It's on a 3 position switch, so it should be Brake light and horn on a constant feed
1. Ignition and indicators
2. Ignition, indicators and running lights with high beam flasher for passing
3. Ignition, indicators and low beam on, high beam switch for night riding
Position 1 and 2 are fine, but 3 brings on high beam straight away and clicking the control to high beam on drops to just the running light.

I've got one3 litre manual estate, best family wagon I've been in but not exactly roomy for such a large car (BMW 5 series is more spacious). If you get one of the AWD versions then the centre transfer box is the weakest part (and $$$ to fix) and they love to rust along the inner sills so get underneath it and look for tinworm there. Besides that, standard services are cheap cos they use Ford bits, but odd little things can be eyewateringly expensive because Jaguar.
Also, poverty spec is good if you're bothered about changing the stereo. Better models use a fibre optic network that makes replacing the head unit impossible, and a bluetooth or aux cable costs up to 500 quid.

Late night car chat thread. Mainly for grrrmachine actually so everyone else feel free not to reply.So this evening my wife announced that we're going to get rid of my e90 and buy an SUV because my car is uncomfortable and it smells and the baby doesn't like it.
I don't know anything about SUVs but I reckon I can spend about 15 grand and I've been looking at second hand BMW X1 and X3s and Audi Q3 and Q5s. I don't want anything too massive and I liked the look of the X1 but the reviews seemed to think the 1st generation were a bit rubbish. I suppose our priorities are something that's comfortable for passengers so the baby isn't sick everywhere, decent boot space and fuel efficient, although ideally I'd still like to be able to burn people at the lights.
What do you reckon?

BMW SUVs are overpriced useless pieces of shit that are more cramped inside than the equivalent saloonThey were a rush job pumped out to satiate the idiotic middle class's new tastes for yank tanks, and only absolute spastics buy them, which is why you should get the X5.
The Audi options only make sense if you get the top of the range, biggest-engine versions. If you're not doing that, just buy the equivalent Volkswagen model and save yourself a few grand, since they're identical vehicles made from identical parts just with a different badge slapped on.
But in all honesty, you're never going to go offroad and you're never going to go highspeed and the child is going to destroy all resale value with its sticky little fingers anyway, so just buy a Nissan Qashquai like any sensible person would and spend your savings on yet another holiday you can bore us to death about.

The first one especially was a bit refreshing as it was a fairly well done, serious take on the franchise, Taking some of the "graphic novel" stories and doing them justice. And the acting weren't too bad. The second one was similarly well done. I think the third one is the weakest of the 3, but as batman is a ridiculous character and comic films generally have become sort of turgid block busters for children, that they stand up well as they don't pander and ponce about with love interests and comedic relief.

I watched a video about this, well, it was about Injustice 2 but it went on a tangent about the gritty adult realisations of comic book charactersAnd how it'll always be a bit of a "square peg round hole" situation as writers try to force what are essentially power fantasies and Aesops for kids into mature and adult themes and scenarios. One thing that's been lost and shows no sign of coming back any time soon is the campy style and generally upbeat feel of stuff like the Saturday morning cartoons or the classic Batman series

There are some good "gritty realisations" around though, But as you say, as a genre older superheroes are better suited on the whole to campy nonsense, but that is for kids, and it's adults buying movie tickets, so we get this weird middle ground, which is worse.
There is plenty of stand alone comic content that isn't a classic superhero that can be made in to good films, such as Scott pilgrim and so on. But currently nostalgia is cool so we're getting a lot of marvel, most of which is gash.

Not seen it,But would it have worked with a one off character? All the best films of the sort of comic genre seem to be good in spite of being a classic superhero rather than because of.
John Wick is a good example, loads of people I know assumed it was based off a graphic novel due to it being so stylised and having a seemingly deep universe with little need for introduction, but was just a very good action film.

I think, somehow, nobody expects there to be any really good action films any more.Not in the true 80s 'pure action' sense. The fact that the character just appeared on the screen with no backstory allowed the film to conjure its own mystique.

