    1996 Volvo 850 T5

    The odometer reads 199k but the engine and gearbox have done a lot less (130k apparently). The one you've found sounds like about the right price, athough there are a lot of things that can go wrong so I'd give it a good check over before buying it. After reading on forums about other people's...

    Alternatives to the galaxy s2

    Thanks for those suggestions. I think it was the animations which made the lumia feel slow - everything was really smooth, but either way you were still waiting a couple of seconds for stuff to happen. I'm tempted by the galaxy note but don't want to run into the same issues. It's quite...

    Alternatives to the galaxy s2

    As much as I love the s2, it's got to the point now where I'm just too tired of the reliability issues. I'm on my sixth handset now and yesterday the gps decided to stop working, so I'm thinking it's time for a new phone. I've tried the sensation xe and wasn't impressed by the screen or battery...

    Do I need to pay this parking fine?

    Thanks for all the information, good job I didn't just bin it after the first few replies! I've called them up and they've asked me to write to them explaining my reasons for wishing to appeal. If they then reject the appeal or will only do it through court I'll just pay it.

    Do I need to pay this parking fine?

    They certainly would have been if there had actually been any there. Clearly you're not familiar with Greenwich Park, there are ticket machines in the main carpark (painted green so they blend in with the surroundings) but none on the internal roads in the park. Combine that with the fact that...

    Do I need to pay this parking fine?

    Many thanks for all your replies I don't have the ticket in front of me right now, will let you know tonight :) That's interesting. The people who issued the ticket were called NSL, who also issue tickets for the council, hence me assuming that it was a council ticket. However, I guess they...

    Do I need to pay this parking fine?

    Parked in greenwich park today, and everything was covered in snow, so I couldn't see any lines parking out spaces etc. I parked on what I assumed was free parking, next to several other cars with no tickets displayed. When I came back, unfortunately we'd all been given parking tickets by The...

    android app for recording journeys

    Having seen the forecast for snow, and knowing the general snow driving ability of the british public, I'm thinking it may be a good idea to record my journeys in case someone decides to crash into me and tries to wriggle out of taking the blame. what I'm looking for is an android app for my...

    Is road horse racing legal?

    I don't know about the irresponsible horse racing bit, but in my experience they are all indeed scum :)

    RAC renewal

    I do this every year, ring them up, tell them their renewal price is a disgrace, and they nearly always halve it. Almost laughed on the phone the first time they did that :D

    Can't Wait For His First Day Back At Work Next Week! TLGR*

    This thread just re-affirms my opinion that the vast majority of garage workers are complete morons.

    Exhaust backbox replacement help

    I managed to find an aftermarket stainless one for £230 excluding vat and delivery which I may well end up going for. I'll definitely take a look at that, especially as there's one local to me. However, they're not open today so I'll have to try tomorrow. Thanks for letting me know :)
