    Electric Bike Conversion Kit or Electric Bike?

    The brake levers are more important if you use pedal assist, I agree of no use at all with a throttle only. However there is a lag between stopping pedalling and power stopping so brake levers that cut the motor immediately may make all the difference between crashing and not, if you use pedal...

    All Three One Plans to be cancelled from today

    Regardless of the upset/disappointment etc caused by Three's decision on this, UK prices are still the cheapest around. In Australia I am paying the equivalent of ~£40/month sim-only for 20GB, which is the best offer going around.

    All Three One Plans to be cancelled from today

    And this is what they're counting on, you're walking away as a happy customer blissfully unaware that this very plan you've 'bargained' down to £15, used to be £12 direct from their website even without any loyalty bonuses etc. Of course the reality is that they never had any real competition...

    Spotted ElliottJames today

    It's the //M that I'd have expected to see on an M3 or 5 that tickled me too.. don't think they have that one on the regular M-sports? Although I could be wrong. Yeah there was loads of room next to me as well :rolleyes::p It's on the way towards Sheffield, just after Centertainment...

    Debadge?

    I dislike the rear on the new XJ. Yes the interior and even the overall shape is nicer but the X350 has a nicer rear. For the record I think you should add the engine designation on the right, anything to break up the vast expanse of nothingness.

    Long time no see, I'm still alive!! New silly project.....

    Sometimes the T&Cs for these types of areas restrict doing mechanical work in them. However no-one cared when I took the front off my Golf and left it for a few days awaiting delivery of a part..

    Which of these two cpu/gpu combo's

    That's a big difference in CPU. One uses 3x the power and is more than 2x as fast, the other is designed as a low-voltage processor to maximise battery life where you wouldn't expect a discrete GPU. Mind you for an Office PC it probably won't matter but it's an odd situation to have to choose...

    Why are there still laptops with 720p TN displays?

    This is the issue. Then people go out and buy Macbook Pros for ££££ because all they know is every 15" Windows laptop they see is terrible, ignoring the fact they all cost <£400 and there's actually very nice ones spending just a little more..

    Gigabyte P27W V2 mini-review

    Just a quick review on my new toy :) I really struggled to find any reviews at all on this laptop before buying it so thought I'd share my thoughts for future buyers.. Details: Gigabyte P27W V2 in black - £950 Core i7 4810MQ (2.8GHz/3.8GHz boost) 15.6" 1080p LCD 8GB DDR3 SODIMM 1600MHz...

    Folding@home News 2nd - 9th April

    Cheers for the news. Think I'll be neding to take a protracted break from this lark again though, looks like I'll be switching back to a laptop for the foreseeable future.. :( Still, I believe I've quadrupled my score over the past 6 months despite running just a single GPU, vs the CPU with...

    New car dilemma, please help

    Mine was a 53 plate, I'd be surprised if the engine was pre-'02.

    New car dilemma, please help

    I believe the warning light came on a couple of times and it was topped up, then it died one day on the motorway.

    New car dilemma, please help

    What engine? The 1.8L petrol will use oil. Should still avoid mind, my old one died when the new owner allowed the oil to run too low.

    Tyres.... advice

    In that size the best available tyres are about £5 more expensive than the budget tyres so doesn't seem worth getting cheap ones, IMO.

    Rear view mirror repair/adhesive

    That's like getting too strong a fuse (too highly rated).. you end up replacing the expensive bit of the system instead of the cheap bit. Sounds like a good reason to avoid that stuff, paradoxically!

    Top Gear were right about Peugeot drivers.....

    She's at least early 50s and he's probably late 50s..

    Car leasing...a good idea?

    Just to point out that even with large MOT bills yearly, both cars will need servicing/brakes/tyres etc. So the cost of running a new car vs your old one is probably roughly £1000 more per year, just because the depreciation/leasing cost is far more than the repair bills. That may be worth it...
