Absolutely beautiful place.. The Cayo Cocos are beautiful but a little removed from actual Cuban way of life.. Depends what type of holiday you like, if its just chilling on a beach then that's the place and its on a causeway off the main island. The island has its own run ways etc and the only thing bar hotels is Mosquitos.

4 days and I'd had enough. Flew to Havana booked into a hotel and had the time of my life. Great people, friendly, you just have to explore to find the right places to eat etc and keep in mind it's a poor nation.. Not in the fact it's 3rd world as they actually have a better health/education system than ours.. The only thing they have to pay for in Cuba is electricity and food.. But food is expenses due to the yanks.

But like all things in Cuba, they are so colourful with all there creations. If you go I'd say do the split holiday.. Few days in Havana smoking some huge Cubans and pickling yourself in rum then chill on a beach doing exactly the same. Hahaha

Oooh one more thing, Cuba is full of holidaying Canadians. Not as in your face as the yanks and you can have a laugh with them but boy can they drink and they all have bubba keg cups. Ale can disappear very quickly from the bars at the hotel if you ain't got one.. Trip advisor is a great source of info and where I found out about the bubba kegs.. In true Brit style you feel a little guilty at first having a litre of Mojito at your side but that soon disappears as you get pi**ed. Haha

Enjoy

:b Wheels look like Rota GTR-d's.. Was looking at some of these myself but got swayed another way right Mitz

Had these a a fair old while now off Steve. Due to unforeseen insurance company f-ups, I haven't gotten round to fitting them. But come Friday Steve ill have some Noises of these running with the Nismo zorst for you as well

I love mine, and the sound is beautiful.. Will sound even better on Friday once my high flow cats I got off Steve a few months ago are fitted but if the car hadnt come with it I wouldn't have forked out the cost of the nismo versus others out there.. Specially as its chewed 2 Y's in 3 years.. :-0

Still it sounds sweet.

Beautiful San Marino blue and Snow White covering sat there on a drive across from house i was working at.. I'd rather be driving that than fixing a bloody boiler. Very nice car

Shitster.. Specially the charmer from edwinstowe who lives at Lincoln... You see the Astons and lambo's and you think ok this place is decent.. Look at the cars they have.. Shiny car syndrome as my mate calls it!!

They were already under investigation when I complained, so very surprised its still open

But yep, love the Zed.. She bleeds me in a good way. Lol

Mate big on the car,

She looks lovely, but I feel your pain with parkway.. I bought a Alfa 147GTA off them that nearly killed me.. Brake lines shot out at 70 (ok maybe a bit more ) got wheeled into a Alfa specialist in Luton by the AA.. They refused to let the car back on the road.. Been front end smashed, all the bodywork underneath had been plated and welded up etc etc etc. basically should have been cat D and they farmed it out.. Grrr.. Long story short, trading standards were involved and a lot of wrangling later I landed in a Zed Happy days.. Glad you've got it sorted now

Don,

I'm taking it that company listed on that link I posted wasn't upto the task then

Gutted, was kinda hoping you were going to come back with a good review to justify the trip down

Try these buddy, I've had a few bits off them now when Alex hasn't had what I was after..

Very fast service, fire them a call or an email with some pics of what you want and they do the same back for you to make sure it's correct.

Like Karl said give prestige a ring.. Beat admiral by 400 quid last year even after and own fault claim. Jade did fantastic work and couldn't do enough to resolve issue I had caused by admiral.. Highly recommend them buddy

Very cool looking Zed there pal, specially like the submarine style portholes you were rocking on the front and rear glass hahaha

Lovely car, but what the hell's the deal with those bug eyes on stalks :0

Come on Ferrari I'm sure you can do better than that on an otherwise sexy looking car

Does bumble bee transform into something good there?

I know absolutely buttkiss about H + S bar the man on site always shouts at me

But these boys basically are the regs writers for gas industry.. Might be worth having a poke/chat with someone there.. Been very helpful with me getting my licenced gas technician status

Welcomes to the forum.. Happy Zedding

If you want carbonizing you have 3 options. Full spec carbon parts like you have posted. Carbon skinning or hydro graphic.

I've got the later two options from member traders on here. For skinning PM Danny boy or for the graphic Pm RT biscuit. Both do a quailty job

Good luck Phil

I'm so bloody glad there ain't none now and dave, if you screen shotted it, please don post it

Just playing devils advocate here but I'm sure all of us at some point have watched you've been framed or its similar based drivel derivatives and pi**ed our selves at others mis-fortune. Including the squirrels that often appear.

