  1. not rc related but still to do with a car πŸ˜„ awesome bit of kit! tyre pressure and jump start all in one πŸ™‚
  2. normally i would go on ebay and see what the prices are for your kind of savage then just go from there.
  3. ok guys i know its bit late now but wondered which pension provider you all use? my company is using peoples pension. i am trying to get one with good return.Β

      If it's a work place pension then I think your employer picks the provider however you should be able to pick the funds that they invest into. I'd suggest a work place due to the tax benefits and the fact your employer has to make a legal contribution. You can also merge multiple work places pensions if you change job as well. My favourite I've been with is Aviva mainly because they have a nice app 🀣

      awesome! cheers mate, just trying t sort my pension out before its too late.Β

      i have always been slow on sorting things out, so far i only have 1500 in my oension and compare to other people i have asked at work, they all have at least 40k, when asked how they got hat much, they simply said they have been putting their spare cash into it manually.

  4. i have only upgraded mine 2 years ago but i really wouldnt mind doing another build, maybe AMD?
  5. that is a very nice set up although its an amd, i prefer intel. but still that set up is going to handle anything you throw at it πŸ™‚
  6. brilliant advise alex, many thanks πŸ™‚ got alot to learn about this investing thingys πŸ˜„ i will look into an isa allowance as that sounds better than a savings account.
  7. all i can think is get a better percent on a savings account, i have found one at 8 percent which is nationwide bank.
  8. cheers guys will have to see what my best option would be.
  9. apologies for hijacking but i wanted to know the best way to get good returns too so few months ago i opened up a chase savings account which i got the recoomendation from @Alex97 the percenatages for the that is 4.1 a month. i dont get much money but if i can put around 150 a month in then would that be a god return? or would i need to put more in?
  10. hey guys, how do you fix a yale lock that wont catch?

    1. Nitroholic

      Nitroholic

      probably need t o replace the lock barrel. But check first the latch isn't just sticking

      found out that the door was slightly lowered so put the latch/keeper down abit to compensate.Β

      nvme, yes it is faster. If your mobo supports it right now id upgrade, if youd need a new mobo i wouldnt bother

      check the motherboard manual as well, i lose 2 sata ports using a nvme drive on my board.

    4. froggy8

      froggy8

      yeah my mobo supports it, i want to try out gen 4 nvme, just very curious on the performance.

  12. i am not getting a pricey one, i will be getting the 936d which is around 40 new, i think that is a good price for a station πŸ™‚ thank you for the tips (pun not intended) keep your ideas/suggestions coming as i know i will need all the help i can get. cheers again mate
  13. oh forgot to mention, when you recommended the pricey solder station ( hakka) i would say no as that is nearly 200 squid, as nice as it is, i cant pay that much.
  14. πŸ˜„ that is me all over, i like to ask loads of questions. if you dont ask then you wont know πŸ˜„
  15. apologies mate, completely missed that station link, yeah i think il get that one πŸ™‚ that is very similar to the one i sold on here few years back. nice one bud πŸ™‚ i think i am sorted for now but be warned everybody, i will most certainly be asking for more help when i hit a brick wall πŸ˜„ , i tend to do that alot πŸ˜„
  16. many thanks guys πŸ™‚ i only chose a station as it seems better for a beginner such as myself. i am really determine to master this art πŸ˜„ at this moment i dont think i will be soldering anything rc, i dont have any and not sure if i will be getting any. all i am thinking about is soldering motherboards, i know it will be harder as everything on a mobo is tiny but i am guessing once i can solder mobos then i am sure il be able solder anything rc. i can get all the rest of the bits i need such as specail wool, mats and solders, i can take the link what @m4inbrain and @Lone-wolf put up. i am just struggling to find a decent station though. there are so many out there 😞
  17. so if i get solder with flux in it then i dont need to get any flux?
  18. nice one! solder is sorted πŸ™‚ il be getting the special brass wool and solder mat but just need a decent solder station now.
  19. i really dont think the solder i used has any flux in it.
  20. ok guys i thought i would continue in a new thread πŸ™‚ pictures from what i did last night, i think it took me over an hour to solder 2 wires to the motherboard πŸ˜„ @JonnyUK this is the closest i could find that is similar to what ive got: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/335112664458?hash=item4e0645758a:g:V24AAOSwmbtlXaWb&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4Je%2FOoANPG42RGCe8WMmHaIAmSyJpwfQ2Mi3%2Fd3QbQ0yr1bMlVABlR1OtFaq%2BnM08KvnUXn0z%2F172VNpmYjQQsMp8kcD4qHU%2FklU2cWBUSIOYCHW9a99CHlCBBymjIXxMVSKU2tA%2BHuGuORjuyZAD%2FpUAuv3MGom6mQ%2F%2F4HXDPmJGlGF71tntmo4EmdUquvd3lEnSm21DWn8slo%2Ffpv4s2ZVvCnXAEP40XXdyNP%2F%2BXnfY4ZzgRvaGVNhDO4ES%2FJao%2FpfEEEcEXayFe7hbf3ze67mmVqVen3FMwXfQLQmapso|tkp%3ABk9SR9SxlOCCYw ok guys, i really could do with a decent soldering iron or station, i am leaning more towards a station as obviously that can do more and it could help me more too so could anyone recommend me one please? many thanks again guys πŸ™‚
  21. ok guys, the time has finally come. i really want to learn how to solder and i will be getting this:

      Your joints are dry meaning that the solder didn't heat up and flow. A good iron and solder makes life much easier, solder normally had flux in it which helps with this however you can buy flux paste and apply it. I'd order some 12awg cable and some cheap bullet connectors and just practice. PCB soldering isn't easy and until you can get the solder flowing on larger parts you'll struggle with the small stuff.Β

  22. anyone know if its possible to trasnfer save games from old profile to new profile? its for xbox 360.

    1. Alex97

      Alex97

      You can buy an adapter that lets you swap your data over between consoles. When I went from my 360 elite to a 360 slim I used the below - https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=s360datans&sku=s360datans

      If it's between profiles on the same console then try -

      hope that helpsΒ
