    Honda Civic 8th Gen soooo disappointed

    I've had a 1.8 8gen Civic before getting a company car and having to go back the diesel route. Still stuck with a Civic though. I found it fine, but the driving style takes some getting used to. All i can say is don't be afraid to rev it. It may make a lot of noise but all the power is at the...

    Help needed deciding on NAS

    I'm biased but I love my Synology, yes its a 212j and a few years old but still supported by them and works flawlessly. Their support was excellent too when I needed to contact them.

    M3 - minor accident - potentially large bill?

    I did the same but with a slightly smaller vehicle a few years ago with very similar damage and wasn't expecting much of a repair bill. On my Honda Civic the bill came back to just shy of £5k. There was all other things people have already mentioned that I wouldn't have thought about such as...

    Spec check please

    Last minute decision I've decided I would like a new PC. My current one getting quite long in the tooth and myself increasingly impatient with how slow it now is. I'd like to spend as little as possible but without scrimping on components and would spend a extra few £ if something was worth...

    Alfa Romeo Mito

    My mate took one out for a test drive a few months ago and I went with him. It broke down on the test drive, no joke! Poor steering went, leaving with super heavy steering and then all electrics died after pulling over. We walked back to the garage (only half a mile away) told them where it...

    Just got a new 1.6D Civic

    Mine is for 18k a year but is not considered a personal lease. I pay £131 inc. maintenance a month which I think is excellent! No servicing, tyres, insurance etc to pay for :D It's heavily subsidised as I don't get any other allowances for fuel as its included in the monthly cost, they give...

    Just got a new 1.6D Civic

    Fantastic choice of car ;) I've got the exact same, Milano red EX with Dynamic pack. Can echo the exact same things as you've said, mines a NHS lease car and is saving me a great deal compared to running my own car and claiming business miles. I'm 1.5 months in now and got 3000 miles on...

    T-Mobile USA

    Contact your current network as soon as possible to get your phone unlocked, as when I travelled to the US recently tried to get my iPhone unlocked at the last minute and couldn't as they said they needed 28 days and that it would be 28 days because of Apple. It will work fine but you will...

    Civic i-ctdi or 1.8

    So would I, this coming from someone who has had a 2.2 Type-s for 15 months and a 1.8 EX for 2 years (its going tomorrow for a new 1.6 i-DTEC EX) Each have their good points and neither is a bad car but I enjoyed the diesel more. Also how anyone can say it sounds like a clattery diesel engine...

    Can anyone on the BE network do a few traceroutes for me?

    Mine looks a bit worse than yours, I'm on o2 broadband but should be the same I think. I'm on llu but only get 2.5mb/900k. I usually average ~53ms to any site at the best of times, but over the last day have noticed a drastic slowdown just in general browsing, I don't game so cant comment on...

    It's snowing

    Me too! Got winter tyres but they're not on the car at the moment as this cold snap was a bit unexpected. Tyres are in my parents garage at their house, been snowing tonight too but only a dusting so far. I think we had 1 day of decent snow to try them out on last year and they were fantastic...
