    Windows 8-8.1 upgrade

    Not quite sure how Windows does it but as Thunderbird is a Mozilla creation I'd imagine there'd be a .(dot) Thunderbird folder in "Program files" ? (Show all files) In Linux it's easy peasy, Just go to Home folder.. Press ctrl + H to show all hidden files and open the .Thunderbird folder...

    Comline brake dics

    Because there's no need for it to be tighter as the wheel holds it on. It you do it up tight it can "rust seize" and you wont ever get it off easily again.

    dodgy garage advice

    You didn't end up with my daughters old Nissan Primastar (Reg S555 mgs) did you ? She had exactly the same problem. She got it fixed and it happened again. Took it back to the garage and they said the same thing as yours did. They did some kind of repair and then she got shot of it !

    Lights and MOTs

    You can buy 3 colour packs of lens tape. I punched a hole in my red light and patched it up with that stuff. My car passed every year at the toughest MOT centre in Peterborough. Strangely enough though when an object fell off a passing vehicle and knocked off the outer curved front...

    windows 8 wifi connection problems

    I clearly stated that I don't use windows. I'm a Linux aficionado. I'd [code:1]sudo reboot or halt[/code:1] My brother told me that Win 8 only sleeps/hibernates when switching off. To do an actual hard reboot needs some digging to find, hence my question ! I guess I'd better...

    windows 8 wifi connection problems

    I'm not a Windows user but I'm sure your little "How-To" will help several people so have a "Thanks" from me. According to my elder Brother it takes some digging to find out how to do an actual "Hard-Reboot" so perhaps you can amend your "How-To" with that little tid bit ? Regards Paul

    sound from back wheel on my car

    If it needs new pads (and it's been squealing) then most of that cost will be for new rotors (discs) as the pads will have been worn down to the metal (that's what the chafing noise was) and will have scored the discs. 2007 to now sounds about right for new rotors anyway (My car is a 2007 and...
