    Do we have a Physiotherapist in the North West amongst our club members ??

    Can't help with one in your area but if you find one, you can check they (and some other professions) are registered on the following HCPC website: Check the Register and find a registered health and care professional

    Rolling backwards in Drive (Auto box)

    Bling Porsche

    I wonder where Porsche got the inspiration for the DRLs from.

    Coincidence or something I’ve done - electrics playing up

    I may be wrong here but your battery appears to have a date code of week 47 of 2009 stamped on the negative terminal. Not a bad innings if so.

    Do I need to update my Windows 10?

    Not having much malware can also be down to what you browse and what you use the machine for. Windows has evolved and become a lot more secure as the years have gone by too. It's actually quite difficult to hack an up-to-date Windows installation these days. This is why those wishing to scam...

    Do I need to update my Windows 10?

    Yes, 22H2 is available on both Windows 10 and Windows 11. I use Avira free edition. You don't really need the rest of what you pay for unless you need other features. I wouldn't rely on Windows Defender, it notoriously lets through a lot (about a 5th of malware typically). I've seen many...

    Do I need to update my Windows 10?

    Support by MS for 21H1 drops next month, which means no more security patches, so your machine will become less and less secure over time as it gets more and more out of date. You need to update it now and ideally to 22H2... By updating, you will inherently improve the security because you...

    What is wrong with this picture?

    They changed it from VOSA to DVSA a few years ago now so you should have been contacting the DVSA...?

    Only thing I can spot is: the earliest you can present your vehicle for a test is or the earliest you can present your vehicle for testing is Although it's accurate if you are from Yorkshire. :D

    My "shambles at MB Leicester" story.....

    How surprising that they were happy to replace both when the customer is paying but not when it's their mistake.

    Gruesome nature

    Reminds me of the time I arrived home once and getting out of my car I heard a dreadful screeching noise. As I approached the area it was coming from, I saw a Crow (possible Magpie but can't remember now as 20 years ago) attacking something like a Sparrow by flying at it and pecking at it...

    RIP Robbie Coltrane

    Yeah, just read that... very sad. Thought he was great in Blackadder as Dr Johnson and in the Christmas special.
