damn! That was my next mod

Looks really nice mate

A bit more expensive solution, but stops them driving it away

Congratulations

sorry but not for me. I am wondering how they would look in white though?

Looks

Spa should be good

Going to Silverstone this year

Camping there for the weekend with some mates. Not been to one before so really looking forward to it.

Mine was doing the same thing. Would just freeze as soon as I started a game

Now then. I had performed the "x-clamp" fix after it kept red ringing me and did work for a couple of months until the freezing started. A mate of mine suggested that I

1) Loosed the bolts on the GPU heatsink and only tighten them finger tight

2) Get a heat gun (It wasn't working anyway) and heat the top of the GPU heatsink (Its the smaller of the two heatsinks) for about 20-30 seconds staying about 1 inch away, moving it around the entire heatsink

Leave it about 20 minutes to cool down and its been working great since (did it about three weeks ago)

He said he has done this on about 4 other x-boxes and they are all working again

The above information is tried at your own risk . I am not responsible for any melting of xboxs or hands. Do Not point the heatgun at your face. It will burn

Seven months of ownership and I still love it. Walk out the house in the morning, see the car and smile The only thing I could class as a dislike is the crap weather prevents me from driving as much as I like! Boot lid often hits me on the head as well but can't blame the car as it has an nismo spoiler so the boot struts needs uprating. The frozen solid windows is a bit of an inconvenience some morning (quickly learned not to leave the de-icer in the car ) and once I couldnt even open the door as it was frozen solid

I use it as my daily driver (70 miles a day) and except for the odd day when the snow was just not worth risking, its been a great drive. I wasn't expecting it but found that its also a pleasure to take on long runs. Did a 300 mile round rip on monday and enjoyed the whole drive (except for the bloody M5!)

Cheers
