  1. is this a euphemism for going straight?
  2. from memory, the zed doesn't like LPG few have tried, all I think ended up with ....bang
  3. I have a good bodyshop I use in martlesham, they are also BMW certified, and do a lot of prestige stuff, they've done a few zeds and are very reasonable if that helps
  4. I supply hexis vinyl to members on here.
  5. there are a few on here who it drives them up the wall
  6. shouldn't be a problem
  7. f you're 28 you shouldn't be using txt speak on a forum full of grammar Nazis
  8. one of my friends friends is a manger for kwik sh1t; he keeps trying to persuade me to bring the jag there for tyres and other work, because he can "do me a good deal" I cant break it to him that I'd rather wash me car with pebbles than let a kwik monkey near my car. especially because you need a special machine to do the wheels upside down as I have rare 20" BBS split rims.
  9. I had a look for my area and the good garages I know, don't even appear on there. most of the good garages I've ever used have been by word of mouth, they don't always advertise.
  10. now that's a collection from a man who's never had sex.

  12. we toyed with the idea of a rope tow from cov to blackburn, but you can;t tow on motorways, so we would have to back road it all the way, if we got one of those solid tow mechs (a bar instead of a rope i'd be more enclined. I'm going to google it now. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_801253_langId_-1_categoryId_165551 thing is for the petrol for the jag to tow to blackburn its almost the same to pay for a tow truck
  13. if you're going to buy one just go in with your eyes wide open. most people actual drive a car thats been for a repair, but becuase it was repaired when the car was worth more, the repair was never logged. its only when the price drops enough that the same repair becomes a Cat D, lots of people have hang ups about CAT D cars, but most are financial write offs, and not becuase they are unrepairable. you buy them for less and you sell them for less, yes its harder to shift, but then you paid less to start with.
  14. he may have to look in england for a teaching job, but even then its small picking at the moment in certain subjects. what i would reccomend is for him to look at a 2nd subject. alot of schools are desperate for maths teachers and often offer pe jobs that are mainly maths with a bit of PE. if he's willing to teach something else, especially if he has a little background in that area might give him a boost in employment credentials. drop me a line if you like, been teaching for 9 years now, am also a trainee teaching mentor; happy to offer advice, Thanks for the advice. I tried to talk him into primary education as he has acquired around 200 hours of voluntary work in the last 4 years working with active school's coordinators. One of the head teachers also suggested it to him. primary is a good route if you're a male teacher, there is such a shortage in KS2 that; although there are lots of people applying for jobs, most are women, and so for once, men tend to get the priority and snapped up as they are so needed in that age group. my wife teaches KS1 and she loves it, but in her school there are no male role models, and the kids really benefit from it. the only problem is you have to enjoy teaching that age group. i prefer teaching older kids. the older they get, the more i enjoy teaching them. i find the younger kids tiresome, demanding and a bit wet.
  15. Stop calling him shirley!
  16. i think japseye lost their customer base on here when they tried to say the car was wonky and not their system. personally i wouldn't trust their products and i certainly wouldnt use their manifolds as they are a pig to get to if the welds degrade. the K1 also sounds like arse as well, yes its loud, but its not a refined loud its a raspy, car rattling noise.(with the bungs out) with the bungs in; it looks like a whales vagina
  17. is that painted of a carbon insert? looks good
  18. i think i deleted a couple when try to quote, but if you have a look at the link, there are a couple that get repeat reccomendations. my wifes friend lives up there and i did go to a garage with him, but for the life of me i can;t remember which one and where. but have a search on Yell.com for the names and you should get addresses etc
  19. i wouldn't trust kwik sh1t to put dustcaps on a valve; with the power of google i came up with these quotes from here http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-158883.html Bartram Motors, on Olivet Road at Woodseats. It's just a little two man business in a shed ... but they've always been very efficient Gordon Road Garage, near Sharrowvale Rd. Hunters Bar. D & L Autos off Rutland Rd have always been good Try Guernsey Garage on Guernsey Road, 0114 2580615. It's at the back of Heeley Bottom, arcoss from Dunhelm. Alan's the mechanic. Totally reliable and very reasonably priced. I've been using him for 10 years now and wouldn't go anywhere else. Have also used Snuff Mill in the past and only have good reports. D.G. Autos who are about a 5 minute drive from Banner Cross. They are at the end of Abbey Lane, on the outskirts of Woodseats and I have used them for years. Very honest, fair and competent. 0114 274 6472 is their number
  20. sorry to hear your sad news, i hope he makes a full recovery
  21. No doubt find it is not submissable in the event of an accident or somerging along those lines works well enough for the russians
