    NEST thermostats

    Anyone had experience of Currys fitting the Nest? Having mine installed on Wednesday. Does the installer bring the kit? I ordered online but just have the installation date, but haven't received any equipment. Now that it controls the hot water, I'm hoping the heat link will just replace the...

    Spec me a Canon lens

    It's a 400D. Mainly family shots, and possibly try and get some Disney firework shots as well - I'll need a tripod as well for that though Thanks for the responses

    Spec me a Canon lens

    I'm taking the family to Disney World towards the end of June and fancy hiring a good Canon lens to capture some good pictures. Any suggestions for which lens to get? I don't want it too huge as I'll have to carry it round all day. Price not a major consideration as I intend to hire it...

    NEX 5n - My initial impressions and initial pics

    Before I hit the Buy button one on of these, how quick is the autofocus? I switched from compact camera to DSRL 5 years ago because the compact was so slow at focusing, I understand that things have improved but is there still a noticable delay?

    Got caught speeding - no points or fine!!

    Your mistake here was breaking in a straight line. Next time you see a speed camera it's best to veer sharply to one side, preferably with the rear end out. That way it's harder was the camera to get a fix and record your speed. Listen to the advice above and you too can have 20 years of...

    Another....Speck me a BMW thread......

    2 are on boosters and one in a childseat, but it would be very rare to have all 5 of us in the car, as on family trips we would take the wife's MPV. Only really need 5 seats for emergencies.

    Another....Speck me a BMW thread......

    Thanks for the comments. When did it lose its "horrific looks"? Prices seem to jump above £20k for 2008 cars, so I'm guessing sometime around then?

    Another....Speck me a BMW thread......

    Right, I would like a BMW 3 series either 330i or 335i, sadly has to be a saloon rather thean the coupe, as I need to carry 3 kids and the wife. My maximum budget is £20k, but would be happy to spend less :p Looking through Autotrader and Approved BMW, the best example I can find before...

    Focus ST v Golf GTI v Alternatives

    Pre facelift ones are 231g/kg co2, meaning £425 per year in tax Otherwise get a post facelift one with 224g/kg co2 meaning £225 per year in tax, but pay for it in depreciation. Not sure how the government justifies such are large jump in £ for such a small increase in co2, but that's for...

    Focus ST v Golf GTI v Alternatives

    Considered the Mazda 3 MPS? Can get an 2009 for £12k 260hp and 0-60 in 6.1 sec. Not sure how much torque steer there will be, but I guess all hot hatches will be affected to a certain degree.

    LPG conversions - anyone done it?

    I had my Saab converted 40k miles ago. Cost me £1.5k to get it converted. From experience, there is no noticeable loss of power. I certainly can't tell when automatically it switches from petrol to lpg after the engine has warmed up. It has run faultlessly, the only downsides are the small lpg...
