Hello guys, Does anyone know of any way of faxing stuff that I've scanned through the internet to a fax machine. I've got a broadband connection if that matters. Cheers Vijay

The person who's buying my house has been a **** about price etc. and has made my removal of certain items from the house a condition of the sale. My plan is not to move them, as when she finds I haven't, it will be too late as I'll be in my new house. I guess she could pursue it legally, but surely it wouldn't be worth it due to the costs she will incurr. My question is - am I correct in thinking I could get away with this as stated.

Cash waiting for anyone breaking a manual. Need all the parts to convert a SWB TT to manual. I have finally given up on fixing my auto box. Went as far as the solenoids which were all tested and worked fine. Not sure where to go now without spending major bucks. Still stuck in second gear.

I removed the front bumper last night and behind it is a large black plastic grille (62256 40P00) which should be bolted onto the car with some rather hefty bolts (judging by the diameter of the holes), except mine isnt!! Anyone know what diameter, length or even part no they are? Cant find owt in the service manwell, so any help appreciated. Nick :cool:

Could be a bit long but worth reading... Got stopped in a hire car last May on the A55 by an unmarked pig mobile. Vectra! He pulled me at Abergele, told me I'd been doing more than a tonne in places but would give me the benefit of the doubt and put me down at 95mph. OK, bonus! Negat court appearance for that, fixed penalty. Only problem was that I'd sent my license off to DVLA when I moved into this house eons ago and they responded with "You now have to replace your license with a photocard jobby!" at the cost of 20 squids. So I never got round to it. Sue me!!! LOL :D So I had to produce my documents at the local bacon brigade inhabitance w…

Red zx seen on the way out of preston towards j31 on m6. At the top of the hill near to the roundabout. anyone?

I am looking into buying a 91 300ZX TT Auto Import. I am going for a test drive at the weekend (weather permitting) and wanted to get some advice from people that have been there before. I am aware of the usual checks you carry out on any used car (and this is obviously not 'any' used car). What I wanted is some 1st hand advice. When you bought your cars what did you wish you had checked? What things should I look for? etc etc etc. Don't want to buy a pony now do I! Cheers all :)

Thanks TTTim. Brill again. ian

Did your insurance companies use it as an excuse to hike your insurance up, or were they ok about it ?

Hi Dunno if this is normal but each time I come to clean me Zed (weekly) the insides of the exhausts (mongoose quads) are black with soot/carbon - is this normal? Its been de-catted if thats relevant. I'm going to get some proper cleaning stuff for it as scrubbing it was v tiring on the old arms :rolleyes: . What cleaning fluids do people use? Cheers Pete
