Leaf it out

Don't think so buddy, modding is usually seen as an improvement Hope you sort yourself out something sooooon

If it only happens at cold, possible intermittent spark plug fault/failure when cold? Happened to me once years ago (not a Zed), turned out to be a faulty brand new spark plug.

Papa thinks that's how it SHOULD be , now if we could have some blue & silver smilies..................................................I've got my coat Yup. There are a few of the .gif smilies when viewed through my iPhone flash blue/normal

Never had one, are they really worth nearly a quid each!!?

Love the way your Zed looks now Chris

Is it me or does the Paul look like the dude in the middle?

They are so un cool, who tucks their vest in their Y fronts!!?

Taras, that is stunning mate

Very impressed with your auto cubby lid mod Dave

Oh my goodness, certainly on a par with DLT, good find Iain, Joy sends her love to Sarah

Milletts, they're made of canvas

You've got a new pair you could let him have

Shouldn't think you can afford it now Couldn't resist, sorry!!

+loads

Met him once in Bournemouth many years ago, seemed like a really decent bloke RIP

Ditto all of the above advice

Decisions decisions, will the T & T good news outweigh the Georgia potential gloom?

It pees me off too how they never seem to get it right and I have arrived at the following tongue in cheek solution:- For 80% of the year the weather in this country is changeable and unpredictable, during this time the weather forecasters have proved time and time again that they cannot give us accurate forecasts, it follows, therefore, that during this time there should be no forecasts as they are a pointless waste of time. The remaining 20% of the time we often experience settled weather conditions and we all enjoy it while we can, during these times we actually do need a weather person (note the omission of the word "forecaster" here ) to tell us with some certainty what the following day will bring. The moment the weather becomes changeable again all methods of weather forecast publishing should cease. The result is this:- No published weather forecast = Changeable, A published weather forecast = Settled. The defence rests m'lud. Simples

Oh lawdy lawdy lawdy, I believe, I believe

Don't think so buddy, I think you're addicted

Adrian, I think you have compulsive Zeditis with complications

+1 I found this mate, have to agree with Andy:- As a rule of thumb, the hardware in a decent laptop will be "up to date" for two years, and the laptop can be expected to have a lifespan of 4 years during which it requires 1 or more repairs, after four years it may accumulate problems beyond the capability of economical repair. A desktop will be "up to date" for two years, likely run into a small problem within 4 years ($50 to $100 to fix), and can last 6 years before the cost of repair exceeds remaining value. Laptops are more expensive to repair, and are more likely to have problems that are impossible to repair. lifespan depends entirely on how you use the machine. The fastest way to destroy a laptop is to place it on a bed while it is running. This prevents hot air from escaping under the laptop and causes parts to overheat. This results in excess wear and tear of the silicon chips (which expand with heat and contract when cooled). A laptop that is usually left on a bed overnight is lucky to last a year without expensive or permanent hardware damage. Similarly, desktops that are not allowed to ventilate properly will encounter problems within 3 years, probably sooner, depending on the hardware (more advanced and powerful hardware produces more heat, thus causing more damage). Laptops are subject to more abuse than desktops, which is why laptops have shorter lifespans. If the average laptop made today were placed in a clean, well ventilated room, it could likely run for 10 years without problem if no one touched it. A desktop would probably last 15 years without problem in the same condition. Technically, computer components can run forever, if kept on and at full power without interference. For example, many of the satelites orbiting the Earth have been there for two or three decades and continue operating. They are subject to considerable abuse when launched from Earth, but are in a perfectly clean environment since then, and are properly shielded from solar radiation.
