Even the Trophys on Autotrader have the strip DRLs, rather than the cool RS16 style lights (pictured)

There's been a few threads on this in the past which suggest various products techniques. I've got one of those George wet/dry vacuum cleaners, will the normal carpet cleaning solution be fine on car seats? It's fabric seats in Fiesta that's been left under a cover for 4 months and must have...

Looks serious!

I'm going through a 470ml bottle of megs liquid wax and am on course to use half a bottle on the car. Is that right?

Sort of want to get an M Performance Exhaust. From most of the videos they sound very asbo, but I went in a 440i with one yesterday and in Comfort mode it was just a bit louder than standard. And the pops etc only occured in Sport/DSC off. The guy that did this video doesn't explain when he's...

Doing a service today on the woman's R53 Cooper S and one of the HT leads snapped while removing it. Is it worth replacing all of them for the cost (I think they're about a tenner each or so) or is it a case, if the car still runs then they're fine?

So this just got announced. What a phone it looks like too. As someone that's had iPhones for years I'm very much tempted by the features this has and have been thinking of switching sides for a while now. However, can anyone that's had a Samsung AND a vanilla Android comment on the...

Can someone answer this? For sake of argument, let's pretend you have 2 cars with the same box, but completely different ratios and FD. If you swapped the LSD from one to the other, would it affect the final drive? Or is it independent from that?

Just booked the 13:45 session in the DMAX karts (~20hp 2 stroke karts :D) to try out my new GoPro this weekend. There's only 5 booked in at the moment so if anyone fancies some last minute karting go here and sign up: https://www.daytona.co.uk/live/bookonline.php?desktop=1

I know there are a few people into their ICE here, I'm trying to find a really good SQ double din head unit (akin to an Alpine 9812) that's not got a touch screen (because I don't want one).

Are all Ph2 rear arch liners the same?

Is it worth it? I've got an AMD 290 in my machine at the moment, but I'd quite like something shiny and I hate the tearing that I get on BF4 when turning quickly. Moving up to 2560x1440 at the same time would be quite nice too. So it's really a toss up between a 2nd R9 290, don't really want...

Could the H100i pump or whatever be responsible for this? I've stopped each fan 1 by 1 and none of them contribute to this whistling/whining type noise. It comes and goes too- it's currently doing it in 1-2 second bursts, and since the computer is at my ear level right next to me it's driving...

Sup boys, So recently I hit a rock in the road (was having a play with an SQ5 so didn't see it until it was too late) which flattened a bit of the lip on one of my Ph1 alloys. The tyre held it's pressure but then I was driving in a straight line. Here is the alloy in question: I got out...

My Ph1 172 only has 1 key, which now rattles... It's probably just a plastic piece as they key still works as normal however it's my only key and don't fancy the day when it breaks/the woman loses it. I have heard of people swapping the ECU and UCH with the relevant keys, I've read I could just...

Me and a couple of mates are heading to Buckmore park for a morning session on Sunday. £30 for a 30 minute practice session, they're generally great fun. Show up, get geared up and go out on track for 30 minutes. You get lap times etc but it's not a "race" so there are no trophies etc. Just...

I'm after the wiring diagrams for a Ph1 interior? After f**king about behind the dashboard I've lost illumination for the heater controls and radio display. I thought it might just be an earth but they all seem to be connected ok and I'd be surprised if there was a dedicated earth that only...

Hi! I'm after a new camera for the lady's birthday. I had a few searches online and came across the Sony HX50 which looked quite nice, however I had a play with one in Currys and it felt a bit fiddly. Next to it was the Panasonic TZ60 which felt much nicer to handle, however after a search I...

I've been looking at cars for a couple of months now. Initially I was looking at modified MX5s (had one before) for cheap RWD thrills, but the compromise of comfort and practicality is a bit too much to bare in the Mk1 and the Mk2 has never been a favorite of mine. Since I've considered other...

I hit a dog last night :( Was only on a 30mph road but it jumped out of a bush and I managed to catch it in my peripheral when it was about 5m away from the road. Hit the brakes but he jumped out and got knocked down, nothing I could have done in all fairness. The poor thing was not walking...

I get the basics of electrics, just wondering if anyone happened to know how many amps you could run on the wire that powers the lighter socket? Thinking of getting my wire cutters out and hard wiring a few things (iphone charger, incar camera and parking sensors).

I've had my Ph1 for nearly 3 years now, it's not put a step wrong apart from needing various parts refreshed. It's probably worth under average as it's only got 1 key (annoying when sharing it) and no recent service history as the lad that owned it before me worked at a small garage where they...

So what with the old consoles falling in price I decided to pick up a PS3 not so long ago. I got the bundle with TLoU and GT6 as those are the 2 exclusives I wanted to play. It would also act as the Bluray player for my new TV. As I have had a PSVita for a whole I already had a subscription to...

Hi guys, Looking for a new TV. Fairly confident I want a plasma since I usually watch films or play games in low lighting and really hate the idea of ghosting. I have found this TV for £500 (after 10% staff discount)...

Hiya, I bought a used ICV from Renault parts on eBay and it's the part that needs part of the original unit. Need to drill/dremel out the rivets that are there and get some bolts. Anyone happen to know what size bolts I'll need? And I read something about needing to replace the o-ring.. What's...

Howdie, I replaced all the mounts on my Ph1 when I got it and it felt good. Since then things have loosened up a bit, did the old "pull the engine mount forward" however now I feel there's way too much movement going on somewhere. I had a test yesterday by standing outside the car with the...

On direct download from Origin. Well worth buying if you haven't already got it.

This game just got released as a beta a week or so ago and has been doing the rounds on the usual areas but haven't seen it on here. It's based on the Slender man mythos, if anyone's not heard of him (I hadn't) it's basically this dude that stalks and kidnaps children, and if you encounter him...

Howdie, A friend has asked me to build them a gaming PC for about £500-600. I'm not looking to overclock but rather just get some decent components with a bit of scope for upgrading. I was looking on www.overclockers.co.uk just because they've always been good to me, but is there a better...

It's a charity deal, you donate to the charity and they give you the indie games either DRM free or a steam key to download them onto Steam. You get Amnesia (very good horror game), Limbo (highly acclaimed side scroller) along with 3 others I haven't played yet (Pyschonauts, Superbrothers and...
