How do i get to be self employed?! + is it worth it??
You sure about that, I thought that changed this year and you now have to get a minimum of 24 ... although that can include bank hols. http://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/holidays/index.html

Fuel prices
The price of crude is going up day by day ...

Air Con Draining Pipe
That water should only be condensation and only if the a/c is running. If it is anything else (other than rain getting through somewhere) then you probably have a leak from the cooling system !

Anyone use Barclays Online Banking?
That's standard 2-factor authentication (something you know and something you have). Although, I doubt whether you actually need one of their laptops to login, it's just a case of setting it up correctly.

WEP is not secure, this is a different thing entirely.

Starting problem?
If the connectors have gone green and crusty I recommend using alloy wheel cleaner (like Wonder Wheels) to clean them up - works a treat. If however the PTU has failed internally, then it's time to get a replacement as mentioned above.

Hamilton 'may be negative for F1'
He lost because McClaren made a few mistakes. They should pay Ross Brawn whatever it takes to be their Race Tactician. It certainly wouldn't be as much as their $100M fine !
-
How Much !!!!!!!!
It must be monthly not weekly - he's a salaried guy !

Or bad connection on the injector.

Horrible indicator stalk!
My 330d has got a stupid headlight stalk, you pull it back from main beam to dipped and it moves with such spring that it goes right through dipped and onto the main beam flash - makes you very popular with oncoming drivers !

Adjustable cam pulleys
Sounds dubious to me. And the easiest was to get rid of the vtc is to disconnect the solenoid.

Hamilton 'may be negative for F1'
Ferrari won the first race of this season in a car equipped with technology that wasn't permitted in the rule book. However, they were told not to use it again and allowed to keep the win. A couple of years back when TC was not permitted, Ferrari had such a sophisticated engine management system the FIA couldn't actually prove that the car was equipped with TC (although you could hear it operating). They decided that it was a disadvantage for everyone else (ie the teams who adhered to the rules), and so TC was permitted the following year. Ferrari (Schumacher) won the championship that year of course. I'm not saying it was because of that, the guy was a superhuman robot and Ross Brawn is an awesome Race Tactician, but it can't have hindered them at all.

OK, then this is known as a 'one-time password'. In other words, should your password be eavesdropped in transit to the bank, then whoever gets hold of it cannot use it again. There are two residual risks, firstly that the algorhyhim that is used to generate the PIN is reverse engineered (like with the wartime Enigma machines) and secondly that the crooks/hackers find a way to access the banks website bypassing the PIN authentication althogether, in which case you're back to square one.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/formula_one/7070564.stm I guess that's because he doesn't drive for for Ferrari - the only team who are 'allowed' to cheat by the FIA.

Winter Driving?
Agreed. New Toyo's are not as good as nearly bald Bridgetones in the wet.

Power Steering Fluids
If it's leaking then it's probably because one of the pipes has split, it's a common problem. Correct spec for the fluid is in the online manual as I can't remember what it is right now.

Is it a card reader or a PIN generator ?

As with most Apple products, a triumph of form over function.

You can undo the balance far and fold it back with all the cables and tubes attached. Then you can get to the coil pack. Removing an injector will mean removing the plenum - a decent days work to remove and replace I'd have thought.

Hamilton moving to Switzerland.
Another bunch of them (like Coulthard) like in Monaco, tax reasons again ....

ICE amp in-fuse amp too low?
Good info, more a practical than a scientific reason, but totally valid.
-
ICE amp in-fuse amp too low?
Can't think of any real scientific reason for that, the fuse will blow wherever it is assuming the rating is right. Should be about 50% of the wire rating and about 25-50% above what the amp needs.
