only decent use will be games and blueray IMHO.

Yep, hopefully more frequencies which allow higher bandwidth will be available for this in the future. Or we all go cable, if that will support it.

I remember reading somewhere that as soon as you buy a TV/PC/Laptop etc it is already 6 months out of date due to the pace of progression.
I bought a TV a couple of years ago that apparently had the best image quality for an LCD. Even now 2 yrs later everyone that comes to my house and watches it says the picture quality is brilliant. That's with just Sky HD, Blu-ray is even better. Whilst we are on about Sky HD, their HD quality, as mentioned, is dire. Initially i thought my TV was either faulty or set up wrong. I had it set up properly and the guy that did it mentioned that Sky HD is heavily compressed hence the fact i was getting the poor quality image on HD Channels. 720p & 1080i on Sky are nothing like what they should be. No doubt Murdoch's mucka will say it is but it isnt.
These Lentic 4K tv's (lentic is the term currently used for 3D without Glasses) are way off being in most people's budget at the moment unless your first name happens to be Sheikh. I would have quite happily bought that 70" TV, moved the 40" to the Bedroom and enjoyed the hooooooge image for the next 5 years. 2 things stopped me, one being i would be sat too close as our lounge is not wide enough. I could block the patio doors at one end with it but that would upset mine and SWMBO's fung schu. The second thing was SWMBO said no :grin:
Seriously if you after a new TV and have a room big enough for the 70" one then get yourself down to costco. They are £2399 elsewhere!

Almost bought the snap on led light. Can you give us a review when youve had a go?
It's very bright and the torch bit is too. Not sure about the magnetic base. Tried it on the side of the fridge and it wasn't strong enough to hold it horizontally.
It will definitely be worthwhile to keep in the car :happy2:
I got this torch a couple of months ago, it's really good, The magnet is strong enough to hold it horizontal on a central heating radiator & I'm still on the first set of batteries. It's pretty tough also, my son took it to cub camp and it's still working
I shall try mine on a radiator then. Maybe the fridge metal was different. :happy2:

Viewin distance plays a huge role when considering tv size. Distance in inches multiplied by 0.58 iirc.
I sit 95" from my screen. So my optimum size is 55" before the HD image gets ruined.

It's "just" a Young Sport mate, but when googling a 2 it seems to be the same model...! Bought another car seat from Mothercare when I got the Golf but never been happy with how it fitted with the rear seats. Everyone with a Golf seems to be keen on these and VW sell them online so they must be decent!
:happy2:
He's 3.5 going on 35 mate! :signLOL:
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on July 07, 2012, 08:56:13 pm
Haha,
As far as I understand the youngsport 2 is suitable from 9month - 11years, adjusting along the way untill it's just a booster seat

Almost bought the snap on led light. Can you give us a review when youve had a go?
It's very bright and the torch bit is too. Not sure about the magnetic base. Tried it on the side of the fridge and it wasn't strong enough to hold it horizontally.
It will definitely be worthwhile to keep in the car :happy2:
I got this torch a couple of months ago, it's really good, The magnet is strong enough to hold it horizontal on a central heating radiator & I'm still on the first set of batteries. It's pretty tough also, my son took it to cub camp and it's still working
I shall try mine on a radiator then. Maybe the fridge metal was different. :happy2:
It certainly does stick horizontally on a radiator :happy2:
I know the fridge has some coating to so called stop sh*t sticking to it so maybe that was affecting it.

What you need are the full S2TPP paddles which I have on mine now. Granted they may not fall off, however I don't want that worry that they may in the back of my mind. Sorry if that's put a dampener on it, but they are just stuck on at the end of the day. :happy2:

As I said before, my TID's have stayed stuck on and without even a hint of movement for tens of thousands of miles including trackdays. Also, they are made of solid laminated carbon layers and are totally rigid. Pricey but I can't fault them otherwise.

The problem with those pans is that they still require 3 million rolls of blue paper to clean up all the oil from the actual tub. The best type are the completely open ones.

No VAG scene tax either, so they cost me £175! Although they're not quite as polished as those in the pic.
No, mine is in BMW having some work done, so I'm in French clutter. It's probably better suited to Anglesey to be fair.

ah contacts? how are they?
I wear day and night 30 day ones. Apparently they are not that comfortable and not many like them. I am also one of these that has a huge issue with anything touching my eyes. Ironically though I have no problem with my 30 day and night lenses
They are supposedly very good, and let loads of oxygen through which is what you want. They are continuous wear ones, but I only wear them during the daytime (unless I fall asleep and forget)
I often use them for a bit longer than a month too and they are perfectly fine :smiley:

are they made and designed for night time too? If so i might give them a trial. Whats your prescription btw? I'm 1.25 in one eye and .75 in the other. can't remember which way. For the last month I haven't bothered with any to see what my eyesight was like. Im doing ok, but miss them for driving etc
Yes... but only up to 7 nights at a time I think. Im -5.00 and -5.50 so fairly blind.

Ha, that's nothing! I'm -8.50 and -7.50. I've worn Ciba Dailies for nearly 15 years now. They're excellent contact lenses.
Jesus guys, my missus is circa -1.75 (I think..) and I think she is nearly blind without lenses or glasses....

^^^ Thats nothing. I was -1.75 when I was about 10/11 years old. Wearing contact lenses was one of the best moves I ever made, just which i had started to use them earlier.
I spent the mid to late 90's working for a high street optician eventually taking the Dispensing Opticians course (four years of mind numbing boredom) and spent the best part of two years working with the contact lens partitioner. The highest perscription encountered was -16.00 -14.50 and the guy was at the time only 25!
The highest prescription i ever glazed lenses for was -19 L&R in lovely 1.87 index Zeiss glass, i was sh*tting bricks when i cutting the glass as at something like £500 a lens retail they were not cheap!

Its very fast with absolutely no teething problems.
I have an iPad too for all you haters but I'd say its just as good.
Bit of a bargain as well.
And I can use Torque with a BlueTooth dongle like I did on the Galaxy S2.

After a bit a kerfuffle with TNT delivering it to not only the wrong road but also the wrong number it finally came on the 18th.

I was going to get one of these for my son to keep him entertained on the plane and when we are on holiday next week, but with only knowing "1-2 weeks delivery" from google I couldn't take the chance of it not being deliverd in time for us going away, so got him a second hand iPad instead.
I had a similar problem with TNT delivering my iPad earlier this year, it was deliverd to the wrong house 3 days after I was supposed to get it, By the time they deliverd it I already bought another one from Currys and had another carry on with TNT not turning up when they were supposed to for collecting it

Yes.. i did notice that today that it ran a bit, but i wasn't particularly carful applying it and i didnt remove from reassess like it advises. Ill see how it goes and might sell it on if i dont like it.
Rich, apply with a sponge sparingly, then leave a few minutes and wipe over again with clean sponge or old microfibre, does last for ages but if too much applied can spray over car. Also top tip, wear a latex glove when applying as it takes ages to get off your hands and out of your nails, if that bothers you :signLOL:

I did another track day today, and three middle aged men came over for a chat. They were asking about the black and gold on the car. So i explained it was based on the Lotus F1 car from the early seventies that was very successful. One of them said. " you must really like the heritage and the history, if you were willing to go the whole hog and get it stitched into the seats. :laugh:

Bought one of these for work. Discontinued, but marked down from £250 to £70.
Where from at that price? Don't say it was the last one! Same as you, could do with one for work.

Post by: MC71 on August 03, 2012, 10:54:26 am
play.com or amazon for a little more. Some places are still selling it for £250!
Thanks matey! :happy2:
Just read the review, sounds good (no pun intended). Amazon seem to have them for £77.99 + free postage. 1/4 of the price and probably twice as good as my Bose Dock! :sad1:
Looks lovely in White but they want an extra £40 for that one. :stupid:

Supposedly conduct better therefore spark harder. I'll need some hard facts before I believe it though. ;-)
Cheers Rich.
I can't see how it would spark harder though. There is no extra power being introduced into the system (unless the coils are damaged/corroded) I'd like to see a back to back test done comparing a new OEM coilpack against one of these, showing the difference in spark produced.
Edit - I've just read the bumf and apparently they have a "power amplifier" in them to produce 4x the energy. Still want to see that proven though.
http://www.okadaprojects.com/usa/products_direct.htm
Edit 2 - Just seen the price :surprised: :surprised:
Circa £500 for a set of coilpacks!! I'd want a daily chew included for that :grin: Unless someone can prove to me, by testing back to back on an independent dyno, they smooth out the curve AND give an increase in power & torque. I think this is going to be a solution for a problem that doesn't exist imho.

Real easy mate. Yeah cut the required size hole first. There are 3 fixing points. The lugs turn anti clockwise, out of the way, so then when you insert the 3" fixing screws and tighten, they automatically twist round and tighten against the plaster board! :wink:

It says on the can it's made in Uxbridge, so you've just paid a fortune for that can to be made in the UK, exported abroad (if that ever actually happened*) and then re-imported at great expense when a couple of drops of vanilla flavouring added to a boggo 28p can would probably taste just the same...

....Unfortunately that extent of unnecessary extra transport is quite common in the food industry, even with wet goods:
Locally (I live by the sea) unless you know the right people to shortcut/bypass the process, fresh fish gets caught and landed and then transported hundreds of miles away before being returned to local retailers. The retailers then advertise it as locally caught - Yes, but how many days ago!? The stupidity is compounded by it being 'illegal' to sell fish directly off the fishing boat. Most of the fish/seafood I buy is less than 24hrs old and often much less.
Recent purchase: Some very fresh Lyme Bay scallops:

£1.50?!!
It says on the can it's made in Uxbridge, so you've just paid a fortune for that can to be made in the UK, exported abroad (if that ever actually happened*) and then re-imported at great expense when a couple of drops of vanilla flavouring added to a boggo 28p can would probably taste just the same...
*if it never, then the price has been inflated even more
....Unfortunately that extent of unnecessary extra transport is quite common in the food industry, even with wet goods:
Coca Cola is wet... :laugh:

If you follow the link the fitting instructions will show you how/where they fit.
Fish
Post by: RedRobin on August 16, 2012, 05:59:32 pm
Robin, they sit between the chassis and the subframe. So if you remember the recent ECS uprated bolts group buy, well these would/could be the next stage. They basically lineup the subframe to the chassis which should then make the geometry square. They recommend not to fit them if you've had any sort of front end damage.
If you follow the link the fitting instructions will show you how/where they fit.

You'll be able to upgrade to W8 for peanuts come October...
Maybe best to wait till the next one. Based on the last few Microsoft seem to be getting it right on every other OS.
XP was good, Vista was crap, W7 was/is good and therefore W8 will be crap :wink:
I upgraded to W7 on release and will be sticking to it for a while yet.

Just played 10 holes with the new irons and OMG, there sooooo long. I'm now getting 100 yards out of my sand wedge :surprised:

For example the sweetspot of a modern Driver is about as big as the ball itself. With wooden drivers it was about as big as your middle fingernail . Hence the newer club easier to hit , all modern golf equipment make it alot easier to do everything

Should we be using equipment on our cars which result in higher levels of driving skill being needed? Should bicycles not have the latest gear transmission systems etc? I think we should embrace whatever current tecnology offers us and enjoy it. It will require its own set of skills.

I have been looking at the Taylormade R11 irons and also the RBZ irons and also thinking of changing from R11 driver to RBZ driver as my regular playing partners now drive almost as far as me (they were a good 30-35 yds behind me, now they are only 10yds behind), methinks I should invest in the RBZ and increase that gap again :evilgrin:
Post by: garrardrj on August 30, 2012, 04:07:39 pm
Golf is still not "Easy" you still have to swing the club, have timing before the ball contacts the "easy club" , plus as your handicap lowers you get clubs that are harder to use (MUCH smaller sweetspot/less forgiving).
I have been looking at the Taylormade R11 irons and also the RBZ irons and also thinking of changing from R11 driver to RBZ driver as my regular playing partners now drive almost as far as me (they were a good 30-35 yds behind me, now they are only 10yds behind), methinks I should invest in the RBZ and increase that gap again :evilgrin:
As i said earlier , you can buy extra distance ! Never used to be the case , it is ruining the Traditional Courses too as the distance people hit the drive increases . I won a long driving contest in 1980 at 242 yds aged 17. I can hit a 2 iron 240 now ! This is purely due to the improvement in the ball , not me or the club. Each to their own but with Golf being a Sport originating from 1500 and based around tradition etiquette and History it should be seriously restrained for the future. :happy2:
Post by: prepree on August 30, 2012, 04:27:06 pm
Its also not about how far you can hit, I can drive past my fellow playing partners but id much rather hit a 3w or 2i stinger and leave me a whole shot next. So much willy waving goes on about how far you can hit one shot, id much rather keep my short game sharp from 120 in rather than beating one out over a wind and gravity assisted 300 yard drive!

....I respect what you are saying and particularly about the traditional courses being ruined (although I have never played golf).
Have you heard of Real Tennis? - It's a racquet sport dating back from Henry VIII. Very strict rules which still must be adhered to. How old is cricket? (I genuinely don't know). I must admit I don't like the coloured clothing. But surely bat technology has changed?

I went in with the thinking I would be coming out with a set or either R11 or RBZ's.
After trying the R11, RBZ and then the Burner 2.0 I felt that the R11's felt a little numb and no difference between the RBZ's and 2.0's. I wasn't keen on the looks of the RBZ and as they performed no better than the 2.0 and as they were £200 more than the 2.0 it was a no brainer :laugh:
If youre investing in a whole new outfit I would hope your going to be fitted properly, rather than just buying the trendy clubs, the RBZ range is poor in my opinion, it certainly will sell loads but it all feels cheap especially the woods and hybrid. Even with an upgraded shaft its still to whippy. On trackman my 910 wasnt touched at all.
Its also not about how far you can hit, I can drive past my fellow playing partners but id much rather hit a 3w or 2i stinger and leave me a whole shot next. So much willy waving goes on about how far you can hit one shot, id much rather keep my short game sharp from 120 in rather than beating one out over a wind and gravity assisted 300 yard drive!
Complatly agree mate and I did get fitted up :happy2:
I'm the same as you RE how far I can hit it. I can also hit my 3 wood just as far as most of my playing partners do with a driver which leaves me 120-150 and a nice wedge or 9i :happy2:

Please give us a thorough review in about 300-400 miles. I may well import these too. The downside is if you need a replacement eg puncture.
Will do.
It was only after i place the order i thought about punctures, and i thought that these tyres only took 5 days to get here from indianapolis and one of those days was bank holiday monday, So i would put the space saver on till new tyre arrived.

Who makes the bonnet? :smiley:It's VWR, but I got it used from the R32 forum :smiley:
I didn't initially want carbon, but I read it's a good way to reduce a decent chunk of the front-axle weight (11kg saving from what I hear), so I thought I may as well for the price.
What spec is the lappy?Intel i7, 2.1GHz
8GB DDR3 RAM
13" LCD, 1080P
256GB SATA drive..
Sheet battery (takes it from MacBook Air thickness to MacBook Pro, but 14 hours battery life :surprised:)
The real reason for buying was the mobility; it will be fast, but also work for what should realistically be 10 hours. My current laptop lasts 90 seconds, but even with a new battery it was only 90minutes. Not practical, since I want to charge overnight, then use all day, rather than lug around adapter with me at all times, and constantly be looking for plugs...
And it's light. Carrying around a metal MacBook just won't do. I can't carry around so much weight; I'm not Hercules! :signLOL:
Cannot wait; it should arrive in the morning. Am excited to say the least.

Great buy on the carbon bonnet - It's even got AeroCatches already fitted.
Don't forget to always open the AeroCatches BEFORE operating the OEM bonnet release inside the car, otherwise it badly strains the AeroCatches. Looks like you have the key lockable version of AeroCatches. After a few times it quickly becomes habit. :happy2:

^^^^Ah, that's something to worry about; definitely need to make that habit. Thanks for that, Rob :)

I need it relacquered, I think :sad1:. A few stone chips, and the lacquered edges are going. Not sure how/where to get that done as a high quality job; hopefully not too much money too.
My car's Steel Grey (was going to do a build thread, but can't match some of you on here, so why try?), so I'm going to keep the bonnet in the raw carbon. People may think it's chavvy, but with my black TDs and black badge, will look fairly mean.

....I think that black carbon looks quite subtle with Steel Grey. An OSIR on a friend's, now sold:

The OSIR carbon bonnets have a much deeper lacquer than the VWR but can look more 'bling'. The VWR looks better in my opinion (and is lighter weight being single skin) but is less resistant to wear and tear than the OSIR.

That's a lovely car. I won't be fitting the bonnet for a few months, I don't think. Want to slowly start doing trackdays...

I need to find someone to repair the lacquer first, so it can look pristine.
Then I may wait until next year to put it on, so it gets less grit/water in it...

Was looking to get one of these myself but 4g will only be available on EE's network (in uk) so that is a poor move by Apple not to support the other uk 4g bandwidths. Will be waiting for an updated version with full support I think.

Hopefully be seeing some of that soon. I didn't buy it for 4g anyways. I get 10-12mbps on 3 3G anyways at the moment. Great network and coverage

In my youth, about 50 years ago, we wandered around the fields with airguns and/or a 12-bore without much concern for legalities as I think that the law was much freer in those days.
If it wasn't now illegal I'd be replacing my catapult with an airgun to get the message over to certain feral four-legged trespassers in my garden.

Good job it is illegal then. If I caught anyone shooting cats with an air rifle I would turn them into pulp. I do believe that's illegal as well, for a reason.

Oops maybe I shouldn't have put that picture up.
For the record children shooting using the gun wouldn't happen, I keep my rifles Locked in a steel safe with ammo stored in a different safe and the bolts in another, you would need 3 sets of keys to get the bits required to fire a shot.
Oh and for the record shooting cats with a catapult or anything else is against the law, and if anybody we're to do it to my cat I would be round to return the favor

Oh and for the record shooting cats with a catapult or anything else is against the law, and if anybody we're to do it to my cat I would be round to return the favor
....Don't worry, I'm a lousy shot with a catapult. I think a powerful water pistol might be more effective. :evilgrin: - Surely a water pistol isn't illegal?

As a cat lover I suggest you buy a super soaker. If my cat(s) had come back soaking wet I would have laughed at them.
If they had come back with puncture wounds or evidence of foul play I would have gone all Bryan Mills. :evilgrin:

they work pretty well with no harm to them.
i do love my cat, hes a proper useless bugger but would be lost without him, every time i work on my engine he comes out, sits on the battery tray and watches me, if only i could get him to hold the torch :grin:

i would advise http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rentokil-LFC61-Ultra-Sonic-Repeller/dp/tech-data/B003ANX7M2/ref=de_a_smtd
they work pretty well with no harm to them.
....I've had one of those devices and it cost me nearly £50! It didn't do the job because it couldn't cover all the directions from which a cat can enter my garden. However, a neighbour's cat from across the road used to regularly ambush and kill birds in my garden and I made a note of his favourite ambush spots and set up the device accordingly. But it didn't make the cat even flinch, let alone go away. So I resorted to shouting and chasing.
Suddenly this cat stopped coming into my garden and I heard he had been hit by a car while crossing the road and recovered but lost his tail. I also learnt that the cat has been deaf for a very long time! Hence why my expensive device was useless. That cat never ventures across to my side of the road now.
I don't hate cats but I get a lot of wild birds in my garden and also have a wildlife pond. I don't mind the occasional visit from a Badger or Mole, or a raid by the local Sparrow Hawk which killed a Wood Pigeon last year but at least she ate it - I observed her for hours.
The cats were getting too regular but I think they are getting the hint that they are very unwelcome in my garden. A Super Soaker appeals the most to me and I can use it from indoors too.
I much prefer dogs to cats and friends with dogs are always welcome visitors.

Are they easy to fit robin? Have you any install pics?
....Fairly easy to fit (unless if by me!). High lift ramp or pit is needed and space in the horn area is very confined, hence why I have bought cheaper ones as the expensive ones have bigger trumpets which won't fit.
I only have this pic from when I had 2-tone airhorns:

^ The compressor failed on those too! They only lasted just over a year but my current 3-tone (single chord blast, not a song) have lasted about 3 years.
My new ones are being fitted on Wednesday so I'll take pics but we may only replace the compressor - We'll see how it goes. But if there seems to be enough interest I guess I could write a short Review if not a How-to Guide.

Both my pair of work boots and winter boots gave up the ghost in the last fortnight after over 10 years good service, so I needed some new ones. Long story but I ended up with these bad boys for £75 instead of £190 as they were a shop return. These Meindl are so good that I reckon I won't need another pair of winter boots for the rest of my life. I have already been on 3 long and hilly country walks since last Friday. I can't fault them. German of course.
Anyone else here had Meindl shoes/boots?
:notworthy:

I wore meindl boots everyday for work from 2004 -2008.
I bought my last pair in 2008 and instead of building sites everyday they are just worn now and then in autumn/winter time.
4 yrs on they are still like new now!!!

I like the Rain Repellent but don't rate the Anti-Fog. Yes it stops the inside windscreen fogging up but turns it into water which runs all down the screen (impairing vision). Made a bit of a mess of my windscreen, visible water marks everywhere when dry (impairing vision). :scared:

....I saw Penny first!! :laugh: - It's a great programme isn't it :notworthy:
The unexpected thing is that if I mention The Big Bang Theory to anyone, no matter how old or young they are, most of them watch it and think they are the only ones who do!
I had a friend staying at my place a few weeks ago who is a retired scientist and he watches it and tells me that all the scientific gobblygook used in the prog is accurate. The programme makers employ actual scientists to check everything.
Penny is sooo hot :drool: :love: and the part she plays in relation to the geeks is very clever.

I've been using AutoFinesse products, but seen quite a few folk on here talking about using black hole and nattys wax, so thought I'd give it a bash. I've already got PS EXP sealant and wheel sealant.
Here's the end result (though the iPhone pics don't really do it justice).

Have to say that I definitely prefer the poorboys range to auto finesse. It's much easier to apply and buff of and smells nice to boot. The AF stuff smelt like you were using WD40!

Oh dear! To late now, the leather does feel "firm", especially around the edge (if that makes sense). Do look good though.

What did you pay for the vintage if you don't mind?
Was bought from the US, was around £300-350 after exchange rate and import duty, it's 24 carret plated gold too which is nice :)

The Autocar one is a bit odd, it's almost like they were trying to go against the grain of the others? That said, they bring up some valid points and you can't be all rose tinted about these things.
Believe the hype, but I doubt I'll learn to love its looks :signLOL:

Yeah if you jailbreak your phone it lets you change all sorts of settings. If you are on the latest iOS 6 I'm not sure if there is a jailbreak available yet....might be. :wink:

What do you mean untethered mate? I'm seriously starting to hate iOS now but I'm so deep in it, it's untrue. Might jailbreak to see what the fuss is about.
Post by: Tfsi_Mike on November 23, 2012, 08:54:24 pm
A jailbreak for ios 6 has been developed but because it's a tethered version if you need to reboot or Respring (for instance after installing an app or tweak) you will need to connect it to your computer and run a program to force it to reboot.
The same if your computer dies.
No worth the hassle untill the full working 'unteathered' version
I think the prase teathered comes from being 'tethered' / tied to your laptop top cause you regularly need your laptop to restart your phone.

Tethered just means you need to use your laptop connected via cable to do the jailbreak. Once jailbroken you can do what you like with it provided you don't upgrade without using your laptop.

Tethered jailbreak is a jailbreak which every time you restart of shut down it will go into recovery then you have to launch the program you jailbroke it with and it should reboot it. :happy2:
:happy2: that's what I said. Needing the laptop everytime you Respring or battery dies to force reboot

I paid £240 for supply and fit of 2 tyres last time (Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2's). Got free Nitrogen with it and free top-up whenever I need it.

....Yes, there are hooks and eyes installed in the car (Mk5 GTI) you can instantly use.
One was already in the car under the parcel shelf and the other I bought from another forum member. You can buy them from your VW dealer but I don't know the part #.

Coming from a basic Tomtom that was at least 7 years old (that had 7 digit postcodes) i found the RNS510 navigation quite basic, it was better when Eddie-NL updated it for later version with speed cams but I am looking forward to using a Tomtom again (my old Tomtom was donated to my mates daughter who cant find her way

Best purchase you will ever make ...... Would give my house away rather than my dog
Probably the most intelligent dogs around, their capacity for learning is huge, my parents bought me a Border collie Bitch when I was 7 years old, It was just before christmas (She was NOT a christmas present!) she was named Holly (by me), I trained her quite well (for a 7-8 year old anyway), used to go to dog training classes twice per week with her. I taught her all the usual stuff, sit, stay, lie down, heel, not to move until told to do so etc, she would sit there with a doggie treat on her paw for as long as you wanted before allowing her to have it, I also taught her not to go near roads when she was on her own and by the time she was 12 months old my mum used to hand her the dog lead (which she took hold of) and she let her out the back door, she used to scoot over the dry stone wall at the toop of the garden and cross about 1.5 miles of fields and she would sit there at the rear school gate (Which joined onto the local park) with the dog lead in her mouth :happy2:, we would then walk home together (with my best mate who was not allowed a dog) via the park where she loved nothing more than fetching a stick/chasing us round and trying to catch a trout in the river (She did catch them a few times but used to spit them out again before I had chance to get hold of them :grin:), she probably should have been a spaniel such was her love for being in water :grin: best dog I ever had, she lived until she was 15yrs old.
Makes me smile when I think about her :smiley:

Well, we nearly brought a 3 storey 4 bed in Birmingham, redeveloped land. But in a not so nice area last year. That was only £147k. We are getting far less, for far more money. But in a much nicer area. Front outlook is over fields. :happy2:

Congratulations on the investment. It sounds daft but your own home will bring you far more joy than any car.
I was lucky enough to buy a property when I was quite young, and even though prices are pretty much on their arse at the moment houses are still far more expensive than they realistically should be. We bought our 3-bedroom period mid-terrace for £285k nearly 2 years to the day, and a recent valuation suggested it hadn't increased in value, despite us adding an attic bedroom with en-suite and extending the kitchen and dining room. The market still makes me very nervous, but you still can't beat going home to your own house at the end of the day.

Absolutely, since the wife and i met 6 years ago, for 5.5 years of those we have rented. This is the 3rd property we have tried to purchase in that time. The first was when the recession hit and the apartment was downvalued by 2x valuations. We bottled it (rightly so) and hadnt tried again till last year. Unfortunately, we decided that as the house was leasehold and the covenants were ridiculous, we bottled it again. Finally, this is 3rd time lucky and we have now exchanged contracts.
I used to own a 2 bed flat as well, and wish i had kept it (sold in 2007 at height of value). Dont think it would have gone up in value at all, but id be the majority of the way through the mortgage.

I'm in a similar position and we are looking to move after the new year, however as long as we get what we paid for ours, I will be happy. Fortunately we were able to put down a decent deposit so there is no risk of negative equity (touch wood!). I suppose we didn't really see this house (our first) as a way of making money - it was all about buying a house rather than paying someone else's mortgage!!!

Could not agree more. Best thing you will ever do.
No idea where you are in the country but that's a hell of a lot of house for 190k. Will be great when its yours and you can put your mark on it. We have a similar sized house and now we've kicked the kids out we are rattling around a bit TBH.
Both my girls have to rent as its still too expensive for them to buy without the help of you know who. Unfortunately even 1 bed flats go for quite a bit here in West Sussex, I'll be working till I die at this rate.

I want at least 20-25% before I start looking as house prices realistically have to drop at some point.
I'm also worried about the Interest rates as they have to come back up again at some point and even a few percent can make a huge difference to the monthly prices. Really wish I got on the ladder 10 years ago but I was more interested in going out every weekend then.

