Well I finally got my little fiesta back yesterday. I was glad to get rid of my courtesy car, much prefer my zetec s to the new fiesta!! I must admit that they have made a real effort, the rusty rear wings have been replaced and waxoyled and the heater has been repaired. Although now the join with the back bumper is out and my rear view mirror was on the floor, I'm happy. Neither of these problems was covered by the warranty and it has offset the cost of replacing the gearbox. Well done gordons! :clap:

Thought it wasnt available until Friday but they said they are in stock & should be delivered tomorrow :hyper::hyper::hyper: No need for any anti Apple comments on here - please refrain from trying to dampen my excitement with crappy comments!!! :donatello:

Not seen any broadband threads on here and thought it was a good idea to see whos the best broadband supplier in the UK, I`ve been with BT for years and just realised I`m paying far too much for a crap slow broadband service. Obvioulsy depends on area but at the moment I`m getting 1.4mbs and its costing me £40 per month!!!! My new option is FTTC broadband, which is basically a fibre optic cable that has been installed to your local bt cabinet and then runs the old copper cable to the house, this will get me 28mbs for about the same money Fibre optic to my house is not available yet so I will have to live with slowish connection so.... what have you got…

anybody got any tips on how remove a scratch from a windscreen? The previous owner of my mums car must have had something sharp caught in his wiper. T cut doesn't touch it and my other half has hidden his dremell thing just cos I was going to give it a " quick rub over" !! :glare:

my son and his lovely fiancé have been waiting to be parents for the last 9 months ,and for me and my wife to become grandparents, the pregnancy was flawless and so on Wednesday baby Maisie was delivered by emergency c section , the baby was distressed ,the cause being the cord twice round her little neck , this had reduced blood and oxygen supply and poor Maisie was born with no heart beat, she was revived by a fantastic medical team at the James cook hospital in Middlesbrough but it took 7 minutes to get a pulse, Maisie is now in intensive care where she has been for he last three days of this nightmare, her whole body has taken a massive hit, heart , kidneys , bowels e…

just a quick tip - not sure if many people realise: on a pay monthly contract phone, once you are out of contract the provider should if possible unlock your phone for free. I read about this on tinterweb a while back & phoned O2 today to get my iphone unlocked so I can pass it on. quick call & they are sending a code that you put into itunes that will unlock to any network next time I plug in. they said they can unlock most phones like this now once you are out of contract. Just though I would share :)

I've never organised a courier to go and pick up something so can anyone give me some advice on how to go about it? It's a set of wheels that are in Derby so I don't fancy the 10 hour round trip to go and collect them lol

I'm not one to sling mud about a national company in public but these cowboys are just doing my bloody head in.....:angry: I had previously been subscribed to Tiscali's broadband service for years and never had any problems with the service. But ever since Tiscali and TalkTalk merged, my internet connection has gotten progressively slower. And slower. And slower.:angry::angry: So much so that viewing a simple YouTube video (or trying to) makes me want to put my fist through the screen. It's painful - each frame ticks by, stopping every 2 seconds to buffer. And even then, if I dare try to open a web page in another tab at the same time, it just cannot cope. And I…

Very lucky Police Officers, some say they may have deserved it. LOL :w00t:

Couldnt resist this one! :)

I just stumbled across this on ebay:- BMW E21 323i Baur Cabrio http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1981-BMW-323i-Baur-convertible-black-/180723739126?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a13f969f6 I know its expensive and mint etc, but my mum's partner has one in his garage, been parked up for 10-15 years. Its a little dusty, but generally its pretty good condition! Best part is, sounds like he could do with it out the way, and I'm sure beer tokens would buy it! So is it retro-cool? The Baur was a special edition, combining targa top or full convertible. A fresh paint job, good overhaul, and maybe a cheeky nissan engine and brake/wheel set up could …

Bit of a crazy and loud car but was wondering where the engine is from? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-gloria-japanese-boso-skyline-fairlady-350z-supra-silvia-chaser-/130584349606?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1e676f0ba6

Does anyone know where I can get acryllic speaker grilles these days. I had some about 8 yr ago but cant for the life of me remember where I got them, and cant seem to find any. For illustration - these are what am after.. (my old Celica install)

http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/3295714.htm how much fun would that be.

From the link below has anyone ever repaired one of these, are the panels bolt on etc. Looks like a lot of car for not a lot of money, I know these cars can suffer from reliability issues but this looks like a good project as long as there isnt any chassis damage. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-TVR-CERBERA-4-2-REBIULT-ENGINE-/220816870648?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3369b60cf8#ht_1252wt_1396 Any input welcome guys. Cheers John

Not Zed related, but everyone likes to moan and bitch about crap service, but what happens when we get a good service !! Its called http://www.rockauto.com !! Ordered my Radiator for my Dodge Ram on Friday 30th Sep at 7.30pm. Delivered to my work with UPS on Tuesday 4th Oct at 9.30 am, tracked all the way !! As there are a few American owners/users on here, I thought it may be worth mentioning ? Alan...................

It has just occurred to me that I have never advertised a car/van for sale!! All my previous vehicles have been swapped, traded or part ex'd. Either that or sold to friends. I am 35 ffs :helpsmilie:
