Not in anyway lucky mate, but at least the little **** bag pikey **** didn't scratch down the whole side of the car....is it deep?

sounds like the start of some sort of Jimmy Saville joke....

I'm guessing that's in Russia...

Isn't the rear hatch heavy mainly due to the weight of the glass mate, are you looking at alternate material options?

:blink:

I suspect it probably shares the same rear view mirror glass (albeit a special lightweight composite version) with that of the road car and that is where the similarities to the Z32 end

Whack some indicators and number plates on it and that's one hell of a daily driver that you've got!

Not true ^^^^^

1/4 of a million!! I'd rather my mates carbon bodied Radical if I'm honest, I wouldn't be in so much trouble with the wife if/when I smashed it into the gravel

Give Marty (Gonzo12c) a shout, he's got a decent pair fitted I believe

Too rounded for me, not enough angles going on...

The hob is on a seperate 32amp RCD labelled 'cooker' in the fuse box the oven is on a seperate 16amp RCD via a fused switch, from what I can see the oven extractor fan is spurred off the oven fused switch to a seperate fused switch (both appliances are obviously 13amp), the sparky signed off when the extractor and oven were both wired into the same fused switch. This has since been changed

Currently the hob has a cooker switch above the worktop on a 32amp fuse the oven/extractor was on a single 13amp fused switch at the time that the electrician signed it off, but for some reason my old man decide off his own back despite me telling him not to, to hack away at the wall and add another 13amp fused switch (see pic) in order that the oven and extractor have their own switches. In doing so (1. It looks shit) 2. a couple of the double plug sockets along the work top now don't work and 3. The electricians check is now null and void and it's going to cost me another £140 odd to get him to re-check it/sort it.

Arrange a test drive in all options and base your decision on what you find and are happy to pay. Don't rush into a purchase and buy right first time :thumbup1:

This one is an average sized Wickes special, I think the old cooker that we removed was a free standing one and that was on 6mm cable to a 32amp fuse in the box

Thanks guy's that's pretty much what I suspected, and I realise that the whole competancy thing is a bit of a grey area. The oven is definately 13amp mate

One of our rental properties has undergone a complete renovation in order for us to get it ready for new tenants, part of this involved the fitting of a complete new kitchen. Now I've employed my old man for the last 5 months as he was a builder in his hay day many moons ago, however recently I've had a bit of a ding dong with him regarding what he should and should not be getting involved with.....(ie. a bricky should touch bricks and not touch anything gas or electrics related!) After I insisted categorically that he touch nothing at all gas related, the boiler/central heating/gas piping etc has all been sorted by a qualified gas safe registered fitter (all good and signed off) and we've had an electrician in to check and sign off the electrics... The electrician spent the entire morning checking everything off throughout the property and was happy to sign it off with a few points highlighted such as original plug socket locations etc etc...all good so far I've just found out tonight that my old man, after I specifically told him not to, has added wiring and sockets after it had been checked off by the electrician! Question 1: As my father is not a qualified electrician and has no Mains Compliance qualification and doesn't know what a Minor Works Certificate is (the confused look on his face this evening confirmed this) I belive that he should not be touching the electrics. I'd like to state that he is compitant and it was his re-wiring that the electrician signed off (ie. he replaced the old cable for new, re-ran it and re-terminated the sockets throughout the house) however I believe that his recent additions in the kitchen are wrong? Question 2: Does this additional wiring/sockets in the kitchen now null and void the recent electricians inspection and do I need the electrician to come back out and check it again, even if the additional wiring/sockets are removed? Question 3: The new kitchen features a built in oven with seperate hob and seperate extractor fan. Now I belive that the hob is rated to 32amp and as such should be wired to the original cooker cable (6mm) and run to a seperate cooker switch on the wall near the cooker and subsequently run to a 32amp fuse in the fuse box. The oven is only 13amp and therefore cannot be run off the same 32amp switch as the hob, and must be seperate to it on a 13amp fused switch (2.5mm cable is more than sufficient for this). The extractor is also 13amp and can be run to the same 13amp fused switch as the oven (ie. it doesn't require a seperate 13amp fused switch to that of the oven.....so I don't need to have two seperate 13amp fused switches side by side for the oven and extractor (one 13amp fused switch is enough for both appliances). I could really do with a steer on this one because I really don't want to have unnecessary wiring and switches in a new property that may/may not be wired correctly and also as it's to let, I don't want to leave myself open to liable action due to a null and void certificate... cheers Pez

A very good example of 'actual' fact blowing 'hearsay' fact out of the water I think!

That's weird I watched this clip last night...

ah, I see....not sure how the government managed to pull us out of a recession (apart from the small fact of 85p a litre at the beginning and near as damn it £1.50 a litre at 'the end') Genius :thumbup1:

I figured (very confused???) that I'd have a look on the BBC news website to see if I could figure out who 'they' are and to determine what 'it' is that they are all talking about and whether or not I'd seen any hint as to whether or not they had actually started to do whatever it was that they may or may not be doing.....would then call bullshit or not on that basis..... http://www.bbc.com/news/business-20083272 Yes I think Ford are going to close the Dagenham branch and 1,400 jobs will go....though I haven't seen anything as yet but there do seem to be slightly less Transit vans in Hereford today....could it be a sign? It was either that ^^^^^ or 'Ash fungus was discovered in the UK countryside' if not...maybe a tad more of a steer is needed perhaps :blink:

I had to experiment with 3 different types of side mount (2 x OMP and 1 x Sparco) before I found these Sparco side mounts which provide the perfect seating position for me

Putting the obvious negatives aside (which could be easily rectified I think), it looks like a pretty good starting point if somebody was looking for a new project

Spot on there ^^^^, the turbo version of the Z31 (let alone the NA) is under-powered + overweight. I had three at one stage and drifted two of them that were stripped to the bare bones. They were propper donkeys (loads of fun) but definately donkeys, too much rust and engines that overheat and pop at the earliest sign of an irresponsible raggin' :whistling:. I've seen a supposedly mint one up for £4k but to be fair it was 'up' for a very long time, we're talking years and I don't even know if that sold in the end or simply disappeared in a large pile of powdery rust. Depending on your outlay to date mate I'd be more inclined to either tidy it up, get it taxed and tested and then sell on for a small/realistic profit or put it in a shed with a tarp over the top and wait until 2047 when I believe tidy Z31's will be in demand again... good luck regardless bud