I'm still saving to put a deposit down on a house, I know 95% mortgages are available now but I want more equity than 5%
I want at least 20-25% before I start looking as house prices realistically have to drop at some point.
I personally don't think they will drop. Even though the housing market has been in decline that has only meant prices have increased at a slower rate. It's supply and demand, and with 95% mortgages reappearing more people will be able to afford property, which will only fuel the market.

There's fewer houses than people, and rental costs are spiralling out of control. House prices stalling is down to new build, in particular the glut of BTL flats dragging the overall down. Anything old/in a decent area/with potential to improve/not ex-local authority is doing very well.

We're thinking of getting a flat on a Buy to Let mortgage and "sort off" renting it to our daughter and partner as it may be her only way onto the property ladder with the prices as they are. 1 bed flats are around £165k-£250k here and there as small as prison cells. Crazy amount of money and very depressing for those who need even a small 10% deposit (small in % but not amount of money). My daughter was told 20% or around £40k as a first time buyer.

Don't worry about that. In the short term get a 95/90/85% mortgage. Whatever you can afford. Then concentrate on overpayments. Most lenders are allowing 10% annually.

We live in Solihull at present, but there are no new builds. Except 4 bed £500k houses, even new build flats are £250k. When they do them. Go to some of the slightly scummier areas, a lot of Brum is being redeveloped, and they are a lot cheaper. So we are moving back to Redditch. Not far to commute, we are practically in green belt with the new build development, and closer to family/friends. Simply cannot wait!!! :)

is the same story just about everywhere, we bought for offers over £285k 4 years ago and had to go to £375k to get it,,,, only topped the other bidder by £200,,, right before the market dried up.My New £190k gift to my wife and myself.
Congratulations on the investment. It sounds daft but your own home will bring you far more joy than any car.
I was lucky enough to buy a property when I was quite young, and even though prices are pretty much on their arse at the moment houses are still far more expensive than they realistically should be. We bought our 3-bedroom period mid-terrace for £285k nearly 2 years to the day, and a recent valuation suggested it hadn't increased in value, despite us adding an attic bedroom with en-suite and extending the kitchen and dining room. The market still makes me very nervous, but you still can't beat going home to your own house at the end of the day.
Could not agree more. Best thing you will ever do.
No idea where you are in the country but that's a hell of a lot of house for 190k. Will be great when its yours and you can put your mark on it. We have a similar sized house and now we've kicked the kids out we are rattling around a bit TBH.
Both my girls have to rent as its still too expensive for them to buy without the help of you know who. Unfortunately even 1 bed flats go for quite a bit here in West Sussex, I'll be working till I die at this rate.
recently 2 houses sold over the road which are very similar for £322k and £310k :confused:
and we have put £40k into the house since we bought it,,,, nothing you can do but dig in and eventually things will rise,,,, but we have lost around £100k in value in 4 years, middle class and sought after area as well
very depressing but we just keep going, is all you can do I guess

After keeping the CK's mint for nearly 2 years, I managed to drop one on its face while cleaning them, have been looking into refurbs etc which would mean having at least 2 done, but I like things right so all 4 would have to be done, Monte put me on to a couple of new CK's on the bay at a very very good price, so bought them both :laugh:they look very very nice, where they terribly expensive if you don't mind me asking

A Guardsman bird box with Colour video camcorder built in. Comes with 40 metres of USB cable, an interior light etc etc. and just plugs into your puter or lappy to view. Apparently you can attract different kinds of birds by positioning the "hole" in different positions?? :confused:cool items these if you like watching the birds, can you actually record on this one so you can playback for activity :happy2:

my brother in law has 2 set up also but the 40m cable is a bit of a nightmare tbh,,, having to tack it all the way to your comp aint fun.
you can actually buy a cable free version, runs with a usb Bluetooth dongle with 20 metre range though, does mean you have to power the outside box though and I guess would only be better if you have outside sockets but I wouldn't be able to run a usb lead into my house without drilling a hole somewhere as the cable is pretty thick.
good luck in finding a family of birds,
would you have the ability to post a still pic or something if any use the house ?
would be a cool follow up

At first glance & skim read I thought the camera was concealed in the bird box as a security camera :grin:
Post by: RedRobin on December 19, 2012, 05:05:20 pm
That Gardsman nest box is pretty cool. Yes,
What's even more important to birds is the feeling of security from predators and also other birds. Make sure that any local cats learn that they are extremely unwelcome on your property. So you are probably looking at least 15ft off the ground and with the entry not facing into strong winds.

That Gardsman nest box is pretty cool. Yes,glory-holeentry-hole position will make a difference due to altering the depth of the bottom of the nest from the entry and so attracting different species. But the size of the hole is also important regarding which species will be interested in adopting it. Robin prefer open fronted nest boxes.

Can't you just buy them? They sell the outer parts separately...

I thought Avatar was fantastic.... brilliant piece of escapism. :notworthy:
..... :happy2: Escapism, thriller, action, comedy, are all the things which a good movie should be about - Not something which does your head in by either being too complicated in plot or worse, depressing.
Movies are for entertainment IMO.

Luke, did you factor in a 10% discount? That quotation engine works at list only. Just work out the discount and add it to the deposit to fool it. Stay off the options list, you really don't need much at all.
Yeah, £400 p/m is just a bit too much at the moment. Add on the fact ill be doing 20k miles per year when we move = ouch on fuel.
Maybe in a couple of years.
I'm considering a 2nd hand 120D M-Sport Coupe in the interim.
Mike, are BMW offering good discount on the other types too? Might even consider a brand new 120d M-Sport 3dr hatch if they were.

Carbon mirror caps may be on the shopping list. Wheels are tricky at the mo, as they're F20/21 specific offsets - so anything new is hard to come by.
Post by: Deako on December 29, 2012, 12:21:41 pm
They'll do a similar deal on anything, Luke - diesels are 3.9% APR too.

That isn't applicable to the M135i. I think any deal you get will take that contribution into account so they both add up to around a total of 10% off.
Did some miles around the Wales GP circuit today, even in the cold and wet it's just so capable. If you get one, deffo ask to have the Supersports instead of runflats, if that's an option to do so on the other models.

As you will doubtless remember, they were known by riders as just "Campag". They also used to make Ferrari wheels.

I also had a Condor winter training bike with room for mudguard clearance. Used to do about 150 training miles every week. I think it's where road sense gets developed and applies well to car driving.

I'm currently running campagnolo on my summer carbon bike, never had it before always been shimano but I'm quite impressed with it. Just deciding whether to do Di2 on my next bike or keep it all Italian?!!!? :happy2:
....Due to serious drops in sales caused by Shimano entering the market, Campag really had to pull their socks up. They did so and Campag vs Shimano is equivalent to Canon vs Nikon, if you get my drift - Both are very good and reliable brands.

I was still at school Robin. Most of my stuff was very secondhand.
It's not about the bike. :wink:
....Very true, but having a bike which could perform better than yourself was very good psychologically - At least it was for me. A broken chain while 50 miles from home and all dressed up in skin tight Lycra and funny clackety shoes was not a nice way to be!

They'll do a similar deal on anything, Luke - diesels are 3.9% APR too.
Carbon mirror caps may be on the shopping list. Wheels are tricky at the mo, as they're F20/21 specific offsets - so anything new is hard to come by.
Still get the dealer deposit contribution on top of the discount?
That isn't applicable to the M135i. I think any deal you get will take that contribution into account so they both add up to around a total of 10% off.
Did some miles around the Wales GP circuit today, even in the cold and wet it's just so capable. If you get one, deffo ask to have the Supersports instead of runflats, if that's an option to do so on the other models.
I see BMW stopped their discounted finance offers on the 31st December. Diesels are up to 8.7% APR and Petrols at 9.1% APR. :sad1:
They have also stopped the dealer deposit contribution, although i expect discount can still be had for the same value.
I guess a BMW is out the equation for me when we need to buy a new car in April/May now.

With £7k discount who cares. 0% APR and a lifetime warranty to 100k miles. Which will get hammered. :happy2:

Good isn't it. I can get the Astra via work with over £6250 discount, but our finance is sheeet!!
If the dealer offer similar discount on an Astra GTC 2.0 16v SRi CDTi I'd be seriously tempted.
I'd have been tempted by an Octavia vRS Blackline too, but at 7.9% apr is a bit ridiculous.

Absolutely Rich, been speaking with Dave @ PDT and Revo to establish what's best for me.
I'd only take it to a tuner with experience of the later tricore ECU, because of the removing and unlocking (which still worries me a tad being an instant & very obvious warranty breaker :scared:).

The GT and VT Panasonics are the best TVs on the market in my opinion... the picture quality is fantastic, the colours are so natural.... THX approved :love:
THX in 3D is stunning, also using my 1000 watt Pioneer Power,Crane Audio speakers is currently being used to its full potential and keeping the neighbours aware of that I'm watching TV at the moment to its full potential!! :evilgrin:

VW are charging £999 fitted just now, until the end of Jan. When I tallied up the cost of an RNS510, Bluetooth module, possible Canbus replacement then fitting on top of that there wasn't much difference so opted for the Kenwood.

Maybe its a new revised version. It just wound me up how it took so long from starting the car to actually feed any music through the system.
ETTO like, not putting it down and it does look the business.

....I'm assuming that Carlo's new camera uses a battery or battery pack and, whether a rechargeable type or not, it's a very good idea to buy an extra battery so you can quickly load it when your onboard battery runs out of juice in the middle of a photo session.
One of the accessories in Carlo's pic - Lower right of first pic - looks like a Lumix recharger. Looking at it more closely I see that the phono plugs lead is not part of it as I first thought.

Today's purchase was Revo stage 1 for my Ed 30! :smiley: It's transformed the car totally, i should have done it ages ago! Best £407 quid I've spent for a while. On our wet and muddy Lincolnshire roads I'm spinning the wheels at 70 :grin:

Sad to say it is in miniture size!!
I also received my brand new OEM open fog grill with rear cover. Pretty boring, but much better than the Chinese repro versions I've seen, and I was very happy with the price compared to buying from my local dealer!

17" ghetto steels. Might add comedy space saver stickers.
where from? do you have a link?
Thanks
Ahh, sorry, they're not much use to you, they're for a BMW.
16"s are very common, I think you can get 17" VAG steels off a van, but you'd need to use a spigot ring.

Looks like you've got a cracking deal, Carlo :congrats:
Sorry guys, forgot to mention that its used :ashamed: Although its only 6mths old and the guy used it 3x. He said its taken less than 100 photos. So still have 6mths warranty :happy2:
The G2's in top condition are averaging £250-£300 still for a used one :confused:

Coincidentally my daughter has just completed a university dissertation called "Better Than Cheesecake" and it's all about provocative images of women from Vargas illustrations to Playboy to the current day. She asked me to proof read it this morning. It's really good but a bit worrying that she appears to have inherited my appreciation of images of hot women! It's nice to know that she has a healthy attitude towards such things - Her writing is brilliant and also very amusing. I may share some in the 'Vote for Sky' thread.

everyone has different needs robin, a good line at my home and my unit are very important to me. I have a CCTV system that records to a NAS drive in the unit, but the data is also sent to my house and backed up in almost real time incase anything happens. For example a break in at the unit and the perps stealing the CCTV HD drive to destroy evidence

Why would you need such high speeds?
For me it is because my 3-year-old is using his iPad to access iPlayer and stream content, often at the same time as my wife and I are using the Internet, so with a normal connection there can be a bottleneck. I have a few digital magazine subscriptions that are around 600Mb per issue. Over a normal connection they takes ages so I have to download them at work.
Post by: ARV_90 on January 17, 2013, 11:01:28 am
I need the speed as we have NAS , 3 phones running wifi , Ipad. On demand TV, Xbox online,skype, come to think of it NAS has nothing to do with the speed ... although it is through the gbit router.
I will check my UL speed out but I have a feeling it's probably the crapy superhub that VM supply.
Post by: JPC on January 17, 2013, 11:23:49 am

I dont think anyone is willy waving, just suggesting your not really getting what you pay for with your virgin line, but whatever.
and yes, get your superhub replaced. Id recommend you a good router i just bought but i wouldnt wanna be accused of router waving
None taken :smiley:
What router have you gone for bud, kinda out of touch with all the new stuff that's about.
Seems a bit odd why the UL is down, I copy films over the wired network from my laptop to NAS and get around the 14mbs average.

Virgin media DL is great... but BT infinity is a better average of DL/UL.
Do me a speed test of it then... BT Phaa...
I get 45Mbps download and about 12 upload on average. Sometime see 50Mbps download.
9 times out of 10 you are limited by the 'other side' not the speed of your connection.

But I remember the days of screechy 56k modems... so I'm not complaining....much.
I would like fibre at some point though, they reckon around March which is ok with me. :smiley:

they would have chewed there way thru ali, even sh*t drill bits would make mince meat out of ali. how big/small was the swarf coming off the stuff you were drilling?
Long thin pieces.... until they went dull, then small bits.

I wanted something that would be a perfect fit for my boot, and something that I could put my shopping bags in.
I found the perfect solution (for me anyway) :smiley:
I saw these folding crates in B&Q today. The were on special offer at 4 for £10 :happy2:
They take seconds to erect (heeheehee) :laugh: and seconds to fold flat again. :wink:
I'm really happy with the fit. I'm also very happy with the quality, and with the function of these crates.
All for 10 squids too. :pomppomp:

I live by the sea and so this morning I txt'd my fishy friend to ask if any scallops were onboard…. Txt reply is "Done". So I go by Waitrose and my fave fresh free range egg noodles are 49p instead of £1 and then on to my fishy friend - Pass him a fiver and he passes me a package wrapped in newspaper - It could have been anything (and yes he is a 'stoner'). I then drop by the butcher lads and get fed some Chinese marinaded meatballs hot out of their oven - They make themselves (and valued customers/friends) titbits. After hanging out with Garry on his market stall selling computer bits (he's in his late 30's and we have the same taste in laydees) perving on any passing essence for half-an-hour I eventually pass my fishy friend who is packing up his stuff. "Hey man, have a great weekend" I say as I walk past and he then calls after me "Hey! Robin!" beckoning so I go over and he grabs a big piece of squid and wraps it in newspaper and says eat it this Sunday. He normally sells me small squids as I like the heads and tentacles. I thank him and then realise I need more noodles, so back to Waitrose (en route home) and pick up the last of the bags which costs 49p reduced. When I get home I find that instead of my usual 6 scallops for a fiver I've got 8.
Worthy of a pic methinks. Now it's time to cook and eat.

