    The s**t motors thread.

    What is the ****iest motor you have owned? For me it was a Renault 19 1.7. In my one year of ownership I went through three clutch cables and a cam belt. The worst thing was I bought it from my dad who must have seen me coming. I would have gone for the Austin Allegro 1.3 that let me down so...

    Sky Upgrade Help

    I currently have a very old Sky box. I have been toying with the idea of upgrading to either Sky + or Sky HD. The problem I have is that I have a non standard installation.
