The bilt hamber one is very good

It would seem that the number of people suffering from allergies, hay fever being the most common, is on a rapid upward incline. Caroline gets not only hay fever but also has allergies to certain foods. My mum also had a serious allergy to pollen and like Caroline sometimes came up in whelps. Benedryl one a day tablets seem to help but are not always 100% effective unfortunately.
I would seem to be immune to hay fever and other allergies, I put some of this down to not being wrapped in a plastic bubble as a child

I've suffered with hayfever for years since i was about 10 years old , I used to get Terfenadine prescribed for many years and that worked really well but then they found it was really bad for you so i struggled to find anything that would help , now on Fexofenadine from the doctor which knocks it back but doesn't stop it altogether.
Funnily enough I lived in Canada for a year and when I went to the Docs for my annual prescription he said that many Brits don't suffer with hayfever there and its was relatively unheard of despite lots of grasses and sure enough not a peep of a symptom , the docs opinion was it was linked to air pollution as much as pollen and perhaps he was right

Give Jez at Horsham Dev a call , I know he has had a lot of success with various HR ecu niggles

How do you feel when you wake up? As in, the instant you come round?
Every single time I wake up, it's like sudden panic. Gasping. Heart racing, 1000 thoughts per second and that's it then. I'm up.
It takes me forever to get to sleep and generally I'm knackered all day.
That can be a symptom of sleep apnea so well worth chatting to your doc
Back to the OP , its a sad fact that many of us struggle with sleep as we get older can be lots of reasons , just in case you didnt see it , this program on sleep on iplayer is well worth a watch

Hi there
Am seriously considering purchasing a Mark 2 Nismo but am slightly concerned with the feedback re the clutch. Basically how long does it take to get used to the clutch's high biting point and ensuring smooth upshifts from 1-2-3?
I am coming from a VW DSG gearbox . Occasionally drive manual cars but only small engined cars.
Thanks
Have you driven one yet ? Best bet to try everyone is different , I was never a fan of the manual box in the 370z but many like it
-
Hope it gets sorted for you .
-
Where are you located , plenty of specialists will be able to confirm the diagnosis and likely sort it much cheaper , I very much doubt this is to do with the o2 sensors
-
I can confirm you can fit a roof box as well

We have a Prius but cant really help re - luggage cover as we just pop it out if needs be. You could just cover the stuff in the boot with a cheap tarpaulin or even get the rear windows tinted
You have the areas at the sides in the boot which lift out with tabs and the storage compartment under the boot floor which can be lifted out if needs be for more room (the spare wheel is under there)
Dunno what part of Surrey you are in but in near Newbury , you are welcome to come and bring stuff to trial fit in ours if it helps

I think you may want to look into the complicated process of recycling a lithium battery, the dangers surrounding it and the environmental impact, least of all the cost, they dont even bother with the lithium as is 5x more costly than mining it.
Perhaps you should , plenty of articles on the web (no doubt funded by big oil) stating this kind of stuff but take a look at what manufacturers are ACTUALLY doing with old batteries
http://blog.caranddriver.com/bmw-i3-batteries-to-be-recycled-for-home-use/
Many EV car batteries here today have a life of 10-15 years in a car then a further 20 years in another application before requiring recycling
-
If you paid via credit card you probably could have cancelled
I've used them many times without any issue found them ok to be honest but they did send me the wrong parts and it wasn't easy to sort that out

what he said^
Oil gauges cant be trusted really the sensors are flaky on most Nissans get it checked with a separate gauge if you are worried but Nissan state 14psi at hot idle

Cobalt is not rare it just hasnt been economic to extract it. Bit like coal in this country , we didn't run out it just became cheaper to buy it from Poland.
In 10 years time the batteries we use will be radically different anyhow
As for CGT thats easy , you just sell off a little each year and have a damn good holiday

20mpg
on a good day -
Had this before with lithium its largely fed by people stockpiling it to make money further down the line when prices increase , no doubt they will find alternative sources but that wasnt worthwhile when you can get children to mine it cheaply in the Congo , once prices rise to a level then other companies will invest in infrastructure to extract it. In the meantime there may be shortages though

Good call on the Superb but it would probably be a high mileage diesel and they arent the most dynamic
Alternatively the Octavia VRS , should average about 35mpg day to day and fairly fun to drive
Or the higher spec L&K which is easily mapped to 200+ and leather seats are much more kid friendly
-
Surprised the bearings have failed so quickly , did you use genuine ?
-
I am sure the police. secret service etc could do far more....but for the PC namby panmby constraints that we have allowed various governments to put on them, yet we are the ones standing around throwing blame and what if's.
ECHR stops most of what we could do

you cannot lock someone up for years because they went to the middle east.
Ok, so how about anyone KNOWN to the security services, as per the Manchester bomber be given a simple choice, if you go to the middle east, you have your passport revoked?
There are some countries that you shouldn't be able to go, no aid workers, no wanna be ISIS fighter , no-one .

When driven normally my XFR gives about this , much better than my 370's
When driven sedately you can easily get into the low 30's , some people reckon 34mpg on a trip but i havent managed that

Actually this was the kit he bought as he already had a fogger and jets

My mate bought his from Summit racing in the US , but he already had a bottle
something like this

Buy a kit from the US , you'll save a fortune . My mate just bought a Nitrous Express kit and it was less than £500
200hp is a big hit you will likely find you will need much less than that, big hits like that come with a whole host of issues and you WILL burn up parts while you learn how to handle it
-
I have run nitrous for many years on turbo charged and n/a engines , the beauty of nitrous on a turbo engine is the way it drops the intake temps, it will also help spool the turbos
Just helped a mate with his install and set up on his stock R33 GTST auto , it ran a 14.9 stock and within a few runs we had it down to 13.3 with only a very little bit of gas
Can the Haltech run the solenoids or will you run a standalone system ?
Personally I'd be temped to run a very simple single fogger set up wired via a clutch switch so that the nos comes in off the line , you will find even small hits like 25 hp will have a dramatic impact on your times

Some insurers do give a discount , I've had £50 off from one and £30 from another so my camera is paid for many times over , in fact getting this footage got me £200 which I split with the Supra driver because I'm a nice guy
I have a Blackvue front and rear facing one now and its excellent it has wi-fi so I can see/save/upload footage on my phone , I used to have a cheaper G1W in my daily and they are ok but you can certainly see the difference between it and a more expensive one