Wow! I nearly didn't post that because I thought perhaps that nobody would be interested in what I purchased for dinner. How wrong was I.
I buy all my fish from the same guys: http://www.macsorsons.co.uk/gallery-1
They've been at locally it since 1890 so they know what they're doing and what I buy is all freshly caught. I take their advice about what's good and squid tends to be seasonal. John Dory is another favourite of mine.
Oh yeah, that squid has chilli, garlic, olive oil, lemon, a hot griddle pan and my stomach written all over it!
....Very similar to how I like to cook squid except I use a hot wok. I cut the squid into rings/slices.
The scallops don't get more than about 4 minutes done in the juice of half a lemon. I don't garlic them but mix some Blue Dragon Chilli & Lime sauce in with the fresh egg noodles.
IMO too many people spoil the taste of fish with fancy sauces. I only add lemon juice to lobster but I don't usually buy it because it's so expensive, but he gives me some leftovers sometimes and I don't complain!
Cheers, guys! :drinking: And yes, the scallops were very tasty indeed.

Not a typical wedding ring and not to everyone's taste. But that's part of the appeal for me!
Post by: RedRobin on January 27, 2013, 03:00:45 pm
I really love that carbon wedding ring! But I would love it as a finger ring anyway.
I assume you hadn't lost your original wedding ring. If not lost, I can understand your wifey hating it - If only because it's not the original "With this ring I do thee wed" (or whatever the marriage vow is - It's been a long time). Women are generally different about such things than us blokes are - They attach far more importance to such things. We probably only buy a ring because it's expected of us, otherwise we simply wouldn't bother.
Wearing a wedding ring tends to warn off those who might make a move on the wearer, by being a clear sign that they are in a committed relationship. For that same reason, some much prefer that their partner wears a wedding ring. Personally, as someone who is now single and free to mingle, I always respect a ring on a lady's wedding finger.
That certainly doesn't look like a typical wedding ring - Another reason to enjoy its individuality. If wearing it brings you pleasure, it should bring wifey pleasure (Ooops, I may need to reword that).

Still got the original ring so that will be kept for sentimental reasons!

They are available with a heel pad, but I really didn't want one. I don't like em. :ashamed:
They are £72 delivered I think, so they are about the same as OEM mats.
The quality is far superior though.
They are rubberised on the back. The edging is very neat and the logo is an awesome bit of embroidery.
The actual pile of the carpet is deep and compact. :wink:
They did however make a booboo and sent me the mats with stud fittings. I phoned the company and received the oval clips 2days later. :happy2:

They seem to get em quite often.
It's worth waiting for when you think they retail for £110.
£20 is a crazy price :laugh:
I've had 3 of the 16gb GT's :wink:
I remember paying £69 for my first one years and years ago. :surprised:
Post by: Degudodger on February 04, 2013, 09:39:13 pm
Put it on Autotrader for a couple of hundred more than what i paid for it plus what i had spent on it and it sold 36 hours later giving me a £200 profit.
Went out today with a fist full of £50 notes and bought a Golf GT 170. Rather happy :smiley:

On the toy front it has;
Xenon headlights
Highline display
MFSW
Heated Cloth seats
Sun roof
Climate control (not Dual Zone which is a shame)
Under seat draws
Auto folding mirrors with puddle lights, auto dip when reversing and drivers side auto dimming glass
Rear parking sensors
Phone Prep - Old Nokia 6110 cradle type
Full VW service history
Think one of the rear bearings needs replacing so will check it out tomorrow but apart from that its in pretty good condition.

Its a little high on the miles but as my daily commute has dropped from 90-100 miles a day to hopefully 30 it balances out. I managed to knock the seller down by £600 and paid less than £5400 :grin:

Don't give her too much credit mate! She knew I was after a DA, it was the guys at Polished Bliss that did the rest (just along the road from us!) as the do a kit that comes with everything you need to get started!

Still got snow?? :surprised:
Yep, in Aberdeenshire mate. Snowed again at the weekend, only a couple of inches though. Forecast again today and off and on for the rest of the week. Holding off just now though. Other parts of Scotland also got it I believe.

The instructions on the back of the tube are:
Clean caliper and coat inside with Cera Tec, also piston heads and pad backing plates. Not used before so not 100% sure if it works but have read about people using it so thought I would give it a go while upgrading the brakes, as hate brake squeal.

Yes mate I do, I keep change in one.

Love RNS 315, It is so much faster than RNS 510 i had (based on B version) only downside is updating maps can be expensive?

The great thing about those Start sets is that they have adjustable controllers, so you can restrict how fast the cars go. The sets are probably still as fragile as Scalextric always have been though.

We have 2 girls (grown up now) but it still didn't stop me from buying the youngest a Scalextric set for a present one birthday/Christmas. She loved it, as did I. My lovely wifey thought I was barking! :laugh:

Bought some cloth Recaro's last week, then picked up the GTI on Saturday to put them in! :smiley:

Glad you succeeded in getting them, Dave! [it was you who PM'd me about Recaro's, IIRC]

It takes quite a bit for me to feel comfortable to leave my car with anyone :signLOL:
Happy to say though, that Alex dealt with the whole process very professionally and his attention to detail was exceptional. Nothing ever seems to much for him and "seems" (haha) to be happy to answer any questions/queries along the way.

Yeah, for the amount of money I want to spend the Cube bikes look favourable. It's just the 26/29" wheel thing that I'm undecided on still. If it was anyone else I'd tell them to grow some balls and get it sorted!

Agreed, the staff in any Halfords store i have went to have been really bad with regards to their product knowledge, either that or you get told the person who deals with the product you are enquiring about isnt in today :confused:

Porsche water and oil caps something different from the normal A8 oil cap
oil cap not dead straight but not far out and could be moved around same as the A8 I think

29'ers are shocking off road, as my brother is finding out after forking out £1k on a specialized one... you just can't throw them around as much, and get the leverage over the back end... :sick:
I read the opinions of many of the leading Pro Cross County racers, the majority of whom preferred, and won races on 29ers. They'll always cause debate, and it may be that your brother is simply not adapting to his new bike very well.

Well since I have been waiting to be paid and get January out the way I have now treated my, well the motorbike to a few new bits and pieces ready for the 'summer'.
So on the list we have Oxford Nano indicators for the rear. Current ones are shocking and don't fancy getting rear ended when someone doesn't see them.
(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bikersworldstore.co.uk%2Fmedia%2Fcatalog%2Fproduct%2Fcache%2F1%2Fimage%2F9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95%2Fn%2Fa%2Fnano-black.jpg&hash=15913886f89f2beeb3c4b56f87d76d2872b54cc1)
New 45 tooth rear sprocket. Standard is 42 tooth so this one should give it a little more acceleration.

I have downloaded a map to load in, aptly named TOD or Tune of Death by its maker so eager to see what that is like.
Also a boring battery for my laptop as mine is dead and needs to be plugged in all the while.
Ages ago but ah well!

Looking good mate, very nice. Always admired Triumphs, keep talking myself out of a Daytona 675 each year! I've got a K4 Gixxer 600, must get a few bit sorted before summer! Yep, in Derby/Burton too.

why is the front wheel diff from the back though
is that just the way you do it on bikes ?
love the design of the back wheel
:drool:
Thanks Scott. The reason it looks different is mine has a single side swing arm (which is standard) instead of the normal double sided. Not completely sure what advantages there are but I suppose it lets them make a feature of the wheel.
Luka - Howcome you keep talking yourself out of one? Fantastic engine. I test rode a Street Triple the same time as the Speed and thought it was great. Physically just a little too small for me. You can't beat the noise of a triple either with a nice pipe on :wink:
If you know Derby/Burton you must know Swadlincote aswell?

Just keep thinking how little I use the Gixxer really, do need to use it more! Yeah I know Swad, is that where you are then? Seem to recall you work at Royces too, is it Aero?
Yeah I'm in Swad. Good memory. I'm at Royces yeah. Down the Sinfin Lane end. Work in machine tool maintenance. Have to drop me a message if you're everin the Swad/Burton area.

Is that a Bosch? I bought one a while back and it isn't that great. Only washes OK if you have it on the really hot setting, otherwise the washing tabs don't dissolve. Even then we sometimes have to leave bits in for a second go or just wash them by hand!
Yeah it's a Bosch... Seems to clean very well to be honest.

That's good then. Just wish I hadn't splashed 600 nicker on the top of the range one. I get 'round the non-dissolving tabs issue by putting it on the 65° setting.

The Siemens and Bosch machines are the same, they're just badge engineered like a Polo and an Audi A1. I went to buy a Siemens and the salesman told me I'd save £100 by purchasing the same machine with a different name stuck on it. We do have a Siemens washing machine, though, but got that at £400 off the RRP and was the reason I wanted a Siemens dishwasher initially.
The machine we have has a separate drawer for cutlery and the machine plops the tablet into a little compartment on the shelf below that. It sits in there and doesn't dissolve occasionally. Could just be something blocking the correct operation, as it is only now and then...?

I don't think that is True about siemens. The retailer makes more money on a Bosch . Similar to top of the range golf clubs , a set of irons like Titleist/Pings sell for £700 and the retailer makes about £60. A £250 full set with bag/trolley/woods/irons they will make about £120 . :innocent:

Must be the same on TV's (and many others) as when I went to buy my current Panasonic a few years ago the salesman was trying to get me to buy a cheaper LG by saying it was better even though it wasn't. I had already decided on the Panny anyway but they must have been making more on the cheaper LG than the more expensive Panny.
Post by: scottm72 on February 27, 2013, 12:27:47 am
my fault i think, not sure if this thread likes to go into a products warts and all.
Would like to say something about the above though,
i cant see why a salesman / retailer wouuld make more money from selling a bosch over a seimens product,
seimens products are way more expensive than bosch and at the end of the day he will just advise what the best product is for his store to sell you.
I ran a Comet hyper store about 8 years ago and the products we pushed where dictated to us by the profit margin - nothing else,
Different manufacturers have different deals all the time and try to beat each other in order to make the selling store push that item over another.
Occasionally you will get a salesman who genuinely just wants to help you out but to get a salesman who IS GENUINE and also knows what he is talking about is very rare.
They have no idea on an items durability / comeback as they only know about an items faults when the customer comes back in years down the line for a new one and he gets told how crap the old one was.
In comet before i was a manager we got commision on every item we sold on top of our minimum wage, sales meetings in the mornings briefed us as to what we where to push that day,
most items in a store carry a 1p commision pay to the selling salesman, some 10p and so on,
if someone like hoover / hotpoint / dyson etc wants a lot of a specific item sold they decrease the shops buying in price for a set number of them ( say 5000 units or so ) and the company like Comet etc then puts the commision for that item up to a high figure in order for the salesman to push it like crazy,,, a customer then comes in looking for a washing machine or something, they may look at something like a led dyson at say £500.
The salesman knows by an alpha numeric code built into the items description which only the staff can understand and this code tells him straight away that if he sells this machine to this customer he will make something like 5p commision,,,,, most machines ranged from 1p to £1,,,,,
he will then convince the customer why she should buy the machine with the high commision,,, it may only be a £200 machine but he will use things like reliability / no breakages that he knows off / its not electronic so more reliable etc etc etc, basically any old p*ss as long as she buys it.
Little does she know that specific machine carries a £10 commision rate,,,, now do that 5 times a day and thats £50 a day more wages :congrats:
Few weeks down the line the commision offer ends, the 5000 units have been sold, the buying price is back to normal and it starts all over again with a new item with a high commision.
One saturday i done a 12hr shift and sold 22 vacuum cleaners with a selling price of just £90, i made £10 commision on each one :surprised:
most of the people i sold to came in for a dyson, we where told to use our sales skill to make this vacuum cleaner as good as the dyson, when customers where shown the vacuum in action and explained the cost saving against a £350 dyson it was very simple.
A lot of big companies have done away with commision now for the salesman but they are still told what item has to be promoted, it should also be noted that a salesmans product knowledge / skill set when it comes to selling large electrical items is generally very poor these days unless it is a smaller company who can sometimes have more time for you and more pride in their work.
Never trust a salesman
Do your own homework, find the item, grill the salesman, get their best price, go home check loads of reviews, if you still want it then buy it in the cheapest place ( sometimes it can be beneficial to pay a few quid more in order to get it from a trusted outlet with a customer service that you can fall back on )
In case i didnt mention it before
never trust a salesman :happy2:

She was very impressed and then she noticed the torpedo tube. She asked me where I got it from, smiled, and said it probably wasn't a good idea to show daddy until the whole model was painted (disguising the tubes). She gave me another tube, bless her (R.I.P.). I'm sure I don't have to spell it out that the tubes were 1960's Tampax!

Great story Robin. Bought a real smile to my face.
One of my previous builds was U-99, probably the most famous U-Boat Captained by a chap nicknamed "Silent Otto" as the man was a tactical master and a virtual ghost and sunk 40 odd vessels, a real nightmare for our boys.
(No tampons or "lady items" were used in my build)

Well I got to collect my new brakes yesterday. Tarox 6 pots with 320mm discs and uprated discs and pads for the rear.
I got a brilliant price on them I thought but I'm not sure if anyone has actually got a set or had any experience with these? Planning using the car for practicing on the track this year so it wont get used too much on the road, just the odd time really. From what I'm told by the sales guy, the bell housing doesn't usually come in the anodised red but they did it just for me... but I'm taking that with a pinch of salt and doubt it's actually true.

