  1. Andy, I must know you I was a member of Ivanhoe Beacon flying club for years flying slope soarers I know many of the f3f guys I have had many scale glass ships doing areotows around the country my brother has an internet shop you may know us http://www.acemodel.co.uk or mabe even bought a glider from us
  2. I have in-laws living in Harrogate just outside of York so have been to all the sights with the kids, try the National railway museum, York it's a great day out and walking distance into York town which is fantastic. If it's a nice day go to Mother Shiptons Cave
  3. yep! just my luck ordered these from Camskills yesterday for £345 just to get the car through it's MOT I have been holding out for months for someone to come on here but as the sun is shining I had to get some. Good luck with the sale these should sell within days!
  4. Yep! been playing with everything RC was flying heli's and power planes years ago then got hooked into F3J which is thermal soaring gliders done that for 20 years and represented the UK in Euro and World Championships the last 2 years I have been sailing model racing yachts in competitions which I do most weekends
  5. that's way overpriced for that car my mate just sold an 02 1.6 auto for £2200
  6. as the saying goes your 'pay for what you get' a £100 lawn mower is as cheap as chips so don't expect too much from it as for Briggs & Stratton well there cheap engines built for places like B&Q etc just like Franke kitchen sinks where the best and now there sold by B&Q these companys build cheaper goods at low cost just for these markets. Save up some more and buy a used Honda 17" blade self propelled mower for about £200 maybe £250 your going to put that money in the Zed after 3 visits to the petrol station and Honda mowers are a sound investment that are repairable unlike all the B&Q ones which you will find mower repair shops will not do as there just chuck away things. I have had my Honda mower for 20 years and serviced every 4 years and it's left outside in all weathers it starts first time on every pull.
  7. not a good comment for someone trying to sell wheels
  8. if you buy an 06 year plate it will be cheaper than a 56 plate like mine

    19" Nismo LMGT4's

    I think I'm with you stuarty, I think Rays are so over rated and over priced it's a joke my BMW alloys on the wifes car are still in mint condition when I bought the car in 2000 as for my mint Rays on my 17000 miler roadster there due a refurb soon due to corrosion as they all do!
  17. I've never paid more than £35 for an MOT!
  18. I would not recommmend either a Bankers Draft or Cheque from any bank or building society many cars are bought frauduantly with these I would never take either if I sold a car to anybody! cash is also now a problem anything over 5 grand cash the banks ask where it's come from what with money laundering laws I know many dealers cannot take cash for this reason. Best bet is a bank transfer the longest it should take is 2 hours to show in the sellers account normally it's showing out your account and in there's within minutes.
  19. Just seen this that might be of interest to Zed owners with mods to there cars. On 1 January 2012, new rules were added to the current MOT by the Department for Transport (DfT) to comply with European testing procedures. It's a pretty substantial list, but there's one which could mean big bills for thousands of drivers. If your car has any illuminated warning lamps, whether it is the airbag, seatbelt, ESP, SRS, ABS or others, it will soon fail the MOT. It's not all bad news. If your car's MOT runs out before the 31 March 2012 and you have a warning light that needs addressing, the testers will treat it as an 'advisory', i.e. advice on what needs to be done for the next MOT. However, if your MOT is due after 1 April 2012, you better get your skates on and get the warning light (or other faults in the list below) fixed, otherwise you'll receive the dreaded red fail sheet. The AA has kindly published a summary of the new rules. If you think your car needs attention on any of the points below but still has a long MOT left, we recommend getting it seen to sooner rather than later. The main changes from 2012 Electronic parking brake Electronic parking brake controls are now included and must be present and not inappropriately repaired or modified - repair obviously likely to adversely affect the roadworthiness of the vehicle or modification that has seriously weakened the component. (The 'inappropriately repaired or modified' check is to be applied to a wide range of systems and components throughout the vehicle.) The car will fail if an Electronic Parking Brake warning lamp is illuminated to indicate a malfunction. Electronic Stability Control Checks of anti-lock brakes will be extended to include Electronic Stability Control if fitted. The tester will check for the presence and correct operation