Keep me posted on dates guys, I might be up for this if it doesn't clash with anything else.

Chavalicious baby! Any joy on the insurance yet Nixy?

Thanks also John, again much appreciated

Doesn't look like its got a Thatcham alarm mate (only mentions it on the immobiliser), you may struggle to get insurance without one. That said, it would only be a couple of ton to get one put on, but may be another bargaining tool

This is definitely something I have to do at some point. But not with my brakes in the state they are now!! Think you can hire stuff over there can't you just for the Ring?

Could be worse - my mates ex managed to superglue her teeth together! Reason, she tried to bite the plastic end "nipple" off a new tube. Still, at least it gave the doctors in A&E a laugh, and me - for many years to come!!!!!

Makes me sick all this

As far as I know the UK Z has a CAT 1 alarm as standard (I could be wrong on this, it has been known!) First question, does the JDM also have this? Secondly, this has just struck me while answering one of Nixy's threads: Does a CAT 1 alarm have to have an annual service? If so, why haven't Nissan mentioned it in their literature or ever mentioned it to me at service? The reason I ask is a while ago (ok, like 8/9 years) I had a car that I got a CAT 1 fitted to. This came with a service book which had to be stamped every year when the alarm had its service. This was explained to me as a requirement of the Thatcham rules relating to CAT 1 devices; this could, however, have been utter bo*****s from the fitter & sales. Now, if it was crap then when my car was stolen why did the insurers ask for the service record for the alarm? So, are we leaving ourselves open to insurance claim knock backs on theft if the alarm isn't serviced?

Is the CAT 1 standard on JDM? If it isn't, there will be a separate book for the alarm Nixy (just like the service book for the car) which should be stamped up as having an annual service. Which has just given me a thought (I'll stick up in a separate thread so I'm not crashing yours!)

Most car speakers would be the same at 4ohms though. Should still work though regardless, even at 8ohms (home speakers). All it would mean is that it wouldn't be as loud as the resistance is greater.

Certainly sounds aerial related to me. Is the aerial plugged into the back of the HU? Normally (although I'm going back a bit, it may have changed) this would be a separate (and quite chunky) lead, not part of all the rest of the connectors. Just check this hasn't come loose or isn't plugged in at all. I know you've checked them all but it would seem to be quite a coincidence that you removed the harness and it hasn't worked since.

Nice moves mate, decent time too . Willy I work with did it, he said it was like running through treacle at times with the amount of people there. Haven't heard of the walk but it sounds like hell!!

I suppose that depends on the disability

Suits you Zedrush

That really annoys me that. Saw 2 girls, both about 25, striding out of a BM the other week parked up on double yellows. There certainly wasn't anything disabled about either of them.

Had some p****d games won some, lost most. Got more drunk. Played a fair bit at Christmas with the missus' family but we played for shots. Only the winner missed out. That was a very bad day. Its fair to say by the end I wasn't very well, although I put that down to a dodgy bit of turkey .

Cheers H5, much appreciated also. Yeah would be quite a sight wouldn't it - a mini meet to see a Beetle Can you imagine the poor womans face

Fair play mate, he went to the Worlds for GB around 10/11yrs ago and used to do absolutley shedloads up & down the country so thought you may have come across him. Silly sod is, as we speak, doing the coast to coast ride - West to East. Just spoke to him, he says he's got a sore arse

Be sorry to see you go Beavis, I hope that it doesn't have to come to that.

Fellas you're all stars I really appreciate your offers. Change of plan, the missus has had a call this morning and is going to be in London on Wednesday now anyway, reckon its only around 30mins on the train out of London so she's gonna swing over there and give it the once over. If its worth a look past that we can then get down over the weekend. Thanks again guys - really good of you all. If I can return the favour in any way just let me know.
