  1. Have you got rays on your zed? Looking at the photo in your sig it looks like they're not the rays?
  2. Sounded good, looks meh
  3. I went from iPhone 3G to iPhone 4 and it's sooo much quicker. Gave my iPhone 3G to the missus, every time I use it I feel like I've gone backwards a few years. Get yourself a 4 or wait until June for the new iPhone, probably best bet.
  4. Steve McCLaren supposedly on his way in, wonder how long it will take him to get a cockney accent like his comedy dutch one
  5. They look awesome on GM, just the type of wheels I'm after but too soon after splashing on the zed! GLWTS!
  6. haha I love the last one! Can just imagine the chuckle brothers in the front of the car "to me" "to you"
  7. Shouldn't take you too long to find one in good condition! I recently bought a 04 GT with 33k on the clock for around your budget and it's in very good condition
  8. 25. (I actually put that I'm 22 for a minute, not woken up yet ) Japspeed K2 and Y pipe. Bought the car with it on, love the sound of it but wouldn't mind it a bit raspier. Will be looking at Berk HFC when I get spare money
  9. Cheers for the replies! Will see if I can get the wheel off tonight and see if I can find any damage, hopefully not!
  10. So far I've managed to avoid any major potholes to and from work but today I decided to try a different lane to avoid traffic that normally builds up a right turn. Bad move! Hit a pothole in the lane that I never normally go in probably doing around 30-40mph and it gave a nice big thud noise. Had a quick look at the wheel when I got out the car but I had to get into work. I was just wondering what should I be looking for on the underside of the car that might be out of shape/damaged from it. Might just be me being overcautious but I want to check that I'm not driving round with a damage front passenger side possibly making things worse. I'll check over the wheel and tyre after work but I haven't got access to a ramp or anything unless I took it to a garage where they might think I'm being a weirdo checking for nothing. Thanks!
  11. Saved u p for 2 years then paid cash. DIdn't realise the insurance was going to be so bloody expensive though so that's been whacked on a credit card! Still got my Fiesta 1.25 to sell which should help, a bit!
  12. Awesome colour and love the rear!
  13. I'm currently tethering my iPhone whilst I wait 2 weeks for Sky to come 'activate' the phone line that was deactivated by BT about 2 days ago. Why on earth it takes so long I'll never know
  14. What's the best way to go about getting rid of small marks/scratches on the plastic interior? Mainly around the bottom of the door, the little hole you use to pull the door shut? Bought a decent amount of stuff for cleaning the exterior but noticed a few small marks on the interior that I'd like to tidy up.
  15. On the street and with the missus who has only been driving 2 years with 1 claim makes mine cheaper! Can't touch the specialist insurers as it's my first performance car and I'm in a Manchester post code. Theres a page on MSE about how different job titles can change the premium cost. As long as the job title roughly suits what you are doing you'll be fine
  16. What's the best way of driving the car for stop/start round town driving then? Without piddling petrol out the rear end!
  17. So basically insurers are doing what they always do with renewals and try to screw you over but you can save if you actually put the effort into looking elsewhere
  18. Cheers rancer! Will try and wash my shed Fiesta tonight for the first time in 18 months as a tester!
  19. Picked up a zed on Saturday Love it so far and I've hardly been able to drive it, drives great, sounds great with a Japspeed K2 and Y pipe on it and it's in really really good condition. Bought it from a forum member on here, webber. Kept it very nice and tidy for me! I'll get some photos up of it as soon as I can, just need to get used to changing gears without jerking everywhere!
  20. What a chump I am. Bought the fittings for the tap and pressure washer but was connecting straight hose. Bought some brass fittings to the hose and works now. Just so I'm not being thick, quite probably: Plug everything in. Turn tap on, a bit? a lot? Turn pressure washer on Spray away When you're not spraying should water be coming out of the hose where it connects to the tap and pressure washer? Thanks
  21. First pressure washer I've had but how the heck do you get the hoses to stay on? Soon as I turn the outdoor tap on and turn the washer on and pull the trigger the hose just pops off one or both ends. The hose is connected to a pair of threaded connectors that were a struggle to get into the hose but popped off in no time!
  22. Will this work in conjuction with the Bose headunit? I want to keep bluetooth for my iPhone and be able to use the steering wheel controls if possible. And will it work with an aftermarket headunit, same things about bluetooth?
  23. £100?! My 3 points for stopping near a pedestrian crossing (PC30) increase my insurance quotes on a zed by £600. ALl I did was stop to let my girlfriend put something in the frigging post box in 2008
  24. Looks good so far! Will be putting an order in for one of these or nurrish's one in a few weeks if this one's finished!
