Finding similar issues the allow access is a real pain. Found I get less hassle by switching on unit - connection phone - start radio app Also wasnt impressed had to cough up £40 for the apple adaptor to make it work Unfortunatley the unit locks up far to often which mean you need to unplug your iphone which also means you are then committing a motoring offence if like me its not fixed in a base One thing to note is that that there are 2 usb connector that look identical but one does power only so if you do disconnect make sure same one is used. The free satnav app works well, The media player app is very tempremental and sometimes work some times doesn't. The bluetooth quick play always works but tracks are random. The firmware on the unit is not good - If anyone had a BlackBerry Storm then on a par with that for crapness. The unit is really screaming out for a firmware update to fix this . A another minor thing that annoys me is you can't change the from the 4 supplied backgrounds - or if you can then I can't find out how. The radio is good but for £400 notes this is distinctly below average due to the limited apps and functionality thereof Looks good - but reality is Prepare to be underwhelmed And if anyone can tell me how to get my ipod classic wired in them be very grateful - tried all combinations of wires and the ipod icon stays greyed out. Probably need another adaptor - grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Long Terms normally bought for practicality 2.2 kids etc but over the years inc hire cars not sure of exact model but they were all new : - Ford Mustang - very meh...maybe its the pretty much 65 mph throughout the States that we all stick to as their cops are armed but for performance and ride give me a Zed anytime Vauxhall Astra - sports diesel - cracking little car - very nippy, comfortable Hyundai i30 - good spec, good ride - nice car Ford Mondeo Estate - (Champions League spec!) HAd this for 2 weeks in Italy - lovely car to drive very comfortable and quite nippy around the windy roads on thge Amalfi coast Chrysler Cruiser - fun car has this in the States although small boot for its size Toyota Hilux - my first company vehicle in PNG - solid great suspension and trust me thats needed - bit sluggish Nissan D40 Navarro - 2nd PNG car Amazingly quick for a UTE - suspension is not as good as the Toyota but wonderful 2.5 turbo engine

Have US spec on my JDM as well but also carry the legal sizes as a plea of mitigation - unlikely to succeed it seems

I have a low mileage 2003 JDM and very pleased with it - I am the second UK owner, The post linked above is pretty thorough - Spec's on the JDM can differ as I recall most UK standard bits are optional extras on the early Z33 Fairlady- like Brembo brakes for example. I have have swapped my centre gauges for UK spec as I wanted the running info in miles not km's, the satnav is all Japanese and did consider popping in an old XTrail unit but the cost (£250ish plus fitting and doesnt do postcodes ) versus what you can get get a Garmin for means its was really not required. I must admit I prefer the rear box number plate recess and having a few buttons in Japanese in the car just gives it a bit of character. No issues at with servicing and modding. Resale on imports vs UK spec isn't that different now but read the forum guides - ask questions, but essentially they are very similar so all down to personal taste. Whichever one you get, as long as have done your homework to decide a Zed is for you - you will not be disappointed and join the rest of us with fixed grins on our faces everytime we start the engine or look back in the carpark and think - thats mine ! Beware Zeditus Right..... time to pop a flare

Have a set budget and choice was new wheels or get the interior all leathered up so by downgrading to a refurb can now do both Here's a few before and after pics went from stock to shadow chrome done by Chris of Ultimate Wheelz from Dersingham if you know the area Very pleased with the look. Gives the car an edge Apols for pic quality Before After

Pretty sure Ash has fitted one of these - drop him a PM A9H-RX

Fantasy football is not something to be taken lightly - you need to apply far more than players form - you need to look at the permutations of injuries, team harmony - best possible points yield given to likely pathway to the final so selected players have more opportunities to gain the greatest share of game time and more point chances Its a very skilled art based on some luck but mainly mathematical probabilities. Disregarding all the the above decided F*ck it - pick the Arsenal players Gooners on Tour +1 - entered - (the plus one is the goalie !)

Anyone got one of these ? Could start a weekly zed league !

Para 8.2of their terms ands conditions - think you may be in luck If you do not want to accept a significant change, which we tell you about before you depart, we will, if we are able to do so, offer you an alternative Package of equivalent or closely similar standard and price at no extra cost, or a less expensive Package, in which case we will refund the difference in price. If you do not wish to take the alternative we offer you, you can choose adifferent Package offered for sale by us and pay, or receive a refund of, any price difference. Or, if you prefer, you can cancel your Package and receive a full refund of any money you have paid to us, except for any amendment charges.We will consider an appropriate refund of insurance premiums paid if you can show that you are unable to transfer or reuse your policy

Hi Mate sorry to hear about this. Basically if they cannot provide the package as described and cannot provide the goods ( hotel) as stated ie you entered into a contract to stay at hotel x which is now not available then they are in breach of contract and as such you are entitled to a full refund so find another service provider that can provide a hotel to the required standards. This may not be ideal and give you much time to look elsewhere but thats the tack I would be taking. You should also notify your insurance company just in case it does turn to horlicks. The small print may need to be checked but unless theres is something Below from ABTA website The tour operator has changed my accommodation. Can they do this? This depends whether the tour operator specifically states in their booking conditions that they can make changes like this. If they don’t reserve the right to do so, then any change will be a breach of contract. If they do reserve the right to make the changes, then they must follow what their booking conditions say. ABTA’s Code of Conduct says that booking conditions should state that if a significant alteration is made, the tour operator must offer an alternative if available, or a full refund. They should also offer compensation, unless the reason for the major change is force majeure. If the change is to accommodation within the same resort and of a similar standard as the accommodation originally booked, it won’t normally be regarded as a major change. I would call the travel company and quote the above - if they do reserve the right then you may be screwed
