    Decent hardtail <£500 - suggestions

    Nothing too strenuous to be fair, just rides through forests and maybe the occasional MTB park outing. It'll be replacing an ageing Trek 4300 :)

    Decent hardtail <£500 - suggestions

    Was looking at buying a new bike for around £500 and had narrowed it down to the VooDoo Bizango - just about to purchase and I notice the new 2018(?) model is out albeit back at the full price of £625. Is it worth going for this rather than the 2016 model? Main difference from what I can tell...

    Any decent budget Android tablets nowadays?

    Any thoughts on the Chinese models? Seen one on the bay - Android 7.0, 4g, 10.1" for around £100. If you're happy with just WiFi only the same model is around £60. Thought it sounded too good to be true but saw some positive reviews on the Chinese phones, not sure how the tablets compare?

    BMW E46 318i intermittent blue smoke

    Dropped the car off with them this morning, they've just rang saying they've fitted a new CCV and replaced all associated pipes, and as a result there's no more blue smoke. The guy said it's been up to the local MOT centre and had an emissions test done too which it's passed. Print out...

    BMW E46 318i intermittent blue smoke

    I've tried the find a hill and coast down in third, then floor it (to create the blowback vacuum) and no smoke. I understand this is the best way to prove it's the valve stem seals? Tried putting it in a higher gear so it's properly under load and no smoke either. The only time it's...

    BMW E46 318i intermittent blue smoke

    I've done a few small short journeys since but haven't seen much blue smoke. In some ways I wish it was a constant thing as I'd then be able to prove it by just turning up with the car and showing him. Update - spoke to the guy today who confirmed with his mechanic that the oil change was...

    BMW E46 318i intermittent blue smoke

    Evening chaps, I purchased a 2004 BMW E46 318i touring today. I've spent all week looking at coupes and saloons which were in all sorts of states. At one of the last ones today, I loaded up Autotrader to see what else was nearby and up came this touring a few miles away, figured I had nothing...

    OcUK Health Seekers: Post your progress pics

    Awful photos but this my progress following a PHAT routine for the last 2 months. I was planning on continuing the routine along with my bulk until the lifts stall and reevaluate from there.

    BMW Z4 Suspension Options

    Back in June I found I had the common snapped spring issue, so I replaced the whole lot with a set of Eibach Pro springs. I'm really pleased with how they look, especially combined with the 20mm spacers on the rear. It's fine around town however when on a spirited drive on country lanes /...

    Audi A6 C5 as a cheap daily with a bit of luxury?

    What's the general opinion of the Audi A6 (C5) on here? I've been looking at them recently - it seems ~£2500 will get you a tidy one. It'd be replacing a MK1 Focus as my daily so reliability / running costs are extremely important. I know older prestige cars are not ideal for running on a...

    *** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Any opinions on this routine? Or something else to get stuck in to? ETA: it's basically this 3x a week: Squats Bench Presses Bent-Over Rows Overhead Barbell Presses Stiff-Legged Deadlifts Barbell Curls Calf Raises

    *** The 2013 Gym Rats Thread ***

    Has anyone come across AllPro's routine? http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=147447933 Seems to have a huge following on the BB forums and from a quick read it seems OK - mainly compound lifts, built in de-loading so you don't stall too quick etc. I'm coming back after a few...

    iPhone 4S to Nexus 7?

    Cheers, current contract ends in November so I think I'll be ditching that and grabbing a Nexus 4.

    iPhone 4S to Nexus 7?

    Oops, I meant Nexus 4! Great to hear there's no bloatware - I wondered if it'd be different with it being sim free from Google. I know on the Samsung for example there's loads of stupid chat / connect type stuff which irritates me. I thought the Nexus 4 had just been refreshed?

    Following custom routes when driving

    Sometimes I head up to the Peak District or over to the Yorkshire Moors which are the type of places where you can just drive without really taking notice of where you are, a lot of the time you'll find yourself on a decent road anyway. Fox - that'd be OK but depending on the area there's not...

    Following custom routes when driving

    I've got a BMW Z4 (E85) with the professional nav. It's 10 years old and lacking features of the modern TomTom's etc but for simple A to B directions, it's fine. Now, I often use Google Maps to create hooning routes but I'm struggling to follow them. Obviously I can't integrate these into my...

    iPhone 4S to Nexus 7?

    Hi all, I've got a problem with my 4S where the camera doesn't work. It just shows a black screen, or the shutter. There are hundreds of topics regarding this online and there doesn't seem to be an official fix - I've reset the phone numerous times and set it up as a new phone rather than...
