Nope, I sold mine to member Spatt on here last year, i'm zedless nowadays. Spatt lives somewhere in Manchester so it could well have been him.

Well im pushing 20 stone, so I need this kind of food to keep me in shape.

You're welcome.

I have a hungry horse over the road from me. I think i might have to pay them a visit.

But did he like the Jaaaaaaag? It's all about Leon's rear end. So smooth.

Well I finally got my wheels fitted, after having the inner face milled out to fit the larger hub on the car. Im pleased with how they look. On the downside, the car still wont start, and the battery is fully charged. I can hear the solenoid clicking, but the motor doesn't engage. I need to do some googling to figure out the next steps...

Oh also, i bought a battery charger from Aldi this morning - £13 and it's a really good bit of kit! Got the battery on charge now. It was reading 11.75 volts while on the car, although i've not got a drop tester to check the Amps. Will give it a charge and try it again.

Huh? Nope i've bought this mainly for the the amount of fuel/oil leaks i have, and if i ignite any of it whilst grinding something! Plus having seen Darren B's small welding fire

I've just bought Alien Isolation today. Played it for about an hour. Really good so far. Incredibly atmospheric and cinematic. The sound is superb. However it's not the game i thought it'd be! I assumed it was an FPS, but an hour in and i've not even had a weapon yet. It reminds me slightly of Mirror's Edge (without the parkour). It's biggest gimmick or selling point is the fear factor... it is very suspenseful and i can feel my heart racing when im playing it! Not my normal cup of tea but it's so well done i'm sticking with it.

:lol:

Just popped into Mercedes and picked up the repair panel i ordered last week (£100.03). Looks pretty cool. Also ordered a fire extinguisher which arrived today. Lastly i bought a multimeter from Toolstation to help diagnose my non-starting issues. Oh, and whilst in the Mercedes dealers, i noticed they had a current model G in...!!

Yeh had the dizzy cap off and it looks sweet. Tomorrow i'll give everything a blast with the WD. I reckon it's the starter so i'll soak that.

Wow. Thats fantastic.

Bollocks. Just came to start the car tonight and it's dead as a dodo. I've not started it in 2 weeks, since i pressure washed the engine. Stupidly, i didnt have the engine running whilst cleaning it (although i did spend 4 hours cleaning). On turn of key i can hear the fuel pump prime, but then on turning all the way i just get one loud click and nothing else. I've checked the fuses, checked all cables are secure, inspected the dizzy cap, earths seem okay, given the started motor a few whacks with the hammer... all without any change in symptoms. Worryingly i found out tonight the starter motor appears to be right on the bottom of the engine, by the bottom of the bell housing on the gearbox... and this is where i concentrated a lot of the water whilst pressure washing. Am i likely to have killed the started motor?? Are they recoverable?? On a positive note, i got my milled spacers back, and got the 2nd wheel on tonight, and it looks badass!

Thanks mate. Always wondered.

The finance will flag on HPI check. You can sell privately thoug . But the buyer needs to pay directly to the finance company. So you advertise the car as having outstanding finance and that a balance must be paid to the finance company.... and if there's some equity left then they pay this to you? Man that's a bit transparent, it's like buying a car and being able to see the dealers margins, you'll get beat up on that difference i bet!

Out of interest - If you have a car on PCP and you come to the £15k balloon payment - can you sell the car as-is on autotrader and pay the outstanding finance off when it's sold, or do you need to pay off the £15k yourself before you can put it up for sale? Ekona i guess you had to do one of these 2 options when you sold the 911...?

PM'd.

Hi Nix, Our company will be doing the ticketing system for goodwood from early next year onwards. As a result i got free passes for the full weekend this year. I went down Thursday night with my brother with the intention of spending Fri/Sat/Sun there, but by 4pm Saturday we'd seen and done everything so decided to leave early. It was a fantastic weekend, and if i were to do it again i would make sure i go on the Friday as it's simply too busy after that. Okay the celebs might not be there, but i'd prefer better access to the cars/stands/track than being 15 deep in people trying to see something (which it was by Saturday lunchtime).

That looks like a million dollars. Out of interest, why was the bonnet left on the car and the whole car masked up? Wouldnt it have been quicker to take it off?

My surname is Marshall, but ever since 90's tv show Eerie Indiana in which the main character's name was Marshall, but everyone called him Marz, that has been my nickname too. Marzman is just an extension of that, and i am King_marz on Xbox Live.

Well i had another full weekend working on the car. Progress is slow though. I popped over to Mercedes and ordered the NSR repair panel which i will pickup next week (£100.03 for the panel), and an oil filter (£7). Once home i continued with the tear down. The rear bumper, side strips and the offside wheel arches are now off the car (thanks Leon for the lift with a few stuck screws ). In removing the arches i found a pretty tasty rust patch, so i attacked it with a poly disk and put some Kurust and rust proof primer on it until i can wok on it. I will be fiber glassing it when i get a chance. I also spent a couple of hours on the airbox with a poly disk, removing the rusty old paint, priming, and spraying in satin black. Next weekend will be an oil and coolant change, and continuing with the tear down. Me in my painting mask (looking like sub-zero!) And trying out my new £10 aldi car cover. Yep, it doesnt fit.

That seems overly expensive. When I had the zed I saw MY04ZED for about £400 which I figured is about right. However I've just bought an old M reg to put on the M6 for £250 Guy i bought my zed from had bought UK52 ZED in 2010, costing him £800.

Good race that. I'm dreading this double points rubbish though, i just know it's going to do Lewis out of the championship somehow.
