  1. And mine... 'er indoors says it makes her feel sick... Yummy S.
  2. Decided against Valiant as I had heard of two cases of bad radio interference (I do Ham radio when snowed in !). Had a Viesmann condensing boiler fitted instead. Very pleased with boiler, but had a problem with the amount of hot water. It turned out that new boilers do not like some old hot water cylinders. The old ones do not have enough turns on the heating coil to transfer the heat from the primary circuit into the domestic hot water. The symptoms are that when heating only the water the boiler throttles back to soon. Fitting a new cylinder cured the problem and we survived the recent cold spell with plenty of heating and hot water. Total cost boiler, cylinder and system power flush - £2,800. S.
  3. Blast, that's why I didn't get the 370Z I asked for... S.
  4. And these numptys have been selected out of thousands - God help us ! S.
  5. My Wife (who knows about these things) did some research before buying a reader. She brought a Sony, and is very pleased with it. Others with alternative readers when they see it say that they wish they had brought the Sony. The real decider as far as I can understand was that with the Sony you could import books from many different sources, whereas with the Kindle you are somewhat restricted (Amazon only, I think). You definitely don't want one that has a keyboard, as it just takes up space and serves no real purpose. Hope this helps... S.
  6. Away with fuel consumption blues.... The mad scientist does it again... http://www.sinclairzx.com/spec-x-1.html S.
  7. Stop taking the wee wee...
  8. I'd like to know how you get on with Glyn Hopkins MK. I brought my car from them, but let our local garage do the P2 service @ £165. S.
  9. Up for renewing my insurance. 64, full no claims for myself and 'er indoors, no points,<8k/year, garaged. Chris Knott wanted £606, Priviledge (Direct Line) £535. WTF... Staying with Saga £435...Even that's taking the P***. S.
  10. I have the same wheels and tyres as you with 20mm spacers front and back. My 08 Coupe looks and handles great. S.
  11. Friends of my wife bought a brand new MX5 without even sitting in one, she liked the colour. Now they have it, he finds that with his bad back he can't get in or out ... S.
  12. The product that caught my eye was :- Silencer - Full Spectrum Cellphone Jammer (CDMA + GSM + 3G) Just try getting one of those into the country ! Ofcom will let in all sorts of products that mess up the airwaves, but not jammers as they could reduce the revenue of the phone service providers. Double standards ! I will now get off my horse, and back into my Z... S.
  13. Thanks for the guide with the pics. Very timely as I will be removing my strut cover this weekend. S.
  14. Many thanks... some good tips here. It looks like a trim removal tool would make the job much easier, so I will see if there are any on eBay. Cheers S.
  15. Nothing ? Out with the tin opener then.... S.
  16. I think that I have finally tracked down a noise that has been bugging me for some time. I found that I could stop it by throwing a coat over the Rear Strut Brace Cover. I think that the cover is rattling, but just to be sure I would like to remove it, and look inside for anything else that might be loose. I have had a look at the technical bulletins, but they seem to indicate virtually all of the rear trim must be removed to gain access to the strut. Is this so, or is there a simpler way in ? It's an 08 Coupe. Cheers S.
  17. Hi, I have the best of both worlds. My wife has a Golf GTI which she lets me drive, and I have a 350Z which only I drive ! As for the poor standard ICE, there are lots of options to replace it - just do a search. I fitted a small PC in the rear cubby and a touchscreen in the front one. This way I can have mp3, dvd's and Sat Nav all in one unit. S.
  18. I really must complain about the ethnic nature of the thread header... S.
  19. Fitted 20mm spacers front and back on my 08 Coupe about 2months ago. The only change I have noticed is a slight increase in understeer, but I can live with that given the way it now looks... S.
