    Does this exist? trickle charging from a jump starter/portable source

    The 182 has a battery fitted under the passenger seat. Can't remember the model but it's (probably) a track day battery that you would normally leave on the mains whilst parked in a garage. It came with a trickle charger with an AC plug. It holds enough charge to start the car for 2-3 weeks. It...

    Running PC with TV

    I'm shortly moving into a 1 bed flat and don't want to waste space with a Desk/PC setup. Would connecting the PC to a modern TV and using a bluetooth mouse/keyboard and speakers be a good move? I can see lots of advantages to running youtube/netflix etc. but are there any major downsides I'm...

    Odyssey PC680 alternative?

    Purchased my 182 last year, clean example with some well done mods, except maybe the battery relocation to under the passenger seat (although loads of room under the hood for a big air filter). The car is used sparingly, weekends and short journeys. As time goes on the battery is liking this...

    'black friday'

    Can we expect much from Apple or other Apple retailers? Currys are running £20 off with IPAD20A but going to hold out until the weekend. Don't expect Apple will offer anything(?) or much more.

    Fitting rear caliper

    It would appear one of my carrier bolts is threaded, maybe my fault, who knows, that'd DIY for you :o I'm looking at some calipers on eBay, what do I need to fit one of these? Do I now need to drain the fluids to put a new one on? new cable? handbrake issues?

    The allure of full frame...

    Does a full frame DSLR need to be on every photographers bucket list? I've been shooting since 2006 and at one point owned a Canon 40D, 10-22, 17-55 2.8 IS, 70-200 f4 L, 430ex flash etc! But sold it all for what I paid as prices rocketed and my usage declined. Been using a Panasonic GF3 and...

    Morocco with new toys

    After several years with a single lens M43 setup (20mm f/1.7) and with a high mountain trek on the cards I purchased a Samyang 7.5mm fisheye and Pedco UltraPod mini tripod. None of the classic Moroccan market images, you really need a long prime to do this without getting bothered. Still miss...

    New lens or GoPro?

    In 3 weeks I'm ascending Toubkal in the Atlas mountains, @ 4km up I'd quite like something to capture it all! Currently have a Panasonic GF-3 with 20mm f/1.7 lens and can't decide whether to get my hands on a Samyang 7.5mm f/3.5 UMC FISH-EYE (£225, UK seller) or get a GoPro 3+...

    Suspension arm MOT failure, what parts?

    My first MOT hasn't been a success. The garage says they'll fit any parts I source. The description isn't enough for a car ludite like myself to confidently pin down the parts. 1994 CLIO II 2.0 16V http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CLIO-SPORT-172-182-V6-LOWER-WISHBONE-SUSPENSION-ARM-/300357315439

    OEM parts

    Put an eBay screen in my 4S and well, its gone naff after 4 months. Can still use it for text and calls but waiting on the next iPhone/Nexus to come out could get tedious. Where do you buy your parts? Has anyone heard of or used Regizmo, can't find them on trustpilot...

    Clean install with SSD

    Hi all, Just picked up a SSD hard disk and want to start fresh to get my system flying again [along with sticking more RAM in]. Perhaps a stupid question, do I just plug the SSD into slot 1, boot up and it will recognise the blank disk and allow me to run my OS install? Or do I need to run...

    Olympus OM-D E-M5

    Wow. I've already jumped ship from Canon and sold all of my bulk for M4/3 but if I hadn't this camera would have sealed the deal. Might find myself selling my Panasonic GF3 and slapping my 20mm f/1.7 pancake onto this, have to wait for the price to drop mind, not shooting enough to justify a...

    #Blockthebill London

    Was about the city on my Brompton and thought I'd check out the Blockthebill protest taking place on Westminster bridge, was only there 15 minutes but fired off a few snaps with my new GF3 + 20mm. What a gem of a camera system, not a chance I'd ever casually carry around my old Canon gear...

    Picking a game for my new PC.

    Got myself an i5 quad core GTX470 power house (ok so its OK)... and need a game to really test it. Currently have CS: Source Think I'll get Crisis 2 in the new year as that should really test out my system and has an on-line element. I'd rather wait for this than bother with black ops, unless...

    Comprehensive backup?

    I've had a new pc for 2 weeks now and this morning the software needed restoring (fingers crossed it was only a software fault), so had to start from scratch. I didn't lose anything but is there any way of backing up a PC that means I don't have to go through all the agro of re-installing...
