All going to depend on who has put that fibre into your area.
Put your postcode into the find broadband deal at thinkbroadband.com for starters, and post the list it supplies here.

There are some other handy tools on that site too.

That will give us some better info.

Can also look at :
https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL/AddressHome
https://www.openreach.com/broadband-for-homes
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/exchanges/find

All of which will add to the picture

If you want me to advise as well as I can, Pm your postcode and Ill list everything I can find about it.

Yes, liked the look of the Autel stuff, but had to spend a lot more to get the adaptation changes I needed, other one was icarsoft, but they are well marketed, but poorer performing as far as i can tell

General Car Chat / New diagnostic computer

« on: 29 July 2025, 07:37:56 »

After spending best part of £100 to have an adapation reset done following an airleak, its time to upgrade from my dodgy 2015 autocom clone.

Looking for hassle free multi car bi directional diags / activation, to suit my current fleet, and any changes in the next few years.

Think Ive settled on this one - Topdan artidiag pro : https://eu.topdon.com/en-ie/products/artidiag-pro
Can get it at £375 on Amazon.

Anyone got one or similar, or have anything useful to add?

Ran out of go!  Gear changes weird, and no go over 50.

Found an intercooler hose disintegrating, going up like a baloon and hissing. 

New one ordered along with service items

Get some replacement nipples, and then use any tool at your disposal to get the old one out.  Nipple thread lengths and pitch vary, so you might have to cross ref with the GM part number.

I had that in my mind, and then the old ones snapping as i get em out.....

Maybe once, my smallest was an 8, and didnt touch the sides

All sorted. New clip fitted. Clutch bled. All good.

Annoyingly couldn’t bleed the brakes as didn’t have anything that fitted the nipples.

Had another look, pipe does fit back, but doesnt lock in place, think my retaining clip may be damaged / part missing, certainly doesnt hold

General Car Chat / Corsa C Clutch Help

« on: 01 May 2025, 07:31:29 »

The youngest broke down yesterday, just round the corner helpfully, I was working away less helpfully.

He rang home, by the time the other 2 walked down to him an Ex-Recovery bloke on a motorbike had stopped to help him, diagnosed snapped clutch cable without looking at anything, he started it for him and drove him home with no clutch.  Some nice people out there!

Ive had a very brief look, and could see no signs of any cable, but the car was sat in brake / clutch fluid and I saw this pipe disconnected, looks like some sort of quick connect like a hosepipe fitting.  As you can see, looks a bit grotty, so initially reluctant to just push it back in, and guess it needs replacing.  Anyone aware of anything other than age that would cause that to just pop out, or should I be good to find the other end, disconnect and replace it, any advice, bleeding procedures greatfully received!

Or could / should I be looking at something like this? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/388180179042?_skw=clucth+cyliner+pipe+connector+corsa&itmmeta=01JT58KE3X1M3FRC8HS747H6VG&hash=item5a61577862:g:kn4AAOSwOK5n638F&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAABAFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1dhnpS93anDJyyDXWGN8%2FT%2FXAe1gqo2FcUhN3dnu%2B79843QrDLcoACyRNbq2tRnoTHfwr%2FkU8gfuJ6hnG3sz3JXS9RGi2sxFYT22vqeuHRQy4nhcjpFu0RwPwzIMN8XYfsXUakvvRHtefBPWwqV3cBIyKKaniAjxy7RnKTNt7Eb32I70mA%2BGaD0GnfLtAoFXh%2Bm3%2BCORL9YuILInX05%2BJJh0ooGzDCoxMMv0tsMrVvsEJOG2l85q3eGaE%2B8uAnyO8ztkij1X0Bw6xh6IXBUcGBKsz%2Fmnhb7w1BKZUXHuxFiCiMEnOSLOLiGQCHyyTwWXJg%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR47izajRZQ
