I don't know what your problem is mate but the majority of posts I've seen from you are overly aggressive and self righteous, there's no need to attack people because you disagree with them. Yep... and still no apology for claiming Meister's post was plagiarised. Are you on commission from KW or something?

Wow, that's like a 70's time capsule. Those front brakes are hilarious. As for the colour...... I guess it's of its time. Is that passenger seat actually usable in anyway?

To get a perfect fit (Pioneer x5800 dab) i ended up using a dremel to elongate the holes in the end plates... fit is perfect now.

Free guns for all school kids... they'll be safer if they're armed

Obamacare gets my bet!

Spot on... amazing how many people were fooled by the disguise... it less convincing than your average scooby-doo villain!

As it's quick/easy, you may as well ensure your pages have a good Description meta tag... see here: https://www.wix.com/support/html5/article/changing-your-page-description

Above advice is exactly right... getting your website high up on search results, on SEO alone, is going to require a disproportionate amount of effort and is not going to realise quick benefit... and even then, said benefit may be minimal compared to other avenues outlined above. If you are able to make a few changes to the website though, it may help a little... I don't have the time right now to do a thorough look at it, but just as a starter, the TITLE tag of your landing web page simply says "painteranddecorator"... which is also the NAME of the page itself (Nb in Chrome, it is the TITLE of the page that appears as the text in the tab at the top of the browser... think other browsers are similar). If you could simply change that TITLE tag (not the NAME of the page itself) to "Painter Decorator | Upton upon Severn | Tewkesbury | Pershore | Malvern" then that would help a little... see here for how to: https://www.wix.com/support/html5/article/changing-your-page-title

Think about what search terms, that when used, should show your site high up... e.g "painter manchester" A quick and dirty is to ensure these words are included in the title of your main page... or the meta description (i dont actually know if Wix lets you control these things). I can take a look tomorrow and give you some pointers... or search for SEO Tips to get some ideas... it is a little bit of a black art though.

I've just had a closer look... mine DOES have the foam insert in! To clarify whereabouts it is, with airbox in-situ and the air filter removed, peer down to the bottom... the foam is NOT on the bottom, but squeezed into a recess at the bottom of the airbox (the recess extends into the rearwards wall of the airbox). Quite hard to spot, actually. Cannot conceive of what it's use might be

I recently removed my airbox to fit flyboys velocity stack... deffo did not have a lump of black sponge/foam in it.

My father in-law has built a few sensors and actuators using arduino boards to monitor for burst pipes, check the level in his "grey water" tank, and to water his plants. He then hooked these all up to a web server so he can check them whilst on his next cruise...... I've had a little poke around and there's no security whatsoever... some spotty Russian hacker is going to totally ruin this years butternut squash harvest!

Wonder if the wrong-way driver's screen was displaying "Warning: Nissan driver taking picture of sat-nav @ 130mph in 11 miles!"

I spoke to the proprietor about a Z but he had just sold it. He proceeded to answer a load of general Z questions and generally give me an education in Zs... must've been on the phone for half hour! He likes his Zs!!! He even offered to help me source my ideal Z. From memory his name is Mark... thoroughly nice bloke!

I bought one off Torqen... he's a dealer on here, looks like his website is down for maintenance right now: http://www.torqen.uk/ Sure it'll be back up soon.

Wow! That colour is stunning.

Use mine lots more in the winter coz it's too cold for the motorbike.

Hmm.. went out again, car cold so no more floppy pedal and lo and behold, no more grumble/rumble under v.hard acceleration. Naturally I had to do LOTS and LOTS of 2nd/3rd gear full-throttle-to-red-line tests, just to be sure Don't know whether to be relieved, or even more worried...

Well, that's a given Grumble/rumble is about the best description... could honestly be mistaken for a bass-line kicking in... if only the Bose amp/sub was good enough to be the source of the noise! Going to wait for the car too cool down, then go out again and see if it's still there... struggle to believe it's an exhaust noise though as it doesn't really come in gradually or change pitch with engine speed... it literally comes on like a switch if the acceleration is aggressive enough, and goes away equally swiftly when the ceasing acceleration. Will go out again and get more info.

Yikes, this is a new one on me, so I'm going to struggle to explain it well... bear with me. During a "spirited" drive, all was well until the car started making a very bassy grumble under hard acceleration. So bassy the grumble that I thought for a while the exhaust was blowing at one of the headers... but having stuck my head under the bonnet and rev'd it, I don't think it is that now. Moderate acceleration is fine, but give it some beans in 1st/2nd/3rd and this grumble manifests. Car had been thoroughly warmed up by the time this started, and due to the warmth was starting to do it's "floppy clutch" party trick... could it be related to this?!? The only thing I can think it could be, is a knackered DMF... but having never experienced a knackered DMF, I'm just guessing. Anyone have any thoughts?

If anyone's interested, I bought the DAS6 Pro kit (see link a few posts up). Unlike the images, it actually came with the handle too. Nice long cord on it as well. Used it today with a light cutting pad and S17 compound to remove suncream fingerprints from my misses black peugeot (wasn't going to pop my DA cherry on my OWN car, I'm not mad!) Worked an absolute treat... very easy to use, and made light work of all the suncream marks... now have very shiny flawless pug (well, flawless paintwork anyway......) Then I took a brave pill, and turned the DA onto my Zed's yellowed headlights... and it sorted them out too! All in all, very happy with the kit.

Apparently the MOTs show its been stuck on 35000 miles for a decade... apart from one year when it accidentally got marked down at 47000 miles, before being "corrected" back to 35000 the next year.....

Do what i do... drive my misses Pug 207 1.4 petrol... you'll be back in love with the Z in no time!

Welcome! Everyone is now expecting you to be 7 foot tall and 20 stone, with biceps like beach balls!

You did the right thing. As others have said, she was steering you down a slow-motion breakup. Been there myself, exact same "move out but we'll continue seeing each other a few times a week"... I didn't go for it either.
