Its not so much an issue or being able to afford but rather sticking to a target budget. Most parts were picked up second hand for a significant discount over retail prices.

I'm feeling with the advice so far upping to 750w would be sensible and provide a bit of headroom as oppose to the zero currently available. The 3700x was chosen due to budgeting. Finding a 5600x on the correct side of 200 was proving difficult!

Quick copy and paste mistake before bed. My mistake

I'm looking for some advice as to whether an Sf600 would be sufficient in this build? FYI the vega 64 is the water-cooled variant ************ Part List CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Corsair iCUE H100i RGB PRO XT 75 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler Motherboard: Gigabyte...

Could an admin close this please

That's stunning, however I did more research and what I thought was a damaged plasticsill cover is actually dirty great hole. for that reason I'm out

I remember the post you made when you upgraded from the Mondeo, cant believe that was 14 years ago :eek: That doesnt surprise me, cars are always going to cost money and theyll cost double/triple again if its something you actually like or want to keep nice. We ran a TT tdi for the last few...

Id be expecting all work on the car to be carried out at home, my cars go to garages for tyres, MOTs and fuel but I cant do anything with the bodywork so its a no go

I know that makes absolute sense but I wanted the car to be "interesting". If I see a Mondeo on the road, I dont really notice it, if I see a E39 I recognise it as something cool, I know thats sad and largely pointless but its something I want in a car... but sod chasing rust repairs endlessly...

Thank you all for your input. After further research, the two stand out issues with automatic E39s appear to be random gearbox failures, there seems to be little correlation with service life or how hard theyre used, they can go pop at random. Secondly the rust basically sounds inevitable and...

But a T5 or Spec B will be pretty brutal on fuel costs. Alfa 159 estates are easy on the eye but again I have no knowledge of those things and the only interesting engine the range appears to have in a 3.2, which again wouldnt be fun to commute 60 miles a day in

Knew that was coming.. I know nothing about them and do nothing for me at all. Ill have a skim through ebay and see whats out there

Im not worried about excitement, but some reliability would be nice, not dissolving in a puddle of rust around me would be even better What other suggestions are there out there?

Its a pocket money car, if it dies it dies, itll be annoying but I have alternatives anyway, but Ive also got this optimistic, slightly romantic idea that this antique BMW is going to be awesome, rarely blow up, isnt going to totally do my head in due to 20 year old problems. In all...

I accept there will be a cost, regardless, its just a simple fact of driving, but Im searching for different ideas and not coming across anything I actually want (within a reasonable cost). What happened with your old 530 in the end? Last time I remember you posting about it was when youd...

I have a change of job coming up and the acquisition of two dogs in the last year has lead to a change in the line up of our current cars. I think an estate is the answer to the question, two dogs really dont go well in the back of a TT and I doubt a hatchback or saloon would be much use...

Little bit of help needed guys as I am not too clued up when it comes to RAM: My friend owns the following 16GB ram: HX316C9SR_8 https://www.kingston.com/dataSheets/HX316C9SR_8.pdf He is looking to expand to 32GB but i am unsure whether either of the following two kits would be compatible...

My Golf is on 233k. I had to replace the gearbox last week because it was utterly code f. the car was remapped at 90k miles, so yeah, 100k is too much because it will blow up
