Hey guys, simply put i wanna walk up to my gaming PC pick a pair of headphones off a stand put em on and have them work then take em off and put em back on the stand ready for next time. Is that too much to ask? Is there anything decent and affordable like this? TIA

Hey guys, i have a buddy who uses Sage accounting from 2 locations. Previously he used teamviewer but was flagged for commercial usage (i had warned him!!) so i said fear not ill set you up an RDP link via a DDNS. Easy peasy. But im now having reports of sage crashes when printing, their main...

only asked about the plate as the hooks on the spring compressors fit neatly into the holes in it, wondered if it was "a thing" lol

yeah i do know of the bomb like nature of compressed springs. very scary lol i believe i do have all the tools and have done a spring before (strut in a vice torqued up) but maybe if i can find a garage open tomorrow ill get it done on a machine

ok well i was being dramatic i guess (read inexperience) i used a wire brush on a drill to properly clean the thread, then i got some molegrips and locked em around the head of the bolt. Barely took and effort then, tie rod was way worse lol one thing, im rebuilding the strut, does this look...

thanks guys. the issue is the top of the nut isnt a hex it's a rusted torx and access is quite restricted by the hub. I'm worried about rounding that out. vids online seem to all pop off the lower balljoint so I might go that route first with a pry bar and cut as second option. its deffo bulges...

i would like to tighten it and cut it off above the bulge so i can reattach to get car to garage. as you can see above it ive removed the pinch nut for the lower ball joint and had a go separating that way but i need a better lever

Its this bolt the nearest one, you can see how its deformed

Hey guys, i do a lot of diy mechanicing and have done it all from a £30 amazon trolley jack :( its given up the ghost and barely gets my car off the floor. Plus ive wanted to do some bigger projects like dropping the transmission and changing the clutch etc. I cant realistically get a lift or...

Hey guys, missus watches TV at night but i sleep early. What would you all recommend for some form of wireless headset that goes from headphone jack to transmitter wireless to headset?

speaking of welding, im not opposed, what is it that generally needs welding? is it, sorry for the bad terminology, like joints in the subframe or chassis? Like bits of the main car that just need reattaching and reinforcing? Im interested as i often see "needs rear end welding" for example, but...

Hey guys, dont come in here much, found myself enjoying auto repair lately, ive rebuilt some suspension struts re run brake lines changed some calipers fixed some body work what not. Got me thinking id like to get into doing up a car a bit over time. Mainly for learning not profit or anything...

Based on the mad amount of googling I did last night those fonts were taken out of 7. Most of the issues matching mine were from people on 7. In my case it appears the narrow set of the arial family was taken out of a recent update. Or lost in it somehow. Wierd

Thanks m8. Gave all that a go, no joy, fixed it by midnight, guess what it was? Arial Narrow Bold had gone walkies in the creators upgrade to win 10. Change font and it was all there!! Grabbed a copy of the font off another PC and boom. Thats definitely a first for me
