Thinking of a new tv when the sales come around Should I pick the LCD over the Plasma? And if so why? I am looking at a 37" LG LCD version

mmm, disappointed i have to say All the technology, but it cant support a gamepad - bizarre I might try a better game pad - apparently the Microsoft Sidewinder is recommended The control I bought didnt have any CD drivers Cant believe I will have to resort to the keyboard to work it - are you sure??? Is it not awkward? Wish I had kept my PS2

Hello to all, I have recently just bought a 'top o the range' desktop computer. I fancied trying out some games on it and bought F.E.A.R., which looked good and was recommended. But I needed a gamepad/joystick thingy, so I got one of them too. But, it doesnt work. I tried to configure the gamepad using the windows facility and through the game itself, but it doesnt work, meaning you have to use the keyboard to work the game. I dont think so - I thought the days of that were over since the ZX Spectrum. Have I missed the point somewhere? Dont all games afford the gamepad facility? WHY IS IT NOT WORKING!!!!! Annoyed...

How much?

Its been a while.... New job, taking up my time recently But I always pop in now and then

Continued offences also mean that DVLA can take you cherished no. plate off you - no matter how much you paid for it. Also, the officer can take the number plates off the car when he has stopped you, for evidence purposes - you will therefore be driving without plates, which is illegal, meaning you have to leave your car where it is until you get new plates made - is it worth it? The whole point in the number plate thing is so your car is recognisable on the road especially in the event of a road accident. Ask yourself this - a police officer attends at your door saying your wife/child has been knocked down in the road by a motorist, and killed. Unfortunately, witnesses could not read the number plate due to alterations being made and there is no trace of the accused. How would you feel? And who would you immediately blame for not cracking down on these 'minor offences'? Mmm?? I usually find that that sort of scenario explains things well enough.

I have an Omega, a classic....... Check out www.aatime.com or www.blitzwatches.co.uk for watches, generally 30% off normal prices.

Had a shot of the new PSP and was mighty impressed with the overall quality - might purchase Who's got one - what do you think?

:duh: Aaaargh!!!! So many products, so little time............. Sod it all, where did I leave that autoglym bottle...

Get the Klasse products from the Autopia site on the "Car Care" forum. The SG is exactly what is says it it - a protective coating that locks in the shine you have achieved with the All-In-One. The final coat or Carnauba wax gives the very deep finish, on a dark car it's like looking into a pool of water. Carnauba wax recommendation - Pinnacle Souveran. It's expensive but the best concours wax money can buy. ← Looks like I have to order it from the US - cant be arsed with that The sealant is bound to work on any surface

It is sealant glaze I think - its white in colour Why can you use it like a normal gloss treatment Where can I get the All-in-one and how much is it

I managed to get a shot of some of this stuff - it says for best results, you should use their cleaner stuff first I take it though, it could be used on top of any polish???

So, just disconnect the battery then reconnect and thats it?

Why would you want to do this? Whats the benefit?

Odd price - sounds like an Arnold Clark vehicle.....

I like debate...... Its a good point I hadnt considered. However I think the IS220d will be so good, it will be about 2-3 years before you get a value for money one. Plus you need to be around 60 before a diesel appeals....... I think the new IS will be 'drip-fed' into the market, so in the short term current values will be pretty constant Can someone tell me the last time that a new model affected the old model drastically - I looked up the VW Golf, which is usually a good indication, but the fall was hardly dramatic

No it won't - The 300 Sportcross is a stand alone vehicle - theres nothing else to compare it to - its like saying a the new BMW Tourer will affect the SportX prices - no it wont. The only saving you will make will be the natural depreciation month on month, which is about £125/month.

Read the post again - the IS250 is not a face lift model - it is a different type of car aimed at a different market. The rear light cluster that sparked a revolution in car modifying is a small part of the radical design of the IS200 - looking at it makes you feel good. It didn't come as spec'd up as a Lexus should - just enough to pass as one. The IS250 is a totally different car, designed to be pleasant to look at and be in. Lexus don't want people modifying their cars - that would imply they weren't perfect. ← Good points - I like them, and will use them more often in conversation. Whether they fall or not doesnt bother me, I've got my car for quite a few years. Some people think they are going to get some sort of bargain come November and they won't. Mark D sums it up - it is not a facelift version and it will appeal to a slightly different market. IMO

I have read a few threads about this common belief that values for the old IS will fall dramatically when the new IS comes out, if they havent already. When the new IS comes out, I bet you prices hardly differ - its an absolute myth. The new IS is totally different with the old version still a classic and in high demand. Prices in Scotland have hardly moved since the initial announcement of the new vehicle. Theres a car advertised identical to mine with higher miles, and its dearer than what I paid 9 months ago. And this was a lexus dealer in England. Prices remain high - the new IS will be limited in supply and will only appeal to a certain market, which I think will be slightly different to the current one. The trade tells me not to expect any significant drop in value come November. In fact the value for the IS range INCREASED by £25 on last month. So if you want an IS, just buy one now. Theres no such thing as a cheap Lexus.

Must be someones car from here..... its got the brake caliper logo

Did anyone from LOC recently sell their Granite Sky IS Sport to Lexus Edinburgh? It has red calipers and Lexus stickers on the calipers too. A friend of mine is interested in buying it from the dealer, so I thought I would do some background Anyone here??

Twice a week, but wash the alloys every couple of days

PM'd.....

Some Scottish advice, different laws, but the principles are the same. The woman must approach the police first and make a complaint of assault and other crimes, beit threats or otherwise. If she has witnesses all the better, but that should not put her off recording the complaint. The police will do the rest. Can I dispel this myth of 'pressing charges' - no-one presses charges aside from the prosecution service. Pressing charges is a 'The Bill' term and I hate it. Should there be no further evidence to report a case , i.e. the neighbour is denying the assault, then the recording of this incident, will help build a picture for any future instances, and help to bring a case for prosecution. If neighbour has any sense, he will take heed of any warning given and that will be that.

I think you will be ok - but remember - these laser guns pick you up over a mile away, so slowing up just before the van is way too late. If you see a van, jam on the brakes (where safe) as it confuses the radar and it cannot focus on your speed.
