  1. Thanks for that. Better performance and better price, could be onto a winner there!
  2. Hi. I've got my 350Z ('07)in the garage at the moment for an overheating problem, apparently it needs a new radiator fan. I'm told Nissan want £600+ for a genuine part. Anyone have any ideas for where to get it cheaper, or an OEM part which is up to the job? Thanks, Simon.

    New Jag!

    That's a mighty purty vehicle.
  5. If you fancy a decent read on the Kindle I can thoroughly recommend the novella The Last Best Day http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Last-Best-Day-ebook/dp/B004LLIE8Y/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1315337817&sr=8-7 It's one I wrote and published a few months ago. A little rough around the edges in places, but some people have told me it's a good read. Please excuse my blatant advertising, but what the hell eh?
  6. In the 'experimental' section you've got some useful features like an internet browser and text to speech. The internet browser is basic, but OK for emergencies and free to use even on the 3G network. Text to speech is reasonable enough to be of real use, I use a radio transmitter so I can have my Kindle read to me through my Zed's stereo on longer journeys.
  7. Excellent stuff, love it! That got passed round the office and wasted a few person days
  8. Sounds like DTE is very conservative then, which is a good thing. But I'll keep that tank healthily topped up in future.
  9. OK, I'm feeling confident I'll get home now, as long as some selfish sod doesn't have an accident and block the A27 on the way home Thanks for the advice re. the bag filter. I've often heard people mention about the crap in the bottom of the tank getting sucked up when running on fumes, but wasn't sure if that was a myth or not. I'll treat her to a full tank of 99 as soon as I get back today.
  10. If I find out exactly how accurate it is I'll be sure to post it! If it's inaccurate in the direction of there being more fuel in the tank then that'll work well for me on my drive home tonight...
  11. While driving to work this morning my DTE warning came up on the multi function gauge. I pulled in to fill up when I realised I'd left my wallet at home - thankfully I noticed before I filled up! My drive back is around 17 miles and my DTE is reading 32 miles. If that number is accurate I've got nothing to worry about. So my question is - how accurate in people's experience is the DTE reading?
  12. I just caught up with the old threads of your previous problems - I'm new here. Sounds traumatic to say the least! You deserve a decent dose of Zed luck and I hope you get it when you pick up your new toy tonight.
  13. I don't know the numbers, but surely it must be quite a small percentage. I'd guesstimate around 0.1% at the most. My take on the root of the problem is that too much is given too easily, that is the people rioting haven't ever had to work for anything they've got. I say 'rioters', it's not right to lump them all together. There are those who want to do random violent acts - I won't pretend to know why because my thinking is too far divorced from such people. And then there are the majority of rioters who want some free loot and think this is their chance to get away with it. Most of us like to get something for nothing, but the difference between us decent people and the rioters is that we don't think it's OK to disadvantage other people in order to get that something. One thing I can imagine is frustrating - though I in no way think this is a valid mitigating factor - is growing up in a society where you know the chances open to you are always going to be limited. I've always had the chance and motivation to work harder if I want to do better in life. In the meantime, I wish the police would grow some teeth and deal with this unacceptable behaviour. I'm not singling your words out in particular Ozz, I just wanted to stick my oar into the debate!
  14. The groovy bonnet bulge is worth a few quid in my opinion.