Right, I need someone to help meOne of my laptops no longer wants to connect to the WiFi. My work one, my old Asus, my phone and my iPad all connect fine. But this one fucking laptop has just decided to stop connecting.
It can find all nearby networks, it just won't connect.
I ethernetted it straight into the router, and that worked fine. Unplugged it, and nothing.
I've tried disabling/reenabling the wifi adapter, nothing. Tried rebooting the router and the laptop several times.
Sorry and thanks, in equal measure.

Have you updated or installed anything lately that might have affected it?Also (shamelessly stolen from a tech forum) - "just in case you can try going into Device Manager find the problematic wireless device via "Network Adapters" right click to properties then to the Power Management tab, uncheck the option to allow Windows to turn off this device. Restart the router when you check that."

alright mgt. what's your stance on this general election stuff then?I'm disappointed with how well the tories have done in scotland, yet have a strange sympathy for davidson 'cos she clearly did a good gob getting people who hate tories to vote tory, only for them to get in bed with people who want her burned at the stake and that must feel like a kick in the cunt.

yeah it was a funny result up here,i was about to go and put some numbers into a spreadsheet in order to understand it, the whole situation was quite bizarre tbh. I voted Labour in the end, because i got a nice letter from Nicola Sturgeon telling me to vote to get the tories out, and Labour seemed the strategic choice in the constituency of the only Labour MP in Scotland. Labour, meanwhile, were only sending out letters telling people to vote to get the SNP out. Which is what people did, i guess, everywhere Labour came 3rd last time round.
There has always been some conservative support in Scotland. Aversion to Indyref2 has given them a bit of a boost, but it think it's mostly down to strategic anti-SNP voting than genuine Tory support, which won't be entirely reliable next time round, but the problem still remains that the left-wing vote is now split between Labour and the SNP, which it really wasn't in 2015 when Labour were branded "Red Tories". I don't see an easy way out at this point, but at least, i don't expect it to get any worse, and there are a number of new Labour-Tory marginals in England now that nobody saw coming.
As for Ruth Davidson, she has denied any intent to create a break-away party, having argued against exactly that quite recently, but things are different now, she wasn't expecting the Tories to lose their majority and certainly wasn't predicting a coalition with the DUP. So we'll see how that turns out. I think she's probably just waiting it out right now to see if the problem goes away on its own somehow.

Of Ruth yeah, probably. I would never vote for her, obvs, but she's currently being treated badly by the hand that feeds her.I agree that the tory vote is more of a unionist vote than an actual tory vote, which is why i've got grudging reverence of Davidson, she's done well to paint it that way.
FWIW I voted SNP, and they won the seat, had I not moved about 2 miles north ~8 months ago, I'd be sat in a tory seat now, so I'm not sure what to take away from that.
If I still lived in England I'd have almost certainly voted Labour this time, having voted lib dem in the past. The Greens get props for standing down in some labour seats.

i've habitually voted Lib Dem in the past,voted SNP last time because "Red Tories Out!" but that's not a winner any more, because Corbyn Is The Absolute Boyyyy. There wouldn't be such a taste for independence if Westminster wasn't such a shower of cunts. That's why it's so disappointing to have Scottish labour making Ruth Davidson's case for her. She has done well to paint it that way, her and her bff Kezia Dugdale.

I agree entirely.Did you watch QT? It was fun watching Armando Ianucci enjoy himself. Made me long for the days of things like the friday night armistice.
That woman on the end who worked for the dm made me chuckle, she looked less human than alastair campbell, it was like watching Brian O'blivion appearing on televison on televsion in videodrome.
Reckon the BBC are starting to see the change in tide have decided they can stick the boot in?

going through the actual results now,interestingly, the conservatives went from 3rd to 1st in 6 out of their 12 new seats (and up from 2nd in the other 6).

Sun cancer is actually caused by the chemicals in sunscreen. The sun is actually beneficial, and can cure Sun cancer. This is one of the many reasons for chemtrails to obscure the sun. So don't put on that factor 50 if you have sun cancer, yeah?
