    Mum's 0.9 TCe - Battery drain, weird issues

    Hi guys, mum picked up a 2013 Clio Mk4 last year. Over the weekend she was left stranded at the supermarket when the car wouldn't turn on, this has happened once before. A simple jump start works, but there's a weird message that comes on the dash saying something about the steering wheel is...

    Blast from the past - Windows XP - Free games/education stuff?

    Hey so they were throwing out an XP laptop at work. I got my hands on it, restored the OS to a blank build, and plan on giving it to the kids to play around with/destroy. Thinking there might be some stuff I can chuck on there for my 4 & 6 year olds to use? Freeware/shareware websites etc? I'm a...

    Best budget wipers?

    Not the most glamorous of subjects, but need some new wipers for the missus car. Usually get Bosch Aero ones or whatever they're called for mine, but is there anything decent for cheap? Don't need to be best of the best, just good enough as she couldn't really care less!

    Will Halfords wire in external amp/sub to standard headunit?

    So I've always had Alpine headunits and just wired them up myself, but I've got a double DIN unit this time and I fancy keeping the standard headunit in there. Taken it apart and can see evidence of the previous owner butchering it somewhat. I tried to get it all going myself and had some...

    Solvent to dissolve oil during inspection?

    Not quite sure if this is the right section or written the question right! But, basically... Have a bad oil leak. Mechanic said it's shat itself so bad that it's just everywhere and cannot pinpoint where it's coming from. Said I need an under body clean up and bring it back over for them to...

    Bit of a niche question - Partner on your insurance

    Hi I'm with Greenlight who give me an unbeatable price compared to others I've tried. However they do have one rather annoying policy, which is that they won't insure my partner on my car as she's never had a 'performance' car of her own. This is very frustrating as the only situation we would...

    Suspension setup in Essex?

    I'm afraid this isn't for a Clio... I'm looking to sort some new wheels and suspension kit/coilovers on the Astra soon and looking for somewhere decent to set it up for me. It will hit the odd track day but I'm ashamed to say I'm more just after a decent 'stance' though the word makes me cringe...

    Back to the old skool! Bucket and sponge...

    So my car is completely filthy. Doesn't look like I'll be getting out to the local jetwash any time soon... I do have a home one at my mums, but as she's over 70 I'm not entering her house. I don't really have any alternatives other than going old skool and attacking it with a bucket and sponge...

    What browser do you use?

    I've been a Chrome guy since the day it was released, but recently it's been running like s**t... I could take the lagging (just about) but now it just stops completely. I cannot scroll with the touchpad or touchscreen, and have to drag the scroll bar down with the cursor which is just terrible...

    Private car > Company car > Private car... any company keep the NCB running?

    Hi so my brother had a private car for around 5 years and built up NCB the whole time... then stopped driving for a while, and eventually started a driving job. He had to leave his job around 6 months ago and is now looking to get another private car. Thing is he hasn't had a private car...

    Android > iOS

    Hi my mum might be having my iPhone 6 when I upgrade to the iPhone X this month... at the moment she has a Moto G (which is dying big time) She's apprehensive about a couple of things that she relies on heavily, namely using the Google Assistant straight from the home screen, and the Google...

    Nest

    Been wanting to get some Nest equipment for a while but it's something I never had the spare money to invest in... however my smoke detector recently died so have decided to buy myself a Nest Protect. Probably a waste of money in reality but it looks cool and I just enjoy gadgets! It's cool you...

    High quality collage for printing?

    Hi I'm looking to get a canvas printed for my mums birthday... my plan is four different photos taking up a quarter each of a 30x30cm square. I've got an app on my iPhone, Layout which can do this but I don't think the quality will be good enough for printing. Is there a program that I can get...

    Android and storage...

    Hi my mum got her first smartphone this year, a Moto G. It got filled up pretty quickly so I bought her an SD card... however she got a message on her phone the other day showing that it had completely filled up the phone and hadn't touched the card yet. How do I direct everything to save on to...

    ICE advice (smoking headunit)

    Ever since I added a sub/amp, it wasn't quite right. I had interference which sounded really bad when the car was off or at low volume... I mean, it was always there but when you turn it up the problem goes away right Anyway, I was told the most likely cause was a bad earth. Checked on the amp...

    iPhone 7

    Too early? :tongueclosed: What rumours have you heard? Losing the headphone jack is one, and all over (the screen) Touch ID... meaning they could get rid of or at least reduce the size of the home button. Not sure what else they can do really, but hopefully it will look different, because...

    PlayStation VR

    So who's getting one? :) https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/explore/playstation-vr/ Can't wait personally! Not bothered that it's not as high specification as the HTC/Oculus offerings... £350 is a price I'm willing to invest at this point. Obviously helps already having the PS4! Ignore the...

    Knackered battery in iPhone - Chance of replacement?

    :rage: Getting seriously annoying now! Started happening around 15% but has gradually crept up to about 30% now; the battery will die on said amount of battery, then as soon as you plug it into a charger it'll jump to a random number, usually between 10% and 40% Have tried a calibration which...

    Tyre/size recommendations... mid-range

    Hey so I'm looking to get a tyre package with my new wheels... On my previous car I had T1-R's then upgraded to Pilot Sport 3's. I'm looking to go somewhere in the middle this time as money is tight! Also need to decide between 205/45 or 195/45 just reading a couple of threads and there...

    What size tyres with coilovers...

    Hi... so will be going pretty low on AP coilovers and I'm choosing a wheel and tyre package to go with it. My options are 195/45, 205/55 or 215/55. This is on 16x8 wheels btw. Now I'm a fan of a lower profile so my instinct is the 195/45s.... but is there any advantage of going bigger? Would...

    Motorola Moto series... anyone got one?

    Just ordered my mum a Moto G as her old Samsung (from like 2010) died... going to be a huge upgrade for her! I've never actually owned an Android phone myself.
