  1. I will speak to a mush I know at Nissan and let you know, the score with what you get on the upgrade on the disc and how you do it
  2. Just to chuck in my 10 cents worth. I too suffer all year round with dust allergies, but in the summer its ten times worse. I havent had a full nights sleep since May and I use tablets inhalers, and those sprays, great crack. If anyone has a miracle cure for this plight, please let me know. By the way, I know moveing out of Teesside may help, but not economic to do so just yet.
  3. Nissan forced to pull reversing stunt from Festival of Speed NISSAN was forced to pull its record breaking LEAF stunt from the Goodwood Festival of Speed over safety fears. The manufacturer was aiming to set the fastest time for a car going backwards up the famous hill. Because the Nissan LEAF is an electric vehicle and has a continuous variable transmission, it can theoretically travel at the same speed backwards as it can forwards. However, the stunt was pulled at the last minute over safety fears. A spokesman for the manufacturer said lack of testing on the circuit prior to the event forced the plug to be pulled at the eleventh hour. Nissan said it still hoped to break records with LEAF and would be testing the electric car at Goodwood this week for a possible re-run next year. ‘We still want to break records with the LEAF,’ said the spokesman. ‘The fact it can travel at speeds up to 90mph backwards is too good an opportunity not to exploit. The car does have to be modified for this to be possible though, so there are safety issues we need to overcome first.’ I would have paid to see a Leef at 90mph backwards
  4. Nowhere near 370 326 Bev's Alfa 155 Speed triple 129 Total 610 Rubbish
  5. Great pics looks like you had a blast !!
  6. Right couple of issues here Im afraid 1/ The codes are not propper Nissan codes, however looking at the data supplied and Riceys link the O2 sensors looks to be the fault. 2/ There isnt really a fix (unless a broken wire that could be soldered) 3/ There is also 2 of these sensors a front or a back they are quite expensive to replace so you need to get the right one! 4/ The cost of the part is £140.40 plus VAT. Please bare in mind this would be subject to a chassis check as the prices can diifer a bit. My advice would be to get in somewhere that knows what they are doing and get a full diagnostic done on it. Hope this helps a bit, good luck
  7. I ask some questions and get back you tomorrow
  8. Thanks JamesB I might just do that, she is now just got into Citizens Advice (working for free I might add!) this may open a few doors but certainly the course you mentioned could be a winner - Cheers
  9. My wife and I had a crisis meeting some years ago. I was sick of my job, and she was unfulfilled with hers. I didn’t know what to, do but she felt like becoming a solicitor! Winner, I thought early retirement here we come (not the pensions things again, promise!) She enrolled at Teesside University, only to find out that the degree school was important. Wasted a year finding that out. Then began again at Northumbria University Law School (an hour away!) Plus they also did the Legal Practise course which you need to qualify which can only be done at a handful of universities in the country. Now the rub: 7 years later, a good degree qualification, a commendation in the LPC and god knows how much spent on tuition fees and petrol getting up and down the road, late nights and crummy part time jobs, she can’t get a traineeship, as nobody is hiring. What a depressing waste of time. Plan B: Move to Canada.
  10. You would think they would have found a new "Thing" by now, this extra motorist tax is getting boring now...
  11. I put this on the Motorcycle thread, but thought it may get missed by all.... well worth a look http://www.itv.com/yorkshire/mobile-speed-camera27812/
  12. This is not funny please see this link http://www.itv.com/yorkshire/mobile-speed-camera27812/

  15. that's a big awld unit! fantastic performance if I remember though.
  16. Yes it is just a USB, in fact its slightly smaller than a regular "Keyless" fob, but I thought it looked quite good, and ergonomically its quite pleasing too!!
  17. 2 GB, sorry should have mentioned it!
  18. NISSAN has revealed its plans for next week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed and they are bound to cause a stir with spectators. Record breakers? The firm will be setting out to claim two records at the West Sussex event (July 1-3) and it will be the LEAF and Juke that set them. The Nissan LEAF, 2011 Car of the Year, will attempt to become the fastest car ever to be driven up the famous hill climb course – backwards. Unlike petrol-powered cars, in which reverse gear allows only low speeds, the LEAF has an electric powertrain that, theoretically, enables it to be driven backwards as fast as it can go forwards. This means the car has a potential reverse top speed of 90mph – the only modification to the LEAF will be the removal of an electronic feature which prevents high-speed reversing. Nissan will also makes its first attempt at a two-wheeled record up the Goodwood Hill, with the Juke aiming to become the fastest four-wheeled machine to climb the entire course using just two wheels (On it's side). Professional stunt driver, Terry Grant, will be the man attempting to set the records in the LEAF and Juke by performing the stunts once every day. ‘I’ve experienced Goodwood before but never attempted to set a new record,’ said Grant. ‘To have the chance to grab not only one but two records at the same event will hopefully provide everyone with a very entertaining spectacle.’
  19. Couldn't have had a better day for it! Nice one
  20. Gman you don't know the half of it. He also has one of his old kites in a museum in new orleans. And yes that is Spielberg
  21. The old guy is in the back seat
  22. Thanks gman, yes he is f@&king mental he flew with ken wallace in a gyrocopter at 90 and is due to do it again shortly. Ken Wallace is a freind of his who invented the gyrocopter ie "little nelly" in the James bond film you only live twice he he a constant source of inspiration
  23. Slightly off topic I am also very proud to say my grandfather was a spitfire pilot thoughout the whole of WW2 including the battle of Britain as is still alive (95) drives a BMW325 !! Proper old gent. Sorry for the indulgence....