Who says it was set up for them, truth is it was captured ( like everything is nowadays as I've just found out ) and the vid does make you laugh in the same way watching some plank take a face plant.

I do like animals, and I don't wish them harm but I did also laugh when I saw it

I'm still waiting on a little some thing from a trader off here to fit these into

( not figured the ninja coding out for iPhone as yet ) but the DRL's are going in as we speak and the wiring is all being tracked back into centre console by Mitz and Andy down at CS as we speak, so figures crossed I should have a bit of a build thread up in the next few weeks as soon as there done giving Angelina the full works

To all the plumbs and heating engineers out there, don't shoot me for the info location or brand. I've only ever had trouble with these but I think this gives the best laymans description of energy efficiency/ modulation for customer to understand

http://www.vokera.co.uk/2012/02/17/benefits-of-high-boiler-modulation-ratio’s-explained/

Danfoss are your external controls.. Thermostats, 3/2 port valves..

Don't matter what your rad circuit is as long as your primaries I.e the 28mm is sufficiently long enough to carry away the initial 37kw of heat from the boiler..

And that's nothing to do with efficiency that's someone sticking a flue gas probe in and monitoring how it burns.. Personally I don't use net I use gross on my calculations as its a true reflection of the burn cycle.

And the biggest boiler kinda defeats the object of efficiency as its only firing briefly then off again.. What we call cycling. You want the boiler to modulate and stay on as long as possible to gain the most efficiency.. Hence range rating to system load.

Unless you have a mansion with around 60 rads you don't need 37kw to heat.

Bear in mind, standard 3 be's semi is roughly 15-18kw on heating..

The boiler will still give you 37 to hot water but heating is throttled back to allow it to heat up progressively and maintain that heat load at 20 degree differential ( I.e lose 20 degree by time it returns) rather than bang 90 flow in minutes followed by off on off on off on due to room temp not being satisfied but boiler cooking..

Imagine it as a line you go up, switches off, cool comes right down again so losing that money you have spent,

You can keep that line almost straight your on a winner

Yeah it did the same on the phone but the top PDF was like a contents page so gave me an idea of which lettered section was what..

Very you'll have to get a picture of these up to let us have a look. Just a thought though, won't you need some kind of switch back relay/ resistors fitted inline to allow the DRL's to dim?

Here you go Dave,

Linea Corsa Z20 wheels. Almost like for like as above ask Mitz about them, but tell him I'll be coming for my wheels so he best not sell them to you. Haha

I've had two boilers fitted to two houses in the last 2 years, previously had a Vaillant that worked flawlessly for 24 years in my house, it was only parts availability in the end that killed it off. Both boilers that have been recently fitted were the Vaillant Ecotech combi's.

 

The one in my house has a 37kw capacity and an excellent pump, which you need to consider if running more than one hot tap at a time, we can run the shower/bath and the kitchen hot tap simultaneously with very little if any drop in pressure.

 

The second boiler was slightly smaller, fitted in my daughters house when I refurbed it. The only problem on that was the microbore for the central heating was only 8mm which is too small, minimum 10mm should be used. Neil was instrumental in solving the problems here, and it all works perfectly.

 

Both boilers have wifi controllers, mine is very simple to use and set programmes, I got a high end controller for my daughters system which to be honest was a little more complicated, once i got the default language into English from German it was easier but I wouldn't go for that type (Vaillant) again, stick with simple and it will be cheaper.

 

My boiler cost £2k to be supplied and fitted, boiler itself was sourced by me and so I new that @ £800 was labour/fittings and taxes, took two days to install and the fitter had an apprentice with him, which I like to see, someone getting a good start in life.

 

The other boiler was £1100 + £120 for the controller + £200 for various valves and microbore/flue etc, I fitted it myself and then got it checked out with a gas safe engineer for compliance, as I said had a few teething probs with the microbore but Neil helped me with this. It would have made economic sense to actually get it fitted by an expert at the start but the rest of the refurb wasn't finished so couldn't pay an engineer a few hours here and there.

 

The Worcester is a Bosch company I believe, so quality shouldn't be an issue, but check the link below and do more research before committing. The price you have been quoted sounds very reasonable, remember you are paying for expertise and peace of mind, good luck

I hope you've got bigger pipes than 22mm coming out from your heating circuit on that big boy ( 37kw ) either that or your installer range rated the boiler down to your heating load or otherwise that lovely pump you talk about will be crispy crackered very soon.

Vaillant had issue with the wilo pumps on the 37kw boilers and swapped them to grundfos.. Very expensive and a bitch to swap if its outta warranty!!
