    DVD Ripping

    Do you have enough disk space (If the software is ripping to an uncompressed AVI or MPEG first the amount of disk space required would be massive) Check the disk space at 9% complete. I've heard that ImToo is good at this kind of thing, have you tried using different software?

    Parting with my hard-earned cash

    A word of warning! A mate of mine had some serious problems with an A3 Diesel, went to two audi garages and he was told the flywheel needed changes (£1000 ish), and it's apparently a common fault. In the end, after he paid about £500 to have it done at a local garage he still had the same...

    help please

    I'm ashamed to say I use AOL (I know, It's partners fault she wanted to keep her stupid E-mail address and messenger). You can set up a VPN in Windows XP to avoid the need to install their software on your PC. AOL and my PC seemed to run a lot better like this. There are guide online if you...

    1999 Vectra, Steering wheel Sticking!!!!

    Hi CJ, Thanks for you post, I'll think I'll get the garage to sort it, might be easier, the lower rear bushs on the shock absorbers have worn on both sides as well! It's typical I had no problems while the car was under waranty, as soon as the warranty runs out loads of things start going...

    Speedtouch 330 -vs- Voyager 205

    I personally found that my connection was more reliable with a speedtouch 330 over a BT voyager 105 on AOL. Also the computer seemed more stable running on this. The Speedtouch modems are also compatable with Linux which the BT one arn't. If you can afford get a broadband router (I got one...

    1999 Vectra, Steering wheel Sticking!!!!

    Hi All, About a week ago while going round a mini roundabout with I heard an awesome BANG from just infront of the steering wheel when turning out of the corner (Indicator didn't turn itself off). I didn't really think anything of it but now when ever I turn I get clanking noises from just...

    Vectra 1999, handbrake sticking

    Simannjo, I agree with your statement but, I do not think that to name that garage was out of order. I told the garage that the handbrake was sticking on and that I wanted them to look into it. He immediatley told me that the problem was such and that this was what was going to be...

    Vauxhall Corsa using too much petrol

    Hi Johnwr, Yes I had the 1.4K series Engine, glad to know I wasn't being sold porkies back then. My partner fancies a Rover 200 to replace her car, I'll make sure to steer clear of the 1.4, do you know if the 1.6 / 1.1 engines suffered from this, or other ridiculus issues. Darren

    memory speed

    IF BY AVAILABLE MEMORY YOUR LOOKING ON TASK MANAGER THEN THAT SOUNDS ABOUT RIGHT, AVAILABLE MEMORY IS "FREE" MEMORY, PROGRAMS AND WINDOWS WILL BE USING THE 385Mb (you must have loads of programes backgrounding if you checked this after start up).

    Vauxhall Corsa using too much petrol

    My old rover had similar symptoms, when I tool the spart plug out, after the car was left a while one of the cylinders was full of oil and coolant (I had to top up coolant every 200 miles, and oil every 500miles). When I took it to a garage for further investigation I was warned that it could...

    email accounts

    I agree with Breezer, There are loads of free E-mail providers on the web. Lycos do a good one, you get a 300 Mb inbox and can send upto 15Mb. You can acess your E-mails from home using outlook / outlook express, and from anywhere over the web. I use this rather than my ISP adress as it...

    dealer problem..

    The risk of buying a second hand car! Main dealers are possibly worse than local garages for buying from, espcially as the cost is so much more. Do you have any idea what is causing a squeak, it sounds a bit suprising to me that a slightly knocked bumper could cause an audiable squeak whilst...

    Congestion Charging

    I heard on the radio that shortly all major routes my have congestion charges applied. One of which will be the M60 around manchester. What I don't get, is if congestion is so bad then why arn't the roadworks that are taking place on these routes 24hour. I pass some junction improvement work...
