Insurance quotes....??
I'm on an Admiral multicar policy, which works out pretty good for me £412 for the z and the daily, a 530d. Believe it or not the daily costs more than the z. Well worth asking them for a quote.

Organising anything soon?
The west coast run I was refering to was down round about the Ayrshire coast. We have had runs further north (through Glan Coe and back down by Oban) and amased four cars on two occassions and only me on another :). Then had a three day run up around the north west as far as Ullapool with two of us. Five cars out an a run will be pretty good going, you tend to find that more will turn up for a static meeting.

Organising anything soon?
When I was the REO we were always going to do a west coast run, but every time I tried to arrange it you guys went into hiding :). I'm still up for a run down that way but it will have to be next month I aint taxing the Z until all that nasty salt has been washed from the roads.

caliper repair kit quality
I used one of there kits about 4 years ago, the quality was pretty good back then. Certainly would not hesitate to use them again.

Rear subframe bushes...
I was almost tempted to do as jimmer suggests and fit collars, but was worried that would cause ride harshness and increase road noise. As I was taking the subframe anyway out to paint it was a no brainer to replace the bushes. I went for the Driftworks bushes for two reasons. 1. I then did not have to worry too much about trying to save part of the old bush housing. 2. They were cheaper and I'm a tight git :) If I were to do it again, now knowing whats involved I would probably go with the Energy Suspension bushes. They are designed to fit the Z properly, the Driftworks bushes do the job but the fitting kit that comes with them just han't been thought out.

Boiler advice please!
I had similar intermittent problems with my valliant boiler for ages. I replaced the diverter valve because it was leaking and never had a problem since. The valve cost me £70 of ebay.

Great tune, havent heard that one for ages. Not so keen on the Queen song.....apologies it being your wedding song and all, but never really been much of a fan of them. On with the 80's rock theme though
