Did they say why? De-branding will still cost about £20 If it's because it's from Spain then it could be a software issue (getting rid of their branding stuff) but I doubt it. More likely they don't know what they are doing. I could have a word with a couple of shops up this neck of the woods for you if you like?

Your local phone shop (NOT the brand name ones) will be able to Unlock and de-brand it for you, should cost in the reagion of £20 - £30

We were involved in a number of TV adverts for various reasons and some TV news stuff when the tilting trains were here. I know I was there but not one bit of bloody footage shown had me visable in it!! :rofl: Bloody typical!

Spot-On!! :bow:

We have two tracks, one is 13 miles in total of which 11 miles have overhead wires. The second track is 4 miles all with overhead cables, but also with 4 kilometres of 3rd and 4th DC rail (ie; London Underground, the red train in the first pic) It varies depending on the days testing as to how much milage we do in a day, there are also planning restrictions placed upon us as to how many times we can pass certain locations during the day (no running at night or Bank Holidays as well) Both of the trains in the first pic are not currently in passenger service just yet. The red one, we are commisioning the entire fleet, for London Underground SSL services, and the yellow one, we've only had a few of these for some shakedown testing (but will return very soon, hopefully) and these are for London Overground. We can, and sometimes do, test anything that is railway based here. It's a unique facility, the only dedicated one of it's kind in the UK (in fact there are only two more in Europe!)

This was filmed at our place........ [YOUTUBE]lHtRZ_k0s7M?[/YOUTUBE] OK, it was a few years ago, and NO I wasn't driving it!! :rofl:

You don't feel it. In fact unless you're in the cab looking forwards you don't even notice when the train is tilting or if it's the tilt (cant) of the track! Very odd feeling when you're not used to it. It's even odder when you have it in forced opposite tilt for testing purposes :eek: VERY unnerving!!

No, like this................. This was NOT taken here ;)

Borrowed this photo from a local website that watches what we do here ;) This is myself driving one of our test trains back in April this year. I'm in the one on the right (yellow front, you cant see my face, I'm on the right of the cab as you see it) and a collegue is driving the red one behind (slower track and unit!) which I'd just overtaken :D This is a brillient and fun job, especially when I'm out driving these test units. The fastest I've driven on this track is 120mph (tilting), and the fastest I've been driven is 145mph (tilting) (special test conditions).

Nope not available. Not on YouTube. I've checked on some of the torrent sites and it's not there either. Dave

Depends what it is, have you looked for it on YouTube? TBH I doubt they'd send you a copy though.

I'm sure there's loads of people in Japan who do!! :confused:

Can't be done! Well not properly, you can get software that'll record your entire screen, but to be honest I found that to be crap. All BBC content (iPlayer, BBC News sites etc) use sophisticated software to stop you from doing it, as soon as the hackers get close Adobe do an update. Even if you download it via iPlayer you still cant use the save file for anything other than playing with iPlayer, and it has a time stamp within the file that only allows you a certain time to watch it in. Sorry bud, I know that's not what you wanted to hear! Dave

Go for the genuine Bosch ones, the cheap ones don't last very long at all.

This will give you some idea as to what is involved....... http://www.conceptzperformance.com/Cart/description.php?II=276&Car_Type=NIS300&UID=2010082315130192.26.132.4 Which is this lot.... I'd also recommend replacing this lot as well while you are taking things apart.... Which is the Injector harnesses, the Temp sender and the temp sender harness, along with (but not pictured) the Coil Pack connectors. HTH Dave

Here's a page from the owners manual. It shows Series 1 (type A) on the left and Series 2(+) (type B) on the right.

I've received an answer back.... :rofl: :rofl:

USPS arn't too bad, but you'll probably get stung on import duty. You could try UPS, but when I've had dealings with them you DEFO get stung for duty!!

Well someone had to post it..... :rofl: :rofl:

That list is soooooooooooo out of date :rofl: Some have left, some have been banned, and most (including the so-called area rep) don't bother to post anymore!!

I've just sent him a message to ask what mods he's done to the car ;)
