    What to get,Ipad 2 or Galaxy tab

    I have a Galaxy Tab and other half's mother has an iPad. iPad has a bigger screen but to be honest I found it too big for a mobile device. Couldn't really get on with iOS either. It works well but I much prefer Android. The screen is fragile on iPads too. Other half's mother dropped hers within...

    Linux is the linux os good?

    I run Ubuntu on a dektop and Joli OS on a netbook and I'm very pleased. They boot quicker and don't lag and been hassle free. On my desktop, XP has gotten to a point the monitor keeps dropping out. I know it's graphics driver related but it's pee'd me off so much Ubuntu is the only one I boot...

    TDCI Judder

    I'll try popping into Ford tomorrow and see what they say but I have heard of Seat's having this issue too and being down to ECU software. Yeah, I suspected EGR valve at first but my thinking was there would be black smoke out of the exhaust when rev'ing high. Surely excess play in the...

    Have you been able to check if there's any contamination in the coolant? Have you tried using leak detection dye?

    TDCI Judder

    Not feeling the judder through the steering wheel and don't have any juddering above 55MPH. I'd have thought if it was wheel balancing it would be consistently there. If I accelerate a little harder from 50MPH to 60MPH, there's no judder. To be honest, it doesn't feel like a wheel balance judder...

    Sky Broadband unlimited?

    Agreed. I used to live out in the sticks about 7 years ago and when I first moved there, I couldn't even get ADSL and had to live with dial up. Once ADSL was available, I could only get about 256kbps at first and it was so unreliable and constantly dropped out. By the time I moved out in early...

    TDCI Judder

    Nope, not spoken to a dealer. How much are we talking to remap?

    Sky Broadband unlimited?

    I've had this issue. House I've just moved into had a Sky line. It cost me £59 to transfer is over to another provider (Orange in this case).

    Maybe it's only leaking under pressure as you're driving around? I believe on diesel engines the coolant pressure can get quite high as you're driving. I've seen HGVs with bodged coolant hose runs with high pressure silicone hose and over a short space of time the coolant pressure has...

    Tools Kit

    To be honest, I wouldn't expect much at that price in a tool chest. I'd spend a little more on the tools you really need or build a set up over time. I use hand tools day in and day out at work and some of the cheaper stuff I have bought has left me disappointed such as ratchet spanners seizing...

    Sky Broadband Issue

    Must admit, I have heard bad things about Sky Broadband. I know they aren't one of the best companies to deal with from being a Sky TV customer. Are you running a long extension lead or anything to the modem? A poor extension lead will have a similar effect. If you feel like changing, I've just...

    Buying an insurance write-off

    I think it depends on what exactly the damage was. The damage I've seen on some Cat Ds I reckon could go back on the road with no ill effects if repaired properly, whereas I've seen others that would never be quite the same again. I'd personally avoid.

    TDCI Judder

    I've just bought an 05 TDCI Fiesta about 6 weeks ago but when in fifth with very light throttle or light throttle going up hill at around 50mph, you can feel the car judder. It goes away if you either ease up on the throttle or push it down a little further. It appears to be there in fourth too...

    Ford fiesta 03 head unit

    The Ford Fiesta came with the Aux connector as an optional extra around the lighter socket area. I wouldn't be surprised if the wiring is already there under the centre console. I'm lead to believe the wiring to the remote on the steering column is present whether or not the controller is there...

    Ford Focus oil change - how much in?

    To be honest, during the summer months, 10W-40 would be fine IMO. 5W-40 would offer you better protection in colder weather.

    Young Drivers Insurance

    That's a good idea even if it is a bit "Big Brother"!

    I'd get it checked if you're putting that much coolant in. There's something amiss. Better safe than sorry and at least if it's a leak, it should be cheap to put right.

    Ford Easy Fuel?

    The one that gets me is that on more modern cars, it's not possible to put a diesel fuel nozzle in a petrol but not vice versa (excluding those similar to the OP mentions). I believe a petrol would be a little more forgiving about having a little diesel in it than a diesel would be of having...
