Hi all, I need to change the pads on the rear of the 182 as they're down to nowt, they're the only place local to me thats open, are they any good?

Hi all, Im on the lookout for a new TV, not too fussed on the technology if im honest, i.e can be LCD, LED or Plasma. No need for it being smart or 3D enabled as it'll be primarily used for for the Playstation and freeview. So, i'd like a HD Freeview set if possible, the rest im easy on...

Hi all, Im at a bit of a cross roads with what to do with my tv/film/music media centre... Currently, i have no networked storage, and simply acquire stuff from 'the web' and stick it on a USB stick and use the PS3 to play it. Now, im looking to centralise my storage so need a NAS, and to...

Hi all, I'm looking to swap to an omp trecento wheel and after doing a search it seems some folk prefer the momo boss, why is this?

Hi all, I'm looking for advice on seats, my lardy arse finds the stock ones a bit unsupportive and just generally a little lacking in comfort.. So, I do a real mixed bag of driving, 20 mile commute a day, trackdays, and the odd long distance Euro trip so needs to be a jack of all trades...

Hi all, I know there'll be a big *sigh* at another cambelt thread, but in my defense, i have searched.. Now, i know all about the lining up of the notch with the pip etc, but i remember Fred mentioning to me when i was last at BTM that the belts can vary in length between manufacturers; so...

Hi all, I want to get my injectors cleaned and tested on one of these test bench jobbies over the weekend, has anyone used anyone in the west mids (the more local to Stourbridge the better) that does them quickly? Ideally i'd like to get them done while i wait as im impatient :P but dont...

Hi all, Ive had to remove the plenum to do a few jobs so wondered if it was worth matching the ports while its apart? Am i going to see any real benefit without any other major mods? Its already got a de-cat (again, how useful this is is questionable!) so would a matched inlet, decent panel...