Have you fitted them yet? Love to see how they look... are there any benefits other than cosmetic?
Post by: RoMocop on March 09, 2013, 04:44:14 pm
That's a really good price... and the fit is good!? Thanks for sharing that mate. :happy2:

No probs mate- I fitted them purely for looks, I guess they might help with cooling a little.

Got this for a £85 with HP's £100 offer; 4 - 5 bay, eSATA, RAID controller... tis great. Getting around 80-90MB/s wired from PC :)
I have 2 of these. Very versatile bit of kit
I'm well happy with mine, getting some great transfer rates... this was about 5 mins in:

That's as quick as I get from eSATA, but this baby is sat in the garage! :laugh: Ace. :smiley:
Still even at a good rate, 1TB is a lot of data to write.

Moving back towards civilisation (well Dyce near Aberdeen anyway)! Sealed the deal on our own house today and at the same time sealed the deal on this place.
Really chuffed - the building to the left is an extended garage that's been converted into a home office. That will be my man cave. :rolleye:
Plenty of room to extend behind the house, to make it the place we want, in the location we want. More of a long term project really - hopefully worth it!
All being well, moving in 4 weeks time.

Yours obviouslly isnt going by the extension, looks good.
We considered dyce / westhill / banchory,,,, only thing that put us off dyce and westhill was the traffic going to and from town - it is a bloody nightmare esp westhill.
Ended up in Banchory so we will be neighbours - ish.
Bet your purchase is the most expensive thing to go on this thread to date :congrats: :congrats:

Dyce is perfect for us as the wee man already goes to nursery there and this is 5 min along the road. I can walk to the station and be at work in 10 minutes instead of sitting in the traffic at the airport roundabout for 30-40 min each day. Wife is working in Westhill just now but she'll be going agains the main flow of traffic both ways - though she will get stuck in a bit at Westhill, but nothing like what we've got now.Ahh i see, that works out really well,,, good luck in your new home AND THE COOL BATCAVE :drinking:

First one was fitted, powered up and then turned itself off! VW had another in the dealership as it was due to go into someone elses car later that week. They stuck that in mine as they could order another one for the other car. That one was fine - for a couple of weeks then it started switching itself off and on randomly, until it finally gave up the ghost and stopped working altogether. VW then replaced that one a month back and touch wood, it's been fine!!

Not planning on hooking up an iPod connection but did read that the USB is on the rear and is need for a few things. Can I just plug a USB extension cable in to it and leave it in the glovebox?

Yep, thats what I've done now. I've got the ipod lead which connects to the female USB connector as it's integrated into the unit (if that makes sense), so you will just be able to run it from the back through to the glove box. Annoyingly VW didnt do this, they just routed the ipod connection through the glove box with the USB socket right behind the head unit, so I had to dismantle the dash to get into the back of the head unit and pull the cable through myself. Means I can just unplug the ipod and plug in my USB stick when I need to update.

They're 100W according to the packaging, that means they are not street legal...
They might be the 55W bulbs which give off 100W. The camera flash has made it a bit unclear.
I have these which are 55W but give off 100W and are street legal:

New windscreen :sick: due to our motorways being covered in big stones that get flicked up and cracked my screen :fighting:
yup, me too. picked up a huge impact on friday - too big to fix so a new screen is necessary.
on a more positive note, recent purchase:

Very interested in how a soundbar actually sounds whether it is comparable to full on 5.1 system or not.
They have squeezed this lot in there:
2x ø90mm (3.5 in) subwoofers
2x ø75mm (3.0 in) midrange
4x ø75mm (3.0 in) surround channels
1x ø25mm (1 in) metal dome tweeter
Obviously you don't get the sound coming from speakers behind you with 5.1, but its good enough without the clutter of speakers, woofers, tweeters and wires.
You can set it up to the distance away your sitting and if you sitting to the right or left, all HDMI and I think you can get an extra wireless Subwoofer.
The remote is good, one touch activities turns on and off devices and sorts out the inputs :happy2:

I must admit my lounge has a full 5.1 system which is not the most discrete looking. As it's only me and the cat I don't get too many objections. :wink:

Purchased a cube road bike 11 months ago to see if I enjoyed it, I certainly did so picked up a boardman carbon road bike to replace it which seems about the best value bike under £1500 after a few sessions on the turbo and 2 30 mile rides this week is an absolute joy. (I've already replaced the white bar tape with black tape)

Got a sonos play 3 a few weeks back and quite frankly, it's one of the best devices I've ever used, sound quality is stunning and the ease/convenience makes it a joy to use.

After intending to put the play 3 in the lounge it very quickly ended up in the bike/turbo trainer room and seeing as though I was so blown away by it, I couldn't help but add a play 5 to the lounge. Sound quality is another level again. Very impressed but can't help but think maybe another play 3 is needed for the kitchen :laugh:

Not from me they don't!
The tyres I had fitted didn't like crossing the white lines either. Whilst overtaking the car would get all squirrely when you hit the centre lines with the pedal to the metal.
Maybe I'm expecting too much of them, but I expect a tyre marked M+S to work in the wet, too. And they do not do this...

Yup. Wasn't overly impressed that I had to do it over my home network, as it meant pulling my networked home cinema apart to borrow the bits required to do it. Done now, though and it sounds pretty damn good compared to the weedy TV speakers.

Thanks Nathan. Currently battling with dust, they are still building a lot of houses on site, and heavy gear and dumper trucks go past our house daily. The dust sucks onto our drive like a vortex. :sad1: The car had a few mm of dust on it the first week we were there, and i hadnt sorted the garage out or even unpacked my pressure washer. In a rush, i took it to a local jetwash. You can guess the rest. It needs some loving now.
That gable end wall looks wonky...... are you sure its ok? :grin:
Congrats Luke... looking forward to seeing what the new garage will hold!
:signLOL:
It can fall down for all i care, its under warranty.
Since the pictures were taken we have a proper layer of tarmac on the driveway.
Spent close to £1k on bits and pieces for the house already i reckon. Just custom made blinds and various trips to homebase/b&q/ikea etc. And also had to spend £800 on some groundwork in the garden to have a slab base laid for our dog kennel, and a gravelled/fenced off area for the dogs. Not to mention the £720 the kennel cost us. Jeesh..........good job we have been saving for the house for a while.

i paid in total £27 for line rental and broadband TOTAL for the year...so couldnt say no.
Received their "router" which sync's 4mb less than BE or Virgin ever did so bought a Draytek Vigor 120 as they use Infineon chipsets and the equipment at the exchange does too, all in all 0.5mb more than i ever got with any ISP and 5ms less ping.

Why 50%?? someone to halve the bills with (of which I'm sure there will be many)

I have one of the Young Expert Plus for my son. Very good seat and will last him till he is about 4yrs old. He has only just turned 1 so it was a good investment.

Took a while to fine one as good as this, well worth the 3am start and 500 mile round trip to collect. Driving experience is a hoot (proof you don't need a whole heap of bhp to have fun) , you need your heavy boots on for the brakes!! :scared:

That's the one we plan to get next. In addition to being a good seat, they look much better than most in my opinion.

Nice. I looked at that one, but wasn't convinced it was worth the money compared with the one I ended up getting.
Cheers mate. I did look at the Sonos system but I think it lacks bass and by the time you add up the price of the sub too its over a grand. I also managed to get the Samsung with £120 off so that was also the deciding factor for me. :happy2:

No not really :signLOL:
Its a bit bonkers because we hardly have a bath (might change once weve done the bathroom) but I hate taps, they get dirty... so this will work perfectly (hopefully). Got the matching shower too, with remote "on/off" switch :smiley:

Originally wanted the Young Expert as liked the idea of having the Isofix base option, but needed the seat straightaway and John Lewis no longer stock the Young Expert , that and we had £150 JLP vouchers to spend swung it for the Young Sport :smiley:
Tried loads of different seats and cool factor aside it was the one that fitted the sculpted rear bench and felt the most sturdy! :happy2:

Camskill wouldn't price match and Black Circles wouldn't do a deal either.
Was very pleased with the price anyhow, but if you don't ask you don't get.

And the biggie. A Custom Shop 1972 Reissue Closet Classic Telecaster. Going to need to shift a couple of Teles though if their are any guitards looking for a new instrument. I'd have never bought a Closet Classic guitar as the idea of buying a guitar that's been made to look old(er) is just madness to me, but it's such a nice instrument. It was the Wayne's World "Oh yes, she will be mine" moment.

Also replaced my external hard drive, as the 320GB one I was using to back up my PC stopped working. Quickly realised it was because it was full up, not broked!
Bought some 200Mb Netgear homeplugs while I was in the shop, too, as my upstairs PC was being a bit flakey connecting to the web over wiffy and kept telling no connection. I then found out that the ethernet socket on the PC didn't work. Turned out the drivers had never been installed. Found a great program that goes through your whole computer and then downloads all the latest ones, as well as all the ones that are missing...

I've been using it since it launched and find it to be great. Can have all my music (about 11gb) on my phone taking up very little space.
Plus I do the same on my iPad and Apple TV and wherever I purchase a song it's automatically on the others. Plus i now have 256kbps quality music for all my songs/albums rather than the 128kbps they were before. At no extra charge or space (on my iPad iPhone or ATV)
Each to there own and all that though.

Except Google Play allows the same and is free. But doesn't work natively with my Apple tech anywhere near as well.

1. I can't just put songs from my computer on my iDevices now, I have to download them from Match instead. This brings me onto point 2...
2. If I create a mixed artist playlist from tunes downloaded via Match, the volume of said tunes is all over the shop. You get loud one, quiet one, nuvver loud one, REALLY LOUD ONE, quiet one etc, etc. turning on the sound check thing does feck all.

Bugger. Could have got you 30% off your contract if you went with Vodafone. One of the few benefits of working for them!

Did when I tried it. Attempted to drag some songs onto my iPod Touch and it said I couldn't do it because the iPod had iTunes Match enabled. Wouldn't have a clue whether you can do it on an iPhone because I've never owned one!

Me too, its all personal preference. Ive been with iOS since the iPhone 3G now. I just dont like Android, plain and simple. Some of the handsets are stunning though. It does get tiresome when the bashing takes place on both sides. Its not as simple as agreeing to disagree though, people HAVE to be right.
Hae you played with android for a while though? When I switched to android on my S4 it took me about 2 days to like it and then love it as was so used to ios. Now i know for a fact ;) that it's better due to what it can do and it's functions, ye some may prefer ios but in terms of what it can do android wins hands down :)

....Bought some 200Mb Netgear homeplugs while I was in the shop, too, as my upstairs PC was being a bit flakey connecting to the web over wiffy and kept telling no connection. I then found out that the ethernet socket on the PC didn't work. Turned out the drivers had never been installed. Found a great program that goes through your whole computer and then downloads all the latest ones, as well as all the ones that are missing...
Got a link to the program mate?

My 2nd PC is still running XP, which this works really well for coz XP isn't that great at driver updates and they can be a pig to find. If you have any yellow question marks in your hardware list this program will sort them out. It does autorun, though, so if you don't want that then uninstall or msconfig its ass!

Yes, purchased a Galaxy S3 and kept it for a week with my iPhone 5 in its box. Just couldnt put up with the OS. And im an uber techy working in Level 3 support. Just dont like Android. I also had to put up with a cheaper Android phone previously in between iPhones, this was an extended use and i hated the Android phone.
I just find iOS does everything i need well. Works with all my Apple tech seamlessly.
If someone wasnt already part of the Apple ecosystem, i can understand the lure for them.
But yes, we are going O/T.
To keep this on track:
My M135i has now arrived at the dealership and i pick it up on the 2nd September.

We've had loads of hoovers through the family, all the usual Dyson rubbish from way back to the DC01, they just don't last, our original Kirby is 20 years old and still picks up well. Weighs a tonne though, combated by the latest ones which have power assistance; can move heavy chairs out of the way. :signLOL:

The 70-200mm F/4 (Non IS) is such a great lens. Tack sharp and exceptional value for money :)
I can't wait to try it out, got to wait until my brother brings it out to Mallorca for me in a few weeks though! It should be a good replacement for the 55-250 EFS IS lens I've been using, its a good lens but just little disappointing wide open at anything over 125mm. Couldn't see the point in the extra for the f2.8 as there is always plenty of light out in Mallorca or wherever I am during the season.

I'm just organising funds for the 70D plus two L IS lenses. Might be a few weeks. But I have been using my daughter's 100D and also considered the 700D and 7D before arriving at the 70D as suiting my needs best of all although I don't do video.
Crop-frame, articulated LCD, new fast autofocus, are all deal makers for me. In the pre-digital era I owned an EOS-1 and so I'm already familiar with the interface.

Just now need to get them in for a refurb, thinking dark grey for the silver ED30. Roll on winter, they will be so easy to clean.

The distance and range in comparison to a £1.99 so called LED from the petrol station is immense. I had ordered a P7 & P3 combo offer, but they ran out of the P7 so sent a B7 instead, apparently its the same torch but just comes with a bike mount instead that i wont use.

The NITECORE breed are truly ridiculous though:

That's about the same length as the B7 above, albeit a lot more expensive.
The LED Lenser B7 puts out about 200 lumen the Nitecore 3500 lumen, it's like comparing a Veyron to a Lada.
If you do look into it, you'll see that the LED Lenser are quite over priced for what they offer in terms of output and quality of light... just saying.

No, they are four stroke and much heavier. I like the punch of a two stroke. Our present boat has a 90 Etec and its been faultless, and really powerful. Most of my boating is wake boarding, skating, skiing and donoughting, so the 'out of the hole punch' will be perfect with the 150HO. I tried the 140 Suzuki, which was another option, but was always left wanting more. It will fly with the 150 on it :jumping:

Thanks for the comments. They are still fairly rare on the roads. It's a great seller for Skoda, but you still don't see many.

