Is it possible to back up Firefox passwords to an external drive?

I have managed to back up my bookmarks, but cannot seem to do the same for passwords.... Read more

Some internet security software packages do it themselves - when I reinstalled Firefox a few weeks ago (I uninstalled it completely after some issues and then reinstalled it from the downloaded latest .exe installation file), I didn't need to get all my passwords from my little notebook (an actual book).

Unless you reload the computer they will be on the HD just renamed as you never really uninstall a program, its just not possible for the OS to read it....

As above, Classic Mechanics does free ads so is a good place to start.

You could also list it on eBay. I sold my classic 2-stroke on eBay with no hassle, you've just got to be brutally honest in how you describe the condition. I would suggest something like "not been on road since 2002, so selling as a non-running restoration project."

I want to buy a trickle charger. From reviews, a CTEK charger, due to my stop start failing to come on. Jaguar service said the battery condition is not up to it's optimum state due to my low mileage use each month. It does sit on my drive for days sometimes. My question is that I have and not sure if the MXS 7 is the correct one for my car or the MXS 10. Any ideas on this please. Thanks, Terry. Read more

in 2011 we planned to go caravanning around the EU for a few times and other things so bought a 2008 citroen C5 diesel auto. It was perfect for the job. Towing it got around 20-25 mpg, free from the van 45-50 mpg. Lovely jubbly. We also tow a heavy trailer with wood maybe once/twice a month as well. But now its getting on a bit, only 80k miles tho and we have now sold the caravan, ( but still tow wood occasionally).

I like my Octavia 1.4TSI Combi and can't complain about the ride or any booming. Lots of people do, see the Briskoda forum especially. As we both have cars we like and find reliable, best to stay with them.

Amazed more people arent complaining about the regularity they need the system re-gassed; my Mitsubishi is 11 years old and still on the original gas - and it still works!!!

In fact it works a damned sight better than my step fathers similar aged Mercedes E220, which has supposedly been re-gassed twice. Read more

Agree. My wife and I run our A/C all the time in our vehicles. Not had any problems with any of them including a now, 11 year old Mazda. It still works in my Sisters 12 year old CRV.

I've no knowledge of Fords or Powershift but would respect advice of others.

On underlying question I'd prefer mileage with history. ...

On Saturday 6th we had a vehicle with a flat battery- so my wife fetched me a spare, recently charged battery in a wheel barrow. We connected it up and left it for 10 minutes. then I turned the ignition on and watched as all functions came up, turned off the radio, and after a wait of perhaps a minute, as I had asked my wife to fetch a 13mm spanner from the workshop, I turned the key.

Immediate explosion of battery in wheel barrow. a sharp crack like a detonator being initiated.... Read more

I've seen the top blown off a battery as it was taken off charge, removing the charger clips without turning the charger off.

Ive seen a battery explode after a full charge and connect to car, the starting caused the plates to bend and cause a spark which blew the side off the battery ...
