Does anyone know of a shareware or 'free' piece of software that will convert divx to another format? I have been given the first 11 episodes of Lost series 2 but they are divx formatted which my dvd player doesn't like. I need to convert them into another format (vcd/mpeg etc.), but can't find a program suitable. :confused: :confused: :confused: Cheers, Gareth

Probably a long shot but I'm after a non-return valve to go in the fuel line, just wondered if any body had come across something that might suit? Cheers! :wack:

I used to enjoy the "road kill" section! Saw off a MB CLK320 today. OK not exactly fast, but he tried it on and failed miserably! Any more tales of heroics today?

Can anyone please tell me, can you still be fined if your vehicles wheels are not on a box junction,but part of the body of the vehicle is just over hanging. Just recived a penalty notice date of offence 13/01/2006 date of notice 03/02/06. The thing is i was driving a lorry at the time with a folklift on the back, they have put the registration of the folk lift on the notice. The lorry has a different registration to the folklift because i can drive the folklift on the road it has its own tax but at the time it was attached to the lorry and all the wheels were off the ground do i pay or challenge? All because of people cutting in on you and putting you in that sit…

Hello all, My husband is on the forum, (Jay - for those who dont know :) ) and I have just joined as I have bought a black Manual TT. Picking it up on Saturday - This will be the 3rd Zed sat on our drive :dance: Just thought I'd register and say a quick hello.

friend of mine is running this holiday this year to the Maldives, its going to be a good laugh from all the stuff I've seen them organise, thought i'd give people a headsup as the way its selling it will be gone quickly http://www.playawayfromhome.com/

The girlfriend has a mobile phone contract with one of those cash back offers where you have to send a certain number of bills after a certain number of months. Well in her impatience she rushed off her claim a month too early and it has taken 3 months for the company to respond saying her claim was invalid and now the expiry date has passed so they can't do anything. Basically she sent 5 bills instead of 6 and in emails to her they said they wouldn't process the claim until the cut-off date (ie expiry date) so she had no way of knowing that she had done something wrong until it was too late. However in their terms and conditions it says "Your claim will be processe…

My leather arrived today, front and rear sets in a nice beige colour ( front seats with a "Z" logo sewn in , originally was going to have blue / beige, but went for beige instead to brighten up the dark blue interior...... well pleased with them, the rear seats i have just finished, the fronts i'm gonna take a step back and go for it later....... i've also got 100sq ft of the beige leather to retrim the rest of the interior, the roof, boot, door cards etc etc...... i'll post the pics up when finished........ :dance: :dance: Andy.....

Thinking about these for the Zed. Any comments ?? Alan.......

If someones PM box is full how do i know?

Just wondering if anyone would be interested in a club day out to a rolling road somewhere... never been on a RR myself (or my cars lol) but thought it might be a laugh if a few people needing / wanting a session were to rock up at once... also might make for bit of club discount and a few good pics of the zeds waiting to be put through their paces... Open to suggestions of decent places to go as it would clearly depend on the geography of the majority unless there is an uber RR in the uk for us.. anyway just poling for interest at the moment...

I'm sure you've read that I have a very poorly Zed. Bit of a long-shot , but can someone do me a mahoooosive favour? Found an engine for my shagged car. BUT, before I commit to buying it, I need a compression test done on it. Is anyone willing and able to help me out? Would be very very grateful. Thanks Si :)

I finally got round to sorting my wheels out:- got Falken FK451's from http://www.valuetyres.co.uk in the end, 265/35/r18 rears, and 235/40/r18 fronts, £408.00 delivered :) Anyhoo, got the tyres fitted yesterday, and painted the calipers and put the wheels on today (with a little help from Chunk, who popped over to buff my nuts :eek: ;)). And the results are attached :dance: :nana2: :dance: :D I know it looks a bit '4x4' at the moment, but I'm still waiting for my springs from Eibach, so no mickey taking :tongue:

Had the clutch done today and the rear seal as it was leaking. All fine, totally different bite point and almost stalled on first pull off as matey said I would but just managed to catch it, lol. Still, got to put my foot down a bit and she pulls real nice. WoooooHoooooooooooooooooooo :dance: :dance: :dance: I like it, heheheheheheheheheheheheeheheh :bow: :tongue: :smash: :cool: :wack:

before yesterday i'd not driven my Z at all for two weeks as ive been bikin' it to work (to get fit/save petrol but mainly so no-one keys my bodywork). went to drive her yesterday and battery was flat as a pancake (even alarm had stopped working and luckily i could get in passenger-side door using lock) i knew the battery was on its way out anyway - its been in the car since i got it 3 years ago. bought a new one from parker's down the road (£60), took the Z for a nice 'tour' through the countryside and wow what a difference its made. engine more powerful and responsive and the ride just feels so much smoother. new battery is the best mod you can get! :p

Just got this pick from Karen, I was just driving home on 28th December '05. As you can see there is a light covering of snow, but it got a hell of a lot worse by the time I got home. This was the same day that I tested my ABS ;) well it worked, the car didn't stop, but the ABS worked anyway :rofl: Anyone got any of theirs in the snow?

I am fairly sure my one is beyond feasible repair, so am on the lookout for a newie, any advice, pointers or freebies gratefully received :D

Cos I'm fitting loads of goodies soon... but what a friggin hassle to get the bits off. I'll force myself to enjoy it tho, lol

Here are couple of pics of my new Z.
