Yes, there are many dongle's out there, if you excuse the pun !!! I use the stand with my computer as it is in a cabinet hidden away, so connecting with the cable to the usb, I can put the stand out on top to pick up the best wireless signal 

I can wirelessly get normal internet, wife uses it to order her Tesco online. BBC I player, etc, etc all received with no problems. I even have one connected to the computer at our caravan, and that picks up the site WiFi perfectly

Not patronising at all, easy is fine for me!
I opened that link and just as I was reading it, they took me to an advertising page that wanted my name, rqank, number and inside leg measurement!
However, I think you are right, I need something to receive the Google things and I'll try opening it again - or try on Ebay!

Such a purchase would be an unnecessary indulgence though.

Mrs Opti already has the envious choice between a 15 year old Corsa and a 10 year old Signum.

FTFY

Probably no help to you Ron, but my Computer upstairs just has a cheap Belkin dongle plugged in the back, and that connects ok to my BT hub downstairs wirelessly.
Mine has a small stand, and you can either use the stand, or just plug it in directly.

This sort of thing.....  http://www.belkin.com/uk/support-product?pid=01t80000001qJZtAAM

Sorry if it sounds a bit patronising, but you said easy !!!

Now TB can stop moaning at me, I have left Windows XP behind (almost)!
I have been gifted an Acer AspireX1430 (any good?) and an HP V-M200 thingy with aerials coming out of it. Can I use this to set up an Internet connection wirelessly? The Sky router is downstairs and is connected by cable to this old PC, with the new Acer one in another room, It isn't practical at the moment to cable up the Acer, so Iwant to use it wirelessly. Can I do so with this kit, or do I need something else?
PLEASE keep it simple!

I believe the law of the time was Woodbine or Capstan full strength fags were required or the run would be considered null and void.

Yep. Filters are for girls and anything less stout than a woodbine might fold back on you over about 160 MPH. You could get some ash in your eye. That might be dangerous.

Thanks for all your comments. Herewith a better pic which shows how ugly it looks.
Jimmy, I've tried to measure the diags, but v.diff with a tape measure, however it certainly appears to be out.

Speaking of "not actually doing the work", how many researchers does Brewer have helping him find the cars, and Edd to have detailed dismantling guidance for his workshop efforts?

My only experience of this was with my 2 year old Seat Altea XL, used as a taxi. 135k miles on it with full Seat service history. When I threw it back I did the following to it...

1. Replaced drivers seat base foam. It had collapsed.
2. Removed and washed the rear seat covers. The interior was a medium grey which waterstained badly.
3. Replaced the undertrays. Fully loaded it used to catch the back end of them on speed humps.
4. Gave it a thorough wash and polish.
5. Replaced the binnacle cover. Had a notch cut into it for taxi wiring.

All the above cost about £120 and time.

The bloke who inspected it simply looked around it taking notes and took a few general pictures of the car. His only immediate concern was that the car was driving, taxed, MoT'd where applicable and that the tyres were legal.

Stone chips and the like are acceptable if comesurate with mileage. Any obvious damage or signs of neglect will cost you dearly and with a PCP, any excess mileage charges will see your bank balance battered.

If I may be so bold, look at the numbers for HP over a 4/5 years and hand it back at the halfway point. Check the small print and ask the question directly. But you should save most of the deposit/better interest/no mileage limitations...

What of the outstanding balance?

Can this be done if a purchaser has made 50% or more of the payments?
