    Clutch starting to go...

    I guess the question is how knackered the flywheel is as a result of the duff clutch - you wouldn’t usually expect to have to replace either after 34k miles!

    Clutch starting to go...

    It’s a shame, they are great cars other than the clutch issues. I’m not a huge fan of autos as I find them less fun to drive, but probably going to end up going that way if I upgrade in the future. Thanks for the comments regarding the flywheel - hopefully it’s still in reasonable nick...

    Clutch starting to go...

    Hi all, I currently drive an Audi S3 8v (2014), and I’m starting to get clutch slip when accelerating hard in higher gears. I first noticed it a while ago but it’s getting worse over time, as you’d expect. Unfortunately some basic internet research shows that the clutches in these cars are...

    Of course you can. The vast majority will not, but it's far from impossible.

    Did you stay in BEM in the end? I got into them in October at 5.67, sold on Monday's crash at 8.10, slightly annoyed by the entire situation. I did well in January from KOD, got in at 0.20 and out at 0.45, and I'm currently in URU at 1.61 and PREM at 0.325. I'm in SXX at 0.23 as well...

    Emotive speech about gay marriage

    One of my friends was raised by same-sex parents and he's genuinely one of the most socially well-rounded and intelligent people I know. Can you explain what ill-effects you're expecting/anticipating when you condemn the idea of same-sex parents?

    Plane on a treadmill question

    Depends how well they are able to skid/roll on the surface they land on. They won't hit the ground "at 100mph" in the sense of a 100mph impact as their vertical velocity won't be anywhere near that high. As long as they're able to lose the kinetic energy across a long period of time they'll be...

    RNLI Lifeboat Crew Volunteering

    I'm going to look into the same when I move to Aberdeen in a couple of months. It's something I've always said I would do if in the right place, and my granddad was a big supporter of the RNLI. I've done my BOSIET for offshore work etc which involved similar training to what you're talking...

    Parmo in Glasgow?

    Lived in Glasgow for 5 years and never saw one there. I'm out in Australia at the moment and they're pretty obsessed with the simiar parmi/parma approach, basically the same but with a tomato sauce rather than bechamel. A haggis supper with cheese on the chips is what you want.

    So this Pokemon Go fad thing ..............

    Instead of playing Pokemon Go I've been playing walk as normal and see how many people with their heads in their phones unsuspectingly amble into my path. Not managed to walk into anyone yet, they all seem to notice last minute and jump out of the way.

    Okay OcUK investment team, how do we take advantage of this? Presumably the markets will overreact and we can reap the rewards so we've got loads of money to spend in the new, improved, independent UK?

    Huddys interview Guide

    Got told by whom? If it was instructions from the company interviewing you, then you should follow their instructions. Otherwise I'd suit up and wear a tie regardless, you can always take the jacket and tie off if it turns out you're massively overdressed.

    Stock noob - oil

    Currently trading at 11.5p after declining steadily from the time of mr tommo's post. This thread is a wonderful example of why people shouldn't gamble on the stock market, particularly in o&g and mining, unless they know what they're doing.
