AnnoyingPentium

Cheers, Lee. Same here actually, mine had been scooting about the village, and a trip to the other village to get to the post office, so maybe about 15-20 miles all this week. Took a bit to get it going, so done about 30 miles in it today when I went shopping. It's not getting used the way it was since I'm off university until just after the New Year.

Honestly this seems to have done better in the crap weather than most 4x4s I've seen. Still soldiering on nicely.

/thread.

I may as well show off the Compaq that caused this thread to exist. It's a 2003 Compaq Evo N610c, I've topped the RAM out at 1GB and its running with a 30GB hard disk for now. This is my legacy software machine mostly, and a practical workspace that feels a lot nicer to use for word processing and web development. Plus, it has VCDS-Lite on it, but I've yet to use it with the car.

This sounds absolutely awesome.

Been offered a mint IBM Aptiva in a swap for some more modern parts I don't need. Watch this space.

@Titanium_Man - Haven't heard much from you in a bit. Hope all is well in your wee part of the world.

Sorry, but it's not for sale. Good luck finding one though.

Don't, you'll trigger Sep's 'Snake-Oil Senses' Jokes aside, I'm not much of a believer in Redex either, never found it to be of benefit for any of the fleet.

Would just like to recommend Pete for window motor repair needs. Got me back my electric windows and gives top-class service. A true asset to this forum.

Yes yes, I know. I'd have had to have been in that garden for the front end, mind you. Post has been edited.

I'm having to resist making the typical SDI jokes here. Does sound like it's overfuelling... a lot. Maybe get a code reader on it and see if anything is lurking before we play that 'lovely' game of parts darts.

Aye, it's quite okay all things considered! Corrosion is most likely as a result from age and the little "tap" to the rear. Here's the car from another angle as well.

Top man! Cheers.

Good luck, Gaz!

I'm still thinking the motor really, and it's not really a painful job. @Breezy_Pete is the man you should speak to about all that stuff. Got me out of a right pickle with my dead electric windows.

This absolute dinger of a Golf.

****! Missed 70k tonight.

Cheers Matt, you're some man.

This is good for me, in a way, if I fancy hoovering up some ULEZ exiled cars... a Favorit I know of may be coming up...

Ain't a vRS, but...

Tell me everything about this classic shell mod...

I had a Presario 2600 a wee bit back, big chunky thing. Three fans were there to cool what was a S478 Celeron 2400MHz CPU and an ATI 8000 series chip. Still was roasting itself to near death. I've got the N610c mainly for VCDS and the likes, and because why not?

I don't know if I will, but I'll let you know if I do!
