Any IT guys in here?

TBH - I never sold Symc products, so don't know them in much detail, so can't really answer questions as to how it does the blocking/points system (I do cybersec strategy & architecture - i.e. I tell clients they need an antispam solution, then hire someone to actually find & deploy the righ...

Any IT guys in here?

I used to work for symantec in their consulting division.By symantec, I presume you really mean BrightMail (the product they bought and integrated). It was really quite a nice solutions, and the cloud-nature of it means that you don't have the added cost of servers/power/etc.They used to have some g...

Snow Chains

Typical! I post it, and they arrive.Chains arrived today. They're 9mm, so aimed at light/occasional use; but also less chance to catch on low-clearance cars.What more to say, they came in a plastic case withe some cheap/nasty gloves (like the ones you get at petrol stations). Will replace them with ...

Snow Chains

Quick heads up for people looking for snow socks."Tex Chain" can be bought quite cheap... They are rebranded versions of the MultiGrip ones from Italy (£60 at hallfords - the manufacturer is the same (agripool) as is the manual downloadable from multigrip.it once you switch to english) The...

Snow Chains

Give me a month and I'll be posting pics of me stranded in the snow having realised that the chains I bought don't fit :p(quick tip - if ever totally stranded and you need to get over a small section, your inner carpets/mats work wonders ;) )M.

Snow Chains

Duncho - legally, only the wheels connected to the engine (ruote motrici) - so if you have the FWD, two are enough. If you have the 4x4 you need 4. (In Italy at least). Germany is worse; a German insurance company will assign blame to you following an accident if you don't have winter tyres on. Stud...

Snow Chains

Thanks - my local dealer (WLMG) was entirely useless. "We don't do them, nor can help you." So much for after sales service...Thule make a set of chains for the 2014+ Qashqai with 224/45/19 wheels ( http://www.snowchains.com/_uploads/_download/Thule-chain-guide-snowchains-dot-com.pdf ) !! ...

Snow Chains

I did - but tbh, they were about 3x what I expect to pay snow chains (£25-£30), don't appear to be legally approved and not "rugged" enough...I need chains to drive to the Alps - where chains are a legal requirement. The line under the belts description "They can be used instead of ch...

Snow Chains

I can usually find snow chains for around £25 a pair...Aldi, lidl, eurocarparts, gsf, etc all do them...but no-one seems to do a set of chains for my 225/45/19 tyres in that price range?Any ideas?

It's here!!!

It's the flame red - the only one I wouldn't have had to add £500 to my tax bill for :pand the mirrors have started folding themselves automatically now, so not sure what happened there, but I'm not complaining.M.
