Sorry mate, I completely forgot about that. :( ;) I forgot to ask the place, I should do really but I cant be bothered. ;) I cant see any problems ans Dave and I have had a mini meeting there before ;) :lol: Should be a good place, decent sized carpark and very easy to get to. Stuart

You cant say too much about the PS3. The X-Box-2 is also due in a few years, but wont be called X-Box-2 and is said to blow the top arcade machines away. There is no point talking about future consoles as you will never buy ones as you will be always be waiting for the latest. When you finally do dive in a buy a top of the range one, it will cost you over £300. Now is a good time to get one. It will be out dated in 2-3 years time, but both are quite cheap now and have a large amount of games. True the PS2 has more choice of games but are you really going to buy Colin McRae Rally 3 when 4 is out and 5 being developed? Are you going to buy GT2 or GT3 when GT4 is coming out soon? NO! Will you buy Fifa 2002 when Fifa World Cup will be out soon? No. So that take away 40% of all the PS2 games which are just sequals. Stuart

If you are in Liverpool, head towards Manchester on the A580. Its about 3.5 miles after where the M57 junction is on the A580. But as the East Lancs is a dual carrage way, people from Liverpool will have to double back. There is a break in the road about 200 yards after the pub. You can do a U-Turn there.

OMG! Its been going for 2 hours and only 60% done :eek:

Decided to have this meeting on the 29th of Feb. At the Royal Oak on the East Lancashire Road. For the people with Auto Route the Post Code is WA10 5QN. For the people who dont. Exit the M6 at Junction 23 and head down the A580 towards Liverpool. It about 7.3 miles down that road on your left. People put their name down of who is going to come. Doesnt matter whether you have a Z ready or not ;) Stuart

No any console can damage projectors. Its not just X-Box. Consoles are so presice in displaying colours that it can end up bruning the screen if that area of the screen stays the same for a long period of time. Pausing the game for a period of time will cause the most damage Stuart

You will find that now. People withe Playstations will stick with them.

It is possible. Detonation sounds like a loud rattle. Stuart

For car games is it dependent on how badly you want GT4. X-Box as good car games too, like Sega GT and the Gotham Project Racing 2. The Gotham racing 2 is said to be one of the best games of all times. I have never played it myself. Stuart

I would personally go with the X-Box. No matter how much PS2 people say, the X-Box has got better graphics and sounds. The fact you have a HDD to save your games saves money on buying memory cards and having to delete games to save more on. Its got a 8Gb HDD which is more than enough to save all your saved games on. I also hear the DVD playback is better on the X-Box too. I cant comment on that as I havent seen the PS2 DVD playback, but the reviews I saw almost all commented on that. Personally I think the X-Box is made for the adult and not children. You can tell this by the large game pad which is very comfortable to use. Stuart

Will this just defrag or will it check for errors such as crosslinked files?

Errr, detonation?

Does any one know of a good scan disc program? My discs need a little looking at I think. Its reporting I have over 500,000% slack, which cant be right. ;) I tried the windows one but it doesnt do a full scan dispite me telling it to. Stuart

There is a sound warning when the car reaches 70mph I think.

When going on holiday to Scotland I had the aircon on most of the way. Taking the T-Tops off for motorway driving for 320 miles is not as nice as it sounds.

Sorry guys its in Warrington, about 250 miles away ;)

Taking the roof off is not always the best option though. When it is really hot and you are stuck in traffic, taking the roof off makes things worse. ;) Sometimes when is it is really hot, the only way to cool down is to have the windows up, roof on and have the air con on. But it is what you are after what counts. I want my car to still be luxary and comforable. Stuart

Castrol 10-60 is a great oil as it give you a great range of grade. Use at least semi-synthetic oil and if you can get hold of 10-60 try some 10-40. Stuart

Add me to your messenger mate SRRAE at Hotmail.com

Why does Japan have shows like that and the closest we get is modded Saxos and Corsas. Stuart

Do you really need fuel deicer? I though fuel only froze at -20ºC or something.

How about standard. Especially on a Red car. The lights dont stand out as much but only when you turn them on.

Also check the ECU Water temperature sensor. If that is not working or connected properly, the car will really struggle to start and when it does you cant take the foot off the accelerator because it will stall. The idle is also very very rough and even though it is firing on all cylinders it doesnt feel like it is. The ECU temp sensor is the one in the front radiator pipe at the front of the car. The one with the yellow plug. That the plug off and give the contacts a good clean. Stuart

Sorry to hear of your situation mate. :( You say the sill is dented. The chassis is about 4-5 inches back from the outer sill, so unless it has bent all the way back there you could still be OK. I hope everything goes OK for you. Stuart

I cant see whey they are different
