    What's the oldest component in your rig?

    My LS120 drive, do they still exist? :D

    6800GT running too hot?

    (Assuming you aren't using Leadtek) Leadtek 6800GT uses a different cooler from the other 6800GT manufacturers, which is suppose to be good. Their previous cards I've used came with some pretty good non-stock coolers, hence I chose the 6800GT from Leadtek. The instability recently usually...

    6800GT running too hot?

    I'm currently running a Leadtek 6800GT. I don't usually pay much attention to the temps but recently, the system has started to become very unstable when running games or anything that is graphically intensive. GPU Core temp is at 87ºC on idle with an ambient temp of 65ºC. Running a random...

    Your opinions on this colour please

    Yes. Quoted for the truth! I always thought the 5-series was suppose to look a bit conservative. That colour just doesn't suit it, attracting attention for the wrong reasons tbh.

    New car for 20k

    Good lord, what Golf Diesel costs £20k brand new at the Golf GTi's price territory? Even a Focus Ghia 2.0 TDCi, a better car and engine IMO, is around £17.5k brand new. It's just as stupid as buying a brand new Corsa... and a Corsa can easily do 450 miles to a tank on motorway journeys so...

    OcUK Networking Range - Opinions?

    Routers: It is becoming more and more popular as an ADSL hardware, I suppose that area could be expanded. What I do find is the lack of SpeedTouch routers (they are very good when it comes to performance) and Draytek routers (expensive but reliable and good performance). SpeedTouch routers are...

    Opinions on 18 month contracts

    Apart from network providers wanting to earn a bit more cash due to the longer contract duration as they don't earn as much as before, I'm starting to see an increasing trend in promoting 18 month contracts with e.g. half price deals or deals that seem too good to be true when it simply isn't...

    Anything wrong with this job application?

    Clearly, my application to OcUK years ago was superior to those you have quoted and I still didn't get the job :p (probably because I had to offer to relocate to Stoke-on-Trent for a job, which seems insane :D) As someone who has gone through many job applications and interviews in the past...

    Samsung Z140 , Poor battery life ?

    It could be to do with Samsung's software. There was a similar problem with a batch of Z500 which drained the battery within a day. Replacement batteries didn't do the trick but updating the software did :)

    3.

    3 has continuously improved as a network in the past few years. Some of the handsets they sold in the past were indeed horrid but some of the ones they sell today are just as bad :p Unless you are looking for a good deal and require nothing else thereafter, I wouldn't even go near 3. Anything...

    Plot me a route...

    If you are referring to the backroads, forget it :p 1) Belmont Hill leading to Lee Terrace is on a rather steep incline. A modern double decker bus struggles to climb up the hill. 2) A 53ft long truck won't get through Granville Grove as it is a tight turn with several more tight turns...

    Owwww my ears - total nightmare

    It is legal until the coppers take notice, mainly at night :) Had the same problem with my old Punto where the backbox wielding broke and sparks were coming out from the back end of the car at 60mph with the exhaust being dragged on a dual carriageway with those silly "temporary no hard...

    convince my friend NOT to get a corsa !!

    Fox posted here :confused: He'll trash the Corsa in every way possible :p The '95 model had a poor safety record. You can't compare it to the '99-2002 model. 2002+ models have improved quite a fair bit too. You should get your air con checked (regas if necessary). Economy sounds pretty good...

    convince my friend NOT to get a corsa !!

    There is nothing wrong with getting a Corsa, except that it is just a car, does its job like any other car but doesn't really excel in any areas (i.e. just an average car). The 1.0 12v engines are crap. It is rev happy and it does need a lot of revs to get it moving, you can probably push the...

    Plot me a route...

    I don't see what the problem with the A2/M2 is apart from the odd slowdown to 30/40mph in the 50mph areas, probably due to panic braking from speed cams unless an accident takes place where it'll take 2-3 hours to clear up :p FYI, there are roadworks on the A20 at the moment (Lee High Road...

    Audi Q7 v Merc GL

    Another vote for the Q7 since I looked at one in the showroom the other day (my aunt is looking to get the petrol version). I can probably say more when I get a chance to test drive it. The exterior looks of the Q7 is a love or hate thing, personally I'm not too keen on it, but as you've...

    :eek: Crack in Windscreen!

    Call up insurers who will tell you to call the glass company they are associated with. There is usually an excess for windscreen damage, around £50-75 depending on insurer and no you will not lose your NCB. You will have to do the calling and make the arrangements for someone to visit you to...

    Public transport a viable alternative to a car for you?

    Public transport is a failure in this country, it is one reason why I switched over to the car permanently after passing my test. Daily journey from Islington to Blackheath (North to South London): Car Daytime - 45 minutes including time to avoid congestion charging zone (unless Blackwall...

    Alloy wheel repair?

    I tried the search function as I recall someone asking a similar question a few weeks back but couldn't find the thread. Some idiot managed to hit my parked car, adding some green paint on the black body mouldings on the front driver-side of my wheel arch, some paint on the front bumper and...
