I've long believed the BBC is no more than an audio/visual version of the Guardian newspaper. Both are utter tripe that lost touch with reality years ago. As for their appalling coverage of the virus then surely they should be bought to task and disbanded forthwith.

A steel key safe or even a steel biscuit tin are completely effective ways to store you keys indoors. Unlike a hinged pouch, it won't wear out and start to leak radio waves. You can test the effectiveness of the chosen receptacle by putting your key in it and taking it up to the car. If it still unl...

I have over a thousand songs on my USB so I've arranged them in folders just to make life a bit easier. They are arranged by artist and then when the artist is selected it displays the albums by that artist!

Bad to the bone...

There's a track to get you into speed limit breaking behaviour if ever I heard one!

And speaking of things music, the XE's incessantly rattling doors and the inability of my supplying dealer to permanently fix them. King Tubby repeatedly and regularly ruined

I don't like the rear seat fold release knobs. They are difficult to see when you're loading the boot, and easy to knock out of their brackets as you try to stuff in that fat suitcase. My 1993 Cavalier V6 "second car" (which is still running well at 114,000 miles) has buttons inset into the top of ...

All I will get is a bit more oomph, then eventually when I get used to that I will want even more. :D This is called the human condition I think. My last fun car had a similar power to weight ratio to the project 8 and was violently accelerative when provoked. Rear wheel drive, short wheelbase, no ...

Apart from applying adjustments to fully programmable ECU modules, the only remapping I've had done was on a Skoda Fabia VRS diesel. It was a full bespoke remap with a nice flat plateaux of torque limited to 400Nm to preserve the dual mass flywheel and a linear throttle response to make the car more...

Thank you. This has definitely been a lesson for me. I will be making sure to get the Autowatch Ghost Immobiliser fitted to my next car. For those that don't know, it's essentially a pin code to drive based on a button combination (e.g. on steering wheel). It's universally £400 including install wh...

Hi. I remember Sparkrite I had several of their car alarms on my cars back in the day. They were in Birmingham and had a factory shop. They even did kits for the electronic hobyist. I was doing my electronic course at the time and purchased a Contactless Ignition System for my Triumph Dolomite in k...

I'm having a weird time being self employed and unable to work. For the first time in 20 years I find myself with time on my hands but unable to do much to occupy it. I've a list of DIY to do (DIY = Don't Involve Yourself in case anyone is suffering from acronym overload) but as shopping for DIY stu...
