Re: we have a problem
Conspiracy theories do make me wonder something. What's going to happen when conspiracy theorists finally realise they are actually part of a giant conspiracy to spread conspiracy theories?

Hello again
Hope that it's OK to say this here.
Been a member of the OC and the messageboard for many years, but kind of lost touch. Was a very active contributor maybe 20 years ago.
Still have my 1953 2 door that still needs restoration.

Hi. A few comments. While I wouldn't advocate just turning off your firewall, you should be aware that because you are running a router, you have a firewall in it anyway. It depends how this is configured as to what it is doing. Routers run a thing called NAT (Network address Translation) which soyu...

I was offered the car by a drinking firend who knew I was after a car. The car had been his dad's but his dad had loaned it to someone else. When my friends dad died, the car went to my friend, who's son wanted to customise it. Understandably, my friend wasn't keen on this and offered it to me for w...

There's no doubt that LEDs are legal on cars designed with them. There are a number around now with LED tail lamps, some with LED turn signals too: Golf plus, Passatt, Phaeton, Bentley Continental, Bentley azure, are the ones I'm familar with. As for how many it takes, well it depends on the power a...

Apparently they've been trying to trace via paypal but tracks have been covered well. The police are involved, but I've not looked back in to see progress.

- Replies: 4

The fuse is mainly to protect the wiring. Make sure you put it as close to the point you tap into the feed as possible, and make the feed up to the point where the fuse is as thick as the wire you are joining to (so the existing fuse protects that bit). The clock itself will take a tiny current, oth...

Alex is right. The wireless modem you have is the same as (or very similar) to the one I have, and was easy to set up. You will have two cables in the box, one which plugs into the BT socket and another that looks similar but bigger. This plugs into one of the four sockets on the back (it doesn't ma...

Well can I add an on topic comment, now it's off topic?? I wouldn't run without an air cleaner at all. Did this for just one day with a Honda moped and wore the bore / rings out. I guess the air intake might have been picking up road spray with dirt in it, but I would never take the risk again! Just...

The dark side
Well, I've been and gone and done it. Gone to the dark side. No, Mog is still with me, but I've been and got a Rover 75 for my Birthday. And what's worse, it's a 'modern' one. Now I wouldn't mention it, but it's surprised me how much of a following modern Rovers have. It's almost got to the stage wh...

Warning: potential scam.
Heard about this on another forum. No sign of it here, and I couldn't find any thread, but it's best to be safe. It could be a hoax, but it seems like some people on other car related forums lost a lot of money. Bottom line is, a new user joins and after a short time has a garage clearout. Stuff is ...

yes in germany that use the same colour code and the blue is live Not in the workshop I'm sat in. I've just been and looked at the distribution board, and blue is neutral, with the lives being black or brown and earth being green/yellow. That would sort of tie in with the european standard for flex...

And a point regarding the cable. Mains cable is fine for the job, so long as it's thick enough. The main (sorry about the pun) difference is in the insulation to withstand 240v needs to be thicker than for 12v. Current carrying capacity is the same, but voltage drops will be more significant. One 21...
