  1. Once you have read the code you should be able to Google the problem and get an idea of potential cost. If you don't have a garage you trust I have found it's often helpful to be able to describe the symptoms and say "I think it may be the..." as this suggests you might know what you're talking about and so you're not someone they can take the mickey with. Last time I had to use my reader I estimated the cost at c £200 and it came in at £160.
  2. Anyone nearby got an OBD reader and/or app? You should be able to find out what the problem is using one. Then, if you're like me, spend ages searching to work out what "impaired function in the flange distribution system" means. You can get a cheapo one Primed to you if you have Prime and there are definitely free Android apps (so possibly iOS too). Edit: None of the answers above were there when I started typing!
  3. Sold! Will order it + "in The Beginning" for £3 when I get home. Also forgot it was 1/2 term last week and didn't contact you about laptops - will rectify tomorrow!
  4. Anyone got any thoughts on the HD remasters of B5? Down to £25 at Apple for the complete series, though it would probably cost as much again to pick up the ancillary bits and bobs and +£10 for Crusade.
  5. Can't you institute a wildcard block like *q=game+pluto* and/or *q=gamepluto*?
  6. Not had this, so clutching at straws, but... Similar problem, but with USB devices here: https://www.tenforums.com/drivers-hardware/73790-driver-driver-wudfrd-failed-load-device-root-wpd-0000-a.html#post2571286 may be worth trying that fix. The "windowshellofacesoftwaredriver" suggests something to do with the Hello face unlock capability. Do you use it? If not, can it be disabled? Re drivers, have you tried DDU to root out all traces of old GFX drivers? https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/ Have you allowed the monitor drivers to install (if they have such a thing)? May be worth installing them if not, or seeing what uninstalling or disabling them does if installed.
  7. https://poki.com/en/g/bumper-cars-soccer probably. Could they be going through one of those proxy sites?
  8. Charity single releasing March with a bunch of famous guitarists contributing.
  9. This little thing was on our garden path last night. No-one anywhere nearby has a pond - though we have had a couple of little frogs in the back garden for years.
  10. This would have made a bit more sense as a "Valentine's Day" than the two we got: "Madame Web" and "Bob Marley: One Love" which some exec must have seen the title to and thought "Hey! It's a romance!"
  11. Yeah the Magma case stayed at home if I had to use the train! IANAL but I see work as "work" rather than a public place and remember to take my multitool off if going anywhere before/after work.
  12. Used to use a C.k Magma CK MA2630 Magma Technicians Tool Case. This got relegated to being left in the boot and now sits by my desk at home, waiting for the day I actually have time to sort the garage. Recommended if you carry this amount around. These days I try to travel as light as possible and just have a leather satchel something like the below. If anyone has a reasonably priced one that has actually lasted more than a few months, pray tell. That carries a laptop (until I can get a decent Windows tablet) that rarely gets used, my lunch, whichever backup disk is being swapped out that day, a tobacco tin of assorted pills and a smaller container with a selection of small bits and bobs, the only ones that see a lot of use being a Wowstick electric screwdriver and USB C hub/card reader/RJ45 thing. Also have a multitool on my belt.
  13. Apparently not just an appearance from the OG "Unknown Stuntman", but also the song.
  14. That sent me on a search for the Kickstarter Thunderbirds episodes, which I've never been able to track down. Apparently they were on Britbox (had a look but couldn't find them) but they are definitely showing as available on ITVX.
  15. Expend4bles (Rental most places, we used a our penultimate free rental at Rakuten) After an op goes wrong, the gang have to try to save the world from WW3. This one sees Jason Statham take the lead (allegedly for good, though this may have been misdirection) and is a marked improvement on 3. Let down by some iffy greenscreen and FX, but fun if you like this sort of thing. Given the ending, I reckon we could get double the Stath in the next movie by merging two of his franchises in: Expendable5 vs M3g.
  16. Superbowl slot.

    What's up, @Arthur? Not a fan of Musical Thee-at-er?
  18. That looks more fun than I was expecting.

    I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow to the knee.
  20. Anyone without access to Disney who liked the sound of "Extraordinary" - the comedy about a rare super-powerless young woman in a world where everyone gets a power around their 18th should be able to find ion ITVX starting next week.
  21. I'll get in touch next week!
  22. Can you do those with 16GB RAM?
  23. Just finished Obliterated on Netflix. Trailer NSFW for ALL the reasons. After saving Las Vegas from a nuke, a special ops team parties hard... but have to get it together when they find out they "defused" a decoy. A fun watch. Maybe a couple of eps too long and a late reveal was guessable and, though one of the "But why?" questions about it gets answered, I'm not sure it all hangs together. The reveal was also a bit disappointing for other reasons but clever for the same reasons. It was strange to see Costa Ronin, who played the guy on the outside trying to get his criminal mastermind partner out in "Endgame" swapping to the locked up criminal mastermind role. Very sweary, quite violent, lots of drugs and a fair bit of nudity - surprisingly more male than female.
  24. Finally got to see this. Was better than I expected, but I went in with low expectations.
  25. NB NSFW REDBAND TRAILER (to give a better idea of the film) LOTS OF SWEARING and a bit of bare bottom Based on true events. In the 1920s, a small town is plagued by someone sending its inhabitants filthy letters.
