  1. Any pics of yours...condition etc?

     

    Not mine just yet, in the process of buying but was thinking about changing the exhaust earlier

     

    Looked to be in very good condition from when i saw it, obviously i'd get better pics once i've actually got the car :lol:

     

    Sorry just read back to your original post......d'oh....clearly didnt read the 1st sentence very well! :bangin: Perhaps getting too late in the day to be on the forum and still working! PM if you do obtain the car and decide to sell the K1.....I have a friend who really wants a good quality and priced example :thumbs:

     

    Will do, cheers BACON :thumbs:

     

    Should be mine in a few weeks if all goes well :)

     

    Few weeks!? :scare: You sure you're not getting confused with a house purchase procedure? :lol:

     

    Only kidding matey :)

     

    I'm guessing Its someone you know who owns It? Otherwise It would be sold in a few weeks

  2. Just a quick one with regards to having he Zed insured on a fully comprehensive policy and driving another vehicle on third-party cover (obviously with the owners consent). With Admiral, you have to be 25 years or older to benefit from this. I'm 24 and still have 1 year left until I can drive my family's cars around on third-party cover. Seeing as you're 23, unfortunately you're in the same boat as me.

  3. I had the same issue!!!! Luckily for me they didn't apply extreme force or heat it as they knew what the consequences would be and just asked me to come back after getting it sorted. Luckily they didn't as I wouldn't want to keep my car at a garage for a few days! :surrender:

     

    Thanks to CS, all got sorted :)

     

    Seems as though most Zeds suffer this issue.

  4. Hello all!

     

    As most of you must already know, Man Utd drawing and Man City has opened up the title race once again.

     

    Looking at the remaining fixtures and most importantly the Manchester Derby, who do you think will end up winning.

     

    As a Man Utd fan, I am getting very nervous. How could you lose a 2 goal lead at 83 minutes?

     

    Discuss....

  5. Id go double skin brick built and use fire/kiln bricks for the internal area. You can then use it as a nice fire to sit round afterward without cracking the bricks. Also consider building a tall chimney for it too, otherwise you just know its going to throw smoke just where you are sitting, and of course with a brick bbq you cant move it to redirect the smoke. You will have to move your seating are instead.

     

    Ensure you do as stew says and build a nice table/platform next to the bbq to store items. It can also double up as a log store underneath the table/bbq so you can cook on wood if you wish. :thumbs:

     

    Thanks for your reply matey. Could you please advise on the best bricks to use? I have no idea what the differences are between them and what will last longer with constant exposure to fire than the other.

     

    I need to sit down and work out what the optimal height is so I don't get a back ache doing the BBQ!

     

    Would you by any chance know what sort of money I'd be looking to spend (per brick) on the ones you recommend? I have seen London bricks for sale at BnQ for 34p a brick but I wasn't sure if this is the correct brick?

     

    How high above the BBQ should the chimney go?

     

    Do I treat the bricks with anything to ensure it lasts?

     

    PS - Congratulations on the new arrival mate, really happy for you and the Mrs! Hope they are both well :) Must be the best moment of your life! I wish your newly formed family happiness, good health and success for the future :thumbs:

     

    Bear in mind that standard bricks and standard mortar will burn out over time! Also you do realise the bricks aren't included in that ebay cost? :lol:

     

    :lol::lol::lol::lol: You are funny! Yes I did know that :blush: thank you for pointing that out to me though...you never know I may have thought that!

     

    What bricks etc you recommend?

     

    That kit looks like a decent price. We got ours from Wickes I think.

     

    Me and a mate built one a couple of years back. Took us two days and two crates of beer. It was a bit wonky, but that was probably due to the beer..

     

    We went to the local builders merchants for bricks. Filled up the back of his old Hyundai Coupe with the bricks, then cruised home at 15mph with a MEGA low car, windows down, shades on and Elton John blasting out the speakers :band::#1:

     

    As long as you start off level, it's not too hard and using the grill tray as a template makes things easy.

     

    I would recommend sobriety.

     

    HAHAHA!!! That sounds like fun!! I fear of making the same mistake! I hope I don't end up making it wonky too!

     

    Is the kit good value for money? I have seen one at Wickes and BnQ at about £20-£25, will I be better off with them? I want to build a large BBQ, where do you think I can get a large kit from (large surface area)?

     

    Are there any drawbacks to making a large BBQ?

     

    Thanks for your advice mate :thumbs:

     

    My mates Dad built one about 20 years ago. It's still standing and saw lots of abuse from us as youngsters climbing all over it..... So built well, it'll last!

     

    One thing he did was built a 'shelf' next to it ( brick frame with a nice slab on top) which is great for putting stuff on. This is worth considering.

     

    Thanks for your advice. I will definitely do build one next to the BBQ, very good idea!

  6. But im in the RAF so wouldn't be able to live in it for a while yet as my postings miles away from where I would realistically buy.

     

    Buy a house, rent it out and let that income buy you a nice car and more ;)

  7. Hi all,

     

    I am planning on building a brick BBQ in the back garden ready for the summer weather (if we even get any!)

     

    There are many ideas I have seen on Google and I thought this design and DIY BBQ kit looks the best:

     

    http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/33065966 ... adtype=pla

     

    The turned bricks to provide the supports for the grills looks like a good idea as metal supports would corrode and give way over a certain amount of time.

     

    Have any of you built one or have one at their house? Photos would be very much appreciated to give me some inspiration!

     

    Any advice/pointers would also be great.

     

    Can you also please recommend any places where I can purchase the good quality DIY BBQ kit for this brick BBQ at a good price? Preferable a large one so we can place more food on there at the same time.

     

    Your help is very much appreciated.

  8. Hi mate, do you have the ashtray and is it in good condition with the clips/spring in working order? Mine is loose and wobbles around inside the centre console compartment as something has broken off.

  9. you could always change the faulty window motor. :pmzmanalex: or :pmtarmac: for the parts

     

    Thanks for your reply mate. I don't have a faulty window regulator/motor, this question is to do with an advert I've seen where window regulators and motors are being advertised and a statement reads 'you could fail an MOT if you have a faulty window regulator or motor'

     

    As this does not apply to Cars, what does this apply to?

  10. Hi all,

     

    As a lot of you have some sort of MOT experience, I thought I'd ask this question...

     

    I've been made aware some vehicle classifications are checked for faulty windows (regulators/motors), does anybody know which vehicle classification this applies to? I know this is not checked on 'normal' vehicles but apparently they are on commercial vehicles.

     

    I've been on the VOSA website but cannot find anything!

     

    Thanks for your help guys!

  11. I drive at 70ish on the motorways and always average at least 32mpg on decent trips.

     

    If I had to drive at 55/60mph just to get a few more mpg I think I would rather get out and walk :thumbdown:

     

    I drive slow on purpose sometimes so I can listen to music :lol:

     

    Sameeeee!!!!! At 60/70mph it's quiet enough inside the car to listen to music at a normal volume. When you begin to exceed the 70mph barrier, it gets excessively loud in there, even at just 5mph more! :wacko:

     

    But then since I fitted the HFCs (thanks to you and CS :lol:), the car has become much louder at 3k revs when under load. When reaching 75mph, the revs come closer to the 2.5/3k mark which may be the reason.
