    DPF Regens and Fuel Use

    I think it tells you on the dash if it gets bad, otherwise it's relatively passive. Someone might be able to confirm this. I think another way to tell is you can see in the economy menu that the rear window is on regardless of the button setting (I believe I read this was to put more load on...

    DPF Regens and Fuel Use

    I have a 2013 insignia (still the older shape MY2012) and never see forced regens, if driven properly (temperature and high enough RPM cruising) and the DPF is working correctly it should passively clean itself.

    Doubleing up ?

    I agree with Ch3m1c4L, you could sell the 280x and get a better card. Its just a lot less hassle. Clocking up your i5 and getting a 290x (if you want to keep with AMD) should perform well.

    Which Sat Nav?

    I have a tomtom go 500 and its quite good, they have new models now. You get free traffic (via bluetooth tethering) and map updates. I think the live camera alerts are only around £20 for a couple of years again you need to mobile tether for this or just have the static cameras. Day to day...

    You could get an intel NUC on there :D In reality you need a bigger desk to put a PC on it.

    How many gamers purely use SSD's?

    I stick to just SSD's for games also, 2 x 256gb SSD's. For lots of games you seem to be at a disadvantage if you have slow load times. BF4 is infuriating without an SSD

    Two monitors seperate room - one GFX card

    Yeah you can do this, you can set the screens to mirror but you need the resolution to be the same on both monitors for it to look nice.

    Which ISP - Torrent Friendley

    Or you could use any provider that doesn't have a download limit and use a VPN provider like https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ But sticking with sky is likely the cheapest option

    Yellow muck under oil cap 2000 X reg clio [Advice]

    That looks like oil in the water, maybe the first signs of the head gasket on its way out. Im not familiar with the car so might be something less serious than that mind.

    How many passwords do you have for work?

    An ever increasing amount that is stored in an encrypted database, it isn't secure if you can remember them all (well it wouldn't be for me). So I just remember 1 good one that gets changed periodically.

    Mondeo or Insignia? 6-7k budget

    I got an insignia after driving both, I found it more comfortable than the Mondeo and at this budget I think you get a more attractive interior (subjective opinion). Both cars have the potential to throw up big bills, if you go for the insignia try to get the 160ps version though. I think...

    Vehicle Inspections

    They sometimes have a warranty that comes with the inspection, I know the AA does although how reliable it is I don't know.
