Bored without car

Tis home and once more working beautifully. Thank you Ben, you're a true maestro. For the literal minded, not the car. Although they to were astonishing, in a somewhat different kind of way.
Had a little play with Vag (ner) Com tonight. This for me is a humbling experience. Sitting there in my car, lap top on my, er lap. Vag com up and running with seemingly endless possibilities and I have not got a clue how to do anything. So frustrating Grrrr

Glad to have got her back to you! Sorry I wasn't here, had to deliver the RS2 back. I would have done anything possible to get you on yer holiday in the S8 rather than a Scooo... I can't even type it!!! My internal spell chacker just won't allow it!!

Hope you don't mind but I have done the article about this as I am DISGUTED that RAC would have carried out such rediculous "diagnosis"!!!

I will be doing a little thing on how to make use of VAG com if you're interetsed, at my open day. If ANYONE is interested that is, I don't wanna be sat in a corner on me own playing with VAG com - I do that all day!

Hopefully get my lap top back today - it is killing me from a diagnosis point of view! Not good. All I was trying to do was download The Italian Job (original version ofcourse) for my iPhone and it caught some horrensous virus that's written it off!

unlikely to have 'written it off', may have just needed the magic touch of a geek or two.... just like most 8's would benefit from a touch of your magic!


I can usually recover most stuff from laptops/PCs as long as the disk actually spins up.

Have you thought of getting a basic netbook like an ASPIRE ONE? I have one and TBH its an ace piece of kit for 150 quid. it would also mean you can keep your personal 'downloads' seperate from teh business PC!

Yeah, I've got a man on it so to speak. Just got it back now but needed windows reload n all sorts of stuff so now re installing my diag stuff. All my own stuff now going on the PC!!!

One thing you may wish to consider is when you have it all freshly installed just as you like to take a disk image at that point. Then if you ever need to restore again (or as with windows getting slower as time goes on ) you can just splat the image back over and 20 mins later its fresh as a daisy with all programs etc ready to roll.

let me know if you want/need help with this.

Thank you very much - I shall be in touch! I need some kind of full back up - this reinstalling all software I use takes AGES!!!!

This thread made me laugh, it started of with Tonupkid talking about web browsers then we talked a little about fuel pumps and ended with laptop repair!
I'm searching for info re. Tonupkids new fuel pump. Is there more detailed info on another thread?
P.S Google Chrome kicks ass.
