Just to throw another one in the mix, just got the HTC touch HD with o2. It is the latest windows mobile device, has gps built in so I have Tomtom on it. 600 mins, 500 texts and unlimited browsing for £31 a month and the phone was £-40 (cashback)

Cheers for your help guys, Brakes are in and am going to wait until tonight to bed them in. Just a quick question. When I had the wheel off and the pads out, the brake disk was loose. Just out of curiouslity to change the disk do you just remove the caliper and the disk slides off?

Cheers for that guys, makes a lot more sense now.. Any one know the best paint code to spay my wheels?

I am replacing my front brake pads tomorrow and have changed brakes before and read the guide on here. What is the purpose of copper grease and where do you apply it? While my front wheels are off, any good product to use to get them spotless before I respay where I scratched the inside of the lug nut taking my wheel off before?? What is the best colour match from halfords for my wheels? (standard wheel) Going to halfords on the way home to buy what I need.

No, I am spartacus.... oops, wrong thread ;-)

Ah ok, thought it may be the same issue with my speaker as I have when playing CD's. Dont want to bang the console too hard ;-)

Just put a bluetooth adaptor in the zed, is it supposed to be on both speakers as it is just on my drivers said at the moment Thanks

I always give the benefit of the doubt, although the advert of "one female owner" in my mind is not a good incentive to buy it. Have you seen the state of the cleaning equipment those guys use, would hate to seee the switl marks on a kuro after being cleaned by those guys.

Just parked next to a banana Z in Guildford sainsburys, was an 05. She didn't return a smile or a wave from a fellow z owner,didn't have a stubby but the worst of all the car was being washed by one of the carpark guys with all his grubby cloths and bad washing products

Will look them up, I spend half my time in Guildford as my girlfriend lives there....

After cleaning my baby I found another scrape on my front bumper that I didnt do grrr.. Anyway...My front bumper is horrible with stone chips and the scrape... What is the cost of spaying the whole of the front bumper? anyone know a good place in the south?

I am "working" from "home" ;-)

If you have to resort to smashing a window it is cheaper and easier to replace the windscreen than a door window..

This program and Road Wars infuriates me. A guy/girl is uninsured, no tax and no MOT gets a £200 fine. Where is the incentive to be a law abiding citizen when it is cheaper not to...

Shame we cant fit bull bars.... The amount of cyclists I see go through red lights in london and the amount wihout lights in bmouth, then the motorist gets slammed for running over something he cant see.

I dont know why it is automatically the drivers fault. For example this story: http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/2010661 ... f_cyclist/ Yes she was in the wrong, but he cycled through a red light. When someone is knocked over on the road why is it wrong to ask why they were crossing the road when a car is coming?

Interesting reading the comments on the bbc article, the usual people saying dont speed and dont get fined. Yes, hitting someone at 35MPH is bad but it is worse to hit them doing 30mph becuase I was watching my speedo rather than the road.

im in poole, dorset so bit of a trek, but thanks anyways Hey there, i am in poole as well, i had mine done for £60 a corner I think, still have his card somewhere I think

I asked for Level 3 service and was told they are for 2L or less cars.

How many clips and what length bolts for the plenum. Dont suppose you sell the little metal clips that clip the front bottom spoiler to the bumper do you? I lost a couple when I mounted a grass verge...

