Quick questions. On cars with the main lighting controlled automatically - how is the rear foglight switched on when needed? Automatically or does it have its own switch and have to be enabled manually? If manual, is it reset automatically or will it subsequently illuminate whenever the dipped...

A pretty old set up - lap top on W8 or 8.1 and Windows Live Mail 2012. What happened was it stopped sending e-mails (denied service) on Friday as mailbox full. Trying to send creates: 'Error 554' '554.5.2.2 Mailbox full'. Followed the instruction to clear mailbox (from 96GB to 15GB) but still...

Just sniffing out some ideas here on what is currently an obscure problem. Working on the front wheel bearings required caliper removal. While I was there I squeezed the piston in and back out again with the pedal a couple of times each side (taking steps to ensure no piston popped out). Left...
