HTH Cheers John Crisp

Just Failed M.o.t
Wez It wasnt too bad to fit, just getting the old track off and i was lucky i had access to a press to fit the hub into the bearing and also my rear discs were not too worn so i got the disc off without too much grief. Get yourself a manual on CD form for torque's etc...well worth it...i got mine from Luke at the Z Centre. HTH John Crisp

Workers rights
Stuart I dont want to dampen anything with regards unions as I am a member of Amicus-AEEU, but within the last year my work has sacked 1 guy and forced 1 guy to resign all because the Fat Controller doesnt like them...nothing else. They both had union backing but my mate Chas who was sacked ended up going to a Independant Employment lawyer and he's now in legal proceedings against my work, he was advised to go to ACAS to get a settlement by the union lawyer.....his employment lawyer said no because he has a better case to go to court against my work as he has a good case.. The 2nd instance I know about is related to changing contracts again the guys at a local Bus Works went against union advice, basically what happened was the guys who have worked for the Bus Company were to be sub contracted to my work under the same conditions they had.....flat rate pay no overtime rates and not even the rate i get for the same job title....again the union tried to get them to accept.....they all chipped in 30 quid i think it was to get an Independant Employment Lawyer for advice.....now that deal is scrubbed as the guys were advised to sign nothing and reject the deal... I dont mean to bad mouth unions etc but it might be worth getting independant advice as I was saying.... Enough warbling from me...time for a beer.. Cheers John Crisp

Just Failed M.o.t
OOPS forgot to say its not just a bearing that is supplied, the bearing carrier comes with the kit also, all thats needed is the hub removed, the old bearing track chiseled off the hub, then the hub pressed into the new bearing/carrier, probably thats why the bearing is so expensive. Cheers John Crisp

Just Failed M.o.t
Wez I got a back bearing for 80 quid last year from a motor factor, made by HSK i think, cant say about price for fitting as i fitted it myself. HTH John Crisp

Does PTU2 fit old PTU1 connectors
I recently fitted a PTU S2 to my 1993 TT but had to fit adapter harness's supplied with the new S2 PTU as the plugs on S1 and S2 PTU's are different. HTH Cheers John Crisp

gto prices against zx
Spending 5 or 6 k on a car doesnt always guarantee a good car....buying a car is like a lottery...with a zed even more so....I am just lucky I can work on my own car as i'd hate to have bought a car then have to rely on Nissan or some other rip off merchants repairing/botching up. Even a service history I dont think is a real guarantee, the technicians in most dealerships have prob missed out an oil change/filter change, cleaned the filter on the outside to make it look new, then kept the filter for a home job while stamping your service book...aha another satisfied customer.....not. I am not implying all technicians do this...but working in a main dealer is a real eye opener. Enough warbling from me.....John Crisp

How Thick Is Your Apprentice ???
LOL to the stories, and I thought thick apprentices were only in my place of work....makes ya wonder what keeps them going when they get the piss taken out of them all day....I get the impression their heads would go down easily...until they strike back at the journey men....not today did we have an older mechanic trying to kid on set about our local 'thick tongue' apprentice.......only for Big Rab as he's known to end up making a horses dick of himself....the apprentice did a karate move and the big man ended up on the deck in a head lock....us 'old heads' have gotta watch out...the young team might be plotting a massive country wide 'payback' via apprentices text messagine each other all over the country...plotting our downfall......watch this space.....
