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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

Any idea what I could use to remove this cloudiness on the chrome trim of a 2001 BMW 5 series? I've tried the usual stuff such as Meguiars Metal Polish, Brasso, Metal T-Cut and nothing will budge it.

My mate is selling his mk4 R32, a very tidy example and looked after meticulously. Also comes with the private plate... http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/volkswagen/golf-r32-r/black-mk4-r32-low-miles-fsh-private-plate-full-leather-sunroof-cruise-control/1065404

My brothers, Clio Dynamique SX 1.2 TCE. 2007, 37k miles, £4995 ono. See gumtree advert... http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/renault-clio-dynamique-sx-12-tce-special-edition-2007/1003397392

As above saw you heading into Leamington Spa on Old Warwick roundabout today. Looked very nice indeed, made me wish I kept my trophy now.

Finally got round to giving my Clio 200 a good clean yesterday. I didn't think it needed machine polishing just yet, having been looked after very well by its previous owner (I think RussZS has worked on it in the past). So just the usual wash with 2BM (Megs shampoo plus), and AG HD Wax applied...

New Retina display and up to 512GB flash storage, has to be a winner! http://www.apple.com/uk/macbook-pro/#macbookpro

So, about a month ago I sold the Trophy, it went to a member on here so I'm sure it will be looked after well. Was originally looking at getting something abit more economical but when this 60 plate storm grey 200 cup came onto pistonheads, and it was local, I just couldn't resist it... Cup...

This is a mates 2011 VW Golf 2.0 TDI GT. Paid just over £22,000 for it less than 18 months ago. No marks whatsoever condition wise. Extras it has include the 18" Vancouver alloys, 6CD changer/ bluetooth stereo system and detachable tow bar. Due to a change in work circumstances and no longer...

My mate is selling his 2009 Ford Fiesta Zetec S 1.6, high spec and meticulously looked after... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3901565.htm

Anyone tried this, intrigued as to how it works, but seems a bit of a gimmick looking at the price? http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/dodo-juice-homebrew-premium-wax-kit/prod_970.html

My trophy's recently started making a creaking noise which looks to be coming from the drivers side suspension. You can hear it when driving over any slight bumps in the road and especially over speed bump. Also today noticed what must be a slow puncture as the pressure on this tyre was down to...

Whilst cleaning my interior out today, I noticed a random electrical connector loose on the driver's side seat belt pretensioner (trophy recaro's), no idea what it is or where it should be connected if at all, doesn't seem to be one on the passenger side. Any ideas?

Bit of a stab in the dark I know, but does anyone know of where I can get hold of a replacement BMW Business Radio for my dads 2001 E39, 525i SE Touring. It has the flat pin connector type, not round pin which seems quite rare. Only a few on ebay which are £180+ postage which seems a lot. I've...

Brand new storm grey 200 with recaros, spotted parked up in mountsorrel and also along the A6 from Leicester, anyone on here?

Fitted some H&R hubcentric spacers (15mm front and 20mm rear) on my brothers mk3 1.2 clio and 3 of the new extended wheel bolts seem to have cross threaded onto the front N/S hub. These are the extended wheel bolts my brother ordered. Advised over the phone by Dave Featherstone at...

Had my MOT last week and there was an advisory that the rear brake pads were wearing thin. However when I had a good look at them they seem to be not even half worn? Is this right to flag them up on an MOT so early? Is it advisable to change them fairly soon? Car is a 182 trophy and only on...

Just downloaded autocad for mac from the autodesk student website, and it wont install on my macbook. It says my hardware is not supported by this version of AutoCad. Its a MacBook1,1 running Mac OS x V10.5.8 Is there any way to run a different version of autocad on my mac os other than...

Friday night around 5:30pm, on the A512 heading out of Ashby, was right behind you in the 182 trophy but got caught being the lorry after you overtook it. Looked very nice, like it was just out the showroom not a speck of dirt on it..
