The FireFighters Strike!
thats exactly my point!!! if its so easy & there not worth the money - there wont be a problem will there?!?! im sure the green godess crews can handle it, eh!!?? :rolleyes: I tell you what id think if i was in that situation: I wish they got paid that fcuking 40% they wanted strike action is always a last resort, im sure they dont all WANT to do what they are doing. but at some point youve got to take action if you want people to listen. that certainly seems to have happened, think we all have to agree on that ;)

Heated Seat Failure :(
not looked at the wiring diagram or anything, but if the lights not coming on on the switch, it would seem to suggest a fault in the supply voltage to the switch, or the switch itself. like i said, not checked the diagrams, so check to confirm.

The FireFighters Strike!
hmmmmmmm, for those of you that think its unreasonable for them to withdraw their services & put lives at risk, that they are unreasonable for ask such a large pay rise..................................how much would you think they would be worth if you was trapped in a burning building, or need cutting out of your car after a multiple car pile up? a lot more than there getting now, im sure. so what if there are 1000's of people wanting to join - does that mean that they are worth less cos we can replace them with unskilled people wanting to join?? it IS unlikely that they will get the full amount anyway, so maybe they get 25%, is that really unreasonable in a job that is obviously VERY underpaid? so what their shifts allow them to do another job out of work hours - who wants to HAVE to do that anyway?????????? GOOD LUCK MARK! I really hope you all get what you deserve. decent pay.

High CO2 emissions....!
gio - that site looks like its directly out of the testers guide, so yes it seems to be accurate. btw, im a mot tester. :D
-
High CO2 emissions....!
yup, HC = hydrocarbons (unburnt fuel) everyone ignore the 7.5% co2!!! its the 3.97% co which its failed on!! which is still high but not quite so crazy as 7.5% !:rolleyes: the first thing to check is the o2 sensors are working still & no faults in ecu. poss temp sensor if it thinks its too cold still.

nzr - firewall
can anyone recommend a firewall for home use? I use the one in win XP pro but i gather this is very basic. or do you think its ok for home use?? cheerz :)
-
High CO2 emissions....!
ok, co must be below 3.5% - it is poss its been decatted. anyway, an avarage must be taken, so both sides must be tested then the results added together then halved. CO2 is NOT part of the MOT!!
-
High CO2 emissions....!
shit - scrap that just seen its 7.5% you posted - too high to pass a non cat test anyway :o sorry!! it IS CO the're looking at & NOT CO2, isnt it??????????????
-
High CO2 emissions....!
couple of points: 1, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not part of any mot test - its CO (carbon monoxide) - picky bit out of the way. 2, the 300zx is not in the database of my gas analyzer at work, nor is it in the emissions book provided by the ministry, meaning that you do a NON cat test. what have they tested the car as?? cos unless its a 95 car onwards (default cat test) you must have an EXACT match in the database to test it against. you can check the o2 sensors are working by going into mode 2 of the ecu diagnostic mode. hth