You could have bought Kristy a Lotus if Storm wasn't such a gigantic pooch :signLOL:Cheers Carlo! Yeah if only Storm wasn't so massive then we could've widened our search criteria massively. Kristy fell in love with a brand new Octavia Vrs in Candy White with all the toys but the boot just wasn't big enough.
Awesome estate though Matt. :happy2:
I'll be sure to get the new motor into DSD soon to have a once over too! :happy2:
I also think the Yeti is an excellent little motor......we looked at one yesterday but the boot is tiny so unfortunately it was a non-starter!

Seats fold completely out the way and can be removed though.
Must admit, if we had bigger dogs it would be no good, but our double crate fits in the back no bother. Couldn't even get it in the A3. Doh!!

Sounds perfect then matey. Our big dog is 50kgs and very tall and our little one is 25 kgs so really need a big boot. Would be interested in a longer wheelbase Yeti! :happy2:I also think the Yeti is an excellent little motor......we looked at one yesterday but the boot is tiny so unfortunately it was a non-starter!

Lovely wheels there mate... definitely resist the temptation, let your current wheels take all the salt/snow/ice/slush/oil/leaves/abuse... come May they will be pristine with some lovely new boots for show season. :happy2:
Cheers, lucky they have no tyres, just bought 4 new winter tyres for my monza's so won't be putting rubber on them for a while

Oil for me pending service, new center caps for my winter monza's, & the freshly collected refurbed monza's for winter. Look too good to get all salty now.

But looky looky, guess who decided to quietly make the ipad mini Retina available to buy during the middle of the night?!
Apple have admitted the ipad Mini retina will be very sparse on stock due to the availablility of screens.
Mine should arrive on Friday!!

What did you get for your ipad mini 32gb (1) ??
Im not usually bothered about buying into apple updates... but this one appeals to me simple because of the screen.
I got £250 for the original iPad Mini. It was just out of the year's warranty (yesterday) and had a tiny scratch on the screen, barely noticeable. Otherwise it was in as new condition. Apple now only sell the 16GB version although there are plent other sellers (Tesco) selling for £319 new so I got a fairly good price.
Are you lookng to sell as well Hedge?

Awesome watch fella, LOVE the clock too. :notworthy:I've had mine for about 5 years now and it's just been in for its first service, hence why I came away with this latest Seamaster. I made the mistake of checking out the new watches whilst waiting to collect mine after it was serviced. I have also just bought a Tudor from my recent holiday which was a steal! My obsession seems to be taking over, so much so that I have been given a watch buying ban for 12 months! :sad1:Aha!! I spot another watch freak besides myself!

I fell out of the back of a van with my hands full when I was helping somebody move which seemed to stretch the first clasp, then it was replaced and I slipped over on some diesel in a petrol station and did the same thing again only this time a replacement clasp hasn't solved the issue.

For £8 it's worth a go, complete scratch and stone chip removal system. Gonna try it somewhere inconspicuous to see if the colour match is spot on.

When I ordered one for my car from the dealer it just came as 1 red touch up. I am tempted to go and get the Halfords kit.

Had a gone with it, you can either use a brush, which is much finer then the Vw touchpen,which if you've used one before can put too much paint down for such small chips as per the pic above. That nozzle gives extremely small amounts which is ideal.
I need a polisher machine to do this properly and to help level the paint, but after a quick go,the front end looks much happier. Well worth the money IMO.

It's a red primer, tornado red only in each pen, the 3rd one is a black gloss one I bought separately due to my car being both colours :grin:

Followed up with something a little more interesting but sadly not mine :sad1:
Was tasked with sorting out my father in laws retirement present so at least i'll get to drive it pretty often, finally found one yesterday for a pick up next sunday and i'm probably more excited than him tbh! :jumping:

For all those that drive a Gti these wont be that interesting but from driving on SE seats this will transform my drive until the MK6 GT grey tartan come down in price.
They are GT/sport seats from an 58 plate Jetta sport at a bargain price and the fronts have draws if anyone is interested?

They are clean but I will still give them a thorough clean before they go in the car. Sorry for the dark pics
Also purchased spline bit kit from ebay for the bolts to fit once clean.
I have also spent a small amount on a full set of Charleston wheels. It may mean that my VZ's might be for sale.

Should come in handy if the weather turns snowy but it's mainly a toy as my father in law has wanted a 90 since being a lad so this is his retirement present to tinker and polish :smiley:

Yeah straight fit, 1.5kg lighter than the 345mm version, better cooling vanes and the smaller size means you don't get the lip round the disc edge when they wear :happy2:
Basically. Win... Win..... With extra WIN!!!

so these will fit mkv GTI 06
but not std 345 mm that is on GTI
but 340 mm so slightly smaller and 1.5 k lighter
so whats with the 5mm saving just weight not stopping power ?
is the link the correct ones to order
thanks in advance
Post by: rich83 on December 26, 2013, 12:32:03 am
You lose 5mm of diameter which is unswept so theoretically won't negatively impact on braking force.
Post by: patpong_pete on December 26, 2013, 12:51:31 am
They fit under r32 calipers. Not stock GTI (5,6,7) calipers.
You lose 5mm of diameter which is unswept so theoretically won't negatively impact on braking force.
so no good for my std calipers thats came from factory
the only way to get these discs 340 30 is to get r32 rs3 calipers put on ?
what should i replace my disc with ?
std orig 312 25
or 345 25 ( which i think will need bigger calipers r32 etc... )
thanks for your help and advice
Post by: rich83 on December 26, 2013, 01:09:58 am
Standard calipers in GTI =312mm
R32 calipers =345mm OR 340mm disc.
Rs3.... Don't worry about them.
Post by: patpong_pete on December 26, 2013, 01:14:21 am
You are confusing so many types of brakes.
Standard calipers in GTI =312mm
R32 calipers =345mm OR 340mm disc.
Rs3.... Don't worry about them.

With the recent rain then freezing temperatures the rubber door seals have been sticking to the doors making then difficult to open sometimes, hopefully a liberal application of Einszett Gummi Pflege Stift will sort it out :)

Not a massive purchase.I tried that, waste of time for me sorry to say! DuPont Krytox GPL105 is what you need, expensive at around £30 for 15ml but it is used on aircraft door seals so if its good enough for 35000ft and -60c then it'll do me! VW also sell it primarily for EOS roof seals but it works wonders elsewhere too. VW part #G 052 172 A1. Cheaper elsewhere though. I believe GBR Technology resell it in a foam applicator bottle which is ideal for rubber seals.

It's replaced a well specd 2009 pro which had 8gb ram so I wasn't expecting it to be too different but tbh they've really moved the game on. It's so much smaller, not just in thickness but width and depth. The old one feels like a brick in comparison. Load times are none existent with everything, it's all instant. These SSD drives certainly make a difference. My old mac would take a few mins to complete booting, opening spotify, sonos program and be ready to use. This one is ready to go in 12 seconds.
Battery is lasting 7-10 hrs in normal internet use with full brightness which is almost 3 times as long as my old one.
And the retina display is incredible, probably the best bit! Pin sharp, lovely and bright and even after just an hr of use, looking at the old screen looked like it was some really low res phone screen from 10 years ago. It looked so nice before, it's amazing how quickly you adjust to a new standard.
I was a bit reluctant to be treated to what felt like a pretty unnecessary gift but no one is prising it out of my fingers now. My apple love is restored after losing a lot of love for them over the past few years of poor iPhone releases :notworthy:

The two copters can be repaired for £4.99 as they do a rotor spares kit and are not throw away as some helicopters are.

Nope! :smiley:
Got a little carried away and it was a great deal.
The guy I bought it from sold me Phoenix RC simulator for a tenner when I picked it up. He made me promise to get to grips with it before attempting to fly it! I will.
Went into a reasonably local RC shop earlier today to scope it out (parts may be required) and to source a charger (the only thing I don't have).
The guy thought I was a little off my nut - In an evil genius kind of way! :evilgrin:
Didn't at any point tell me it was the worst choice I have ever made - just to be careful. Kind of like teaching yourself to drive with a Dodge Viper in the wet! :driver:

Just waiting on a couple of bits from Germany which will hopefully arrive tomorrow but i need to wet sand the headlights before i fit them.
Buying the headlights bare, used ballasts, new igniters, new bulbs, wiring adapter and repair kit has cost £406.16 which given there are some pretty awful Xenons on ebay at the moment for £450+ i don't think i've done that bad.

My rear bumper lower valance is painted black - debating whether to do the same with my front centre section. I've seen done on some other spoilers and think it looks smart.

Lowepro SF lens changing belt bag. Allows you to swop lenses without fear of dropping one! Also totally weatherproof with special integrated cover tucked away when not in use.
Lowepro camera gear bags etc really are extremely thoroughly thought out. I already have a Lowepro Toploader Pro sling bag 202 AW (All Weather).

It's more like I'm going out for a walk and I pick up my phone to spot that the battery is at 15%. I used to put it on charge and the walk would have to wait ( well, the dogs I was walking would have to wait more specifically). Now I can charge it and go for the walk at the same time.
I think it's probably designed for people who are camping for a few days with no electric available, but it works for forgetful people like me, too!
Fit a pouch to the dog, pop the phone & charger in and it'll charge in no time at all. :laugh:

eBay. It's only a cheapy. Hopefully send obd data to Harrys Lap timer fine. If not, I'll be ordering a GoPoint BT1.

Post by: rich83 on January 16, 2014, 09:00:44 am
It will most likely have an IP of 192.168.0.10, you need to assign a static IP to your phone of 192.168.0.11 and subnet of 255.255.255.0. The SSID is normally wifiOBD or wifiOBD2, passwords are usually 12345678 (if required). Proxy needs to be manually set to 192.168.0.10 and port 35000.

Only problem with it, is the engine, 1.9D N/A for reasons that are two fold: 1. It's slow, very slow 2. Tax isn't great.

My latest buy is a little black box. It's a Rega phono stage with a built in DAC for converting vinyl to digital. Not actually used it yet, as I'm gonna get the deck serviced first and that will be around 200 quid including a new cartridge.

Looks great... Ive got a NAD one that i dont use anymore. I probably would if it had the USB socket. :happy2:

Just fitted two of these Toyo Proxes T1 Sport 235/40/18's on the front of the A4, replacing Conti Sport 3's so was a little worried about the difference but so far I have been hugely impressed, they feel steady, grip and stability in the wet is great and they're also very quiet. At £105 a corner I think I'll be putting a couple more on the rear in a month or two.

They only squeal because the discs I fitted them to are not grooved. Wasn't serious squeal imo. Very slow speed just gently touching the pedal.
No issue if they are on a grooved disc and going flat out everywhere.

Driveway on a Flat ?

Driveway on a Flat ?
Where I am from in Central Scotland, some house designs allow the bottom flat to have the front garden.
I guess it is similar in Edinburgh?

If you're metal to metal, pad to piston, then this stuff really helps. 3M brake shims and Ceratec. I used to have to use these when running naughty pads that don't come with backing.

Where I'm from, every flat around Edinburgh is built to a completely different design. No two the same.
We've got a 1930's, built by the coal board, what i call a 'two-up, two-down four in a block'. We are 1st floor so get equal rear garden but also the side of the house/flat. It's about 4(ish) metres wide so plenty room. The neighbour we are beside has already gone for a mono block driveway so we will just be keeping up with the Jones'! :wink:
Wikipedia has kinda heard of them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottage_flat

Ordered 28/12/13 and arrived Friday. Apparently VW, Germany no longer hold these and they need to be ordered direct from the supplier who will only do a production run for a minimum of 100. So i bought two :smiley:

Nope, a maisonette is like a flat with two internal floors, in a bigger building.
Our place is four seperate homes, each with an external (own) door but inside it's all one level.
It's got 85m^2, so for a first home (at 24 y/o) I'm happy with it. Not something for life. Ideally I'll end up in a detached house, secure area with double/triple garage.
:happy2:

If one of those were for sale the estate agent would definitely refer to it as a maisonette...

That's the official description, I think, but most people from southern England would describe a house-like building with a dwelling on each floor and (quite often) an external staircase as a maisonette.

Ha ha, you're right. That's the type of building. When describing it to the missus' mum she called it a house/flat/villa. So I think we've covered all the bases. In Scotland it's mostly refered to as 'my house' regardless of what type of accomodation you live in. :laugh:
We sorted the mortgage for our place over the weekend, scary stuff! :scared:
What mortgage did you go for? As we're first time buyers (single income for two) we didn't have much choice but to go for 4.99% fixed for two years with 5% deposit. Less than £450 a month though, and no mortgage fees.
Means more money for shiney bits for the car. Or a 2nd shiney car 'for the missus'. :happy2:

Very nice Cube mate, I've not long since built a Cube fritzz for a friend. Have you checked if the forks have had the recall done? Some thing to do with the internals but I'm not sure specifically call Mojo and speak to them. But any fox 34 evo fork should be checked for the fault.

