      ive had the 3 in 1 oil few years ago and never used it :D

      If 3 in 1 helps you might want to put some grease in the bearing as it will last longer than the oil.

  2. hey guys,

     

    hope you all are ok :) 

     

    was wondering if anyone is using the 5ghz setting on their router?

      I think some routers will swtich between the two depending on the device that it's connetcted too. a lot of devices still only run on 2.4GHz.  

    3. Paul Busby

      Well typically I would expect the router to have both 2.4 and 5ghz radios active and the device connects to the one (or both, depending on technology) that provide the best connection, but some of the earlier, or some of the cheaper 802.11ac access point devices don't support this.

      ok well an update:

      started quite well lastnight, it did speed up my game only slightly but i was next to the router though but upstairs it was quite bad then did morning it was really slow so put it back to 2.4.

      i have got an outstanding bill that i owe, is it better to pay all or instalments?

    4. ivess3

      ivess3

      Pay all if you can afford it. Or installments if they allow without any adverse credit affect. I would check with bill provider first

      cheers buddy, i have narrowed it down to hyper vse, typhon 6s and kraton so far.

      A bit of dirt is preferable to a broken car. The shorter arms and protective shell make the average SC far tougher than any open wheel vehicle, be it Buggy, Truggy or MT. 

       

      But you gotta buy what suits you.

  7. ok guys bit of an update:

     

    the door is locked permanently, i had check inside the door and the locking mechanism will not open the door at all.

     

    question is, how do i force the locking mechanism out from the door so i can open the door? i was thinking about a crowbar, i have already got another locking mechanism so i dont mind if this breaks, i will be putting the new lock into my new door

      yeah i didnt think about that, will have to buy some when i know which ones i need.

       

      i was thinking about taking the old door off and put the new door on then slowly put the things on it, what do you think to that? would that be better or should i just lay both doors on floor and do it that way?

      Used to work in a body shop years ago, Easy job, Once you get the door card off your see there is nothing to it, Had to remove the card on my Citroen C5 a while ago, And me Focus, Both as easy as each other.

      thank you babylon, went out to start the job 2 hours ago and guess what? i couldnt eve get the door to open 😡😡 tried kicking it from inside and tried pulling it from the outside with brute force and its jammed solid.

  12. has anyone done an online exam at home? 

  13. ok guys, i have had this problem few months now and i really would like to sort it out now. basically when i put an aftermarket radio on my skoda, the power stays on and then drains my battery. i have just come across something with a canbus interface and wondered if any of you guys have tried it out?

     

    cheers guys :) 

    1. Vr5fx

      Vr5fx

      You want iginition live for power. Constant live is for the radio memory ect. The stock radio in my Astra only has one live wire going to the radio and it's constant live. I'm going to be putting in an aftermarket one soon, so will need to take ignition live from the back of the temp control unit (which I already located).
      You could try the live wire from the cig lighter, see if that only powers on with ignition. I couldn't use that on mine, as it's constant live. Fuel relay should be ignition live too.

      Will need you multimeter to find one, In short... You want one with power that only shows 12v when the ignition is on, and nothing with the ignition off.

       

      Double check all your radio pins, You might have one wired the wrong way, might have ignition live sat there.

      cheers mate :) 

       

      my factory stereo still comes on when i take the key out which is what i want but for some reason all skoda has this problem.

    3. Fly In My Soup

      Fly In My Soup

      Yeah... As vr5fx said.... Ignition live feed only..... Can take it from anywhere that's 12v ignition only....

      Googled "wii controller battery pack usb charge" and sifted through the "image" tab for packs that had a USB port. Only saw three, one of which was in the UK (called "Hubb Direct Charge Battery Wii") but sold out, the other one in the US and sold out, and that one that's discontinued but still has three in stock according to the webpage.

    3. markymarky

      markymarky

      3/8 for the extension bar.

      The 1/4 is for the yellow handled screwdriver thing.

  19. have just changed my pollen filter in my car.

     

    here is the picture of the pollen filter:

    IMG-3681.jpg

     

    it weighed quite abit compare to the new filter, maybe because it was full of debris and whatnot.

     

    very awkward taking the filter out of the slot though.

     

    started the car up and it was much powerful and much colder too, very, very happy :) 

     

    cant believe how much difference a filter can make.

  22. hi guys,

     

    hope everyone is ok.

     

    i am getting sick and tired of having to take the battery out to fill up the power steering fluid, i just dont know where to look to see why i have to fill it all the time.

     

    can anyone help please?

     

    many thanks :)

      You probably have a leak on a pipe or the pump, what car is it?

      You've obviously got a leak, look under the reservoir for the pipes check and follow those pipes to the pump check all around the pump for oil leaking look for the pipework from the pump to the steering rack check for split or loose pipes, check around the rack for oil leaking, when you e found the oil clean it of with break cleaner then operate the steering left to right this should case the oil to leak from the damaged seal or pipe and able you to identify the fault.

      Hope that helps.

  23. @Guns can you remember the engine oil you mentioned to me? i cant seem to remember which one it is now, you sent me a link about a year ago. i know its got volkswagon on the bottle.

      This may well be the after life we are all in now, how would you know?

      A Return

      Its my opinion that if you are in the afterlife, you know you are in the afterlife. We are not in the afterlife. I dont even know what I would class 'the afterlife' as. The stuff that happened when my dad passed wasnt just witnessed by me, but others as well. There was an occasion that it was almost like I had words planted in my head, of where to find something. The item was something connected to my father and I had absolutly NO way of knowing where it was, but I found it in an instant when I needed it. If this all sounds abit messed up, it was, but you had to be there to understand, it wasnt a chance thing. Other things happened too. 

      Dont mess with ouija boards. My mum did when she was a kid, with her friend. She always told me not to mess with them buy wouldnt tell me why. It wasnt until recently she told me why, and beleive me, I wouldnt mess with a ouija board:excl:
