  1. I bought some megiurs (the little tub) and seemed to work great. I still have a few marks though, that i will need to spend some time on. Autosol is great, only reason i didnt use was becuase i had blue tips on exhaust that i wanted to keep blue.

  2. If its just the centre part of oem bumperml. Do it yourself, dont waste money on a garage doing that tiny part. 1m x 1m is plenty. Its only a curve going down, not tricky at all. Probably like 5pound as you can use cheapy ebay stuff for that part :)

     

    Edit: just seen you already tried it. Try some youtube videos?

  3. Hey guys, need a front bumper badge and rear boot badge, either oem nissan badge or the Z burger badge.

     

    Also need front bumper reflectors. Either white, orange or black.

     

    All need to be in descent condition, not expecting brand new but cant look like its been kicked around the tarmac

  4. Well im living in scotland now, ladywell and quentin rise is within 1mile of my parents house. Obviously i cant go fight him or anything, but if you guys are looking for info if he still stays there, drop pm with info you have of his location, any facebook links etc and ill go get some accurate info. pm me with the details, p.s. im not a hitman so dont ask me to go kick his door in and ask for your money :lol: but ill give info in the legal form ^^

     

    Im sure last time this came up he was a friend on my facebook, but i dont know 90% of my facebook friends, i just accept so i look really popular :p send me facebook link, ill have a look at photos and should be able to pinpoint him

  5. Ah thatll explain why my protank feels like its on flames when I use it. Definetly got lower ohm in mine as that sounds spot on. Ill grab some higher ohm wicks and was going to go for that mvp2 variable volt one. Its a bit bigger but i dont carry much on me normally. Once im working again ill get a smaller variable.

     

    Do you find variable volt helps alot?

  6. Another update ~ Well it's been two weeks now since my last cigarette and I feel great about that (don't stink of cigs anymore :D ).

     

    Went to my local Vaping/E-Cig shop again today and decided to buy a KangerTech Mini Pro-tank II. It was only £13 and it is so much better than my KangerTech T3S atomizer.

     

    They obviously create the same amount of vapour but it is such a much smoother draw using the Pro-tank, has a removable drip tip and it can be completely stripped down for cleaning after use. B)

     

    I also bought some more "Liqua" E-liquid; got Cola, Grape & Strawberry flavours. Only tried Strawberry so far which is great tasting. Happy days. :thumbs:

     

    protank is pretty good, i got one but i dunno if its the liquid or the wicks, im having to topup twice a day lol. or maybe i just use it too much? either way, tastes good

     

    Top up twice a day? As in using a full 1.5ml twice? :scare:

     

    It'll be the coil, most likely a 1.8 ohm, buy some 2.2 or 2.4 ohm units, they'll last longer and not burn as much liquid.

     

    No idea what wicks im using, doesnt have ohm on the inner packet and threw the outter packaging in the bin, Ill find some 2.2 or 2.4 next time im shopping and see if it helps. Maybe im dragging for too long? I click the button before i take a drag to warm it up, then gently suck and do that for about 4 seconds. Mind you i do just sit and smoke the hell out of it all day. Ive been off work for past week so i just sit and puff non stop. probably 10x more addicted to nicotine now than when i was on 20 a day.

  9. It seems theres a full response on tapping the nose doesn't work, neither does shouting no as they think im joining in. I'll try the isolation and waiting until they stop barking before i give a treat, see how that goes. Only issue is, their not my dogs, the partner agrees with what im trying to do, but her parents (who live in the same house) get annoyed with the barking but never actually try to stop it, they just give in to the barking straight away.

     

    When he barks for attention, ive ignored him until he stops, done that today and eventually he did give up barking, but as soon as i clapped him for a few minutes, he then barked again when i stopped. So i can see it being a long process, but i'll keep at it :)

     

    Didnt realise about the nose thing though, everytime i've ever heard about training dog, it revolves around treats and a little tap on the nose. But, it seems ive probably remembered these things from my childhood when i was probably around people who didnt know much about dogs, so no more nose tapping or tapping anywhere and ill try the above :) cheers guys

  10. Tried Cesar's approach? :)

     

     

    Alfie's not really that barky. It's more every 3 in 10 dogs he will do it. He could walk past 50 dogs and not do anything, but then 1 just sets him off. Even though the other dog has done nothing different to the rest. And each time we walk past a dog, its a nervous wait to see if we need to grab him, apologise, give him a smack etc. Because its just random, not sure if hes forgetting hes been told off for it before. So its more just... is there a certain way we need to act when he does start to go/bark for a dog? As ive said, ive tried carrying him, putting back on tight lead, giving tap on the nose. Different each time so just curious which would be the best or, other alternatives.

  11. Nice looking pair of dogs. ;)

     

    If I was training a dog I would always use treats as an incentive & to confirm any good behaviour (with voice at the same time; eg. Good boy).

     

    Not had the chance to really train a dog from a pup yet though but have worked with our family dog in this way. Works for the most part but because my Mum let our dog get away with murder as a pup he tends to play up sometimes (barking) & only obeys himself. :lol:

     

    I've always trained my own dogs using the same approach, but thats to actually do something, i.e. sit, shake, lie down etc. I doubt i could use the same method of training to train them not to do something. Cant reward them for the barking situation, as they will just guess im giving them treats for barking?

  12. Hey guys, I read on here a few months back about someone who trained military dogs but cant find the thread. But im sure theres others on here who are able to help :)

     

    So, my partner has two dogs, both are mixed breeds from rescue centres. One is a ginger fox looking dog[alfie- boy] (believed to be a mix between collie and a terrier) and the other is a white one [missy- female] (collie crossed whippet/lurcher).

     

    I'll start off with alfie. Hes a proper people dog, wouldn't harm any human, but has just two things that are beginning to become an issue. One is him going for other dogs (only males from what we can tell), most of the time its when he has a ball or toy in his mouth out on a walk, and we presumed it was down to protecting his toy and/or protecting missy. But, there are times he goes for dogs when he has no toy. The other issue is barking if you don't clap him or show him attention. I have tried to, when he goes for dogs, put him back on a harness and let missy run around without a lead and him on one, and carry him, and give him a little smack on the nose. None of which seem to work. Again, with the barking, i constantly tell him no when he barks, try to close his mouth as soon as he barks, but it doesnt really sit in. He is treated too much like a human and i think hes a bit too spoilt and is now used to it.

     

     

    Missy is sort of the opposite. She is a timid dog and is scared of 99% of life. She has no concern for other dogs, never barks at dogs, just wants to run around like a nutcase. However, she is definetly not a 100% peoples dog. Everytime my partners brother comes into the house, missy will bark at him. She barks at everyone who comes in but once she sees them, she calms down and doesnt bark. But with my partners brother, he will be clapping her and she will keep barking and growling at him. There has been times when she has went for the cleaners bum, partners brothers crotch etc. It's never been a proper bite, and were not sure if she just gets too hyper and thinks humans can play like dog. She gets told off for it, and that calms her down and she goes to her bed. The barking however, just wont go away, you can scream and shout at her, hold her mouth closed and it doesnt make a difference. I dont have an issue giving a little smack on the nose for things, but i dont want to go down this route as a way of teaching a dog. Most dogs a tap on the nose shows your boss, but missy is a very timid and scared dog. She was a stray, and we dont know anything about her past apart from that.

     

    So in conclusion, both cases are closely the same. Both bark when they shouldnt, and both get a bit aggressive towards dogs/humans. Alfie is intentianal towards dogs and missy, from what we can gather, the biting is supposed to be fun, but the barking is an issue. The house is constantly loud with both dogs barking 24/7 and hoping to train them to stop this.

     

    Thanks for any help :)