Hi mate, its a 2014 bike so no issues with this years forks. It was the 2013 forks that were the issue but mainly the 32's from what I've read. Apparently the only real solution for the 2013 forks is to have the internals replaced with this years internals. Put me off any 2013 bike bargains to be honest.
I've been blown away by the bike tbh, 160mm travel, reverb, 34mm forks, fat tyres, wide rims and it still only weights 12.8kg and climbs better than my old trance x :laugh: I'm like a new rider on the techy descents now, thought I'd reached my capability but I'm trying everything I never attempted before and I'm getting braver and braver (or more stupid)

Make sure when you remove the wiring connection you just pull the Hazard light one and not the one right next to it (airbag on/off indicator wire) otherwise you will get the airbag fault light and it will need clearing with VagCom :wink:

Very nice Cube mate, I've not long since built a Cube fritzz for a friend. Have you checked if the forks have had the recall done? Some thing to do with the internals but I'm not sure specifically call Mojo and speak to them. But any fox 34 evo fork should be checked for the fault.
Hi mate, its a 2014 bike so no issues with this years forks. It was the 2013 forks that were the issue but mainly the 32's from what I've read. Apparently the only real solution for the 2013 forks is to have the internals replaced with this years internals. Put me off any 2013 bike bargains to be honest.
I've been blown away by the bike tbh, 160mm travel, reverb, 34mm forks, fat tyres, wide rims and it still only weights 12.8kg and climbs better than my old trance x :laugh: I'm like a new rider on the techy descents now, thought I'd reached my capability but I'm trying everything I never attempted before and I'm getting braver and braver (or more stupid)
That's right, I'm still thinking of 2013 bikes :D never mind me mate. I have a 2011 Cannondale Jekyll 3, the only thing that's not been upgraded on it is the frame and rear shock every thing else went bye bye. Got a massive high end spec on it and like you I've got to that stage where everything is rideable.
I'm on the look out for a decent DH rig now possibly Scott gambler, GT Fury maybe a Trek session not sure yet but not sure I want to sell my Dale to fund it :D I've done plenty of DH trails on my Dale and it more than copes with whatever you chuck at it.
I'll make this a recently bought post as well while I'm here,
My new house should be built by the end of May, cannot wait :happy2:

It's funny you should ask as me and the wife are going to write to audi uk as the service they offered is better than any company in any industry we've ever dealt with. I've never ever written to compliment good service but I really feel the need to give this dealership some recognition.
They let us have a red amplified black edition tt for an afternoon, came up with a big discount without us even pushing, we dealt with a member of sales who couldn't do enough for us and made the buying process an absolute pleasure. The sales manager was superb. They gave Karen a massive arrangement of flowers on collection day, offered breakfast and coffee when she popped in to sign paperwork one of the mornings.
The Xenons seemed a little low (they are as high as is legal it turns out) so she mentioned this when they made a courtesy call last tue to see how we were getting on and they booked it in the next morning. She was greeted at the door and keys taken, breakfast offered, coffee, power point to laptop and wifi as she was working and made her a coffee to go in a costa style take away cup for the road.
I've had horrific dealings with Incape VW which is why I no longer own a vw. My a3 will be replaced with an audi and no doubt the tt will be replaced with another audi. If they maintain their service levels then I'll never look elsewhere.

Why 205/40? Load rating seems a bit low, too...
Recommendation and budget.
Pirelli P Zero
Michelin Pilot Super sport
Dunlop Super sport Maxx
All have load rating of 86 in 205/40 and all over £130+ I paid near £80
Don't forget this is a Tdi and not a Gti

^^^^ Me likely!! :party:Cheers! I can't wait - I only got to enjoy my old mkiv with a Quaife diff for a couple of weeks before a 1-series wrote it off. Hope I can use this one to the full this time. All I remember is that with my old mkiv - where it should have slipped, wheelspun, etc, it no longer did.
It can only be a league better on the mk5 when I have the power mods done!

Golf Bag is a Taylormade Supreme Hybrid stand bag (Black/Red/White)
Irons are Ping I25 Irons 4-SW, custom fitted, CFS Stiff shafts, Yellow Grips, Yellow Dot (1.5deg Upright) heads and 1/2 inch longer shafts, I went and tried out 6 different clubs (Ping, TM, Cobra, Mizuno, Calloway and Nike) with my heart set on the new Taylormade Spedblades, but I could not get on with them and by far the best feeling clubs for me were the Pings (very suprising as I never thought I would consider a Ping!).

Nice :happy2:
I recently had my heart set on a new set of irons as I now need stiff shafts. Tested lots and really loved the new Taylormade Toure CB's. Just couldn't justify >£600 when they were no better than my current gamers (TM Burner 2.0). I ended up picking up a set of True Temper Black Gold stiff shafts off the bay for £35 and now cant see me changing them in a while :laugh:

I recently had my heart set on a new set of irons as I now need stiff shafts. Tested lots and really loved the new Taylormade Toure CB's. Just couldn't justify >£600 when they were no better than my current gamers (TM Burner 2.0). I ended up picking up a set of True Temper Black Gold stiff shafts off the bay for £35 and now cant see me changing them in a while :laugh:
Just gald I got out of there before I started looking at drivers lol

Better than the plastic ones I've been using as they have a breather and a non leak nozzle.
Ordered a white one as there's more chance to see through at the level. Going to order another when I'm feeling flush

That's not good. I've always bought Panasonic TVs and have never had a failure yet. I've got a 2013 LED one in the lounge and like it a lot. Looks good with a nice picture, but the sound was abysmal!

For those that are into watches the Accutron was ahead of the game back in the 60's utilising Tuning fork technology. This technology was pivotal in the space race between the USA and USSR, so much that the development of the watch was kept top secret.
The Omega Speedmaster albeit the first watch worn on the moon was a backup to the Accutron systems which were installed into the actual space capsules.
Bulova Accutron the unsung hero.

£30 a year Road Tax and 65+ miles to the gallon.
A lad in the Lupo forum managed 650 miles to a tank, not bad for £45 a tank :jumpmove:
One owner and a pretty solid little motor.
Did consider the TDI but these little motors are hard to come by.
Just done 160 miles in the wee beast and I'm impressed its a little pocket rocket.

Never seen one before, best you post a pic :happy2:
How you finding it, don't suppose you got to see a white faced one?
Post by: gtipirelli on June 03, 2014, 10:16:59 pm
I am still pinching myself that I actually own one. I cannot stop looking at it
I may find the time to work out how to upload a piccie but the work laptop is pretty tied down and not sure how to go about doing it via the iPad
Thanks for your efforts trying to source one for me, very much apreciated
I never saw the white face in the flesh as all the stainless daytonas are like hens teeth at the moment

Nice watch buddy !!!!
Glad you got one in the end.
Its ridiculous that Goldsmiths have a 6 year waiting list but I guess it makes the watch that extra little bit special.
The Daytona was my Holly Grail but I opted for the White face as I also have a Speedmaster which is Black.
First thing that I noticed with the Daytona was its small size, but Im used to it now :jumpmove: :jumping:
Wear it in good health :drinking:
Post by: gtipirelli on June 05, 2014, 06:12:22 pm
I have an old white face Tag and just really like the black face
Thanks for your help again
Should be the end of the big purchases for a while as my wife also has a ladies Rolex so we are both sorted for life whether she likes it or not :smiley:

I got this on lease, the base price is £179/month with 6 months deposit over 24 months, 5k per annum, I added a few toys so it went up a little. Still crazy cheap for the kind of car your getting! There going by the ship load apparently.

Yeah went last week, wasn't being used at all, I would have passed it onto her but we need more room. This is a great trade off to be fair. I'm feeling quite abused though, I change from RS to Berlingo van and she changes from Yaris to Golf R :grin:

No final payment just return the bugger after 2 years. They have to be in perfect condition though, lease companies are known to bum you to high heaven for even the smallest scratch or scrape. That could be interesting with the misses at the helm :smiley:

It's almost the same as VW did with the R32 and R36 but at the wrong end of their lifecycle while they are still at a premium price. :confused:
My thoughts exactly. I dont know why they seems to be wanting to virtually give them away... almost as if they are frightened of them not selling.
Post by: JPC on June 19, 2014, 09:56:51 am
in 2 weeks they will be sky high again and be spanking people for them. Getting a decent number on the road quickly is the name of the game. At the end of the day, they will have a relatively new car they can sell again so some mug in a showroom.
They did the same with stephs Golf cabriolet. Just silly cheap! then 100 cars ordered that way and they cut the deal, back up to 450/month which you'd have to be daft to do for a golf cab!

You really don't have to worry to much about the condition as long as there are no dents, scrapes, kerb marks etc. Anything like that just get touched up quick, chips wear and tear and the like won't come into play

I just wasn't paying Brabus 5 times as much for the same thing just to keep my warranty. :fighting:
So I'm just altering my insurance to cover the box addition and then fingers crossed nothing goes wrong between now and the warranty running out. :grin:

Very racy! Our garden is sloping and our little Flymo died. We've been using this inherited lawnmower that must weigh 30kg and it's back breaking work! I like the look of those Bosch ones, but feel another hover jobbie is the best bet for a slope...
My back garden is lumpy and bumpy all over the place. But this had no issues whatsoever and gave the grass a better cut than the Flymo hover ever did. Plus you don't end up with bits of grass getting chucked all over the place. This just sucks it all up. Also my last one only had a 33cm blade whereas this has a 43cm one so takes less time too.
I thought it would just be hype with how good they are. But after using it for the first time today i am very very impressed with it and i don't think you would have any issues with a sloped lawn.
Same one we've got i think andy. Stripes the lawn nicely! :happy2:

Got the underseat drawer for 99p though, not £80. Also purchased and installed LED's from Matt, then took a trip to my local stealers for a new PCV, and two thirds of a boot pop kit, just the Fabia struts to buy now.

It was a UK seller, only the passenger side drawer, l was the only bidder, 99p purchase price, £8 p&p. bought the fixing kit from the stealer for about £5. Happy days! :jumpmove:
Bet you're delighted! I paid about €150 for both sets direct from VW.
I have a full PDF guide for fitting if you need?

Nice virgin or BT? What upload speed you getting?I'm in Spain this is the Telefonica the equivalent of BT but twice the price. Getting about 10/11 upload speed. They have literally just installed this in our area i suspect when more people start using it the speeds will drop.
I've run a cat 6 cable to the living room and using my old billion router as a switch i'm surprised that i lose about 16 mbps from the speeds i get on my main machine.

Lmao, look at your latency, do you live next door to the exchange?
Nice speeds there, I get about half that... But it's still unbelievably quick and never seems to slow, using an ASUS RT-AC66U.

Check this video of the retrofit of the dual zone climatronic in a mk5 1.9 TDI with climatic by my Portuguese friend who knows how to do all these great upgrades:
If you check his video list you can see many more retrofits. He later fit the mk6 climatronic, as he did in my Golf. :notworthy:

The i10 hasn't really put a foot wrong, a had a couple of warranty issues but nothing major.
The DS3 is just better in everyway. Better quality interior, bigger boot, a powerful 1.6T THP engine that has bags of potential as it's the same engine from the Mini Cooper S.. It's stylish and being offered a swop deal without having to front any extra dollar, for a car that was nearly 20k new just 18 months ago, was too good to pass up.
Thanks to Vrstu's brother at Richmond Portsmouth, pulled quiet a few strings for me to get the car for essentially nothing.Got top money for the i10 as it was still mint condition with very rare factory options which were pulled soon after the cars release due to build delays which still are no longer an option on the 2015 cars.
I drove a lower spec version as a courtesy car whilst the i10 was in, and absolutely loved it.

After struggling to get on with the G16 I bought before going on leave and realising I am a full frame whore I ended up buying a Canon 6D from a photograph store not far from where we are staying. With Double cash back Canon are offering in Oz and reclaiming the GST at the airport the camera will be nearly £600 cheaper than what you would expect to pay in the UK. The camera and lens come with a 12 month seller warranty should anything go wrong.

....The Canon 6D has a good reputation. And once you have bought into a well established DSLR system like Canon or Nikon, there are so many options. Plus the user interface is common to most of the bodies so that a future change is relatively easy. depending what you like to photograph you don't necessarily need to change. I hope you enjoy it :happy2:

....Yep, you know me Rich - I have always been a flash git. IIRC you shoot Nikon? I'm really enjoying this Canon 7D2 but there is still a learning curve.
Cheers RR. I have been a 5D MK2 user for a while but Canon couldn't get it back to me (out for a service) in time for my trip to Oz so i bought the 6D out here :)

Robin. I've got a canon 5Dii which lives in the cupboard. Just don't have time to use it at the moment. Too busy with work.
....Worth hanging onto though because a time for using it will probably come. I haven't seen any of your pics recently (except one for the forum calendar) but I have always been greatly impressed by your attention to detail and image quality. A flying Gannet comes to mind IIRC.
I shot this one yesterday with my Canon 7D Mark II - It won't match the quality of full-frame 5D's etc but it's possibly better for wildlife and action photography. When I say 'better' I probably mean 'easier'!

Tom TopCat has really made progress with his photography and is currently very focussed on the macro world. I think he uses a 5D3 and also Ian @Hedge (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=171) ?

After struggling to get on with the G16 I bought before going on leave and realising I am a full frame whore I ended up buying a Canon 6D from a photograph store not far from where we are staying. With Double cash back Canon are offering in Oz and reclaiming the GST at the airport the camera will be nearly £600 cheaper than what you would expect to pay in the UK. The camera and lens come with a 12 month seller warranty should anything go wrong.
And I could figure out how to resize a photo with the photo bucket App I would be a happy bunny!
....The Canon 6D has a good reputation. And once you have bought into a well established DSLR system like Canon or Nikon, there are so many options. Plus the user interface is common to most of the bodies so that a future change is relatively easy. depending what you like to photograph you don't necessarily need to change. I hope you enjoy it :happy2:Bought this on pre-order a few weeks ago - A no-brainer for me as a wildlife photographer (amateur) and sold my much loved Canon 70D to help fund it and because I don't need two camera bodies.

....Cameras like the G16 are good but are very limited when you enjoy what a DSLR system offers you.
It's simply a matter of what you personally feel most comfortable using. And perhaps your available funds!

The G16 is certainly a capable camera but as i mainly shoot with a Full frame DSLR i found the transition a difficult one. Also with the current Oz-Sterling exchange rate, double cash back Canon Australia are offering and claiming back GST at the airport buying a camera out here is stupidly cheap. The only complication was i had to open a Australian bank account to qualify for the cash back but that took 10 minutes to do :)
The G16 is going to be put on eBay when i get home on Saturday :)

Very arty. How was Sydney? There was a plague of flies when I went which made it hard to enjoy myself because they were crawling all over my face whenever I was outside and I couldn't find a single shop selling those hats with corks on!
Sydney was excellent but i'm not sure if i would go back. We went to Cairns further up the east coast in QLD a couple of years a go and that was more enjoyable mainly as there was so much more unique stuff to see and do. Sydney is also damn expensive - you would be lucky to get (outside of happy hour) a pint of the local lager or Ale for less than £6 and a bottle of white in a bottle shop was at least £12!
Don't get me wrong i love Sydney but maybe two weeks was too much.

