    NHS

    My last NHS experiences were the births of my daughters. I hear that things change from hospital to hospital, but i was blown away by Derby. Each birthing suite had 5-6 different places to position my wife including the water birth option, an en suite shower room, tea and coffee machines soft lighting and radio I could put cd's in...although I wasn't allowed Slipknot. The midwifes also brought us both toast after, the whole experience was fantastic. I know a nurse in Leicester on the baby ward and she has to do crazy shifts though.
  2. We were given the choice of a 1 series or an astra for a company car, I went with the astra. 1.6 D insignia engine in a car that's a lot lighter and is fully specd I really like it. They're kinda more common than it was march 2016, but I like it. I'm not a fan of the whole crossover thing, despite having a crashqai. The rubbish thing is, the tyres have huge rolling resistance compared to there hatch and saloon counterparts so economy can be poor by comparison.
  3. Maybe a brief hiatus will happen where they will focus on econoboxes. This is what Toyota did early 2000s with the Prius and Auris hybrid. They dropped the entire sporty range until the BR-86. I agree with the popular opinion though about not wanting to see a 4 cylinder turbo in a zed chassis.
  4. I like Nissan's 2017 face. I saw a black micra with it and it looks stunning. The leaf above looks nice too. I like it when evs and hybrids look like normal cars, I was never a fan of the prius, insight, or early leaf, but the auris, crz and that leaf above are nice.
  5. I used a place in burton called facelifts on wharf road. They sprayed and fitted my rear wing for 120 quid and did a good job.
  6. Ahh a whole day....lol. Dunno the gap between human revolution and mankind divided was rather large. I'm kinda hoping all of square soft are working on final fantasy 7 remake although I may need to get rid of the xbox for a ps4 to play it.
  7. Full unit mate complete with retaining clips. At least...mine were. They were what popped up 1st so I copied and pasted the link.
  8. The 1st one got that a bit wrong and is an example of why you should exercise the 'time and a place' rule of being exuberant in cars. Agree with lexx, bellends
  9. I know production costs are the main reason, but I always found artificial gravity hard to swallow on tv series. Expanse at least has free floating space scenes.
  10. Pretty sure the new site isn't compatible as it caused the problems in the first place. The mobile website is ace though, so it (tapatalk) is a tad redundant now.
  11. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-Smoked-Side-Repeaters-For-Nissan-Micra-Cube-Note-Navara-Qashqai-350Z-/350886479150?fits=Car+Make%3ANissan&epid=1329217867&hash=item51b276c52e:g:7ngAAOSw4f5YCHSx
  12. I got a set of of tinted ones off ebay. They're the same across most of the nissan range of that year, Micra, Qashqai etc all have the same so there is no shortage. I think I paid less than £20 delivered.
  13. I like the Deus Ex games, but i'm into Titanfall 2 again at atm. I usually end up with a NFS game at Christmas.
  14. I always found DS9 a bit weird, the whole explore new life and new civilisation seemed a bit redundant on a space station...not much of a trek. But the occasional old face popping in was fun, like Worf. Good shout on Expanse, I quite like it in a gritty space kind of way.
  15. Might give expanse a go. I liked the new ST, but agree with you 2 about the Klingon changes. I sit and tell myself that they've just evolved a bit in NG which is why they look less...spikey. Also looking forward to Stranger Things 2. I've been watching The MIst, it held my attention in a curiosity kinda way, but then I found out there will be no season 2, so I have discarded that part way through. I know it divides opinion, but isn't Grand Tour s2 on soon?
  16. Not sure what the price difference is as my daily is a dirty D, but when I had a T sport I worked out that it'd take 100litres for it to even be £5 more expensive per tank. But it seemed to last longer than standard. I only run my Zed on super/higher octane fuel. In terms of majority I'm fairly sure we all go super where we can, some can't get super (Ireland i think) so use octane boosters.
  17. Mines doing it too, its no surprise, the the slave has slowly failing for a while now. Going to be a new year job for me I think. Unless I get a quiet run at Christmas.

    Coolant flush

    My celica was a pig to bleed, mainly because the expansion tank was lower than the higher coolant channels in the engine.
  19. I have the same head unit as you, and agree that its a little dated by some standards. However, mines not a daily driver so feel it does the job adequately. I do have the standard satnav too, which is also dated. Most seem to go with a touch screen double din compatible with apple play or android, some do both. If you can get it compatible with your phone, you can't go far wrong.
  20. A lot of the time you have to answer a security question with mine, esp if its over a certain amount, or someone i've not traded with before. One of those enter the 3rd 4th and 5th letters jobbies.
  21. I took credit card details over the phone for a customer once, they collected the car next day, rang the bank and had it reversed. Card policy is to auto refund over the phone payments due the lack of security. I too now refuse over the phone c/card payments. Edit: Not trying to stir or prolong and argument, sorry if it comes off that way.
