Bonnet handle help
Had same thing with mine, thought the mechanism was broken till kev walked out the workshop with a bottle of wd40 and a screw driver haha. Best way way kinda like above. Need's two of you though. Soak the mechanism in WD40. Second person pull the cable inside so it pops up (may need to wiggle it a bit with the screw driver to free the mechanism). Give it more wd40 and push the latch down with a screw driver. pull the cable to release again Give it more WD40 and push the lactch down with screw driver do it a load of times and should give it a nice good clean out.

welcome. sorry to hear your problems. and time for the bad news. budget minimum 3k for the rebuild. will need a full strip down and crank bearing replacement plus what ever else has been damaged. You need to get it to a specialist who can sort it properly. If it's not done right it will fail again and again and again. If the garage you bought it from wont agree to pay the full cos of the engine build including crank bearings (based on being several thousand) then reject the car can get your money back, don't risk it cos you'll end out of pocket with a knackered car.

What have you done on your games today?
not played deus ex for a fe days now, bit to dispaointed with it at the min. Reinstalled farcry 2, which i think was one of the first true open world shooters? also been playing armoured warfare and a few rounds of world of tanks. but the latter is possibly at the uninstall stage. Compared to AW its pretty poor, full of abusive children and getting one shotted in 3/4 of the rounds now.

freelander 2
So my daily volvo is starting to get a bit long in the tooth (167k and counting) and thinking about replacing it. I was pondering on a freelander 2. Anyone had one, any experiences? typical one im looking at http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201606104797767?search-target=usedcars&make=land_rover&model=freelander_2&maximum-mileage=up_to_80000_miles&postcode=np131lf&sort=default&page=2&radius=1500&searchcontext=default&onesearchad=new%2Cnearlynew%2Cused&logcode=p&adPos=7

Front mount
On the standard td04 turbo don't bother. will be laggy. anything over 300 will see improvements by going front mount, There's a bit of a misconception that you can run x power on x intercooler (tmic, fmic etc), its mroe a case of use. Andy forrest ran mid 8's on a top mount which is prob 800bhp, but no way a car doing more than 1/4 mile would do it on a tmic and that power.

Deus Ex, mankind divided review
daft thing is if it was released yesterday if it was a major fix would take them a few days, not a few hours, so must be pretty simple stuff

Deus Ex, mankind divided review
One i wrote on steam, So, where to start. First off I loved the revamp of Deus ex (HR), I've played through it several times now and don't get bored (that's saying alot for me). So when I saw the initial announcement of mankind divided I couldn't wait. Bought it and waited the gruelling 2 hours for it to download (22.7gb download) and excitedly fired it up. It first arrives at a loading screen where you can go into settings and various other options before you go into the game (same as fallout 4). Dropped into the settings and cranked it to max, (I’m running i7 4790k, 16gb ram, evga gtx 980 and runs every other game cranked up) and clicked the launch game. And straight away I noticed something didn't look right. Frame rate at the intro adverts was running around 30fps. I wondered if they had just limited it since it wasn't doing much so got to the main menu and started a new game. First sight of the graphics it looked pretty good, then as I started to move I got major stuttering, lag and the fps had dropped to 11's and 12's. wtf?????? my first thought was has my computer got a memory leak (occasionally does) closed the game down and no leak. I rebooted just in case and started again only to be met with the same thing. After cutting down various settings to medium I tried again, 15's and 16's fps. The game was still pretty unplayable. At this point I went hunting and sure enough found various reports of poor frame rates. I finally came across a thread saying turn off MSAA or as low as possible. So dropped back into the settings, cranked everything to max and turned MSAA right down. Went back into the game and fps was up to high 20's except when first going into an area. So still not great but playable. Graphically it doesn't look that good with MSAA turned off so pretty disappointed on that front. I've also noticed several instances where players walk through each other in cut scenes, watch one conversation with half the screen obscured by a floating toupee and eye ball (obviously camera inside someone’s head). The gameplay is pretty much as the first one so pretty good, the controls feel a little funky when trying to aim compared to the first one, so something has been done there that didn't need to be. (From what I read sounds like they have acceleration turned on which is affecting it) You do get used to it though. Skills are pretty much as the first with some added new ones (not going to give any spoilers on that one ;) ) story line so far seems pretty good, some characters from the first one make a return and some are mentioned but I’ve not seen them as of yet. Overall it has to be said I’m pretty disappointed. They could have taken the previous game play, revamped the graphics, new story and it would have made a great game, but sadly the developers have tried to do too much to fix what wasn't broken. Add in the clunky feel to the play and then the poor graphics performance and it gives it a very unfinished edge to the game. At the current price I can't recommend the game until they have fixed some of the issues it has. Only way to describe it is a good game that is let down because its unfinished. Currently i'd give it a rating of 55% throttle. If they sort out the issues it would be alot higher
