Quite a lot when I brake I hear a scraping sound like it would be the brake pads which are knackered, but no - I got the brake pads/discs checked out and they are fine. What else could this possibly be??? :S

Took the car in to a garage opposite work this morning as when I'm braking my pads have started to make a scraping sound. Just want a quick and cheap replacement and I'm awaiting a call. What should I expect to pay for my standard front pads to be replaced and fitted by a garage in my 182?

My shift key isn't working on my laptop. Is it easy enough to remove the key without breaking it, check under for any blockage which is causing the button not to press the circuit board and put the key back on? i know there's 2 shift keys on here, but it's fudging annoying as I've used the...

Anyone does this yet? Are there any complications? I have an HTC Desire with the HTC Sense on o2. How can I be done? Really want to the 720p video recording without having to wait until September so o2 do their own software update of 2.2.

With any phone that has Android on it, how easy is it to upgrade to the latest version. For example: a phone running 2.1 and you want to upgrade to 2.2. Can you only do it on certain models?

I'm just about to order my tickets for Trax. I'm probably going to drive up in the morning however, maybe we could all try and camp overnight with a group of us to have a few beers and what not. What are you thoughts people, what will you be doing and is camping something you would...

Was just after 5pm on Saturday pulling out of Chineham onto the A33 and toward Reading before you turned off as we approached the M4 junction. Blue 182 with a CS sticker in back window so hopefully you will see this. I was the Black Gold 182 behind you at some point.

Saw a black v6, well heard it drive past as I was at the BP garage on Bath Road A4 Reading at about 12:30 today. Anyone one on here?

Last minute panic session.... CS Stand Pass - Is this necessary? Printer not working, but I have the stand pass from French Car Show which came with my ticket. Cheers

Hey guys, Does anyone here know of any good free software to convert a DVD to MP4 or AVI? I'm actually fed up of finding 'so called' free software which is not what it says on the tin or is spyware. Thanks

The Longbridge Mill at Sherfield on Loddon at 7pm Haven't been here in ages so thought we should make a return to Longbridge Mill. If we are lucky with the weather I'm sure we can sit outside in the pub garden, have a pint, some food and do some photos in the car park. Directions: The...

My whole interior is due a massive clean as it's been months due to the Winter and I was wondering what products are used for cleaning and treating seats, carpets and mats. Are there any particular tools such as brushes or sponges to use the shampoo/cleaning product with on the seats, carpets...

Seeing as I never get spotted I thought I'd inform you that I'm actually on a road trip for once driving from Reading to Manchester on Monday. If you think you spot me, post here and I'll give you a Chomp. If I'm feeling generous it might be a Creme Egg. ;)

It's been flipping ages since we've been up Portsdown Hill and seeing as I fancy a monster burger and the weather is getting a bit better I think we should have a burger meat (see what I did there? -ha!). I hope Micks van is still there?? So it's gonna be on Wednesday 31st March at 7pm Names...

I'm bored. Haven't touched forza 3 in weeks. Anyone fancy a multiplayer race?

Got myself a new windscreen today after having a huge crack in there for ages. Gave the car a nice clean and vacuum and with the new windscreen it looks as good as new. Plus my vision is now chip and scratch free. Don't you just love it when you get a new windscreen? I imagine there's a fair...

Saw a white 197 on the A33 towards Basingstoke this morning at about 11:40am. Could have been someone from here? I'm seeing loads of White 197's lately, they must be well hard to keep clean in this weather. Oh by the way, I was in the filthy black 182!

Saw you parked up in the Riverside car park at the Reading Oracle last night at around about 6PM. Noticed a FCS '09 on the rear window so could be someone off here, but no CS sticker. I parked a few cars along in the Black 182.

I've found out that Tesco, is to sell the iPhone on Tesco Mobile. Like WTF? I reckon a iPhone price war is definately about to break out when this happens. Check it out for yourself: http://direct.tesco.com/p/inc/specials/iphone/default.asp I'm interested to see what the tariffs are as...

Leaked information from Microsoft has already hit the news today about Project Natal. November 2010 release, 5m units to be shipped globally at launch, 14 natal, and a super-low sub-£50 price. Pretty good news really and especially the price! Some say it will be £30 but we will have to see...

Saw a white 197 in Mortimer this morning on the way to Basingstoke from Reading. I was in a Black 182. Seen it in pretty much the same place a couple of times recently so was wondering who it could possibly be. Someone from here maybe? Really nice looking car, I want! However on the roads I...

You got to be f**king kidding me right? Renault have quoted me £801 for a cambelt. How the hell can a rubber belt being put round your camshaft, crankshaft, and all other other pulleys possibly cost that much. I respect these garages mechanics need to make a living but seriously... most of...

Someones made a mod for Left 4 Dead on the PC that changes all the infected zombies to Teletubbies. The complete package comes with a sound mod and you hear the zombies saying "Eh oh". Got the game on the Xbox, but tempted to get it on the PC as well for all these fun mods. c-db9qgn99o