Copied this from the times: 1. Trucking ridiculous It was a normal day for truck driver Michael Collins, who was on his way to collect a skip in London’s Belsize Park. But then, without warning, his truck lurched as the road beneath him collapsed. Unbeknown to Michael, a burst water main had caused the road to give way, creating a deep hole where the front wheels of his 17-tonne truck became stuck. While he was waiting for his lorry to be rescued, a passing parking attendant appeared. To the astonishment of nearby residents and despite Michael’s protests, she stood on tiptoe and whacked a parking ticket on the trucks windscreen, uttering the immortal words, “You can appeal”. 2. Bad news comes in trees If a tree fell on your car and you escaped death by mere inches, you might think that you would get some sympathy from your local council. Sadly, no such compassion was forthcoming when one family suffered just such a fate under the parking Taliban of Wychavon District Council Nicky Clegg from Stoulton, near Pershore, was driving along the Bromwich Road with her 82-year-old mother and her 11-year-old son when without warning a tree crashed on her car. Miraculously they escaped death but the car ended up with a crushed bonnet, smashed windscreen and broken wing mirrors. Police dragged the wrecked car to the side of the road and told Nicky that it was fine to leave it there and she could pick it up the following day. But when Nicky came back the next day, she was astonished to find a parking ticket on the window. 3. Feeling run down? Think that being badly injured is an excuse to park illegally? Think again. When Nadhim Zahawi of South London was thrown from his scooter and left lying in the road with a broken leg, a heartless warden from Lambeth Council slapped a £100 ticket on his bike. 4. Horse play You leave your horse in the street and what do you expect to find when you get back? A small pile of manure perhaps, but not a parking ticket. Amazingly, however, this is exactly what happened to Robert McFarland, a retired blacksmith from Yorkshire when he left his trusty steed, Charlie Boy, for a few brief moments. On the ticket, the over-zealous warden had written the vehicle description as “brown horse”. 5. Daylight robbery It started off just like any other day for Fred Holt when he went to his local bank. But the ordinary day turned extraordinary when two masked men burst into the bank brandishing an axe and a machete. In the terrifying raid, the robbers held a young cashier hostage with an axe to her throat. Customers were forced to lie on the floor as staff were made to hand over cash. If being a victim of this horrifying event wasn’t bad enough, 77 year old Mr Holt had parked his car nearby, and by the time he had given a statement to police officers, his car had been there for 20 minutes longer than allowed. Mr. Holt was not worried because the police officers who interviewed him said that traffic wardens had been told about the raid and asked not to issue tickets. But when Mr Holt got back to his car he was astounded to find a £30 parking ticket pinned to his windscreen – the reason: overstaying his allowed time in the street. 6. Bloody ridiculous “Do Something Amazing Today” runs the slogan of the National Blood Service. In Sutton, a traffic warden did just that, though not along the lines of “Save a life. Give Blood” that the advert intended. For four years, a mobile National Blood Service truck has visited Sutton, parking at the same spot outside a group of offices, so volunteers can give blood. But seeing the good citizens of the town turn up and exchange a pint of the red stuff in return for a cup of tea and a biscuit was too much of a temptation for one parking attendant. Whilst those inside were giving blood, the parking attendant gave in his own unique way – in the form of a parking ticket. Sutton council eventually waived the fine, saying the parking attendant had made a simple error of judgment. Or to put it more aptly, a rush of blood to the head. 7. Bus(ted) Picture the situation. You’re a bus driver. You’re driving your bus. You see a queue of people waiting for you at a bus stop. You pull over to pick them up. So far, so good. But wait, not everyone wants to buy a ticket. This chap in the queue wants to give you one instead… This was the extraordinary scene that greeted Manchester bus driver Chris O’Mahony, when he stopped his number 77 bus to let people on. He and his passengers looked on in absolute disbelief as the Manchester City Council parking attendant joined the queue to prepare the parking ticket, deposited the £40 notice and then walked away. The bus driver’s crime? Parking in a restricted area. The attendant said he'd been told to issue tickets to buses that park. Manchester City Council bosses cancelled the ticket and ordered the warden to be retrained. Hopefully, as something other than a warden. 8. Heart attack Whilst David Holmes was driving along he felt chest pains. So he immediately drove himself to hospital. When he arrived he was forced to park on the road and was treated for a heart attack. A kind nurse left a note on the windscreen saying it was an emergency and that David's daughter would pick the car up later. Despite the note, a pitiless parking attendant slapped a parking ticket on David’s car. Despite an appeal to the local council, the £40 fine was not cancelled. 9. Welcome to Warwickshire Warwick is a beautiful part of England but it had no appeal for one man who received a parking ticket from the local Council. Krister Nylander was dismayed to receive a parking ticket in the post for parking in Warwick. But he knew the parking ticket was wrong because he lives in Sweden and had not visited England since he was 16. The offending vehicle was his 20-ton snowmobile which had barely ever left his barn, let alone Sweden. How did it get the ticket? We’ve absolutely no Ikea. 10. Driving you crazy Driving instructors are used to the trials and tribulations of teaching people to drive. Three point turns, as we all know, can be very tricky to learn. So spare a thought for the driving instructor who got a CCTV parking ticket when his pupil stalled whilst attempting a three-point turn and could not restart the car. The offence? Parking more than 50 centimetres from the kerb.

I had that at the previous place where I got it serviced. No longer use them now. They claimed that they had managed to get all 5 ltrs in. I always make a point now of asking for the can back with the leftover in. I pressed the girl after they said they had used it all and she went back and got the empty can. I dont know how they used 5L in a 4.7L car
