Stutopia

For boot struts try a couple of these http://www.sgs-engineering.com/gas-struts/car-boot-tailgate/nissan/350z/filter/2004/ My struts were very tired when I bought her, fitted some SGS replacements and they're all good now. I've seen a few people on here use/recommend them. There are a couple of breaking threads around you could search for, and enquire for the cover. Alternatively I'm sure others will be along with suggestions too. Good luck.

Watching a show and not rating the presenters doesn't seem mutually exclusive to me. I love to watch football but I loathe Chiles, Southgate, Shearer, Neville, Motson, Pearce, Dixon, Keown, Nevin, Tyldesley as presenters/pundits/commentators. Doesn't stop me tuning in every time!

If you've got an iPhone 5 check exactly what cables you'll need from pioneer AND apple. They recently updated the firmware for my (different model) Pioneer to support app radio for iPhone 5, but it requires at least one cable from each company to make it work. They're not like £7.99 either. GL.

Weird isn't it, all three of them a various degrees of bell end, but I'll happily watch it. Not sure what that says about everything else on the TV!

Nice Zed &

Yeah, but there's two sides to any bad debt. Bad borrower is one, incorrect risk management by the lender is the another. Out of those two, the lender is supposed to be the informed & trained professional. But let us not forget the regulator too, they're supposed to keep an eye on things and they missed something pretty big in the run up to meltdown.

Love this thread, if I'm not careful I'll end up buying a project myself. It's like a Mini Haynes manual with fun and a colour scheme with a sense of humour. Thanks for sharing.

The scouser lays it on pretty thick which is defo fully irritating, but if it's not correctly executed (and what he's quoting is legit?) then he has a valid point. Mortgage companies and bailiffs are more than happy to quote the minutae when it suits so it's only reasonable he can do the same. I'd assume this kind of thing would be covered in Bailiff School 101. On a more human side, it's a shame the bailiffs seem to relish so much repossessing a property. I'm sure someone has to do the job but it'd be better if they were a touch more reasonable. Plenty of people will cave in to this sort of pressure, simply because they don't know where they stand. I'd say get legal advice if you really want to know you're rights OP, you never know with anything you see/read on the web.

I was thinking that but what about the sluddgy mayo when your head gasket is gone? Oil and water will mix to make an emulsion (like mayo), but it requires an emulsifier. I did a job once treating the run off from the ford engine plant in Bridgend, all the run off from a few square miles is captured and treated before being let into the wild. It makes a pretty gruesome emmulsion. It'll seperate again if stood long enough. If you see someone cooking and adding a bit of flour to a sauce it can act as an emulsifier and bring two immiscable liquids together, and bring a seperated sauce back from the dead. I'm assuming with head gasket mayo some other deposit in there creates the emulsion. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emulsion

You sure that's not from gulling? You did say there was an "entertainment area" in that curious space between the front seats and the boot.

Massive nuts, very impressive, I get the fear just looking at a bottle of poorboy's swirl remover.

Anyone else noticed when you're in the music app and you select Genre you can't play everything in that genre anymore? It's not a bug, it just is no longer an option there. Any ideas? Other than make a playlist of each genre...

Alex has recently diagnosed the exact same symptoms for me after a long time sat in heat in traffic, mine hasn't gone fully back to normal after cooling down like yours did. It's way better than it was at the time, but it still feels a bit freaky sometimes in the recent warm weather. I fully bricked it at the time and assumed it was the clutch saying Adieu. Thanks to Zman's service I now have the bits in my shed and she's due to go in for slave cylinder replacement next week. Given a bit of sunshie and traffic next Tuesday I'll happily report back to confirm if it has been remedied. Not that I have any reason to think it won't be, but you never know.

Does no one else find it weird that an entire species hates one fruit? It's like saying all humans hate Cristiano Ronaldo, oh, having said that it now, it makes perfect sense...

Why do cats hate lemon?

Sounds expensive, I'll take my chances with the vampires and werewolves for now. Ohhh... It's antibacterial too

Possibly uglier, but if then all your speakers work and you retain the steering controls and add streaming over Bluetooth and a phone charging point and proper access to your contacts and maps that auto-volume your music when they speak, it might be worth considering it.

I get that a/c works both ways, but I'm more of an open window kinda guy for freshness, I like to feel the wind on my skull and drink in the fragrance of Blackpool in the morning. It smells like... like... Victory. I just wondered if there was any secret A/C Club reason for always-on, but obviously the first rule of A/C Club is you don't talk about AC Club

Any excuse to pic whore I recently had mine refurbed in what the fella described as "chrome effect". Whilst the name sounds rubbs, I'm well pleased with the new look. I was tempted by dark, but with GM the wheels vanish IMHO. Just need some new caps to finish it off. GL with choosing, I agonised for weeks and very nearly went for cobalt blue!

Beat me to it. Not used mine yet so pease defer to experienced Zedders out there. How come everyone runs their A/C all the time, it's barely warm enough up here to switch it on. Is there another reason to run it?

Alex just sent me one as part of my service pack, never seen it before. Looks like a small can of deodorant, seems you pull the pin then lob it in the footwell whilst the car is running with the AC on, then duck and cover. AC bugs get f***ed up. Sure if you PM him he can supply.

Beware of the dog sign? Motion activated sprinkler near your parking spot? Once you've been soaked a few times you'll remember to switch it off before leaving the house.

Good luck to Murray, true Motorsport legend. Every time I listen to that clown Crofty on the F1, speaking exclusively in soundbites and clichés, I remember how much character Murray brought to his commentary. GWS.
