parcel force
What i was referring to was collecting from the sorting office when a parcel has been missed..........

parcel force
And another thing why don't they sort out the times for picking up parcels.... Instead of the times when your at fookin work... ie maybe 5-9 at night as opposed to 7 til 12 during the DAY when most people are at work..hence the reason they were not in in the first place........ :rant:

parcel force
Lately Postal Service has been Total Crap.... Same thing here too.. Got card thru door ( i was in NO knock) so caught postman other side of street and asked for parcel... He didn't even F##kin have it.. said to go down to sorting office as it was there..So goes down and tosser behind the glass said you have to come back in 24 hours.So i explained what postman had just said to which he looked surprised , went round the corner, came 1 min later with parcel and apologised.... This is ONE of the Many PI$$ poor service i get from the Shite Royal Mail...... Total shite IMHO.............. :headvswal

Ouch! - bikers need to watch
Thats exactly what i thought.....had this happen before to me but normally when they go to overtake the car in front and they haven't seen me.. but don't think this was the case here... he deserves a :mac1: Even though he was overtaking the car in front he should have still checked his mirror

Suspension/Brake probs I think???
First check your wheel nuts are tight........ then check area around where the noise is for loose or defective parts

Wheel spacers?
Will only have to come off if you cant get longer studs into holes... Put an old wheel nut on to knock old studs out so you don't damage thread... just in case you need to re use them

Steering wheel
You can get a steering wheel boss with buttons on... i think DTA have them ( think there was a recent post about these )
-
Wheel spacers?
Knock studs out from the front with hubs in place...and providing you have enough clearance to get new longer studs in ? Then just use nuts to pull them into hub...you may need washers on to pull fully home.. a man with your skills = piece of cake............. :bow:

Throwing spanners at the shed again!
Yes studs can be removed but are often seized into exhaust due to heat... You just have to be careful and watch you dont crack manifold by applying to much force... always better with heat applied around the stud area for easier removal.. A stud is threaded both ends........
-
Throwing spanners at the shed again!
You might be able to drill the stud out if there is enough access... Stud would probably come out with a stud extractor a lot easier if you had heat on it also it might be worth having a word with your local exhaust centre as it would be a lot easier on a ramp and might not be that expensive.. Either way Good luck

hiding inheritance
Sad to say it but all she has to do is set it up in a trust fund via clever solicitor and will get away with paying fook all.. And still maintaining all her benefits ( Fookin should be classed as fraud ) Having said that i don't believe in inheritance tax and government taxes.. robbing tw@ts Taxed on everything you earn, buy and save and then u die and they want MORE............ :rant:

Braided Brake Hoses
Well first time in 5 yrs Z failed its mot... On metal brake pipes so its not too bad for a 16yr old car..( the garage politly declined to do the job ) So decided to upgrade the flexi hoses to braided lines when i am on with it.. However did a search and seems like there was a problem with certain thread fitment and lack of retaining clips on goodridge hoses .. does anyone know if this has been sorted or can advise on a supplier who has correct fitting hoses for a 1990 jap import... ? Can't see any traders listing them...Cheers
