Hi, can anyone advice if I would be able to connect my late 2012 iMac 27" to my Dell Lattitude E7440 laptop using a thunderbolt cable (Mac set to Target Display Mode)? The laptop has what I think is a minidisplay port connection but no idea if this is the same as a thunderbolt connection. Don't...

The one in that link just has the competition wheels and isn't a competition pack car, which came in later (2016 iirc)

Almost, bought it off a chap from M3cutters, the same guy I bought an e92 M3 (Manual) from. Saw it at the time I bought the M3 and fell in love then, said to let me know when he come to sells it!

Thanks for the comments all, have thought about upgrading the steering wheel as it certainly gives the interior a more up to date look. I was only really looking at Gen 2s due to the reliability issues with the Gen 1, but as always its difficult to know how much of it is internet scaremongering...

Thought I'd share with you all my new car... its a 2009 911 Carrera 2. Its the all important Gen II which supposedly solved a lot of the reliability issues with the Gen I. Coming from an E92 M3 Coupe and as you imagine its a completely different driving experience. Love the power delivery of the...

I think all its had in recent years are regular oil changes and then been then put through the MOT each year. I'm not sure 'looking after it' any more would have preventing these things from needing doing as they're all serviceable items (albeit they would have been picked up earlier). Will...

My dads had his 2001 E39 525i touring since new, now on 114k miles and cosmetically in near immaculate condition. However for the last few years he's had to spend a fair amount fixing issues and getting it through its MOT to the tune of over £1k (these are only worth <£2k now). This year the...

Thanks Neil, that's very helpful

The other half is picking up her new car this week and Mercedes/ Smart are offering insurance for a fixed price of £149 with up to 2 named drivers. However it's not clear if her no claims bonus can be transferred onto this policy. It is through Allianz and obviously she doesn't want to have to...

No worries Mick, I thought I recalled you mentioning it was something to do with your Professional Indemnity Insurance but I must have been mistaken. Found somewhere local to my work anyway that will do the job for £100 all in. Josh

My girlfriends Kia Picanto 1.0 needs a new reluctor ring as the ABS sometimes comes on on at low speeds under breaking. Kia want £170 to replace the ring, its only a £20 part and just over an hours labour. Can anyone recommend a garage in Nottingham/ Chilwell area? The only place I know is...

I drove a 911 (think it was a carrerra GTS) manual at the porsche silverstone track and this matched revs on downswifts, I thought it was pretty awesome.

Not sure if people are aware of this, I don't think it was an option last year with Adrian Flux... they now offer 'flexdrive' which provides you with fully comprehensive cover to drive other cars (not the usual 3rd party cover). It was only £25 extra onto my annual premium so thought it was well...

I used a screw extractor kit on a damaged sump plug on a bmw 5 series, worked a treat. Something like this... http://www.halfords.com/motoring/garage-equipment/tool-kits/laser-6-piece-screw-extractor-set

Did anyone have any luck buying one in the 20 jan flash sale? The site kept crashing each time that I finally got though. If so would anyone mind sending me an invite to buy one?

Great, is that for the 16gb aswell as the 64gb do we know?

Also after an invite if there are any going spare please?

This one.. http://www.richersounds.com/product/tv---all/panasonic/viera-tx42a400b/pana-tx42a400b Doesn't appear to SMART?

No xbox or ps4 so only real requirement is for it to have SMART capabilities. That looks like a good price, wonder if the panasonic is worth the small amount extra?

Hi all, looking for a 42" hd tv ideally with SMART functionality. Can anyone recommend a good deal, not fussed about 4k or anything so budget ~ £300- £400. The one I've found so far is...

Scuff master, I've used the 'colour wash' method on a black leather bolster (BMW 1 series) and it worked a treat. http://www.liquidleather.com/scuffs.htm

My 944 is with Lancaster Insurance, under £80 for the year... try them.

Looking for the best/ cheapest all in one kit (software and hardware) to convert Video 8, Hi8 and Digital 8 tapes to DVD using a laptop. Must be relatively simple to use as its for my uncle. He still has the old camcorder so I believe it works through some sort of playback method through a scart...

Followed you all the way from just outside leicester city centre back to rothley. I was in a white mk1 mx5, first time I'd seen a 200T on the road, looked pretty smart. Josh

I need something similar to this. Tried about 4 different routers and with none of them will the wifi signal reach our lounge. Fine everywhere else in the house just this one room. Would I wireless range extender solve this? Does it matter where it is located? Closer to the original router the...

My uncle is taking delivery of his new Porsche Cayman S in the next few weeks and has been offered the obligatory Supaguard treatment for the cost of £299 from Porsche Centre Leicester. As he's not all that clued up about detailing he asked me if it would be worthwhile. I advised him against...

Tbh its most probably past the point of return, just thought it worth asking anyway.
