    Your bad driving encounters

    I think this is a real issue. The auto headlights on some cars are very poor at coming on in poor visibility such as rain as can be seen driving along in heavy rain or mist. There needs to be an awareness campaign that makes people realise that their auto headlights are not coming on in...

    5820K: upgrade time

    Thanks very much for the info. I haven't really bought anything for the PC since raiding the OCUK vaults in Dec 2015! I will have another look and update the cart.

    5820K: upgrade time

    It seems that my trusty 5820K, bought new from OCUK in December 2015 is no longer willing to play the latest games as smoothly as required. I think it is time to get rid of it and upgrade my PC. I intend keeping as much as I can (cooler/M.2 drives/psu/case/gpu) and get a new heart for the...

    Robot vacuums?

    We have had two Ecovacs deebots, a 920 (for the lat three years) and now a T20 Omni. The T20 has the latest twin mopping pads that rise up when it goes over rugs and it empties the dust automatically and cleans and dries the mopping pads automatically as well. It is genuinely an amazing thing...

    Selling a house with planning permission - worth doing?

    I would ask local estate agents and see what they say.

    When are you going fully electric?

    That's the main issue with the Q8. How did Audi increase the range over the previous fat etron? Whack in a massive battery but still get max 2.5 miles per Kw. It would have been good to have them work on the efficiency rather then just use up more raw materials in a massively inefficient car.

    *****Official BBQ Thread - Suns out, Buns out!*****

    That's exactly the same one we got tp replace our previous rubbish landman bbq. The Nexgrill is ace with the ability to cook low and slow without overheating and the stainless steel cleans up brilliantly.

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    I'm hoping that they are going to sort it for the next season as I can't play it at all at the moment. I keep loading the game up in the forlorn hope that it will be back to normal but no, every single time packet burst message. I had never even seen it until a few days ago.

    Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare / Warzone (Battlenet ID's in OP)

    I'm getting packet burst error every time I try to play MW2 now. It's been driving mr crazy as nothing has changed with the system or settings but it is unplayable. Been seeing complaints all over the web about it.

    New M.2 drive

    Hi. Son has an Asus G15 strix laptop which is going really well. We upgraded to a second 1TB M.2 drive but this is now full. What is the best way to replace the original boot drive (a 500GB M.2 drive)? The laptop only has 2 M.2 slots so we need to look at replacing that drive. Could we replace...

    New kitchen, mistake not to get built-in bin storage?

    We have a 600 base unit which contains a pull out bin - two 40 litre bins that we use for general and recycling. Get the biggest one you can is my advice. If you can only squeeze in a small unit then don't bother and get a quality standalone bin. This is what we have...

    When are you going fully electric?

    That's what we found. Even with the higher day rate, the amount of overnight usage we have with two cars to plug in easily outweighs that penalty. We set the dishwasher and washing machine to go during the night rate also.