Still madly in love with the stupid woman, in spite of the hurt she has caused too. It will mean selling the house (too new, no collateral and too expensive to remortgage on my own) and if I can't rent somewhere that allows pets, giving up 2x dogs I love to bits. And I might need brain surgery next year if my medication doesn't work.
But everyone keeps telling me 2015 will be a better year. I'm thinking 2016 or maybe even 2017.
....Obviously from your comment you live in hope but is that hope realistic? Is she very unlikely to come back to you?
Love is a two-way street and absolutely not worth travelling on unless you are also loved. If not, then the quicker you move on the better for you, otherwise you are wasting your life chasing nothing.
No-one, but no-one, is worth staying hurt by in that thing they call love.

In some respects I wish I had sold my old MK5 GT TDI 170 but after 12 months/20K+ miles I was starting to get a little bored of it. The Passat was from the point of view of comfort and “toys” the best car I have owned to date however it was under powered, MASSIVE and a bit of a PITA to get in and out of with my f@cked knees. People kept driving into it as well!!
The GTD is fun to drive (maybe more than the Mk5) sounds better and my return to “normal” mileage (pretty much half what I was doing) I intend on keeping it at least 2 years
The garage are replacing the passenger side xenon headlight as there is a small stone chip/crack letting in moisture and the rear drivers side window regulator clicks when you wind the window up so can’t really complain.

Was going to retro fit some xenons to another GTD i looked at but didn't appreciate how expensive and infrequently they appear on eBay. You can get them new from Carsystems but you're looking at circa £1k!

Am REALLY liking those, could well be my next wheels. :congrats:For their weight they're "cheap" enough. Got them new for a bit more than 900 £. Not sure for what price you can get them as the prices I've seen on ebay are higher... Even the official importer here sells them around 3 £ more expensive than the store I got them. It's the same store where I got my Koni FSD and my previous Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy 2.
I know TD 1.2 are cheaper but I rank these a bit higher and prefer their design. :smiley:
Your Golf deserves only the best. :wink:

I did the rears in my Golf.......Dazza is right! just do the fronts and a sub....Plus spend as much money on the front speakers as possible. I used the ESK's and they simply weren't good enough (to bright and quite harsh sounding)
Also, when looking at amps choose quality over power. I chose a digital Alpine amp and I've suspected ever since that it contributed the bright sound.
I used my RNS-510 and sent the signal to an Audison Bit Ten. Fabulous piece of kit but absolute overkill for what I wanted to achieve so I would also recommend just a simple line converter. It would be cheaper and far easier to configure.
All that said, although I probably wouldn't go to the same extreme again, I would definitely consider adding a simple sub/amp to my CC.

I currently have the HSK's in the drivers door and ESK's in the passenger door (Both Not amped). The HSK's do sound better.
I may amp them both up before i switch out the set in the passenger door.
@Biano44 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=6785) you have me thinking now maybe i should buy a better amp.

Don't get me wrong they are an improvement over stock. But side by side with the HSK's they don't sound great.

It was quickly replaced, as other much better phones from Samsung came out..cost me a small fortune to get out my contract with that Nexus, and let's face it the iPhone 3G wasn't a great phone and the nexus was better at that time.

I'm not sure it is. The Note 2 came out at the end of 2012 and you got your Nexus in 2011 (can post more quotes if you'd like?). Perhaps you meant the S2?
My nexus was a 24 month contract, so I payed 12 months worth of subs so your time scales are correct and I jumped into the Note series phones, which I replaced my note 2 with a 3 a few months back.

I wouldn't call Big Island commercialised - certainly wasn't back in 2010 and not likely to be vs Oahu which is easily the most populated island in hawaii and where most of the holidaying yanks go

Been looking for power folding mirrors since buying the Golf and kept missing out on eBay or they were crazy expensive. Was searching eBay looking for something completely different, checked out a sellers other items and found he had some.

What you need now is the door control module that I have spare that lets you fold the mirrors when locking the door. Drop me message if you're interested.

I wasn't looking to change my stereo (RNS315 DAB) but found this on eBay. The seller had listed it as a normal RNS510 without realising it was a DAB version. Made a cheeky offer of £390 which was accepted pretty much straight away and collected the stereo this evening.

244£ for standard colour up too 18inch wheels. Used a discount code from the R32oc.com. Not a great finish, they painted the rear of the wheel hubs and didn't sand it down/finish it. Small drips on every wheel, hard to see but there.

Hence why i bought the Apple version .... :innocent:
But why does it have to be £25 , It also looks a b@stard on my Iphone6 on my B&W Zeppelin !

Same with cables. I've bought loads of eBay cheap sh*te and then bit the bullet and bought a 2m cable from apple. The eBay ones last 4 weeks. The apple one is still working.

Without getting into the Pro/Anti Apple discussion. I have had the iPhone from day one and never experienced major issues, when I have Apple have replaced the handset FOC. My 17" MBP is nearly 4 years old now and is still by far the best Laptop I have ever had

Same for most Tech stuff TBH . Copies of Tech are really good when it comes to looks . Quality is poor and you soon find out they are fakes . The Fakers and their outlets get away with it as people do not generally have the real thing to compare the fake and real items side by side .

I'd be pro apple most of the time and their support is typically fine although my 5S has had the battery swell and now fully charged it won't even last me 8 hours of infrequent use from what they say is using non genuine leads for charging. Again coming back to cheap eBay knock off leads!

That's a very good angle Pete, i'll try that on the next track-day, but I'm afraid that the car vibrations will result in shaking videos. :smiley:
Cheers Teo, it straps pretty tight. Perhaps being leather helps, but it's speedbump/fast road tested and it barely moved a mm :wink: This time next month, it'll have been Ring tested :rolleye:

I was going to buy the Team Heko ones in the FS section but due to @MC71 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4913) i decided on the Climair. I actually have climair deflectors on the beater they are cracked and faded but i won't let that put me off.

They also asked if i would like to change to black tint with white 'Sport' label?
I think the tint on the regular seems a good match.

Don't tap without any of this Rich or you could end up with snapped taps

Yeah ill probably get some of that at some point. I did use a dot of Millers 5w40 to test and have done a few dry (only M6x1mm) and they seem to cut fine dry. I just keep backing the tap out to break the chips.

Back? I've never had an Audi before, Pete. I don't do diesel, this is the 150PS 1.4 TSI. Beautiful car, so much nicer inside than its VW, Skoda, SEAT cousins. Mrs P has had a silver 8L and 8P, so this one completes the set now!

Thought you had an A3 before of your own, apologies :confused: :ashamed:
Ah nice! I think they've finally got the space to quality ratio right in the 8V. Mine is all on top of itself inside still and it's the 8P3, like a TT inside compared to the MK5 and MK6 :fighting: :confused:

Not cheap, mind, it cost me nearly 800 nicker! That was for an Intel i5 NUC barebones, 8GB of Crucial RAM, the Tranquil PC case and a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SSD that I scored for £300 on Amazon. You can buy ready built ones on the above site, too, but I fancied the DIY route.

That's not how I understand this http://forums.ross-tech.com/showthread.php?2150-Component-protection-modules-2014
I'll check with my friend who knows a lot about retrofits (and did most of my interior retrofits) to explain to me better how the new system works. He also retroffited the xenons to my other friend with the mk7 and told him he needed to go to a VW dealership to activate the xenons. The kit came with a bit that coded the BCM correctly with the xenons, but it only worked well after the car being connected to the VW system.

Always thought the front tyres looked a bit flat. Think the pump at the local petrol station is fooked as all the tyres have a pressure of 1.4 bar.
Getting them up to 2.4 now, unless anyone thinks i should put a bit more in as we are usually 4 in the car with the rather heavy audio install in the boot.

I'd put 2.6 bar at least if your car is running that heavy normally. I put 2.5 bar at the front and 2.4 bar at the rear, and it's just me in the car normally.I'm tired now will top it up tomorrow.
Fingers crossed maybe the 1mm or so extra height will stop me bottom out on the drive.

I'm just going to fit it when I relocate the DV to the front of the engine, like the RHD BYD and CDL engines have.
I'd like to relocate my dv but how are you doing it?.

I already have most of the parts needed since I have an engine with a K04 turbo. I have no idea why VW decided to fit the DV at the right side of the engine and keep the noise pipe in the LHD BYD engines. At least the later CDL engine has the DV in the easier location.(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fdaz.co%2Fmedia%2Fmm475%2FShoduchi%2FGFB_DV.jpg&hash=b9ba7907205a29ce0f6829d74320ae6756571988):happy2:

Had a nightmare today replaced all the bearings and rebuilt the chuck put it back together and it was all over the shop. Although the lower bearings i used were exactly the same size they were sh*t. Slapped the old ones back in.
I'm looking for a drill press vice to hide the holes in the table.

Still experimenting with eggs, as all the chef guides leave them too snotty for my liking. Notching up a degree or two at a time until I get a texture I like.

Treated myself to a Nixie clock, named after the Cold War era Soviet manufactured cold-cathode tubes given a new lease of life - to tell the time. The tubes are filled with neon gas to give the characteristic red glow. Make your man-cave feel like a baddie's hideout in a hollywood thriller. :grin: :happy2:

Nice :smiley: i watch a youtube channel called Techmoan and he's a big fan of nixie stuff such as clocks and watches. Not cheap but i can't help be tempted.

My not proper one takes up a lot less room, which is the main reason I got it. I dunno how they managed it, but the builders of my house managed to give it a 16'x16' kitchen with eff all storage space! Ideally, I'd like to get it remodelled, but fear the bill I'll end up with...

They are a lot of money but pretty rare, just about quick enough (its the family car), extremely well built and handles very nicely for a 1.8tonne machine.
not able to post a pic as not got one without me or Mrs Pirelli in the photo but a quick google search will do the trick
Always wanted a Porsche but never thought it would be an SUV. If nothing else it is a step in to the brand so who knows what might replace the Pirelli in a few years

Love that! Had one as a courtesy car a while back when my Impreza was in for some work. Still fancy another with STI running gear.
Didn't get it in the end, it had SERIOUS rust issues!
Loved the thought of a 240+ £1500 estate but this one, although mechanically in good condition wasn't long of this earth!

It's a hefty chunk of change, but from talking to folk who have them, it should be worth it. :pomppomp:
The roads round here where i live are absolutely shocking (i know everyone says that, but you have to see it to believe it). The PSS10 will be coming off, great setup, but a bit too much for here, especially with the amount of suspension mods i have. The Bilsteins were perfect at one point, but i just kept going with new mods and firmed it up just that bit too much.

My memory is a bit hazy from 2013..but that's quite a good price. Relative term I know.
That said 4x years on I wouldn't be without my Ohlins R&T damping..but it is a lump of wedge.

POW!!! :jumpmove:
:laugh:
It's a hefty chunk of change, but from talking to folk who have them, it should be worth it. :pomppomp:
The roads round here where i live are absolutely shocking (i know everyone says that, but you have to see it to believe it). The PSS10 will be coming off, great setup, but a bit too much for here, especially with the amount of suspension mods i have. The Bilsteins were perfect at one point, but i just kept going with new mods and firmed it up just that bit too much.
That isn't too bad to be honest. Not when you consider KW V3s are £1500-£1600, and Ohlins are way better.
Are they not adjustable damper body height on yours? Some of the R&T kits allow you to adjust the height without changing the spring height/preload. The zoom in pic on Demon's website is wrong :grin:

@rich83 (http://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=709) would you mind dropping me details where you sourced these from and cost? Next on my shopping list, can't get through to Alex for a price :sad1:

Rotors are 413+vat for the pair. (I had the bells already, but if you dont then the rotors and bells are about 900quid)
Pads were 316+ for a set

Yes. You also need the ap disc hardware which is about 120
Alex supplied me with bolts to suit the 362 AP disc when I got the GT senior kit from him, would this be all that's needed?

What did those ohlins set you back?

My memory is a bit hazy from 2013..but that's quite a good price. Relative term I know.
That said 4x years on I wouldn't be without my Ohlins R&T damping..but it is a lump of wedge.
:smiley:
Yeah, and in fairness to Demon Tweeks it's €250 cheaper than anywhere else i could find them

Waiting for the rear brace to return to stock to order it.

Fitted one of these braces to my old Mistress. I was never sure whether it added anything to the party but certainly won't hurt and a quarter of the price as the identical one from Unibrace.
:happy2:

I was hoping for a noticeable difference when doing hard corners. The weight gain won't be much and I hope it will work well together with the rear brace from R-Tech, that's also very similar to the Unibrace XB. :laugh:

How are the Ohlins mate? I'm close to pulling the trigger on a set. Just want to know what ride height range they offer, and if the ride comfort is decent? Ta!

2003 Subaru WRX Wagon with Prodrive Performance Pack kicking out around 265bhp. The engine was replaced with a documented 50k miles block with new TD04 turbo, cam belt and clutch.

Also has the expensive optional PPP extra - Alcon 330mm two piece brakes with 4 pot calipers.

Not gong to do much to it apart from tidy up the bodywork and add folding door mirrors.

Finally received yesterday the R-Tech rear brace bar. Chose the black version. Didn't have time to unwrap the package yet. :laugh:
Get on with the unboxing already!!! :smiley:

Nice! Big Bertha is my favourite club, although I haven't played in a while. Golf of a different kind taking up all my free time!
Only just started playing earlier this year...bloody love it. Got that driver, a ping g30 hybrid, rocketbladez irons and a few cleveland wedges.

Can't wait to try it, seems to be nothing but praise coming from the reviews. Anyone on here tried this? Reasonable price as well.
