Wow Dave, you really loaded then To say get the ring and you'll pay the bill with no limit means she might come back with one of Liz Taylor's rocks Seriously, many congratulations - and theres no doubting, 2nd time round you make the same mistakes

Time for a change to the title then

Thread locked as requested

The existing exhaust all fits in the 370 with no problems (been there and done it) - just suggest you take some big strong plastic bags to put the sections in and old sheets etc to protect your trim

Can you live with the damage on the ST and use it as it is? In which case use the £1550 (or whatever you can get) for ZED bits

Bad news swooper, hope you get it sorted. Some info if you have not already checked: http://www.kent.gov.uk/roads_and_transp ... amage.aspx Some advice here ( a dedicated pothole website) http://www.potholes.co.uk/claims/step_by_step_guide

I thought I had been Dave when I saw the white screen

Oh yes, very much at home All gone now - must have been one last blizzard to clear the screen And I got the answer "I've broken it"

Rumour has it the eye of the snow storm centred on Chesterfield

You were lucky to see that much - just all white here

Bloody snow - couldn't see a thing this afternoon

You might wish to review the price and indicate what has changed on the car since you first posted your car was for sale some 15 months ago As many have found, dealers (especially Nissan) are unlikley to offer a sensible trade-in value on a moded ZED such as yours. You should do better going to an independent, but I would suggest you try pistonheads or autotrader where you may find more interest if none pops up from your latest post on here.

As Dave says, get it cheked pronto - sounds like something is bent and not only will the handling be strange, if not dodgy, she/you will be wearing the tyre(s) out badly.

Good question Graham. No need to put my name on the raffle list Stephen, just happy to contribute

Bottom line is the bigger the empire/budget they manage, the fatter the top cats salaries will be and nowhere is this more rife nowadays than in public services. It gets my goat when you hear "they earn £250k a year" or whatever. When you think of what little nurses (for example) "earn" doing shift work and dealing with the traumas they have to face most days can you imagine the fat cats doing that - certainly not for a tenth of what they get given for number crunching Climbs off soapbox

Having worked in Local Government until 2002, I was pleased to get out having seen what is supposed to be a public service largely ruined by the belief that bringing in management that had business background would mean greater efficiences. In the '90's senior management salaries started going through the roof on the basis they had to be paid those sums to get the 'expertise' attracted. But most had little, if any actual related public sector experience but were very good at the 'talking the talk'. Their briefs were simple - make as much money from the 'services' Council's were under a duty to supply and ditch anything that cost money. A huge salary gulf emerged between those at the coal face and those excutives sitting in plushly appointed offices, receiving salaries close to, or which even better the Prime Minister. Totally demoralising for those staff committed to public service beliefs and working their butts off for relative peanuts, although unfortunately it has to be said there are the nine-to-fivers and do the minimum in Council's who once they have their foot in the door are virtually impossible to get rid with HR and the PC brigade laying down so many do's and don'ts surrounding employment. But there again I suspect all large employers inevitably 'carry' a proportion of nine-to-fivers and do the minimum. My eldest son is LG and is tearing his hair out over just such a situation - but in his case the target set for his clown of a boss who has no idea about the service they talked themself into, is totally impossible to achieve and amounts to little more than that's persons £175k salary! Guess what I am trying to say, having read some of the anti council comments on this thread, is please don't generalize about public service in the sense that all who work there are bad. There are a lot sticking it out (I don't know how) that remain dedicated to the concept of public service and will often work far more hours than they get paid. Not sure what the current percentage is, but when I was in LG, Council Tax accounted for about a quarter of Council spend (excluding the police and others), with the vast majority coming each year from Central Government allocation through other taxation. So when you next get a visit from a politican seeking your vote ask when they are going to start running your local Council to benefit the local community and not as a retreat for overpaid excutives who are responsible for introducing measures that otensibly are money-making/saving ideas for the Council but in reality are often no more than covering their own existence at the community's expense!

Welcome to the forum Have a look under the "zeds for sale" section to help see what you get for your money but, as an example if you are looking for the latest 350 spec and fancy and a fairly rare colour: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=43867 (providing the owner has not withdrawn the sale )

As Stew mentions, if the headings included the subject concerned it would help others when later searching for something that might be quite useful in the thread but gets lost under a clueless intro Yes, as Mods we could change the headings but self-moderation is by far the best option

Whole load of blub about bulbs there
