    Which DSLR to get to start learning some decent photography £1000 budget range

    So far I've bought a 70D w/ 135mm STM, 270 EXII and a 100mm L from Portus with no issues whatsoever. Cheapest place I've found and, so far, it's all been sent from within the UK so very quick and no import charges.

    5-7k Petrol Hatch

    Seems like this is the engine to go for in a Civic for our power requirements, does this ring true? Correct! The Focus can be scratched off the list now as well as she isn't really a fan, despite it being a good all round package. She now has her heart set on this 147...

    5-7k Petrol Hatch

    A Mazda 3, wonderful! I'd completely forgotten about these, thanks guys! Mini is also a good shout, I'll have a trawl through AT and PH to see what they bring. I do like Volvos, in fact I'm sitting in a nice new V60 right now but I fear the boot on the C30 may be a bit small from memory...

    5-7k Petrol Hatch

    I'd like to replace my mother's 2003 Alfa 147 1.6 with something similar. She'd like a late model (2008) of the same but ideally I'd like to get her in something a bit more modern. Requirements: - £5-6k (up to £7k max) - Hatch back - Petrol (6k miles per year) - Comfortable - 'Nice'...

    Ampera vs I3, any genuine experience

    I've been lucky enough to drive a few i3 cars around recently and, I must say, I'm impressed! Some important things: With the range extender you can engage it once you reach 75% battery capacity, not earlier. When in use it only maintains your battery's level of charge, but you can keep...

    *** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

    I would use the group buy discount on detailing world to get the Autobrite lance with 5l of magifoam, most people swear by it.

    What have you done to your car today?

    Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

    What have you done to your car today?

    What's that camera called BennyC? I'm looking for something similar myself.

    Speaker wire

    The only thing you're after with cable is low resistance so the signal doesn't drop in current or voltage. This is affected by gauge and material only. You can work out the resistance of a piece of cable with a multimeter. It is generally thought that, so long as the resistance of the cable is...

    Gritter damage - Take to court?

    Thanks for the responses so far. The things that look like leaves are cut-up post it notes pointing at the biggest of the 'fresh' chips from the incident, I forgot to mention that in the OP! The new chips are quite easily identifiable. They are all white (didn't go through to metal), similar...

    Gritter damage - Take to court?

    Good day chaps. Back in November my E39 was victim to a gritter dispensing, what seems to have been, way too course a grit, with way too high a spread. I've got stone chips now on the bonnet, both front wings, all 4 doors, wing mirrors, a few on the roof and a windscreen which is covered in...

    Accelerator pedal broke (e39)

    Part 2 is the bracket I'm talking about. Do check yours is the same though. Part number is 6772702. Check ebay, searching either the part number or 'E39 Pedal Bracket'. Shouldn't be more than £10-15 when one comes up. If it's the actual pedal that's broken then there are loads of used ones...

    Accelerator pedal broke (e39)

    If it's the electronic pedal rather than mechanical then I did the same thing quite recently. The pedal assembly slides off the base to the left, you have to insert a large flat head screwdriver in a small notch on the left hand side of the assembly. Can't remember whether you push it up or...

    FAO Fox: Buying a E39 530i Sport

    I took it out to lay cables for an audio system and add sound deadening to the cabin interior, but the project keeps expanding as I get new ideas and, as a result, it's just one long work in progress!

    FAO Fox: Buying a E39 530i Sport

    Mine is Slate Green too and, while I wasn't keen on it at the beginning, it's really grown on me. I've got Sandbeige interior though, which admittedly would have been my preference over grey. Not impossible to recolour though, and combined with the dark carpet could look very nice. Mines...

    What have you done to your car today?

    Just got some for the E39, despite being the wrong colour! For £11 I can't really turn them down, like Vox they'll be good for the winter at least. Thanks!

    Which HID Kit for my car?

    50W ballasts will make the bulbs blow quicker than 35W variants, which is why I went with 35W. When I got water in one of my ballasts (aggressive cleaning of my E39 engine bay, should've known better), I bought one of these, hasn't skipped a beat. I didn't want a slim one as I already had the...

    £200 10" Tablet

    Looking for a good value 10" tablet for my mother to be used for games and web browsing. I was originally going to get a Samsung Tab 2 10" (£205) but the resolution on the Archos the Titanium 97 HD (£150) and Platinum 97 (£190) give them some appeal, only some bad reviews put me off...
