I stopped recommending Demon Internet a while ago, because their tech support now comes from a piss poor condescending foreign call-centre. BT are pretty good for business broadband now though.

True. The charges should be more reasonable. Perhaps they should refund a good percentage, leaving in reasonable costs. I've always wondered what happens if, you have £28 in your account, then a direct-debit for £60 fails to go out, resulting in a £30 charge for the direct debit. Is then a further £30 charge applied for going £2 into the red?

Crikey. You really should not write cheques that you can't afford though, for example. I pay my credit card by Switch every month, since there's always a chance that I won't have paid myself any money in time to cover a direct debit. The last couple of times I have been a day late, and my card statement says "Late fee - £20", then the next line says "Automatic late fee reversal". Cool huh My bank charge me about £1 for every cheque that I write, £1 for every cheque that I bank, and £0.50 for every £100 cash that I withdraw. but I know this, so I don't know if it's fair to go after them for all this money back, is it? They have routinely credited me for £30 charges in the past, where a supplier has cashed a cheque, and the money has gone out of my account only a day before they have credited my account with cheques that I have paid in. So they've been good like that really, to a point. but ~£1,000 p/a in charges is really bad. How many of those charges relate to cheques being bounced on other people?

Everyone raves about Belkin's tech support call centre being good. I had a completely wasted time with them. He just couldn't understand my simple problem "the router is not doing outbound PPTP pass-through properly. I can't connect to a PPTP VPN every time." I gave up in the end and forwarded ports, so I could only make the connection from a single machine. Oh, and he never answered my other question. "Why are there no firmware updates for this model?"

How does this work? Do the turbos feed their air into the atmosphere, and so the engine runs mega-rich, causing the smoke?

I tell you what *doesn't* taste like shit - SK-Sports shakes. The owner has a Noble too (SK5 5 SKS ). He likes Supras as well

I couldn't believe the call I had with NTL/Virgin the other day. A broadband problem - customer moving house and it turned out they were still marked as 'mid-move - not enabled' on their system. The phone was answered in 1.5 rings by a *technical* person who knew his stuff, and had it up and running in no time. Wow. NTL support has always been useless hasn't it?

The heater control unit - is that the dashboard buttons & switches? If so I have a spare one for sale.

I just didn't want it rattling about or anything. Figured it'd be tidier if it was just gone out of the way. Have I picked up some bad advice? I did it at Malcolm's house and he was saying "are you *sure* it's safe to cut off?", I was like "yeah, apparently... so the other guys have said". Plus, it was bloody rotted to the cat. It wasn't going to unscrew easily. Ooops indeed

sssh. Don't say that now I was told to do so, and I have done. No going back now! oops. Is something bad going to happen?

My Nikon came with a fabulous manual. It explained the relationship between aperature and shutter speed, allowing varying depths of field, and lots of other things of course.

I cut mine off Seems fine.

That just looks like regular decat exhaust fumes on a cold day to me Are you fully decatted?

I don't think you're meant to put antifreeze into an intercooler. I'm sure you mean the radiator though. Good luck.

Not good Got any pics? You can have the door F.O.C if it's any use to you (i.e cheaper to repair than your existing damaged door)

~£34 from Toyota IIRC, probably a couple of quid less via Steve Manley, + postage costs of course.

lovely colour

Are you drawing power from the OEM headlight loom? Or directly from the battery (via a relay harness)? If the former, I would try the latter.

My stock UK car would look like it was on fire with all the steam coming off the bonnet in the rain. It was because I removed the fibreglass bonnet blanket thingy. Are there no downsides to turbo blankets? Surely they increase the temperature of the turbo dramatically?

I've seen far worse and the postage will be about £20, so that makes it £30. Good price I think considering they cost ~£1,100 from Toyota.

From previous interest, I'd say 30 - 40 would be ideal. There are no pressed edges or anything, and it needs to be about 2mm thick, so that it can be bent slightly and will retain its bend, if you see what I mean..

I only bought them for shooting things in the house - you know, just being annoying really. But so far I've been shot in the bare foot from less than a meter away by youngest lad (7yrs), and he's been shot in the head Hence the sale..

The second is a Umarex M92 Beretta with metal top-slide. It was bought for £90. I'll take £65.
