driving endorsements, how long?
lol its so hard to stick to it like glue. round our way it goes up down like a yoyo. theres a few fast straight carriageways that you think are national they feel like they should be that have been taken down to 50, in the van im restricted by law to 60 on a dual and the amount of times because theyre so close i forget and drift up to 55/60. and of corse the cameras are about.

driving endorsements, how long?
i got 3 points on my license, for a cu30 (defective tyre) which in march will be 3 years since the conviction date. now i cant remember how long these little tinkers take to get off my license. is it three years or five? have a nice clean license then(hopefully, unless the buggers sting me for something else). which considering i do around 30k a year and im under 30 means im a bit more likely to be both caught and prosicuted, they love the youngens :/

This forums dreadful dealings with disabilty topics

Good price for timing belt kit??
Think ul find as richard said thats for a z31 which came with a single cammed head rather than twin cam heads ike ours. Id stick with oem for stuff like that and conceptz or z1 are pretty good on 60k kits etc.

Disabled Drivers Free Road Tax and Parking
i was more disappointed in other peoples reactions than your own Ian, i made my point on that at the time. i used to be friends with a chap when i was a kid who was wheel chair bound due to spinobifida (sp?) anyways it was always surprising how much could be overcome with gut determination, so i have alot of admiration for anyone who has these extra things to contend with. i think you were right to stand your ground. i think people are obviously and rightly so annoyed and fed up with the scroungers in this country and unfortuntly they applied that frustration without prior or full thought. they simply didnt take into consideration that there are people who genuinely deserve the help. we need to remember that its fantastic that this country is able to provide a benfit or wellfare system for those that really need it, it is however a disgrace this is abused. mostly it seems by non nationals and non contributors. unfortunatly that isnt going to chnage anytime soon. anyways i will finish this off when i have more time.

re: my upcoming turbo refurb.
poor reputation when done at home or generally? i thought rebuilding them was pretty normal?
-
re: my upcoming turbo refurb.
right i was looking for two things regarding this, advice on how to proceed with the rebuild, and a list of parts or consumables Il need to do the job gaskets etc etc. so after looking into rebuilds cost seem to run from around £200 to £350 each tub. rebuild kits are around £100 for a genuine garrett kit. plus £63 to balance so around £163 per tub id be perfectly happy to rebuild my tubs myself, as after doing a bit of reading them seem very similar internally to the water pumps i build at work on a regular basis, so i feel i could handle this. although for the saving of about £40 a side the stress and risk dont seem particularly worth it. that £40 is worth it for peace of mind.... so whats your thoughts?

Finally picked me new car up, so new problems lol
Well logically if its the same syptoms as the fuse its got to be with the supplyvto that circuit. Annnoying process of multimetering. As for the idle have you checked the tps and idle control without the valve, disconnect it see what happens. Reset the base and clean tge connections. May also be worth checking the plugs are gapped correctly.

Couple quick questions on parts
I take it your referring to the rear crank oil.seal. If so once the clutch is off and flywheel its just sat there. Nothing ectra just pry it out, and dont damage the recess.

As mark said its just cutting the ignition, its actually for track cars esp drift cars better. Stops them running lean when bouncing off the limiter.
