I'm assuming plenty of you have experience with this? I've got a few Wi-fi black spots in my house, namely my downstairs toilet and 4th bedroom. My wife has just made the 4th bedroom her office so I need a solution. I bought a Powerline adapter so she could be hard wired, but thought getting...

I'm getting the house we've just moved into rewired in Jan/Feb and aside from the changing of cables, extra plug sockets and light switches etc what should I be looking at for future proofing the house? Is it worth getting ethernet cables run to every bedroom for wired internet access? Whilst...

Does anyone know if any of the main music streaming services allow you to filter out swear words? My son is getting more in to music and wants to start using one but from my experience you don't get the radio edited versions with the swearing bleeped out and its surprising how much swearing is...

My son has Xbox Live on his XBox and the account was linked to an Outlook.com email address that I have stupidly closed and now don't have access to. How do I update the email address linked to the account? As i no longer have a Microsoft related email address I cant even log in to their...

The tracking has been off in my car for a while so I asked the garage to have a look at whilst in was in there having the breaks done yesterday. When I picked the car up I was told that the tracking looked fine and was on "Zero" as it should be, which surprised me. I jumped in my car and it...

I'm sure there are loads of you who have been through the process of cancelling with Sky to get a cheaper deal, just spoke to them on Live chat and the best they could manage was 15% off my TV package so they are processing the cancellation for me. Once they have processed the cancellation, do...

It's time for me to get a new phone and I just can't decide between the Nexus 5x and the Samsung S6. I know the S7 is about to be released but looking at the spec there isn't a massive difference and it will be considerably more expensive. So the decision I have is, do I go for the better...

As a none gamer, i'm just after a quick bit of advice from people who have played this game. My son has asked for it for Christmas but he is younger than the 16 age rating. Reading the questions on Amazon, several people stated that there was no blood and no swearing and that in their opinion...

In the last couple of weeks when turning left quite sharply or at a little bit of speed, my oil pressure warning light and stop lights flash on but then go off again a few seconds later once I have finished turning. Any idea what would cause this?

I've just got back from holiday so the car hasn't been driven for a while, brakes sounded a bit rough to start with but nothing unusual after having sat for a while but the first time i took the car over 60 the ABS and Service lights popped up. I limped home, and left it over night, when i went...

OK, so I'm in the market for a new TV but I am unusual male and know pretty much nothing about them. I don't watch too much TV so it's not 'that' important to me so not wanting to spend more than £450 if possible. I currently have a 42" plasma and want a similar size upto 49". Ive no need for...

I've always had Virgin TV and internet and never had any problems but since I moved to my new house a few weeks ago they've been nothing but a nightmare so I'm going to have to go with Sky. Apart from the internet not being as fast is there anything I should be aware of? Any decent new customer...

My parents are getting on a bit and for the last year or so have had to have the TV on deafeningly loud just to be able to hear it, when I went to see them last weekend this has now progressed to them having to have the subtitles on so they know what is being said. What options are there from...

I've been monitoring my oil level for the last few weeks and it has gradually been going down, more than you would expect from normal use, however, I only ever park in two places day and night and neither have any oil patches as if there is a leak, any suggestions?

Unfortunately due to a poor split second decision last night I managed to cut up an 18 wheeler who clipped the back of the drivers side of my car. Luckily there was no damage to his beast so I just need to get mine sorted now. I'm going to need a new rear bumper and there is a large dent near...

I've had an Xbox 360 for ages, mainly to play Fifa or Pro Evo on but now my son is 7 he is starting to get more of an interest in playing on it so I am wanting to get some games for him to play but all the ones I look at seem to be for 16+. I was hoping that there were some other parents on here...

The airbag light keeps coming on on my dashboard, i'm pretty sure that it is linked to the passenger seat airbag as it only seems to happen once the passenger seat has been moved or sat on and it is probably just a loose connection as wiggling it seems to get the light to go off again, is this...

(Reposted as i put in the wrong section) Yup, it looks as though my Clio has joined the many others and now has a leaking sunroof, joy! I've already checked drain holes and they are both clear so It is now working out what is causing it. I am assuming it is either the seals that have corroded...

Yup, it looks as though my Clio has joined the many others and now has a leaking sunroof, joy! I've already checked drain holes and they are both clear so I am assuming it is now the seal. How easy is this to replace by yourself? I'm not that great when it comes to DIY stuff, has anyone got a...

Drove my car to the shops this morning with no problems, but when I got back in it to come home two warning lights came up on the dashboard. 1. Preheating/electronic fault or water in the diesel warning light 2. Exhaust gas monitor warning light I pulled over at the side of the road and turned...

In Decemberlast year i had my front right shock absorber changed at a different garage to the one i normally use but it was close to work and convinient. Last Friday i took my car to my normal garage to have a few bits sorted including a problem with the front right, being my normal garage he...

I took my car in to be washed and valeted at the local place last weekend and after they had finished, whenever i put the car into first, third or 5th, something is now creaking. It sounds like more like the plastic surround than the actual gearbox itself but i cant work out how it being...

I've been with Virgin for years and have never changed my package, I've just kept paying the price increases and getting little extra for my money. I remember back in the day that they were like mobile phone companies that if you call and threaten to leave that they offer you discounts, is that...

I'm stepping into the modern era and have just ordered my first smart phone, the Nexus 4. Now, having not used a smart phone before I have no idea how much data i will need/use, my tarrifs seem to include 1gb but i like the idea of having more, even though i have no idea if i will use it or...

Easy to fit/replace? My drivers seat seatbelt has been fine since i got the car, i went away on holiday, came back a week later and now it barely works so i need to sort it.

I've had my suspsicions for a while during the sporadic summer showers but it was fully confirmed after todays down pours. I came out to my car after work to find a nice wet patch on my drivers seat and the area around the drivers sun visor soaking wet. I am assuming that for the water to get...

Ok, so I recently bought this car and up until this point I had assumed that it had no alarm. I have just been onto Compare the Market to get an insurance quote and when I put my registration number in it is telling me that the car has a Factory Fitted Thatcham Approved Alarm? Is there any way...

My rear view mirror was looking a bit tatty so i bought a new one to replace it that should hopefully arrive tomorrow. In preperation i thought i would double check that i can remove my current one, apparently i can't. I am assuming it just needs to slide off the base that is stuck to the...

The rear view mirror in my car is pretty battered so i want to replace, just called my local place i normally pick bits up from and they told me that they couldnt get one for my car and i would need to contact a dealer which sounds like a load of BS to me. So, where is the best place to pick up...

I'm upgrading my standard headunit to an Alpine, while i'm at it i'm considering getting the steering wheel stalk adapter, has anyone done it and is it worth it? Or is it just me being lazy because i can't be bothered to move my arm down to the stereo and a waste of money?