of the ESC malfunction warning light together with looking for obviously missing, excessively damaged or inappropriately repaired or modified components and electrical wiring, as well as an ESC switch missing, insecure or faulty. Warning lights As well as electronic parking brake and electronic stability control warning lights (where fitted) the MOT test will also include checks for the correct function of the following, where fitted; Headlight main beam warning light Electronic power steering warning light Brake fluid level warning light Tyre pressure monitoring system warning light Airbag warning light Seat belt pre-tensioner warning light Steering & suspension The new test includes a check on the presence and correct function of the steering lock where fitted as standard. Missing, or split/damaged dust covers on steering and suspension ball-joints will result in failure if they will allow dirt to enter the joint. Power steering fluid level must be above the minimum level indicated on the reservoir. Lighting Products on the lens or light source that obviously reduce the light's intensity or change its colour will become a reason for failure – applies to front/rear position lamps, registration plate lamps, stop lamps, rear fog and direction indicators, Headlight requirements are updated to take account of the particular characteristics of High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps. HID headlights can cause dazzle if they are dirty or aimed too high so car manufacturers must fit headlamp cleaning and levelling systems. A car will fail if a mandatory headlamp cleaning or levelling system is missing, doesn't work or is obviously defective. Vehicles fitted with aftermarket HID systems must also be fitted with properly working washer and levelling systems. If a headlamp bulb is not seated correctly the resulting beam pattern will be indistinct and this will result in a test fail. Electrical wiring and battery An insecure battery will be a reason for failure as will a battery that is leaking electrolyte. Visible wiring that is insecure, inadequately supported or likely to cause a short will also result in a failure as will wires bared by damaged insulation. Trailer/caravan electrical socket There will be a basic security/damage check of 7-pin sockets, 13-pin sockets will be subject to a full electrical connectivity check and incorrectly connected or inoperative circuits will result in failure. Tyres Tyre pressure monitoring systems fitted to vehicles first registered after 1 January 2012 must be working correctly and not indicating a malfunction. Supplementary restraints The vehicle will fail the test if any airbag fitted as original equipment is obviously missing or defective. A seatbelt pre-tensioner fitted as original equipment but missing or that has obviously deployed will be a reason for failure. Seatbelt load limiters that are missing where fitted as standard or folding webbing type limiters that have obviously deployed are also reasons for failure. The vehicle will also fail if an SRS malfunction light is missing, not working or indicating a fault. Speedometer The car will fail if a speedometer is not fitted, is incomplete, inoperative, has a dial glass broken/missing or cannot be illuminated. Seats It must be possible to secure the driver's seat fore and aft adjustment mechanism in two or three different positions. On electric seats the motors must move the seat fore and aft. Doors A rear door that cannot be opened from the outside using the relevant control is a new reason for failure. Doors must be easy to open and close – hinges, catches and pillars will be inspected. Towbars Inappropriate repair or modification to the towbar assembly will be a reason for failure if judged likely to affect the roadworthiness of the vehicle/trailer. Exhaust A catalytic convertor fitted as original equipment but missing will be a reason for failure. Fuel system Damaged or chafed fuel pipes will result in failure.
  20. had to renew my insurance tonight and have had Admiral multi car for a couple of years now after just getting over Christmas I've had to pay just under £4000 for three cars My zed and the wifes BMW 325 was a respectable price but my 18 year old daughter with a Suzuki Swift was £2940.00 I got quotes from other companys of over £4500 just for the Suzuki along. ( me thinks it's time to move out of London)
  21. I have not had a long term contract phone for years I have a Sim only 1 month contract with o2 and buy sim free phones whenever I fancy a new phone.
  22. Had a play with the tab since I received it Saturday morning and to be honest it knocks the spots off the Ipad 2 which I already have the screen is larger has two cameras with flash light and running against each other the Samsung downloads quicker plus it's easier to use and browse unlike Apples with there Quirky bits like Safari, so I'm a very happy bunny Thanks Dan.
