  1. i always thought that 1 property was responsible for each boundry fence. i.e. the boundary on the left and at the rear of our garden is our responsibility, so repairs and replacement are down to us, but the fence boundary to the right is my neighbours responsibility. this also means its down to me to weed and keep the path clear that runs down the left of our fence. with regards to your issue i would suspect it will need chasing ask for an update. until the land has been signed over i don't think you have alot of rights. if it was me i would be tempted to strim it and put down some weed killer but apart from that its going to be a wait and see game.
  2. i think i have 1 spare 20mm wheel spacer with nuts in the garage, and one dead spacer with nuts.back in the day when i had them on my old zed. I had to have 1 cut off as it had welded itself on. think i still have them in the garage.
  3. its nice when you have the opportunity to use an open track day to test these things or a private road
  4. diesels don;t need a cat to pass an MOT and they are very easy to pull more power out of. the ford above is meant to be a very good car, and great to drive. lots of pull, all the mondeo ST trimmings but can do at least 45 to the gallon not a bad compromise. as for noise i've heard alot of these new diesels can sound quite fruity, and alot less agrigultural. i think they are better for sound if they have more than 4 cylinders. i don't know if the modeo has one, but if it does a DPF removal is also worth doing, they kill MPG and with them gone there is more power and better MPG (DPF = diesel particle filter (its designed to stop smoke from the exhaust it filters it out, and then on a long drive the engine purges the filter with fuel and burns it off)) again not needed to pass an MOT. and when they break which they often do they aren't cheap to replace, but a DPF removal is alot cheaper.
  5. thanks stew, the post of trial mod could be used for prolonged period people might do it for 6 months to a year before being promoted to a more permanent position. it would be a safe way of seeing who actually has the staminer to keep going. i think alot of people liek the idea of being a mod; but given the opportunity might tire of it after a few weeks and end up being no use after all. this method could sort the wheat from the chaff.
  6. i'm interested to see how you compare the mx5 to the mr2 roadster as you've driven both on track. i like the 5 but i honestly think the 2 would be a cracking track toy.
  7. good work BM, i would have possibly given it a coat of laquer as you've thinned the top coat.
  8. Having had some time to think about this i had some other ideas that might or might not be good. all the ideas are linked so you need to see them as a whole and not as individual points. Idea Number 1: A hiring section on the forum Why not introduce a hiring section on the forum, where current positions like REO can be advertised so people know what needs doing; this could also be used for Mod searching as well. if there is a post available people can add to that post showing their interest and add some kind of CV or application letter explaining why they think they would be suitable for the position (things like age, time free/available, possible future ideas for the forum etc). other members can see what they offer. but the final choice comes down to the team. this would also give an opportunity to have a moderator post section for all those that would like to be considered can throw their hat in. it doesn;t mean that the team have to appoint anyone from there and there may not be a need for anyone at the time, but it would gie the team a selection of people to choose form who would like to do more. Idea number 2: Trial Moderator position If there was a need for a new moderator the team could select a group of people from the hiring section who have shown interest. they could have their status changed to "trial moderator". they don't need to have any extra access to the behind the scenes section for the trial period, but what they would have to do is things like using the report post function; but in it they should expalin what they would do if they were a mod. advantages are that the mod team will have problems highlighted quickly and can deal with them straight away. they can see how those people would deal with the situations but they don;t have to relinquish any powers. if at the end of the trial period someone shows potential they could be upgraded to full mod position with all the trimmings. or if the team ae not happy they can say thankyou but no thankyou. put the people back to normal staus and try some others. not sure what people think but i thought they would good ideas.
  9. i occasionally use parent and child parking spaces, but only after 9PM my reasoning is the little sprogs should be in bed by then so parents don't need a special space at that time. and i rank people who park across 2 bays at the same level as those who park in disabled bays, only to$$ers take up 2 spaces if you can;t park properly buy a smaller car. if i can get my barge of a car into those smaller spaces then so can everyone else.
  10. good find, great little units
  11. most people on here are more posers than drivers have fun, snetterton is one of my favourite tracks to drive on
  12. I've been wating patiently for him to buy a zed, this is how long its taken
  13. perosnally i would stick with pioneer or alpine as the adapter are readily available for fitting in a zed. as for i hate bose, it should read i hate clarion as the bose stuff is all rebranded clarion
  14. i'd like to thank beavis for being the big spoon on the wales trip and letting me be the little spoon
  15. i'd like to thank ricey, SMD for keeping me entertained and neilP for being such a good sport
  16. this could be nissans entry in to rallying
  17. would you like salad and some dressings to go with that hat, or do you prefer your baseball cap raw? i want to see video evidence of you munching on it
  18. i just got this photo evidence sent to me in the post we may need to get a club ransom together? they've not given me a location yet or who's holding him
  19. most garages will read codes for a small charge. all he needs is the error code
  20. my engine light just came on whats wrong?
  21. he needs to get his code read, then it will be easier to diagnose form there. either use the flashing light method, or if he gives a location, there might be a member near by with a code reader.
