I drove a 09 Aygo for around 18 months and put 30k on it. The ideal car? No - far from it. But it provided me with some very cheap motoring. Threw up nothing unexpected. Serviced it, put tyres on it and a set of front pads and discs and that was about it. My Mrs also had a 58 plate for...

I never got this sorted as been a bit busy with various work projects. What would peoples thoughts now being based on Ryzen 4000?

Yeah Ideally I need to get something ordered and built this week. Thanks for the idea so far, would like to replace the case as never been happy with it. I'll re-use all of my drives, and also the power supply is fairly new Corsair 800W or so.

Hi All, My PC that I built in 2011 has given up the ghost - and I don't know where to start. i7-2600K 16GB RAM 500GB SSD And a few data drives ATI 6850 Graphics - triple display. I'm completely out of the game when it comes to new hardware these days, and it seems that Ryzen maybe the way to...

Been with TSOHost for around 10 years, got a reseller account with them and around 90 domains. I am going to move everything away from them as soon as I can. Since last year the service has been going downhill. I've had recurring issues with their email service with a customer unable to...

Hmm, I’ve had this car since it had 8-9k on it and I’ve never had the belt or pump changed on it. I’ll have to get to make some enquiries. It’s done some miles now, driven sensibly 47-55mpg is easily attainable. But hey, where’s the fun in that... My experience of this engine has been very...

Yeah I know the engine itself is chain driven. But it was my understanding that the waterpump was driven by the accessory belt?

I have a 2012 Skoda Rapid with the 1.2TSI in it. Covered 110k, whats the waterpump and belt interval on them? Never been changed in my ownership and thinking it must be about due, if not overdue!

I have been tasked with cable managing an existing rack. There are 4 1U 24 port patch panels, 2 x 1U 24port POE Switches and 3 x 1U 24 port gigabit switches. The two sets of switches connect to different routers, one is dedicated for the Hosted VOIP Solution which connects to the POE...

Take a voltage reading as you're cranking the car. If you've got a graphing multi meter even better as it'll be really easy. Wouldn't pay much attention to battery voltage when sitting there but when cranking, and then also when running to see if it is being charged.

Where have you got certificates for £7/year? I'm with TSOHost and they would still charge £25/year to manage the certificate. What are the advantages/disadvantages of Lets Encrypt certificates vs paid ones?

First set of disks I ever had to change were on a Toyota Aygo, a good hour of hammering all around the disc surface on both sides finally got them free. ~70k and original fit pads and discs, they were well on there! Make sure you have any disc retaining screws out, many discs have two. If...

Yep, but the coil has taken the PCM with it and requires replacement as well. With the cost of repair compared to the value left in the vehicle doesn't seem the smartest of moves to me.

Finally, an update. Took it to the Ford Dealer where she bought it and they have diagnosed it as needing a new coil pack and PCM, for circa £1200 incl. VAT. My sister is now considering her options, as we can get rid of it for ~£2000 and get her an upgrade in the process as the Ka is base...

We swapped a new coil pack onto it and took it for a run today, still misfired at speed so that came off and went back to the motor factors! Spark plugs were replaced last week with NGKs which are the OE plugs for that engine.

Hi all My sister has a 1.25l Ford Ka late 2012. It throws the following codes: P0300 - Random/Multiple Misfire P0301 - Clyinder 1 Misfire P0304 - Cylinder 4 Misfire It started Sunday last week, having only been serviced the Saturday. Having full service, including spark plugs, timing belt...

Got hold of them easy enough but didn't have anything in stock. Walked into the Dealer and the parts guy picked everything up off the shelf and even checked with one of their techs as I wanted to see if the discs were supplied installation ready (like Pagid) or needed cleaning at install. Have...

Was in a similar situation with my late 2012 Skoda Rapid last year. Went for OEM all round as they'd nearly made it to 80k, had no noise complaints and had worn well. Think a full set of pads and discs all round cost me less than £200, dealer and TPS pricing around here was exactly the same.

Hi Guys, A friend of mine has asked for some help where he needs to configure some VOIP phones into a network and they have created a vlan for each individual office, which have as few as 4 data points, and a maximum of 12. Each desk only has one data point going to it, so we have no choice...

VW Up / Skoda Citigo / Seat Mii are all the same car Toyota Aygo / Citroen C1 / Peugeot 107 same story Ford Fiesta Ford Ka Will easily find something in that budget. All come with variations of 1l 3cylinder engines that return excellent mpg figures. I've owned a 2009 Aygo, have regular...
