  1. i think Husky and i worked out a while back that 50% of the forums posts are made up by about the top 20-25 posters.
  2. They are capable cars, but you may find you want to sink alot more money into them to amke them more competitive on the track. those people that run Zeds as track toys have ended up spending alot more money to make the car more track friendly etc like brakes, suspension, lightening the car etc. some have also added TT kits and NOS.
  3. This one is ahhh he's been to glasgow, now he's hard as fecking nails (but still all soft on the inside )
  4. forgot the engine would be running a tuned map no it sounded good wasn't picking holes was just wondering why it was hunting.
  5. is it hunting for an idle? revs were moving around abit? i'm guessing its just becuase its all just been reconnected and the ECU is reset.
  6. i tried sending the teddy to the next person through the computer, but he doesn't fit? after staying with dave the teddy could take no more after spending time north of the border, teddy came back with an attitude
  7. i think i'm just lucky to find an excellent garage clsoe to me with super good prices. sorry for trashing the thread, will teach me not to read what topic its in. regardless of price difference you can gaurentee a top service with abbey and security of mind that the people wh o are working on your car know it inside out.
  8. i'm doing the 3 peaks challenge in June or july i will be on some activity don't know what yet with a load of students
  9. sorry didn't see what area it was in, also worth pointing out labour costs near me are pretty low and not the national average. as said above, call abbey direct its a far quicker method of asking a question.
  10. sign em up Dan, i'm happy to participate
  11. depends on the garages hourly rate, but you'd be looking at about an hour and a halfs work. labour rates of around £30 an hour if that gives you an idea
  12. in your sizes camskill don't do the Vreds, but the Kuhmo KU39 are a little more but not a bad tyre and around the same price, but more tempting to me is the Goodyear eagle F1 GSD3 which seem to be available in your sizes, they are difficult to get hold of, as they stopped making them, but they are a superb tyre if you can find them. i think it was £160 each for the rear and £140 each for the front. alternatively the KU39 were about £100 each hankook 110's also quiet good as well.
  13. some insurance is worth while but alot of it is just easy cash for insurance companies, for instance the electrical stores like comet who try and flog you extended cover etc. if your clumsy then of course its worth while or if you're dishonest then its still beneficial, as i fall into neither catergory i don't tend to take them out. i've had a mobile phones since 2000, and only ever had 1 break on me in 12 years, so mob insurance seems surplus to requirement. but like dan says if your out and about doing a physical job the risk is higher. tyre insurance is a funny one; in 13 years of driving i've had 3 punctures, and all of which were repairable at a cost of £30 each; so i've spent £90 in 13 years, also i don't liek the idea of changing just 1 tyre, so at least with a repair the tread depths will match across the axle.
  14. dismantle and fit, my guess is they take a live feed to the power already running to the controls to feed what ever is illuminating them. i was in the process of sorting out illuminated pre 2004 ones, but i need to finish the hydrographics first.
  15. i'd probably say the yellow stuff pads would be adequate, or if you like ferodo i think they did a ds2000 which was a slight step down from the DS2500
  16. 59 crimes near us, but not really close 840 near the flat we own 0 near my parents who live in the arse end of no where i think thats not to bad

    ZZ3's....

    never used the avons, but they would probably be about the same as the falkens, personally i prefer the falkens.
  18. There is no love in "this" I am not "targetting" you as i suspect you think i am. I only reply on something that is in my eyes extrememly "offensive" that someone seems almost proud of abusing a system. if you post stuff like that expect to get picked up on it. but i tend to feel its not that you've been challenged on it, its the fact that i've done it. if it had been someone else you probably wouldn't be so defensive. I'm guessing you'd be happier if i no longer posted on here any more; i don't know what your issue is with me but i'm sad to inform you i will be sticking around and continueing to post for a looooooooooooong time to come. i personally think i've been quiet diplomatic about it, as i've tried not to let my full personal feelings about this influence my post and make it "personal" as for social acceptance this more than evident; are you acting like someone your not? i'd like to point out you get what you see with me, and as in "real" life i will happily challenge things. your more than welcome to pm me if you wish to discuss this in private. or even copy and paste a moderator in to the messages if you prefer.
  19. Thought you lot might find this funny http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ntDYjS0Y3w
  20. Sad to see you selling up, but it looks like a new exciting chapter is opening up for you car wise and i look forward to seeing the pics
